Ok So I am completely confused as to what is going on here. I have two male bettas in a divided tank. Apollo (My halfmoon) was experiencing fin loss really quickly! I left for dinner on the 2nd of December and came home and he had taken a big chunk out of his fin. I am so confused. I mean it happened so quick I assumed it was fin nipping. My other Fish was completely fine. Well I have been treating Apollo with API stress coat +aloe, to help mend his damaged fins. The damage keeps getting worse and worse and I have given up on getting it better. But I am still dosing with API Stress coat + aloe.
Well today I noticed that my other betta is experiencing fin loss also. I have not seen this in him either. I have had him longer too, so I know his behavior better.
The tank is cycled and heated. I don’t have a filter just yet. I didn’t want to get one because I was scared my fish might get sucked in and get hurt. So I settled for cleaning the tank every week. I pebble vacuum every other week and I do at least a 25% water change every week; promptly dosing with the API stress Coat + Aloe.
Both of the fish are behaving 100% normal. They both eat, are active and respond to me. So I don’t know what it is. I have checked all the décor and its all safe from what I can tell. So I am at a loss of what to do. Here are some pictures…
