Fin Rot Or Parasite ?

My Betta is in really bad shape right now. I was wondering if this is fin rot or a parasite which caused that. I suspect that he got that from a new betta I bought a few weeks ago which had the same thing but is now doing good (active and food dance).

That looks like fin rot to me, usually caused by poor water quality. It doesn't look like it's too severe so there is hope for your betta to recover. Check your water parameters, keep up with your water changes and consider adding aquarium salt to help the fish recover.

 

Can you please clarify the symptoms? He's a beautiful boy! Repolie correct me if I'm wrong but I think that the betta might have velvet or it might be his natural coloring idk

 

Yes, please clarify the symptoms. But upon inspection, he looks like he has fin melt as said above, caused by poor water quality. Try making sure his water is super clean before trying anything else. I don't see any velvet on him.

 

Thanks guys, unfortunately Maya passed away.. I had him for ten months and he was my favourite boy, my little blue warrior. He was indeed a beautiful boy. <3 <3

 

Sorry for your loss

 

Sorry to hear that, RIP Maya

I would actually say fin melt rather than thin rot as I've just done a bit it research

Just finished reading the rest of the comments glad I wasn't the only one to notice the difference, fin melt is apparently much harder to treat as not a lot is known about it from what I have read
