Hate to say, but this is not a form of fin rot or deterioration but appears to be a product of aggression. This is sheared off from aggression or biting. Fin and tail rot has a shredded appearance.
What other occupants are in the tank with this fish?
 
2 clowns lemon damsel sprinters and jewel
 
He is not being bullied I don’t think so
 
Tried looking through posts for some info. Can you give some details on your tank? Size, full tank pic and inhabitants might help.
 
I will do it is a 100g 5ft tank inhabitants are 2 clowns 3 damsels lemon jewel springeri
