Alright...... I have six betta's at the moment. One of them, which I just purchased... well his fins are rotting.... FAST. His fins looked a little weird when I bought him but I didn't think anything of it. Now his beautiful fins are rotting and I am giving him medicine and it's helping, I mean most of the holes in his fins are gone but they have not grown back and it's been 7 days. I was looking at a website and it said that if a betta's fins are rotting and it just won't stop that you can perform a mini surgery, sort of. You should place the betta on a paper plate and place a damp paper towel over his eyes and part of the body, and gently hold the paper towel in place to keep him from flopping around (not too hard or you might squish him). Then it said that with a soft paintbrush, you should dip it lightly in hydrogen peroxide and brush it lightly on the rotting fins being careful not to get it on the face or gills of the betta, and let it soak for a minute. Then it said to put the betta back in the net and rinse it with water same temp as the tank the fish is in. then put him back in the tank and to do this once a week for three weeks and whatever is rotting his fins will not stand a chance..... I'm going to continue my betta on his meds but if that doesn't work then I was considering this mini surgery...... can anyone give me some advise...... PUH-LEEEEEASE
