I just purchased a betta with severe fin damage. He is now in a clean, cycled warm 20 gallon tank, with about 4 gallons to call his own.



I was wondering how long it generally take fins to regrow? Anything I can do to speed this process up?

When I first got my female betta she had some damage to her fins, and they were completely healed within a week. Whereas my older male has had damaged fins for over a year and once he was finally distracted from tail biting, it took a couple of months before they grew back. So age probably has a factor, as would how often and for how long the damage has been occurring.

it doesnt take long at all if the fish is happy :)

first off id feed him well, he's fairly thin, the little bugger.
excersise is good too. a few minutes a day with a mirror works wonders.
you can add some stress coat (but VERY little), its actually not as good if used according to bottle. i always add just half of the advised amount...

othr than that, sit back and watch :)
