Do you have aquarium salt? What size tank is he in? Is there a heater?

[bettalover2033]

well to start off no im sorry but i do not have any aquarium salt and i have a ten gallon tank that he was in but i dont know if fin rot is contagious so i took him out and put him in a half gallon tank. so is aquarium salt gonna fix everything???


and im getting a heater as soon as i can

[BettaxFishxCrazy]

For fin rot, aquarium salt, warm water, and clean water will help fix him right up. There's no need to freak out, fins grow back.

Does it hurt him at all? (My fish doesn't have this. It's just a question that suddenly occurred to me)

[doggyhog]

Aquarium salt doesn't hurt them.

Keep him in the 1/2 gallon container with 1/2 a t spoon of salt and change the water every day. He will be healed up in no time.

BTW, are you keeping goldfish with your betta?

[bettalover2033]

actually i am keeping gold fish in the same tank with him does that hurt hum do they hurt him because i dont want them to get hurt. ok and what do they do to him to hurt him..

one time i heard that its the goldfish urine that is toxic with the betta fins. so is this true or what??

i need help i want him to heal fast and when he has fin rot and when the fins come off does it hurt him physically???

Goldfish and bettas have very very different requirements. It's not that they don't get along, it's that their care is much different. Example: bettas like temps of 76-82 degrees. Goldfish do NOT. They like cooler temps. Also, goldfish need lots and lots of filtration and bettas don't like having a heavy current in the water.
