hi,
my betta (norman) has been in his home for three momths now. he's in a 3.5 gallon tank with a weak filter, silk decorations, 7.5 watt heater, and i change his tank water once a week, sometimes more. for the past month or so, i have been noticing a fray in this fins and it looks like someone took scissors and started cutting them into strips, and ocasionally, theres a huge chunk missing.
at first i thought it was fin rot, but there was no black or white coloration, but i took some aquarium salt and changed his tank every two days for two weeks.
it went away, and i thought it was resolved.
then about two weeks later, i was supposed to go to the beach for two days and that morning i noticed the same thing! i panicked but decided to leave it alone until i came back. i come back and it's completely healed!
this happens very frequently and it just reheals randomly, but it makes me worried. is he biting his own tail? i never find any tail chunks, so i dont know. any help? thanks!
