    Hiya, I purchased a new Betta fish 2 days ago and I could immediately tell that his top fins appeared to be a bit ripped. I’m wondering if there’s a way of telling if this is fin rot or fin nipping as he was in a very overpopulated tank with many different types of tetras and guppies when I...

    Hi everyone, Giant's mom here! I need some help from the community. Giant recently had an injury on his dorsal fin, and the next day I notice a developing red blood specks. It started as just a couple pin pricks, and so I turned off his filter (in case of injury), increased the temp just...

    Hi all I’ve had a male betta named Sylveon for a little over 7 months now. I had a filter in his tank that I’d only be able to run in short spurts during the day due to the harsh water flow that would cause him to be pressed up against the opposite side of the tank, and I had no way of buying a...

We are college students so we’ve not always been on schedule but have pretty well maintained weekly 25% water changes for our beta Swim Shady.

    My betta Valentino has developed what I believe to be fin rot in the past 3 weeks. He will be a year old this coming up Valentine's day. He is eating fine and doesn't act sick. I feed him Tetra brand Tropical flakes once a day a small pinch. He is just looking pretty bad with his tail shrinking...

    Hello! So I got my betta as a baby back in January. For a couple months I noticed his bottom fins have been ragged. I did not think much of it but it has gotten worse. I do weekly water changes, however I wonder if it is because I use RO water with some replinish by seachem. Or is it just his...

    I have had my betta for about four months and he's had fin rot three times now. I took my water to the shop, they tested it and said it's perfect, and I test it regularly to make sure it's fine. I don't put the light in my tank on bright, as I know this can bother bettas, I've even added some...

    Hi everyone. We got our first Betta fish, Ginger, 2 days ago from a local aquatics store. At first I thought he had speckles on him, but on looking closer they are actually little holes in his fins. I’ve also noticed black tips at end of his fins, which at first we thought was his colouring as...

The water parameters are perfect and nothing seems to be wrong with the actual water or tank itself i have already filled out the questions on my other...

    Hi everyone, I've had my bettas for about two weeks now and they're all doing really well! Great advice on the heater from y'all; it really makes a difference in their personality and energy levels! It's made me prioritize 5 gal tanks for each of them as soon as I have the money. My Halfmoon...

    Hey everyone! Wanted to know what you all think of eSHa 2000. I bought it from my local fish store and the owner, who I'm good friends with, recommends it. He doses all his tanks with it weekly as a preventative measure and uses said it'll be perfect for my betta with fin rot! I've been...

    My betta fish Martha has some tears in her fins, but i don't know if it's fin rot, or just wear and tear. Her activity levels are high and she's taking food like normal, but the blackened areas around the base of her tail concern me. That being said, i don't know if her fins are black because of...

    Hello fishy friends, This is my first time posting on a fish care related forum since I got my betta guy around 3 weeks ago. I sense that he has a beginning/ moderate stage of fin rot. I am really new to fish care, so I can’t tell how worried should I be about his current condition and what...
