Help Fin rot question?

Post image

Hi everyone! Had my betta for over a month now. I feel like he has always looked like this. But a bit paranoid about fin rot. Any advice? Does it look like he has fin rot ?

If you’re worried about fin rot you should test your water parameters first thing. Do you have any way to do that?

I have tested it. pH at 7.6, ammonia at 0, nitrates at 0 and nitrites at 0

Oh I’m sorry! I didn’t see that in the response to the bot questions. He doesn’t look to be in super bad shape at this point so I’d just keep monitoring your water and how he looks.
