    3/5 Bettas have frayed fins?

    Yeah that's what I was thinking. I'll at least use the rest of my melafix as it couldn't hurt since it is medicine. I'll do wcs of 5 gallons everyday from now on and keep my pleco separate. Sent from my iPhone 6 128GB SG using Tapatalk

    3/5 Bettas have frayed fins?

    So, after doing this water change(50%), I accidentally poured one of my fish (the white one with red stripes on her fin) down the drain. RIP. So, now I only have 4 fish. 3/4 of them have fin issues now... which isn't a good percentage.

    Here are my last 3 pictures. Sorry again about them being wrong like this but the website is weird when uploading pictures.

    3/5 Bettas have frayed fins?

    Here are first 4 pictures. EDIT: I have no idea why they came up like that. (on the side) I opened them on my phone, Paint and everything else and while the previews were sideways everything else had them straight up and down. These will have to do as I don't have time today to take more pictures.

    3/5 Bettas have frayed fins?

    UPDATE: I wanted to wait to update this. I've been adding the melafix randomly over the past few weeks and 2/5 fish have healed so that makes 2/5 fish with fins that look fine. The only fish that have frayed fins are these: Jill => Eldest; lighter blue, largest fins Julia => Second Oldest; All...

    3/5 Bettas have frayed fins?

    I had a feeder to feed them. So I know that they were fed (started it up a day early to make sure it worked and it did/does). Thanks for the idea but I don't think that's it. Ah Okay, that sounds better (about the blue water) than what the other person said. ----------------------------- As an...

    3/5 Bettas have frayed fins?

    Here are some better pictures. Sorry if some are blurry when you blow them up. I had to take them in a dimly lit setting as the flash on my camera made them impossible to see. Sent from my LG-D851 using Tapatalk

    3/5 Bettas have frayed fins?

    As far as the blue water goes, that means they were selling a fish that could possibly have some sort of disease? That's not right. :/ GRR & Thanks. I figured WCs are always good and I know a 100% WC is bad as I have to re-assimilate my fish and everything but I'm working on it. Hence why I'm...

    3/5 Bettas have frayed fins?

    As an update. I just did a 95% or as much of a water change as I could. There was like a centimeter of water at the bottom after taking out my gravel. I cleaned the gravel and the water and replaced it. I'm out of BettaSafe water conditioner (ran out putting it into the betta's temp tank) so I'm...

    3/5 Bettas have frayed fins?

    Okay, I'm not seeing any fighting... none at all, in fact. At first Julia (my oldest betta and the one in the first picture) was chasing around one of them and I noticed the white one got stuck to my filter (had to turn off my filter to free her lol thought it was weird and hilarious) but that's...

    3/5 Bettas have frayed fins?

    Update: I just noticed that the blue fish that originally had the fish issues has a back fin that looks like it was cut with a pair of scissors. It is a straight line which means this fin issue is probably due to her. :( She was so pretty at Petsmart and I didn't see the issues as they had her...

    3/5 Bettas have frayed fins?

    Hello, I'll upload some pictures in my next post as a reply to this. Some of my 5 bettas are starting to get frayed fins. I have been gone for a week and my tank level dropped 1 gallon. I have them in a 20 gallon with a pleco and a snail. Even my oldest betta (the first one I bought back in...
