    My bettaā€™s fins are slowly thinning...

    Hello! My poor betta fish seems to be having thinning fins. Iā€™ve noticed a gradual thinning in his pectoral fins, but recently they seem to be getting worse. His dorsal and caudal fin seem to be thinning now, too. Here are some photos I took during his tank cleaning yesterday. You can see how...

    Fungus? HELP Betta wonā€™t eat and just hides all day

    Hi, this is my first post. I have a newish 125l tank which was cycled at the back end of last year. We added a new Betta to the tank last week (also in tank 10 Espeā€™s Rasboras and live plants). At first he appeared very happy and explored the tank all day. Over the last day or two we have...

    Fin rot in betta?

    I got my beta a few months ago and he seemed completely fine until about a week ago when I saw his find turning white. Iā€™ve been treating him with aquarium salt and stress coat + but he seems to be getting worse every day. Parts of his fins are falling off, but he still seems very lively and normal,

    HELP!? Is she sick???

    I bought a pair of african peacocks last week, and I just noticed the female's fins look like there may be something wrong! I'm freaking out a bit, as I've never had a sick fish before. I need some help please! I looked at some threads about fin rot, and I'm afraid this may be that. Thanks for...

    Betta - Fin Rot?

    Hi everyone, My roommates and I got a betta fish about 2 weeks ago and we're worried he might have fin rot but we're not sure if it's that, him tearing his fins, or just normal. He's had the white tips on his fins since we got him and he has a bigger split in his top fin that's improving now...

    Dwarf Gourami Fin Rot?

    I've had my fish tank for around 2-3 weeks now and the gourami for about 2 weeks. A few days ago I noticed my favorite fish has what looks like decay on his fins. It seems to be white on the tips but maybe you guys can see better in the picture. I've added a small amount of aquarium salt as I...

    Pearl Gourami- Fin Rot from tail damage?

    My Opaline decided to turn on my poor Pearl and did a number on her tail. Iā€™ve moved her to a separate tank to heal but now it seems like she is starting to get an infection on the left side. She is having a hard time swimming so I canā€™t get a good view of the left, but it definitely seemed more...

    Betta lethargic but eating regularly

    I got my Betta fish last June. He started out in a very small tank because he was an impulse buy and I was still learning but I have had him in a 2.5-gallon tank for around 7 or 8 months now. In the 11 months that I have had him, he has been a pretty active fish, however, I have been rather lazy...

    Rot or Not?

    Not sure if my betta has fin rot or if itā€™s black coloring? He has the black coloring on his gills too, so Iā€™m not sure if it is coloring or rot of some kind. Would love to know your opinions! I have 5 ghost shrimp (they get along very well) with him in his tank, so Iā€™ll have to either be very...

    Rescued betta with shredded/missing fins

    Hi everyone! Iā€™m realitively new to the fish world, however Iā€™ve done extensive research on Bettas over the past month before making the commitment to own a betta fish. Before adopting my little guy I acquired a 5.5 gallon filtered tank and a 50 watt heater. Right now Iā€™m only treating the...

    Help! Lethargic betta!!

    Hi there, I recently completed my first aquabid purchase--a gorgeous big fin koi half moon male that came from Thailand. I unboxed him Thursday evening, he wasn't dead but arrived with a good bit of his tail fin missing. I couldn't tell if it was fin rot or if he was tail nipping during...

    Hi! I'm new to this forum, so I apologize if this isn't in the right section or anything. But, I'm worried about my betta, and I think I need advice!

    how to treat stubborn fin rot?

    hello.my betta splenden has a really stubborn case of fin rot. He's had it off and on for a couple of months, I thought I managed to get rid of it by using Melafix, but due to some failures in judgement on my part he's picked it up again. He's in a 5g all alone with a heater and filter, but at...

    How Does He Look?

    Hi everyone! If you are on fishlore.com as well, you may have already seen this post, but I always love getting a variety of opinions! Here's the story: A few months ago, my sister got three bettas. Cool, except she claims she "didn't know how to clean the tanks." I only found this out after the...

    Betta's tail quickly frayed? Strange tearing and hole under a week.

    This all started when I did a partial water change on Monday night. He seemed completely fine except that he got a scratch on both sides of his face, which I have no idea where it came from. I must've been out of the room when it happened, but either way I took pre-caution and removed a plant...

    Rescue Betta and Fin Rot

    I recently bought a new betta from the dreaded Walmart. His antiseptic water had faded from bright blue to clear, he had absolutely no food, and it appeared that he has a pretty terrible case of fin rot. I've had many happy and healthy bettas and when I saw his condition it broke my heart to see...
