Ok you might remember how I said Mijots fin was suddenly all clamed and folded last week.
( http://www.fishforums.net/index.php?showtopic=261765&hl= )

Well it continued to get worse, and then yesterday , after not studing him for a couple of days , I noticed something...

His main caudal fin was slightly shorter, and about 90% of all the clapmed and folded parts were gone!
His anal and dorsal fin are still slightly folded, but ill just continue with the large waterchanges.

SO should I be worry if this is like fin rot or something? Or does this happen normaly if a fin gets to messed up to funcion?
His tail is about 4/5 as long as it used to be, it sorta looks like its stretched and seperated a little at the ends.

Ill get pictures up soon..
 
I do hope one of the resident betta experts will come in and comment on this soon...
 
We had a VT a while ago that suffered from clamped fins. Once they started to unclamp they were quite like you described and also had some small holes near the ends too. Just keep doing what you're doing and keep his water nice a clean. Also by holding up a mirror to him a couple of times a day (just for 10 mins each time) this will help him to excercise his fins and hopefully the rest with start to unclamp. It can take a while for them to get back to normal, so patience is the key :good:
