I'm so excited to have figured this out! (I hope) I posted a few weeks back about my betta's tail, I couldn't figure out if he had fin rot or was biting his tail. Well, I think he was biting his tail, here's why: his tail would be all shredded and then it would heal, then the day after it was all better it would be all shredded again. I ended up doing a 100% water change and decided put in a different filter. There's less water movement with the new filter, and he's been able to build a bubble nest. Since I put in the new filter his tail has been fine!
Has anyone ever had this happen before?? It's like he was depressed he couldn't build a bubble nest and bit his tail. Anyway, I'm glad he's doing better now.

Hmm, my guess is that the current just stressed him out... glad you figured it out and solved the problem!

Yeah, he may have also felt that his tail was causing him to get pushed around by the current. Glad he is better now!
