Aiyo..my betta fin rot been worsening, all those medicine i used no effect at all, the fin oredi shorten by half liao.
If i would want to cut it, how much i need to cut?

what medicine u used?



try to do 100% water change everyday for the entire duration of the treatment.

richter693,

beautiful whites u got there.... lovely.

Foxngn,

sad to hear abt ur betta's fin. How do u cut the fin ? wonder if u cud take picture of how you do it. That way newbie like me can learn a thing or 2 from you.

the first 2 days i used ketapang leaf, then i change to use ocean free general aid special.
this few day i also do 100% WC.

I haven't cut the fin yet, maybe later..but dunno how to start it, cause the fin been shorten deeply the upper part.

aiyoh...poor thing ! do u have any picture of the current fin now ? maybe it cud help the sifu's here to give u a better advise how to cut it.

Just now i cut a bit out, too hard to handle it steady.
still not sure do those disease part is clearly been cut off or not.
How u guys steady the fish when cutting it?

are female bettas as aggressive as males? can they be put in a community tank?
kind of forgot laa

i only can answer some of your question since i just newbie also . I use 1.5 liter mineral water to rear betta...so i guess ur 'thing' is more than enuf lor. no need pump just need to change water every 2-3days

GymBoi,

welcome ! i'm also a newbie into rearing a betta glad to have another newbie on board as well.

You can use those 1 litter bottle cut it into half as ur tank. Otherwise go out and buy a RM 2.50 - RM 3 betta tank also can. Depending on individual.

I bought my RM 3 tank coz I prefer having them in square tanks and i can see them in a row compare to the round ones which i feel is taking up space.

I'm one of those who have them in my room. They dont need pump just need to change water every 2 days or so and feed them food.

Just for your info, yewlin sell betta too and he got nice ones available.

Just wanna share the pictures of my collection. They may not be show grade but they look pretty to me. I like each of them very much. Indeed, I have 15 now, some not yet have pictures. They have their own character, some superactive, some shy..... Recently, get into crowntail too.

My butterfly HM. The first one is blue butterfly. The second I think it is copper with red wash? Not too sure because I bought it with RM 10 only from LFS. His fin is shinning!!!!



Marble Fancy and White Double Tail. If you look carefully, the Marble Fancy is the one that I have 'operated' on his fin. Took about months to recover back. Fortunately, still look good to me but of course not show grade. The White Double Tail is just gorgeous. A big full circle at his top form. A bit of shy too.



Finally, my dearest red HM. Absolutely smart and active fish. They flare at me when I approach because they know I will give them food. I can handfeed them now, they even fight with my finger.


I hope these pictures give motivation to beginner... I have started to learn breeding but failed three times due to lack of suitable food for fry. So sad.

freshyyf, wow...your Marble Fancy is really nice, even though u had been "operated" on it.
I think my betta had no fin-rotting disease anymore, hopefully it could grow healthier & growing back a nice fin.

after 2 times fail, finally 1st batch of HMPK fries hatch yesterday. Cheer.
