Question
Now I have had my betta fish, Schubbles, for almost a year now. He is very nice but he looks like jaws came up and took a bite out his side!!! Now, the wound healed a little, then it got worse...a lot worse. You could see him bleedin' and I don't want him to die. Help me!!!! How do I fix this...ohh and it is spreading.

Love,
dalanah

Answer
You can, at most fish shops, buy medication for wounds, so try that. If possible, separate him from other fish and keep him in a separate tank.
There is very little you can do but wait and see if he improves.
If it gets a lot worse you may have to euthanize him.
Tell me if it gets much worse, and I'll tell you how to do so.
I hope Schubbles gets better,
