Tail looks fine a little kinked but no black and it looks like its gonna shed-- tail rot will start w/ nips bites and pinches that have cut off circulation --
Thank you! I have been researching for the last 3 days and I still didn't understand if he had tail rot or no

Kinks happen for a variety of reasons, and aren't a worry, With tail rot the flesh is actually dying/dead. Also it is normal for their tails to become vary dark right before and during shed, or when they are cool, stressed ect.

Tails are normally darker my male has his darkest colors from his vent to the tip of his tail it's also harder at the tip I would keep a eye on it but it looks like he is just gonna shed

Mirage entered brumation yesterday, I'm gonna miss hanging out with my little guy.
Getting ready for another day. Feeling sleepy. 😴
I just walked into my room and instead of looking at me, Swordtail's eyes darted directly to the ice cream drumstick I'm holding
Finally replaced Swordtail's substrate
I miss you so much, Amaris 💔
