My betta had what I'm guessing was fin rot a while ago. The tips of his fins were turning black and falling off. I followed advice and treated him with epsom baths and kept his water super clean.
He seemed to recover, and I figured it was a matter of time for regrowth.
In the meantime the tips of his fins started to curl a little (he's a crowntail). I was advised to get his water temperature up (it was stuck around 75 and now it's at 80) and get him more space and exercise (also done).
His fins are not turning black or red or white, but they look shriveled and curled. He's not what I'd call listless really, but he does just sorta appear to be floating near the top of the water a lot (nothing topsy turvy).
His water is clean. He's eating and pooping regularly. He's in a 2-gallon hospital tank while I cycle my 6-gallon tank, but that shouldn't be so small it causes problems, right?
Please please help--any suggestions will be much appreciated!
