Hello! I've recently started my first aquarium about 7-8 months ago. I bought a new betta fish (Rosalina) a little over a month ago. Since I bought Rosalina I noticed she has something worm-like attached to one of her fins. I did research on anchor worms but it doesn't have a split head and it's the same color of her fin, it almost looks like a little strip of her fin. I don't want to pull it out before I'm first thoroughly convinced it is something harmful. Anyone have any ideas?

Much appreciated, Alana ?
(P.s. let me know if you need more pictures, it's hard to get a good one of her when she's such a fast swimmer. )

Are you talking about the red thing on the anal (bottom) fin?
 
I am glad to say that this looks like a normal healthy betta, if you notice unusual behaviour or suspect a worm maybe use a preventive de-wormer
