My older betta died of fin rot. I am a little paranoid if the fins look different from the day we got him home. My question was , does he look healthy ? he is swimming , eating etc normally.

Dragon swam over to the other side of the rainbow. Thanks everyone for all your support and pointers. We have learnt a LOT about bettas in the past few weeks and hope to be better betta parents in the future. I am curious @Colin_T mentioned bettas have beards when they mature, was our betta...

His fin rot is getting worse ... Other than daily water changes, water testing and feeding 2-3 pellets, we dont know wjhat else to do :(

Thanks so much. I am also getting the water testing kit, will post the results here as soon as I have it. @Colin_T and @Deanasue , I see you respond a lot on this forum, do you have any comments or tips that can help Dragon?

I assumed he lost some of his scales there, but now it looks suspicious.. Is that whats making him sick?
