Betta Fish Fin Rot Treatment

[@MorphedWombat]

So I purchased a female veitali betta from pet smart had short fins in the cup beautiful fish. Anyways i got it because I heard long fin bettas have some issues and I’m new to the hobby. My betta is in a 5 gallon tank and now her fins are double the size and grew. Is that normal? I think it looks great but if something sounds off definitely let me know!

[@aquadiaryofficial]

Yes, it’s normal to get fins grow once they are in healthy tank environment compare to petstore cups. Sometimes, fins looks small when betta in stress at petstore. Great to hear your betta is happy in his tank. always watchout for tank environment quality as pointed in this video. Happy pet keeping! Thanks for your comment.

Oh my god… I thought my fish had fin rot but he actually just has a crown tail

[@aquadiaryofficial]

LOL! You have to be happy about it. 😅

Hello! I had 4 tetras and 1 betta in 8L of water. 4 days back I spotted ich on them and treated them with methylene blue and rock salt. But soon I started to notice betta was not at all active and some tiny bits of it's fins were falling away. I immediately shifted it to a different tank and added some rock salt and methylene blue drops. It's quite small (the tank), 1L maybe?Now all the white spots are gone but still it's fins are falling away. What should I do? I feed it 5 pellets a day at the same time but it's eating only one 😢 what do I doooo? 😞

[@aquadiaryofficial]

If white spots are reduced, he getting naturally heeling. Give him couple of days and stop using salt

[@tiffanyclark-grove1989]

it is very very helpful that you differentiate the fungal versus the bacterial Fin rot, because that is an important distinction when you decide what to use for treatment

[@aquadiaryofficial]

Exactly! Glad you find it helpful. 🙏❤️❤️

[@tbs4ever64420]

Hey was gifted what I thought was a crown tail betta. Never owned a fish before, so water was not cycled and only in a 7L tank. The person who got the fish visited and informed me the fin looked bad and it used to be much fuller although they can't recall the species. Kinda made it out it was more of a combtail or delta, I can't see any signs of fin rot. No coloured spots and it eats, swims like it always had, Do regular checks on the water parameters (3 to 4 days) and levels are all good aside from couple Nitrate level spikes due to over feeding (i think) now only feed once a day 6 pellets and Nitrate is sitting 0-5ppm. Sorry for big winded comment but would treating it with fin rot if it doesnt have it cause any problems, other than salt treatment what else could I do? The tank would be almost 2 months old now, so water should be almost cycled right?

[@aquadiaryofficial]

Thanks for your detailed comment. 2 months is long for 7L tank, I would recommend for water change unless it’s heavily planted tank. Crowntail are unique breed, you can easily spot the differences. Check below videos to know crowntail, identifying and treating fin damage. Hope it helps! kzbin.info/www/bejne/mpXLhoSqgJyAqKs kzbin.info/www/bejne/eIrCgKKphKdgqNU

Update on your fish?

[@allisoncolla]

Do not feed your betta fish twice a day!!

[@aquadiaryofficial]

Why?

[@hyschara]

It depends on how much you feed them

[@ManojKumar-qn7fb]

Finrot was cured but.. after it recovered it died without food consumption.. water change was done after treatment.. what could it be.. bettas with biger fins are not high life span or should we keep in medicacine all the time.. kindly suggest

[@aquadiaryofficial]

Food consumption is different issue to hadle.. he must eat all the time even on treatment. It’s hard to tell what went wrong for me without pictures or clarity on tank setup. RIP 😕

[@llllllllllilillii]

1:43 and who the f feeds their bAYtas that much food? seriously.

My pleasure! Glad we could help you. Thanks for your generous comment.

[@CraftedMagma]

Hello, how long does it take to heal fin rot?

[@aquadiaryofficial]

Thanks for commenting. usually, you should see an improvements within a week. But full recovery time is depends on how bad betta tail is impacted.

[@veronikapark4429]

I put two mail betta and they fight one of my betta is badly injured he lot him tail what to do

[@aquadiaryofficial]

Unfortunate hear. Plan on recovery, treat with aquarium salt, almond leaves for faster recovery. You can keep the water level low, so its easy to take air gulb.Try aquarium salt (amzn.to/3OCTZaH) bath for few days. If that doesn't improve, use mehylane blue (amzn.to/4459L44) and almond leaves amzn.to/43prqnC But these options for faster and healthy recovery. 1. Soak there food in garlic or try garlic guard (amzn.to/47uWKUj) 2. Vita chem (amzn.to/3OWOpl7), great source of vitamins. soak on food and put directly in the tank. 3. Try fish protector(amzn.to/3qpU5e2) is what I would recommand as a stronger stress guard. Hope you find it useful. Goodluck with your betta treatment and care!

[@prateeksahoo2939]

Thanks for the video but say me whether the salt to be mixed with water !! For how much time shall i keep the fish in it ?.

[@prateeksahoo2939]

Again can i contact you as ia am new i shall send u the videos then you may suggest me better !! I have the video when i bought my betta and todays video you may analyze better !! And please help me saving my betta

[@aquadiaryofficial]

Pinch of salt per gallon of water is the proportion. You should keep your 4 days, change 90% water daily.

