Ooh I didn't think of that. I have to say though I have never seen him do it. He just swims bak and forth ad up and down the front of the tank lol
He does however like to sleep resting against the back of the filter maybe that's the problem??
 
His fins don't look like they are rotting at all from the picture. There's no melted looking edges or black from what I can see. Have you checked all decor for sharp edges?
 
Yup my decor is fine only got the driftwood which is all smooth and my pots...I think the edges look like they have stuck together if you know what I mean?
 
I'd say just keep an eye on him. You can keep treating him over and over but if he's doing the damage it's not going to work.

See the blunt jagged edges on his fins? (it's got new growth now but it's still clear) That was all self inflicted.
 
Wow that's mad they do that to themselves. I think I'll leave him a week with just salted water and see if there is any change. Thanks for all your help mumma :)

It is! I think his fins bother him. They where the longest fins ive Ever seen on a betta. I've caught him ripping chunks off and eating them :/

Good luck and keep me posted!
 
Oh I will do don't worry. My mum told me today we have a vet who specialises in fish near by so if needed I could probably get antibiotics and things :)
 
Ok so mr grumpy's fins are getting worse. I have an order of maracyn2 and maracyn plus on the way to hopefully finish this once and for all!!
 
Me too!! The main thing is he's still happy and zipping around the tank - I can't wait to get him back to his beautiful former self :)
 
Ok so it's been a while but I've managed to move my guppies out of Mr Grumpy's tank and tonight have started treatments with the maracyn.
Fingers crossed it will stop the rot in his tail poor thing - I tried him with deshelled peas yesterday as a treat but very uninterested!! Lol
