Hey I’m curious about my niger trigger fin. Iv had him for 3 months and I noticed his bottom fin was damaged. He has been eating regularly and it seems to not bother him. I’m not sure if it’s fin rot or a mechanical damage. Any thoughts? Thank you!

Pics are fuzzy but appears to be fin ray damage. Assure you are maintaining good water quality and keep an eye on it. It should get better before it gets worse. If worse, may becoming a bacterial issue but good water quality should alleviate that
