Hello, I noticed this morning that my FHs anal fin is shattered
The white membrane holding each branch of the fin is gone just around the tip of the anal fin.

I am currently not treating the FH and letting his/her selfheal as I think it is just a damage that sadly happened somehow.
However, I wanted more expert members personal opinion about this damage whether it is a sign of disease or just a random cause that sadly happened.
If you have any recommended chemical/food/product to help his/her healing please leave it on the post with full name as I will most likely have to order it from eBay and will take me about 2-3weeks to receive as I live in NZ where there is nothing but sheeps and hobbits.
Thank you so much for your time
About the FH
Water is perfect and so his/her behavior.
I have been feeding dramatically fewer pellets after knowing I have been overfeeding the FH (15~20 pellet to only 5 pellets per feeding (3 times a day)) and recently started to use different brands for pellet as well (GS/Hikari to OceanFree XO starry/Humpy head).
I do see less pooping and different colour poop (same colour as food) after changing his/her diet but no sign of white strings.
I have got Bichir Senegal inside the same tank but that fin damage to me does not look like Bichir's bite and FH is more dominant inside the tank compared to my BIchir.
I do have a wave maker and It does have enough gaps for that fin to go, however, with the current, it is making I think it will be really slim for his/her fin to fit inside and get torn.
