    Betta fins, damage or fin nipping? Help please

    Lol. Yeah we do definitely miss the climate they come with though. Having some awful cold weather in England so far this year. I've been doing about 30/40 % water change every 3 days.. do you think that's enough? Ah hadn't appreciated thats what would have happened with his fins, that's a relief...

    Betta fins, damage or fin nipping? Help please

    Thanks so much. I was worried he'd chomped all the edges down even more but fingers crossed then. I'm actually in the UK so not many mosquitos around unfortunately, I wish we had the climate for them, lol ��. He does get a different frozen daily though like brine shrimp, mysis...

    Betta fins, damage or fin nipping? Help please

    Thank you. Before the damage his tail had become really thick and long so could see how he'd get annoyed with it (never realised just how much he's grown since we've had him till you look back) We've had him just over 6 weeks now and only noticed this the last week or so but then his fins were...

    Betta fins, damage or fin nipping? Help please

    Hi. I hope you don't mind me getting in touch again. So a week since I saw the damage and I would say it's looking worse if anything, I'm sure he's nipped at it again. I'm doing water changes every 3 days and increased tannings so today I decided to put a divider in to cut his swimming space...

    Betta fins, damage or fin nipping? Help please

    Thank you. So you definitely think it looks like nipping? On the basis of how quick it happened I think it has to be really. I'm just really sad he's not happy, do you think it could be the fluctuating heat? That's the only thing that's changed in the last week and he did seem happy before. I'm...

    Betta fins, damage or fin nipping? Help please

    Hi. That's what worried me. No idea why. Had him 5 weeks. Tank cycled, water parameters checked before every change (every 5 to 6 days) 34l. No tank mates. Only thing i will say is that I upgraded his heater to one that was supposed to be better and more safe and it's doing a rubbish job of...

    Betta fins, damage or fin nipping? Help please

    I've just had all my filter out and now know it's definitely not that. There's so much damage that seems to have come overnight so think it has to be nipping ☹️ only live plants here too and plenty of places to hide/relax

    Betta fins, damage or fin nipping? Help please

    Hi. Wonder if anyone can advise what could have happened to my Bettas fins. Firstly the dorsal fin got damaged but by the time I noticed, new growth had seemed to appear, no sign of infection then today I've just seen him like this? I'm gutted. Has he damaged them on something? Filter intake...
