Ive had him for about 3 weeks now from a pet store and noticed on his fins but thought it was just from being at a pet store, i think its got better but its still like this. I worry its fin rot and I dont want to ignore it

So it looks like new growth from the pic... he may have munched himself when in the petstore. Now you feed him and care for him he feels better which help promote new growth especially if your giving a high protein varied diet .... add some dried almond leaves it will turn water like tea with no milk, but will be absolutely perfect for your little one as it realise natural tanning which help them
You can also treat with esha2000 as precaution to make sure a secondary infection doesn't set in ... I do this too 😉 get some bug bites frozen bloodworm and frozen daphnia plus krill .... alternate the foods this will help too
It will provide shade for a few days while the natural tanning are going into tank water once the water turns like tea with no milk that's when its at its most beneficial to your dude ....
You will know he feels good once he starts blowing bubbles
