So I noticed my betta's fins were fray about a week ago when I returned from a short vacation. I checked the water params, and have been checking daily, since then. Ammonia sits at zero, nitrites sit at zero, nitrates I try to keep at 5 ppm or lower. Tankmates are two nerite snails, and two ghost shrimp. Live plants are some moneywort, anubias, a bit of java moss, and a bunch of moss balls (I'm addicted to them
).
Since I had noticed the fraying fins, I've kept the water at 82-83 degrees, and have been doing roughly 30% water changes every other day. It does not seem to be helping too much. Here are some pics.


I don't see any black on the fins, but I have read in a few places online that fin rot could be white. It is hard to tell since the frayed edges are on white parts of the fins. Can anyone identify the issue?
Thanks in advance!
I should mention that the webbing seen on Scherbatsky's (my betta's) dorsal and anal fins are normal, as they have been like that since I bought him. My concern is the fraying on the caudal fin.