[@aquadiaryofficial]

Please post video at FB Tamil aqua group to help. Also you can post in insta by tagging #tamilaquadiary. Hope he will be better soon. Sorry for late reply.

[@llllllllllilillii]

@@aquadiaryofficial NEVER EVER change 90 percent of water.

[@anoobis_]

Mine has a tiny hole on his tail which is close to his caudal peduncle its giving me anxiety since its closer to his body

[@aquadiaryofficial]

This can happen generally for 2 reasons. 1. Bacterial infection, check any another signs at edges of tail. If nothing else, its good sign. 2. betta May be flaring too much.. if you see that is happening against any tank decoration or other betta… try reducing that… so it will auto recover. 👍👍

[@ashchase1548]

If I do a water change how much salt do I add back?

[@aquadiaryofficial]

Excellent question. 1 spoon for every 3 gallons. But if you are changing 50% water, add salt accordingly

[@bnato8209]

My betta has a few millimeters maybe 3-4 millimeters of clear fins and I cant tell if this is just growing fins because he is a juvenile or he has fin rot. Any suggestions? Thank you

Hi! I know you aren’t a vet but I have a 1 1/2 year old betta and he’s not doing too well…. He’s sitting at the bottom of the tank, he looks a lot smaller, he isn’t eating as much. I just dont know what to do and it’s making me really upset. Should I do a water change?! To me it looks a bit like fin rot bc his fins look a lot different. Also his water isn’t looking that great either. I just did a test. He’s not looking too great Thank you!

[@aquadiaryofficial]

Sad to hear! I can give a try. Can you help me with your tank size, have filter & heater setup? Is he always in bottom?

[@MyMiniZoo]

@@aquadiaryofficial he’s usually never in the bottom. He’s usually at the middle. I have a filter that I something turn on. His tank it like 3 gallons or so. No heater. He’s kinda on his side rn

@@aquadiaryofficial unfortunately he just passed away :( thank you for trying to help 💕

[@emanfakhreddine222]

@@MyMiniZoo hey next time u get a beta get him a fish tank that’s 5 gallons or more and check you ammonia levels in the water. You should also watch videos on KZbin about setting up a beta tank. Sorry about your fish, hopefully I helped😊

[@sarahsmedley8423]

Is there a Homemade cure for fin rot?

[@aquadiaryofficial]

Non iodine salt (aquarium salt) works better. Move to smaller tank and change water daily basis for a week.

Hi I am female Betta fish community with tetra, cory. However my tetra and Cory seem all perfectly active but betta from 5 and slowly die 1 by 1 after few days . There is patches seem grey , fin rotting away and patches getting larger and discolor… is it fin rot or ?

[@aquadiaryofficial]

I’m kind of lost with your comment. Do you mean, you had 5 betta fishes or it’s including your tetra and Cory?

[@hobisprite7]

Hii, I got my betta fish from a pet store he was healthy when I bought but after a week or so he started developing fin rot as this way my time having my betta I didnt really see what was happening to him until it progressed. His fins are almost damaged but he is active. I have a pot of 6 litre without filter and heater capacity and I change water once a week and add indian badam leaf to it for maintiang the pH. I bought paracidol fw in hoping to treat the fin rot but dont know how to use it. Can you please help?

[@aquadiaryofficial]

It’s primarily for parasite infections. You got to know, what causes finrot. Usage is simple. Add tablespoon of it(based on your tank size, follow directions in bottle), repeat the steps every other day by changing 50% of water.

[@Sanjay-uv7ns]

My betta is having white colour on pectoral fin how can I treat it,will it grow back

Are you seeing like white fungus?

My male betta was totally fine and healthy bur right after I purchased female and put with in a tank for making since male was creating bubbles in the water so after that male bettas fin started rotting so what to do now?

[@aquadiaryofficial]

Have you notice female biting him? What size is the tank?

[@blondiex3308]

My Betta is having reocurring finrot. I can't figure out what it is, I treat the tank with antibiotics and aquarium salt. He heals. Then about 2 months later it happens again. I think I need to clean the tank with boiling water or something (of course with my Betta out)

[@aquadiaryofficial]

Yes, if finrot getting better and coming back… mostly because of tank. Once fish showing recover signs… you need wash tank, gravels, filter, all decorations in hot water to make sure they are clean.

[@Celinethatgirl]

i did all of the things you said but my fish isn't geting better i change the water everyday medicence for finrot ,aquarium salt but he's just geting worse? my tank was cylced before he was in it. my tank is 6.5 gallon but his hospital thank is 1 gallon

[@aquadiaryofficial]

Sad to hear! How many days you were tried? Do you know, how old is betta by chance. Get chance to check water quality?

[@Celinethatgirl]

@@aquadiaryofficial i did check the water quality is good i chage his water every week when he had a 6 gallon rn i change it everyday he is 1 year and 4 months old . ive been trying to treat his finrot for almost 4 months. i've tried every medicine for fin rot but it never works he is very active but his fins got very bad
