Mgreene317 Posted May 11, 2022 Share Posted May 11, 2022 Hey there, my bettas left pectoral fin has turned clear and shows inflammation at the base, it started about a week ago and started quickly. Any thoughts to what it can be? pH - 7.0 Nitrates - 20 Hardness - 60 Nitrite - 0 Ammonia - 0 KH/Buffer - 80 Water Temperature - 78 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Zenzo Posted May 12, 2022 Administrators Share Posted May 12, 2022 It looks like it may be an injury. Maybe an infection from a small wound. I would suggest putting your betta in a quarantine system and treating with an antibacterial med (or low dose salt). Observe for a few days to see if it improves. Because it has grown so quickly, I doubt that it's a tumor or anything like that (just my guess...not a vet). I hope you get it resolved! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Onescout Posted May 12, 2022 Share Posted May 12, 2022 Salt baths, lots of fresh water and the 3 med combo from Aq Coop. Do his scales always stick out like that? Or is that new along with the lesion? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
