Hi, betta friends!
I've had my fish, Leopold, for a little over a month, and we've been through 4 water changes together.
This last time, however, I think Leo ran into something or got caught in the net funny when I was trying to scoop him up, and hurt his fin.
His poor little left ventral fin now is sort of... broken. He can still move it in and out away from/close into his body, but sometimes it just sort of seems to get caught fluttering out by his side, sort of perpendicular to his body. It definitely didn't do this before.
Is there anything I can do for him? I feel so bad.
Furthermore, any tips on removing fish from their tanks for cleaning in a more gentle and/or successful way? He HATES being taken out of his tank.
