Fin rot or just torn fins?

[greatfiasco]

The super bright picture is the day I got him. The darker picture is him today. He does have a pretty spiky plant in his tank that is to be replaced ASAP but I want to make sure it's not something more serious. Please help?

(I can try for a better picture if someone needs it)

i think its just torn fin(from own expirence). but just in case i would purchase medicine if you see the symtoms of fin rot.

You should've heard the sigh of relief that just came out of me haha. I'm certainly going to the LPS for some meds and a softer plant tomorrow.

He is. Love him to death. I wish I had the ability to spoil my fish like I dream of.

my betta just passed a few days ago so take good care of yours. he was stressed because of his torn fins and got sick. he would refuse to eat. he had a bunch of sicknesses.

I'm so sorry :( I've got another boy who's been with me for a couple of years. He's been pretty lethargic lately and I'm afraid he's going soon. *hugs*

Also, thanks for the other opinions. All the advice in the world will always help!
