Is This Blown Fins?

Hi
Put these pics on my other thread, but was hijacked by Netty!!!!!

Could this have been caused by flaring??

Cheers

No it looks to me like they have been munched, blown fins is mainly splits and freys in the tail....I say munched but it would be hard for him to get too, any chance they got caught in the filter intake or somthing?

Trouble is we dont know how they could have been munched or chomped etc....

He's in the side of the tank which DOES NOT have the filter. There's not really anything that he could have caught them on. We took out the coconut shell just in case it was that but its been fine up till now.

It happened within 12hrs, weird?

Some bettas actually bite their own tails. I have one I keep a ping pong ball in to keep him occupied when he gets aggressive. I tried putting a female next to him but he still did it. I found out for sure he was doing this while I was changing his bowl and he was in a cup he started doing it right in front of me

If it was the caudal fin then I would tend to think he had been munching it. But there's no way he could reach his dorsal & anal fins to chew

I've had finrot on Odin that looks like that, bits were just falling away overnight, like fraying, at the time other fish in his tank were getting it too which is why I knew it was finrot, I'd get some myxazin if I were you!
