fin

Has anyone ever seen any color change like this in a betta??! I've had my betta for almost two months now. He seems really healthy. He is always actively exploring his 5 gallon planted tank and is fed twice a day except on his fasting day. Over the last two weeks I noticed his anal fins turning...

Disclaimer: I know the tank is too small and he should have a heater, but I’m a broke college student and no one else wanted him, so I’m doing the best I can with what I’ve got. Symptoms and Treatment: Photos at the bottom. I rescued this fish from my brother, who’d kept it in the tiny plastic...

I recently put my betta Merik in a 5 gallon fluval spec aquarium. It’s great, he loves it- I’ve read a million reviews on how this tank is great for bettas. I also read reviews from people talking about how their bettas love to suction themselves to the grate where the filter is - the setting...

Hello! Would like advise to whether I should pull this betta or not. The sorority has only been together 3 days or so. She definitely has some decent sized fin nips and was being bullied the first couple days and I was about to pull her, but then today I actually saw her flaring when aggressed...

STORY Hi everyone, I have a 1 and a half year old male betta named Moonstone who keeps getting shredded fins. About 1 month after I bought Moon, I noticed that his back fins had slight ripping. At first I believed it was his log hide that was causing the tears. The hide was artificial and was a...

I've had my betta spot for 6 weeks. After week one i noticed that his top, bottom and front fins were being to curl. I thought it might be fin rot so I got him some IAL and began water changes every other day. Still got worse, so I began adding very small amounts of aquarium salt. Still got...

My poor betta's fins have been all tattered up for almost a month now :( I immediately began doing water changes every 1-2 weeks and treating the tank with aquarium salt since I read up on it being good for preventing pretty much every illness. I've been adding aquarium salt every other day now...

My male betta Huojin has been struggling with fin melt since a little after I bought him in Nov 2015. What I've been doing is taking his filter out then dosing him with melafix until his clearish edges kind of heal up. (Yes, I have recently become aware that Melafix can damage betta's...

Can someone explain to me why a half moons' fins could potentially curl? Is there a way to fix it? I believe my betta fish as little curls that are forming at the end of his tail..but I am not sure. I will later on place a photo of him. Water parameters are normal, he lives in a 1.5 tetra...

A few months ago: Today: Okay, so, my betta, Henry, has fins that have been looking a bit different lately. There was an accident that happened a while ago (he fell to the bottom of the tank right after I tried putting him back into his tank), which left his fins looking a little thinner...
