Default black moor

i've got a black moor, but only after i got home i noticed that one of his tail fins is a little ragged. there's no white spots, nothing. just the end of the tailfin has a small ragged spot. he's been eating well, swimming normal. i've been adding 3 teaspoons of melafix (he's in a 29 gallon). he's only 1 inch long. i also added some aquarium salt. what else should i do?

Does the ragged spot look like a white bump? If it does than it got the same thing as my black moor does. Don't worry, mine has that for about 4 weeks now and it doesn't seem to affect my fish either.

My black moor had a few holes in his tail as well as having ragged edges. I fed him these Sinking pellets and he healed up really fast. They've Spirolina in them so they keep him a really nice color too.

I'd treat it with Melafix just to be safe...
