nah, more like a cold. catch it early and treat it, all is good. Let it go untreated and things can get much worse.

Well he gets better, then he flares up and explodes his fins, then gets better. On going cycle. LFS said t just keep him calm till his fins regrow to to their full length and strength then hell be fine. Easier said the done...

Honestly, I think he blew his tai from all that flaring :/

Still in the treatment tank. I leave his light off all day until Im home and have the lights on in my room. That keeps him from flaring up as much. He's gota the window light so he does get enough lgiht.

Now his dosal fin is ragged, it also has green and white disoloration around the missing part like it might have also got some chlorine burn.

Charnged his water.

Now treating with Maracyn and Jungle Fungus. His other fins seem to be doing good.

I know he wants to go into his new home....

I had a betta that completely lost his dorsal fin and it left a white spot where the fin once was. It had a sore in the middle of it and he was scratching it on the side of the vase. I treated with Betta Fix and the sore went away though the white spot stayed. The guy at my lfs said the white was damaged tissue. My betta was fine after it healed, even though the dorsal fin never grew back.
