Good evening all! I have a long fin danio that I noticed today has his back fins separated into three parts, all my other leopard danios donāt have fins like this so I got concerned and separated them from the others in my quarantine/hospital tank. I checked my water parameters and my ammonia levels were in between 0.25ppm-0.50ppm which I immediately did a water change and added an instant ammonia neutralizer. My filter has now been running for a month and the cartilage was pretty black and it has been giving me the sign to change the cartilage for over a week now. Since it hadnāt been four weeks yet I didnāt change it until today as I thought that could also be making it worst.
I know a good chunk of the beneficial bacteria live in the filters so I kept that in mind and added some of the bacteria starter I had according to my gallon which is a 29G holding about 24G of water.
I am wondering if for my little leopard danio (long fin) if thereās anything I can do for them. I havenāt noticed my other fish have anything similar to this fish yet which is why I separated him. I will attach a slow motion YouTube video of my fish swimming as well as a screenshot from the video where you can see the fin Separated into three parts.
I really like my aquarium and Iām trying to be a good aquarium keeper.

Thank you ahead of time for the help!
