Irene VdDool Posted January 22, 2021 Share Posted January 22, 2021 (edited) I was doing my water change this week and saw they my female veiltail Betta Rosie had sections missing out of her dorsal fin and anal fin. She was fine until I added my Ballon Belly Molly Munai because she was constantly after Gizmo my other female Balloon Belly Molly. The were in my 6 gallon tank for a month. I have had Bettas with fin Rot before her fins don’t have white or black plumes in them, but she looks like a crown tail now not a veiltail.

Colu Posted January 22, 2021 Share Posted January 22, 2021 I would treat with aquarium salt 1 table for two gallons as you have Molly in the same tank try salt for 7days if no improvement or it get worse treat with maracyn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Irene VdDool Posted January 22, 2021 Author Share Posted January 22, 2021 I’m in Canada and my only options other than Salt is Pimafix or Melafix. I will remove my live plants and treat with salt. Thanks for your advice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FrozenFins Posted January 22, 2021 Share Posted January 22, 2021 I'm not sure if its fin rot. Did you say the molly were chasing her? It looks like she is a crown tail, there doesn't seem to be any discoloration near the tip of the fins. salt won't hurt. If you have a rubbermaid or like a food container you can float the container in the aquarium with water in it along with the betta in it. This way you will only have to treat within the container and you dont have to dig up your plants. By floating it in the aquarium it is making the tempeture the same temp as your aquarium. This is not a ideal forever setup but it will be fine for a few days or a week at most. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
