I had recently moved my Betta into a 10 gallon tank.
High Range PH: either 8.0 or 8.2
Ammonia: .25 ppm
Nitrite: 0 ppm
Nitrate: 5 ppm
I know my levels aren't the best, it's my first time cycling a tank (I did fishless cycle) and I still have a lot to learn :/ Also, I use Seachem Prime conditioner.
My Betta is eating normally and has consistently incredibly high energy, however about 2 days ago I noticed that his tail was looking shredded, it had a slit down it yesterday and today all three fins are very shredded. I don't think it is fine rot, but not positive. I'm not sure if he is biting them because they had become extremely long (can bettas reach that far to bite all three?) Or if he is tearing them in the filter. I have a Top Fin Silentstream 10 Power Filter which is adjustable and on the smallest stream possible, but he loves to swim in its current and play right under it. He is also about 3 years old now, so that might be a factor in his fin health as well.
