I saw my fish this morning and he was fine looking good. I go back this afternoon and he looks like he got into a bad fight his fin is missing a chunk and the ends are shredded. I think the filter might have gotten a hold of his fins? I am not sure but I am upset he looks so beat up.
I think something similar has happened to just about every Betta owner. The good thing is the fins will regrow & I'm sure you know how to fix the filter problem.
The exact thing happened recently to my little boy Piglet in the space of about an hour.I came back inside after playing with my dogs in the yard & his tail was shredded.I think he got too close to the filter.So I placed a leaf from one of his plants partly covering the filter intake & that has seemed to work good.His tail is already looking better so that's great! :-D
