Hi guys, I’m new and looking for advice please
I have a community tank with a Betta fish in it, his name is pinky, - before anyone thinks what a travesty - he is very friendly, not aggressive, gets on with other fish super well, he’s also been so good that I added him a girlfriend, bluey lol
However recently I’ve discovered that his fins looking shredded is not normal. They sort of were like that from fish store but maybe become more prominent or I just started to notice it more. So I’ve popped him in a small 15l sick tank and applied fin rot treatment to water. It’s from love fish, says 7 days.
My questions are: he seems a bit depressed in that tank alone, if that’s possible. I’ve added a couple of his old mate guppies to keep him company but he still seems depressed.
How long do I keep him in sick tank? It says 7 days on the love fish treatment but I read that it can take weeks for Betta fish fins to grow back..
Please let me know ur thoughts on how you would handle this?
Thanks
Kristina
