Fin Nipping

My delta, Tyco, really seems to enjoy eating himself. I had been forewarned of this, but...now what can I do to make him stop? Thanks!

Have a quick look at this link to give you a better idea of whether he is fin nipping or not.

Thanks a bunch Stang.

 

[stang1]

No problem, just hope it helps!

 

[knt5005]

Yeah, it did. I don't see anything he would have rubbed against. I'm pretty sure he's biting though because Zafirah told me he did when I adopted him. He's just weird.

Bless him!
You'll have to keep us posted on how he's doing, I'll be keeping my fingers crossed for you.

 

[Zafirah]

he did that with me too. His tail used to be almost halfmoon. But, now you can see he has chewed it down. You could try switching his food. I used to feed Betta Bites. But, switched my food to Omega One Betta Buffet Flakes and 2 of my males stopped chewing. One of them was tyco. So maybe try that

Haha, "Betta Buffet?" Man, these little guys are spoiled!!! Thanks Zaf, I'll have to see if my lfs has it. Otherwise...I'll order some

 

[Zafirah]

Yeh they should have it. If they don't you could order it like you said or i could ship you some. Im thinking of seeing if i can buy it in bulk. Its a painb in the butt to buy a new bottle every 3 weeks

Thanks! I'll let you know if I can find it out here or not.
