he definitely is enjoying himself considering one of my guppies dropped her fry while I ran errands - I am sure he had a feast because when I got home there were only 2 left in the tank (that I could find)
As to a question Just_Another_One asked - in one of those stupid 1/2 gallon betta bowls!!! She asked me if I wanted it and I said heck no! I wouldnt even keep fry or and ADF in one of those!

Bad News!!!
I came home today to find that half of Neptunes fins had been ripped off!! The poor guy - so now he is living in the 3 gallon fry tank and the fry are floating in a large breeder box. (the fry are at most 2 weeks old tomorrow so it is not too cramped and they have plenty of water flow through the 35 gallon tank they are floating in
Is there anything I can do to help Neptune's fins heal / make him feel better?

water changes!
dont add meds. 90% of the time water changes are all thats needed. feed him as normal but add afew extra meaty treats here and there.
he is a gorgeous spade tail. never seen one where i live.
clean clean water is the KEY!!!!
cheers

Oh nooooo Neptune Poor guy
like lorax said keeping the water extra clean is the best remedy for loss of fins either from nipping or fin rot. I often add some aquarium salt to prevent infection as well. It seems to help heal better.
If you keep the water extra clean you should see new growth in a week and before you know it he will be good as new with his beautiful fins back

Clean water is the best healing medication around. Cheapest as well.
