I am pretty sure my betta has fin rot since one fin has pretty much disintegrated. He seemed perfectly normal Saturday night summing around and eating but Sunday morning was a different story. I woke up to him favouring one of his fins and when I got a good look it was pretty much gone. I...

Hi everyone! I'm afraid my betta is dying. He has fin rot and I can't stop it with medicines. I'm not able to do a proper cycling of the tank. Now he is in a little tank (less than 1 litre) until he recovers. Now he has all his body covered with a red/brown coloration, like burnt (and his...

My delta-tail Betta splenden has a fin disease I cannot get rid of! Please help if you can, its driving me crazy, and now I've even got recurring nightmares of losing the fish! :sad: HOW IT HAPPENED: Before this splenden there was another. Maskil. A few months after bringing him home from...

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...

So i recently went on vacation for just over a week and left my betta in the care of my family. When i returned my mom said she just cleaned the tank. Meaning it had not been cleaned in over a week. I went to go look and my mother had thrown out all of my gravel and my mossball because it...

Hi! I'm new to owning bettas but recently my betta's fins have looked raggedy. I'm scared he may have fin rot, could somebody help me confirm if this is true? Here are some photos- http://s166.photobucket.com/user/nunnythebunny/library/?view=recent Thank you so much for your help :) I'd...

I have a betta named Monkey, short for Mungkon (the Thai word for Dragon because he came from Thailand even though he's not a Dragon betta), and he has a SEVERE case of fin rot. He's a pet store bought fish, and he had minimal fin rot when I got him even though I didn't know it (I was a newbie...

I need to know if my Berta Lamar has fit rot. He's really active and is quite the piggy. He used to have a pretty full tail but it's all different now. Help please? He lives in a gallon tank but it has air and a light. He's always is at a good temp. Right now he is at 78 degrees.

Ive had my betta in a 5.5 gallon tank for about 3/4 weeks now. Hes enjoyed it so much more than his bowl in the past! the tank itself has been cycling for about 6 weeks now. 2 days ago while preforming a 50% water chance, my betta chewed of a bit of his caudal fin. (HE chewed it because he was...

I thought the tail just ripped from the plants or decoration, but its getting worse each day.... So im guessing its fin rot. Can anyone tell me the easiest or cheapest way to make my betta fish full health again? :cry:

Yesterday(last night) I checked on my betta fish on how he is doing in his new led aqueon betta bow tank 2.5gallon. He is doing perfect with a healthy body and tail! The next morning i found his tail got ripped...... Was it cause of fin rot or my decorations/plants??? The filter is no problem as...

Hi I'm new to fish keeping so please be kind. I've had my first Betta, Dexter, for about a month now. I cycled his tank before I got him etc. However he has fin rot, or so I think, his tail has gone all ragged and is getting shorter. He is kept in a 5gallon tank with heater 78℉ and a filter, he...

Hello! I've been keeping track of my betta ever since he started getting a white-ish fuzzy film around his fins. I got some aquarium salt and started putting the recommended amount in the water every time that I did a water change and the film went away. Now his fins are growing more and more...

I'm going on vacation in 2 days and having a roommate watch my betta (I don't want to give her too much to do though since she's never had a fish...). I would prefer to leave it here then have to drive 3 hours there and back with my betta, just in case. Anyway, I was looking at him the other...

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...

Ok so I'm somewhat new to caring for a betta. I had one years ago and it lived for about 5 months. I bought another about a month ago and within two days it developed columnaris so I took it back to the pet store and traded it out for another one. And now I have Kalamari, he's been living for a...

I got my dark red betta fish about two months ago. I started to suspect he had fin rot, and managed to get medicine for treatment two weeks ago. He has a larger tank with plants and a heat lamp, but I've quarantined him into a smaller tank for the duration of the treatment (until his fin gets...

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...
