Betta Problem
Hello,
I have a betta that is maybe 1 or 2 years old now... About a month or so ago she got a hole in her fin. I put salt in her water and I have been cleaning it often, but the fin completely ripped down the hole and now we have a problem... I attatched a picture. Currently I have her in a 2 gallon bowl with a heater at 78-80 degrees. She has a bunch of plants also-a common aquarium plant (I'm not sure of the name). She doesn't seem to be in pain..but I can't really tell. It looks almost like the scales on her body above the hole are a kind of gray olor, but she moves too much to really check. I have been feeding her pellets, flakes and the occasional worm or pea. If you have any idea of what it could be, Please Help!! Thank you very much. I just want the best for the betta (Princess).
Thank you,
Helen
AnswerHi Helen,
He is a beauty! You must quickly buy him an antibiotic for fin, and tail rot. "Tetracycline" is a good medication to use. This disease quickly eats away at a fish, so do not delay. Change all of his water, and start the medication. Be careful not to overdose. You could also add 1/2 teaspoon aquarium salt to his water with the medication. Keep his water very clean. On the third day, change all of his water again, always using a good water conditioner such as "Stress Coat", and continue treatment for another 4 days. Change his water again so that he has clean water to regain his strength in. You could continue to add diluted aquarium salt. Salt helps with parasites, and stress.
I hope he gets better quickly.
