Damaged top fin

[pinocchio]

I’m currently treating my clown and gramma for brook. While in the QT I was able to get a good picture of my gramma. The top of his fin looks damaged (he came like this). Wondering if this is fine or if I should be treating him for something else while in QT. I’ve only had him less than a week so not sure how long he’s been like that previously or if it was from being netted at store.

Looks like a couple of clean bites out of the top fin. Fish appears in isolation and you should see it slowly restoring its shape and becoming less fin appearance.
Keep on eye on it for regrowth as this does not look like any form of rot or bacterial issue

I think I can see new clear fin growth between the rays, if so, it will heal with no issues.
