Is this tail biting or a fin problem?

Ha! He does!
Q: DO you have a light that allows him to see his reflection on the glass or another tank nearby?
I had a betta once that bit his fins because he couldn't "attack" another fish.

hmm, I don't know, sometimes those critter keepers seems reflective, maybe I should get him a fish decoy, I'm sure it's psychological..

dont worry... it seems like every veiltail gets to biting (even tho they have the longest and prettiest tails) my boy Demyx started biting too...i would soak his food in garlic juice to help it grow back... im sorry about his tail

It's like watching the death star swim around... so disappointing. Thanks.

Well he's definitely not "clampy" anymore! I like the name Fang. Definitely not Edward. I'm not going to share my opinion on that series of books/movies... ugh.

Sorry to hear about the biting! Couldn't tell ya what's making him do it, fish psychology is a field I'm afraid to step into after getting to know my boys and girl. lol
