Hi All! I just wanted to give an update on Mr. Fish. He's doing a lot better now. Swimming around more, I got him into a bigger tank and he really seems to enjoy it. I have yet to see him eat.. but since I've had him for a week and a half now I have to assume he's eating when I'm not looking...

Thanks! I've been giving him two pellets twice a day to see if he'll eat them.. he is still ignoring them. Stays in one spot in the tank, comes up for a bit of air and then goes back down to the same spot again... I'm really hoping he starts to get better soon ): And I mean.. if not... I'm just...

Thanks! I went to Petsmart today and got the medication for Mr. Fish. He seems to be doing a bit better. I also found out that the tank I have for him is actually a 1 gallon, and I have a 3 gallon put on hold for when I get paid on Friday. I went back to the petstore today I got Mr. Fish from...

Oh, okay. I've had him for a few days now.. and he has yet to eat (as far as I know) and he does hide a lot... so I guess it is bothering him. Thanks for the help folks, I'll be sure to update as he progresses/doesn't progress. Although.. since he's still getting used to his new environment...

Thanks guys! How will I know if it's really bothering him?

Hi all, I'm new here and this is my... fourth betta fish I've owned. I picked him up today from my local pet store and after getting him home, I realised that he has multiple holes and tears in his lower fins. Is this something I should have kept an eye out for when making my purchase, and is...
