hes beeing realy still hiding away and stuf ...

help

here is the pic of him..he looks so bad

he looks in a right state but well done you for sticking with him. I can't give you much help im affraid as my two seem to be in good health at the moment, even my rescue is back to full finage. wish you all the luck and i hope that he gets better soon.

Try some tetracyline. It is a very good med. Tetracycline is one of those meds that work so good, that you don't want to use it very often, so there is no immunity built up in the diseases. Since you have not been able to get rid of the finrot, you should use this treatment. Do a water change each treatment(100%)

thanks 4 that..sadly fatty diedjust after i wrote that..i miss him he was my first fish ever. so im kinda sad today.

thanks anyway

sorry to hear of your loss...how long had you owned him? It's possible he was just old as most fish shop Bettas are usually around a year old already.

Sorry to hear that he died.
My betta, Tango died yesterday from finrot, his fins turned black and seemed like they were burnt. Then they fell off so I treated him with melafix but the melafix just euthanized him?

Anyways, sorry for your loss.

it totaly sucks iv had him for 7 months..its me and my bf 10 month anaversary (shocking spelling i know) today and i was given him on our 3th.... he was so pretty b4 he lost his fins

i'm really sorry candy!!! he had a good life since he had a wonderful mommy like you!!! may he
