Okay I caught him in the act of bitting it so I'm sure he's nipping his own tail. There are also pieces of his tail on the bottom of his tank now, easy to see now that I got rid of the gravel. I have no idea what could trigger it. I looked up all the possible reasons.. so.. I stopped using the...

Hmmm.. well I have never heard of bettas nipping themselves, but this is my first time having bettas. Is there anything I can do about it? Should I just kill him?

From my own personal experience, don't buy fish at walmart. That way you avoid buying sick ones to begin with

I let my bettas flare 25min to an hour a day. Sometimes I forget about them because all I have to do is remove a small piece of paper in between their tanks to let them flare. One of my bettas however sometimes even flares at me, or even when I put my finger up against his tank.

I woke up at 4am because I couldn't sleep on tuesday morning.. I got up and when I glanced over half of my betta's tail was missing!!! He was fine before I went to bed so in just 5 hours half his tail was gone. I gave him fungus cure and triple sulfa. I changed his water completely tuesday nigh...

Thank you for all the advice so far :). I bought aquarisol from the petstore, and let me tell you their bettas looked horrible. They had one huge tank with dividers One had just the head left and this lobster-crab looking thing was eatting it from outside of its divider.. it made me sick to my...

I called walmart and they gave me the phone number for a fish store. Turns out it's in the "mall". It's a broken down plaza with half the stores empty and closed. I usually would never be found shopping in places like that but I guess it's for the fish. I called them and they said they have...

I'm pretty sure it's nothing in the tank that made it sick. I just got this betta on monday and everything in the tank is brand new. I have no live plants in it. I'm pretty sure the fish was already sick when I got it (Thanks Walmart). I actually go to school in a hell hole part of west virginia...

That's what they had at walmart. I'm very limited to walmart supplies because I'm not familiar with the state I go to school in and the closest pet store I've heard of is pretty far away >_<. What do you recommend I use instead?

My betta's gills seem brownish grayish, but when I shine my lamp directly on him they have gold sparkly lines. Out of my two new bettas he's the one that doesn't swim as much as the other and his fins are down most of the time. Is using http://www.uskoi.com/betta_revive.htm enough? Or should I...

Thank you I was getting so worried :D. I took some pictures, sorry about the quality but all I have is my cell phone. There's also a picture of the set up I have them in on my desk so tell me if I'm doing something wrong. I can't get bigger tanks for them though because these are all that will...

I got two bettas on monday, I have never owned any other kind of fish before.. So I bought a double little tank for them. My red one flared but my blue-orange one wouldn't. on tuesday I went out and got another tank in which I put in aquarium salt, bottled water, equlizer, and betta first aid...
