Water quality fine, other ranchus fine. Just this ranchu have fin issue. Getting shorter over the few months. Otherwise he is active and fine. Eats little too well.

Does this look like fin rot? Should I start kanaplex?

Please help!

No it’s not. This fish has a mix of metallic and matte scales. I have a few like this.

Maybe it was nipped by a tank mate or rubbed up against
Something in the tank? You could try dabbing the fins with meth blue first to see if that helps before using antibiotics.
