Tail Rot?
 |
Help! My betta fish Flo died, (don’t know why, I think just because of old age) so I got a new betta. He looks almost exactly the same but a little smaller. His name is Bo. He was fine for a while, but then all of a sudden his tail looked like it was just decreasing, and chunks of it were falling off. It was like a zig zag, it just looked like it was rotting. So I looked it up online and found a thing called tail rot. We thought that was it, so we called the store where I got my betta. The store owner said that she had never heard of tail rot on betta’s before, and she thinks it was because of my plant. So we took the plant out, but it still isn’t getting any better! I clean her tank every two days, and I don’t use soap. Does anyone know what’s wrong?????????
P.S. Sorry I haven’t written in a while. I have been so busy! And I just got a new computer and I lost the betta website. Sorry!

My fish had that same problem too but it is fin rot. You can get medication for it at a pet store or walmart. My beta, Ziggy, didnt have a filter so I would recommend getting a filter too. Since I’ve been giving him the meds and adding a filter and also a softer plant, he is a lot more happier and the fin rot is going away. I hope this works for you betta too!

just a little bit of aquarium salt can be a gentle way to help fin rot
