Cierra Posted February 8, 2022 Share Posted February 8, 2022 Hello all, I’ve been working with trying to fix my bettas fins for a month now. He started with one pinhole that would tear and then bind right up. I cannot find the cause of the pinholes, now that they have spread all over even to his side fins. The only thing I found about pinholes is blowout, however he does not flare a lot. He had a little white bump that now turned to a laceration on his face and is super lethargic until I add stress coat. Any and all suggestions are appreciated. 5 gallon heated(78) and filtered tank, silk and love plants, ghost shrimp tank mates, ammonia 0, nitrite 0, nitrate 10ppm. *currently in a hospital tank with water lowered* Treatments I’ve used: betta fix, stress coat, aquarium salt.

Colu Posted February 8, 2022 Share Posted February 8, 2022 What I would do is add Indian almond leaves 1 leaf per gallon as they have antibacterial and antifungal properties he doesn't look the best then I would treat with kanaplex in food feed a small amount twice a day for 7days the fact that he lethargic means he putting all his efforts into fighting the infection 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OurfFishBabies Posted February 11, 2022 Share Posted February 11, 2022 Cierra, I am new here. But, my Betta looks similar to yours. Is yours improving? What are you currently doing? I'm so sorry, and hope he feels better soon! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
