clamped

What's up fishtank people, I bought/rescued a new betta yesterday. We named him Lucky Kamikaze because we found him sitting in the betta tank system's large filtration system at the LFS. We thought he was dead, his poor little body was stuck in the cotton wad-like stuff, but when I poked the...

I swear my fish respond to 8hz alpha music. (youtube "binaural music" or "spa music"). I just stumbled upon this a few days ago so I'm not sure which type works best but it's worth a try. I've had 4 fish respond really positively to https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4xdw6Sve2Jk. One that had...

Hello! I brought home an EE delta male a couple days ago. Normally, my boys settle in rather quickly and are at least exploring by day two. This guy has the same water parameters and conditions as my other guy, but lays motionless clamped and breathing heavily. If he swims it's darting quickly...

So I received a male halfmoon betta but his fins are in horrible condition and it seems as if he's not getting any better. I've kept him in quarantine forever. About a few months now but he's very lethargic and doesn't move. He also clamps his fins a lot. ): I've kept his 2.5 quarantine tank...

Hello, My sister recently gave me a betta fish. She was told they would be okay in a small bowl and in relatively cold (not heated) water. I now know this is obviously not true. I have gotten a larger heated tank (I'm planning on having some other fish also), and it arrives today, but I'm...

My betta has white fuzz on his body, face, and fins. I got him almost 2 days ago. What do I do to save him? I had a betta fish a few years ago, but I'm now re-entering the world of bettas. So I am still learning. He is in a .5 gallon tank, with new water added one day ago. It is distilled...

Hello, So I got a male betta about three weeks ago. For the first fews days he was pretty scared and obviously stressed, darting behind his ornaments every time anyone in the room moved. But then I guess he got used to us and by the second week he was doing beautifully, relaxed fins spread out...

So I've basically been obsessing over my new baby beta, Rittz (after the rapper) haha, but I call him Rittztopher, or sometimes Rittz cracker. :-D anyway, for about a day now he's been being kinda weird… not his personality, but the way he's been swimming. his pretty fins haven't been flaring...

Hello everyone, My boy, Mr. Fish, hasn't been feeling well for a little over a week now. He was sick back in August, I actually posted a thread about him but didn't have any help. I just didn't give up on him and kept trying different methods. I stuck with aquarium salt and that helped him, to...

I had a veiltail betta for 3-4 years who died unexpectedly about a month ago, and I missed having a betta so I got a new half-moon male betta about 2 weeks ago from Petsmart. I'm not sure how old he is but I assume he's still young, I'm also not sure how much more he will grow. We named him Haku...

Hey! I'm new to these forums, and I'm currently caring for my second betta... I had my first one for about 3 years (he came from Walmart so I imagine he was already between 6 mo.s to a year when I got him)... I have had my second one, Ruuti, for about a month now, and I notice that he has...

Hi guys! I'm new to this site and new to owning a betta fish. I just recently bought a VT betta fish about three days ago and I have a few questions regarding clamped fins. My betta seems to be bored quite often and he usually swims with fins that aren't always open, however when he flares he...

I have a 5g tank, heater and filter. Is this fin rot, clamping or something else? If so what should I do? I have already changed the water about 80% and added bettafix. I have 2 coreydoras as well, so salts are not an option. He has been hiding inside a cave frequently, which is unusual for him...

Please help! My betta was fine just yesterday, but today, he sits at the bottom of the tank and doesn't move. His fins are clamped and he refuses to eat and breathes very rapidly. I think his color is even duller. I have no idea what's going on. Please help! Housing What size is your tank? 5.5...

Hi everyone. I'm hoping someone might be able to point me in the right direction. A little over 2 months ago I acquired 2 bettas (Bubbles and Wiggy) I have them both in separate 1 gallon bowls and I change their water every few days (I use water conditioner) The both of them seem to be doing...

Hi there! I have a female HM betta..she's jumped out from the tank when I was at the outside of the house. When I arrived home she was laying on the table, still breathing, then I quickly moved her into her tank. Quickly gave Fish Salt, and gave some Rid-All General Aid medicine. her condition...

Ok so I posted this problem recently before but it did not get answered so here goes again. My delta tail male, Spud, has a problem. I think his fins are shrinking! They are a tinge of red at the tips and there is a clean peice missing. It looks like it has regrowth (clear fins), but it has been...

Hi everyone, I noticed Shigeru's gotten a grey belly, he's bloated, his eyes seem to have swollen up a bit as well around the rims, and he's clampy. This sounds like early dropsy (thankfully he has not pineconed). On top of that, he's also chronically constipated. What is your general consensus...
