Hey! I am still new to this whole betta owning thing. Just seeing if this is fin rot? All his water parameters seem fine to me so I am not sure what is causing it if it is.
Temp: 80F
PH: 7.8
Ammonia: 0ppm
Nitrite: 0ppm
Nitrate: 5ppm

Very active boy, not showing any signs of being lethargic. He loves exploring inside different caves and then resting on his hammocks.
Ive had him for about 2 weeks and the tank for a month
As far as tankmates there is 1 snail
He gets 2 pellets day and night, and occasionally i see him nibbling on the algae pellets for the snail
Live plants and 1 artificial silk in the tank, as well as a piece of artificial drift wood (looking to replace with real drift wood soon)
I’m colorblind and the photos a bit hard but look for coloring on the very ends
Red or black on a blue fish = fin rot
Translucent = new growth
Coloring not on tip = fish is maturing
Oh wow that is a very healthy tail! All that white or clear at the end is new growth! I’m assuming he nipped it before but it’s grown back lovely. You’re doing a great job try to keep up that growth.
Is your fishy relatively new to you? I just took in one from a pet store that was in rough shape. All around the edges of his fins it’s slowly healing and growing back and looks similar to this.
Looks like new growth to me
