Hi Everyone

I wrote in a few days ago about Zen Betta Boy's chunk of missing tail.

Now it looks as if his front "dangly fins" I don't know what they are called,
are kind of shrivelling up at the ends!

My 10G is fully cycled, all readings are normal
Ammonia 0
Nitrite 0
Nitrate 5.0 - 10

I am treating him with

5 drops daily of Garlic Guard
Vitachem

And have just added some API Stress Coat tonight

Is there anything else I should be doing
Is it time now for some serious meds?

Is this fin/tail rot?
It doesn't look like any of the pictures of rot that I have googled.

Also I have tumbled gravel in my tank - all the pieces seem smooth

Does anyone else use gravel (I have read that lots of you have marbles as substrate)

Thanks a lot
Lily

Hi Co Betta

I'm sorry I don't have a digital camera

Fancy Fin - Is that A Good thing

If you could post me a link to a picture I could compare.

His Ventrals (dangly front fins ha ha ) are still nice and red

Thanks

I don't have any pics of fancy fin, none of ours have that, but it can be nothing or related to fin rot I believe. If there's nothing else going on but fancy fin, then I wouldn't be concerned any.
