Ok, so I bought a Betta a few months ago now and he has started showing signs of tattered and torn fins?? Iā€™m quite concerned it may be Fin Rot but I need some help confirming this or not. I can provide pictures if needed.

Now I have been reading up, but how can you tell if there is redness around the areas blah blah if your Betta is fiery red? Haha. Thanks in advance
 
We do need some more information from you.

Finrot is usually caused by poor water conditions or some other form of stress so we need to know:
How big is his tank
Does it have a filter
Does it have a heater
What are the ammonia and nitrite readings
How often and how big are the water changes
Did you cycle the tank before getting the fish (by this I mean did you add ammonia to the tank)
Does the tank have any decor with rough edges

Water changes - lots of them - are the best cure for finrot, so start with daily water changes and see how he goes from there. Should he need medication, it would be helpful to know which country you are in as meds vary from country to country.
 
Hi

A close up photo of the fins would be helpful.
