Niger trigger fin rot?

Not sure. But someone should chime in within a few hours. It's a slow time on the forums.

Welcome to TFF. Lots of knowledgeable members here to answer and questions you may have.

Does the fish have a creamy white film over it like in the pictures?
If yes, you need to check the water quality for everything and maybe do a massive (90%) water change.

If the anal (bottom) fin has been like that for 3 months, it isn't fin rot.

Can you post another picture of him and maybe a video?
Videos can be uploaded to YouTube, then copy & paste the link here. If you use a mobile phone to fill the fish, hold the phone horizontally (landscape mode) so the footage fills the entire screen and doesn't have black bars on either side.

The fish's eyes look cloudy, which is usually water quality related.

The anal fin doesn't look too bad.

What else is in the tank?
It's more likely to be a bite than fin rot

The puffer might have bitten the trigger. I would monitor it over the next week. If it gets worse, post more pictures, and watch the puffer to see if it's nipping anyone else.
