the dorsal looks short also, but it could be your photo. does this fish have a sunken belly? or is this also a photo distortion? if it is sunken...you have issues to remedy on his behalf. IMHO.
best way to repair fin shredding is with increased water changes. if conditions are right, a fish can grow fin back similar to the speed we grow fingernails. IME, missing chunks are caused by battle and/or aggression, while feathering is more about water quality, space, and overall health. FYI, your front shows sign of feathering.
i would suggest to anti up with extra water changes for a couple weeks. if you notice some repair at that time, then you have the issue resolved, and can simply continue that type of w.c. schedule forever :wink:. if the fish shows little sign of progress after that, then i would move him to Q for a light salt bath (i use jungle's fungus eliminator). HTH.
