Peter had some rude roommates that recently decided to start nipping at his fins, theyve since been relocated to another tank but my poor Peters fins are a bit of a wreck. Is there anything I can do to fix them?? (Apologies not the clearest shots of him but I was trying to get a quick pic of his fins)

The fins should heal just fine on their own. Just make sure the water is clean and healthy, and that’s is!
Good water chemistry, time and love.
One of my male bettas fins got nipped SEVERELY by a roommate. As in he went from a beautiful long finned half moon to basically a fish stump in under 5 minutes. He had next to zero fin. I obviously moved him out of the tank with mean roommates, and after about a week and a half of being by himself with some snails, he had about 50% of his fins back, and then after a month he was basically fully healed. I imagine that it could take more time depending on the particular fish, but once the problem fish is gone, they will heal nicely with good water quality.
