My little boy, Baby has been with me for almost a year now. However last November I noticed he started getting tail rot. I did way more research into it and bought Seachem Prime, a good filter and some more tank decor so he wouldn't be bored as I was a complete newbie before that and didn't...

Hi there, I'm brand new here, I came from fishlore.com which seems to have disappeared overnight, very strange. Anyway - hoping y'all can help me save my beloved betta Simon. Here's the fish disease/emergency form below, but first in a nutshell: I have a 20g divided betta tank, each betta...

Hi guys, I got Alpha as a Christmas gift last year when he was a baby. Now he's fully grown but since two weeks ago, he started to suffer from tail rot. I've tried tea tree oil but it didn't seem to work. Now his tail looks really ragged and he stays at the bottom of the tank. Please give any...

Hi guys, I got Alpha as a Christmas gift last year. She was a baby girl when I got her and was mostly black with a little bit of red on her fins. Now she's red and blue and is very active, but I've recently noticed that the tip of her tail is translucent and seems a little tattered. She eats...

Recently got a yellow halfmoon betta fish with a ripped tail, however that area is regrowing now. I just noticed now that there's little rips along the edge of his tail and those weren't there before. Is he biting his tail or is it fin rot? Housing: How many gallons is your tank? 2.5 Does it...

My male butterfly betta is acting a bit unusual, and his fins have receded greatly this past month. He darts around his tank, occasionally digs into his gravel, and does not make bubble nests. I was thinking fin rot or tail biting, but I'm not sure. No matter what it is though, I'd like to find...

In early November my Betta ripped his tail on a sharp plant (I removed it right away and replaced it with a safe one) and he was fine except the injury got infected with a very aggressive tail rot. I treated with Maracyn-2 and the tail rot went away for about a month. His tail was healing very...

I got a betta fish and an aquaponics tank for Christmas, and I've kept him alive so far, but I've never had a fish before, and I need a little help. The aquaponics tank instructions advertise that with the plants, I never have to clean the tank or change out the water. Over the past week or so...

I've never posted here but did on another and got no feedback and even paid for the expert advice. My Betta "Spastic" is in a very advanced stage of fin/tail rot. I thought he had died yesterday as he was laying at the bottom of the tank. I've tried everything but will say that I've learned...

I put Pakoh in a 1 gallon tank with half the dose of Bettafix (people say it's effective at a lower dose) and a full teaspoon of aquarium salt. The damaged occurred after only one night in his new tank (a five gallon with a filter and heater). I made sure the tank was cycled beforehand. I'm...

My betta is missing some of his tail, is it tail rot? What can I do?

Hi all, I'm new here. It's been a year or two since I've kept a Betta (I've had two before and my husband has kept a couple as well) and a week ago I bought a new one. The problem: Two days ago I thought perhaps his tail was degenerating, but wasn't sure. Yesterday I was more sure and did a...

I got my betta on fri. An hour after putting him in the tank he stated swimming around jerkily. on sat i notice his fins and tail are frayed. Googled, placed him in and isolation bowl and added 1tsp AQ salt. Sunday more bits of his tail and fins went missing. so added 2tsp AQ salt. monday his...

Otay so I think my red CT Sheeran has fin rot. I just noticed this today since I finally got him to flare for the mirror again. I have some Malafix that worked for Lucifer's mild fin rot after one dose a few months ago, but should I switch to AQ Salt? I have a QT I'm about to set up but the back...

Alright so around two weeks ago, I noticed that my fish's tail started to look raggedy and split. I thought it was because of the plastic plant I had in his tank and I was planning on buying him a new one, even though he's been living with the plastic one fine for probably about a year now. It...

I purchased my betta, sulu, at petco a little while ago and have now been treating him for fin and tail rot for about 3 weeks. He was labeled as a female and was not in very good condition. For the time he has been with me he has been living in a one gallon tank with daily 100% water changes to...

I bought my betta, Charles, about 3 weeks ago, and he had a very mild case of fin rot. I thought I could save him, but maybe I was wrong. :-? When I bought him, it was upstate New York. However, I live in New York City. He survived the four hour car drive ( I wasn't expecting him to have to come...
