So I have recently concluded that my Betta has finrot. He is a male half moon I believe and I have had him for a couple months. When I got him there was one spot on his fin that looked torn and I assumed that he had injured himself and that it would get better over time but it hasn't it also hasn't gotten worse. I don't know weather or not that has anything to do with the fin rot. It's been hard to tell but I've definitely confirmed that the ends of his tail have gotten progressively more frayed and ripped. I don't think I have anything in the tank that could be ripping his fins(live plants and a smooth rock) the only thing I can think of is a price of plastic that I'm using to reduce the flow on the filter.
So I have gotten opinions from many articles and people and I'm getting very confused as to how to treat this. I just bought a thing of bettafix and I was planning on floating him in a smaller container on the surface of the current tank(a ten gallon) and filling it with cleaner water and treating him in there where it would be easier to treat and clean.i have heard that Bettafix will kill the plants which is not ideal but by treating him in a smaller container could the rest of the tank still be infected? Also please tell me if this is a horrible idea.
I will get pictures and water parameters when I get home. Thank you so much in advance!
