Betta Fish Fin Rot Symptoms & Treatment
Like 3 Dislike 0 Published on 11 Jun 2019
Aquarium Betta Fish fin Rot is due to their immune system being weakened. I go over fin Rot symptoms and treatment. This question is always a huge topic in our group. I advise using aquarium salt to help your Betta. Here is a link:

He’s so freakin adorable and looks like a youngster and you might want to bing that little bamboo to the surface some it looks cool but it will die fully submerged like that just need to let the leafs out of the water. thank you I’m actually experimenting with that bamboo. I have one planted in soil in the garden, and this one has been submerged. The left side was back in May 1st when it was first planted in my goldfish tank. Then I moved it here. It actually grew which amazes me. And the growth rate is actually the same as the one in soil. I’m waiting to see what it will do next. If there’s sign of it wilting then I’m moving it out.
Oh gosh I was doing a water change yesterday or the day before and I extended it that day was well the siphon. Walked away for not even 2 secs to grab the spaghetti strainer and the conditioned bottles of water, find my female platy swimming like shes never swam before in the siphon tube trying to get out got her out immediately, she was near the end of the tube thank goodness but I was cracking up basically picturing this picture on her face as shes trying to get out of the siphon tube. She's okay just looked at me afterwards like what in haberdashery just happened to me.
I used to have black substrate so I didn't see my julii corydora when I put the siphon down and he got sucked up a little bit but I think when I put it down I crushed one of his back fins. He swam funky for days -- I thought he was a goner but he pulled through and now swims normally again! I have white substrate now so that won't happen again, but he was the only fish that didn't run away from the siphon.
My goldfish move away from the siphon as soon as it's in the tank. Same for the Betta. Now my grandmother's glofish on the other hand "huur duur what's this?" And swim around it while I'm cleaning. I’m the guy who sucked up a betta syphoning...scared the crap out of me...did some temporary damage, but that was 5 months ago. He’s made a full recovery and now runs on syphoning day. Hard lessons for both of us.
I did it too! Looked in my bucket and there was my poor betta! Tore up his tail fin but it's all grown back now. Can't believe he was small enough to fit through the tube, I have a siphon now that has a screen on it! honestly just looks like coloring since its in just that one spot! i couldn’t think of anything else, like sickness or anything, that it could represent!
he’s gorgeous.
It may seem crazy, but I have a similarly colored guy who had a little white spot like that on the tip of his tail, once. I even touched it to see if it would come off... It eventually just went away. He didn't change colors, and it was probably about two months ago. He's fine. Never been treated with meds or anything!
We got our daughter a betta and we think weve been doing pretty good about taken care of him, but would love some tips about everything! food, tank setup (info), what other fish can I put with them? He's been in a kinda small but tall tank but we wanna move him to a bigger tank plus I have everything (I have had fish before and still have everything) for it but maybe some plates (well the right kinda plants.) So we would love all the tips, and tricks.
Hey! Seems really cool. Betta would appreciate long over tall, as they'll come up to breathe and they're not the most efficient swimmers. In terms of tank set up, what pointers are you looking for? I can definitely help with plants.
what kinda things to Betta like to see in there tank?..seem alota like to hide which ours does.
My BF told me a little the other day about what I should do for him like I had a plastic plant in there and she said to take it out bc it can cut his fins! So I took that out.
I didnt see these comments earlier. Apologies.
Betta do like hides! I'd suggest maybe a coconut shell and something with a little tunnel. Also a floating log. Some betta have been known to rest out of the water but that's more of a character thing. If you got something part out of the water, your betta wouldn't necessarily use it.
As for plants, you want a good range. I'd recommend for your 10g some Amazon swords as they provide some good hiding space and have long and large leaves your betta may rest on. I'd suggest some tall plants for the back, you can pick and choose. Your Amazon swords should go here too. For mid ground, use a range of cryptocorynes and some lobelia (mini version!) And for foreground I highly recommend staurogyne repens and alternanthera reineckii. Beautiful colours. You can also add some moss balls.
