Question
i just noticed that my Betta, Bink has two small cuts on his side, like he rubbed up against the side of his bowl decorations and cut himself. is there anything i can do to help him.. is he gonna be ok? it doesnt look like he is bleeding. i dont know what to do... please help

Answer
Hi Stephanie,
 Small cuts happen.  In most cases, they will heal on their own.  You might add a little Stress Coat to the water, but do not over medicate -- that can be worse than the cuts.
