So I'm in a bit of a pickle. My mom recently passed and left a betta behind. Her partner has been taking care of the fish and when I went down for the funeral I decided to meet the fish. However his fins look nothing like my betta's fins. I'm wondering if it's fin rot or if some bettas naturally have fins like this. My mom never sent many pictures (and I'm in no state to look through her past messages to me) so I'm not sure if this is normal or not for this fish.





We're hoping to give the betta to my brother as my nieces are really interested in it and my brother is best suited in the area to take care of fish. However we don't want to give it to them only for it to die immediately because of fin rot or something.

My understanding is that my mom got the fish a month or two ago at a Petco so I'm not sure of the age. The plants are silk instead of plastic so they shouldn't be tearing at his fins. He's swimming, hiding, sleeping, and eating normally. I guess he's fine and it's just normal.

Thank you for the condolences.
