Hi Everyone, I have a blue and red male crown tail who is around 1 year old. He has had damaged fins for a while and I have struggled to find out what it is so I can treat it accordingly. His fins are ragged and fraying. The tips of the fins are black and kind of split. He doesn't seem to mind...

Long story short, I got my betta, Blushi, about 4 months ago and I kept him in a bowl. It seemed like he was unhappy so I moved him into a 10g filtered tank. I had no knowledge of the nitrogen cycle then before it was too late and I saw he had developed fin rot presumably from ammonia toxicity...

Hi so at first I thought my male veil tail was biting his fins because overnight his fins were ripped up and a good chunk of his tail was missing. Now the tips of his fins are starting to turn red. I can't tell if its fin rot or septicemia. I added some aquarium salt. I have him in a 10 gallon...

My friend recently noticed that a picture I had uploaded of my betta from a few MONTHS ago was significantly different than the way he looks now... his fins are pretty shredded. I kept thinking I was noticing this, but it's been happening so gradually that I kept just thinking I wasn't...

I have a sorority with 5 female bettas in a 15 gallon tank. I put the fish in last week and they all get along no problem but I've noticed that 2 of them recently have fin damage. I put in API Betta Fix for the time being. Should I put the fish with fin damage in a separate tank until they heal...

Ok, so a couple weeks ago I thought my fish had fin rot but a few members told me it was fin regrowth however this week it has gotten worse and I'm almost certain it is fin rot. I have moved my fish to his emergency tank (11/9/13) which is 3 gallons and heated at 78 degrees (he was in a 10...

Hi, I've had my baby betta since March. She was always active with a massive appetite. I keep her in a 1 gallon tank, no filter but I do 25% water changes every couple of days and clean out any debris daily. There are no plants or gravel in the tank, just a few marbles. I went from feeding her...

I'm almost certain that my betta fish has fin rot. I currently have two bettas in one bowl with a divider. Only one has fin rot. Javert, the other fish, seems happier than ever. Enjy, however, seems to be feeling very poorly. Now, I've been researching how to cure fin rot and I think I know what...

Well, I’m having another problem with a betta. Today when I was doing a water change I noticed the edge of my betta’s dorsal fin was ragged and dark. I put aquarium salt into the new water, but around two hours later his fin looked worse and now a rather large piece is hanging off. The edge is...
