My betta has been battling recurring fin rot since I bought him, particularly since he bit his fins if he wasn't fed every morning. I lacked the right knowledge to bring him up properly when I first got him, and he lived in a one-gallon bowl for about six months, with infrequent and 100% water...

I woke up this morning to find my betta, who had been struggling to recover from fin rot, all torn up all over again...worse than ever before. :sad: He is in a five-gallon tank and he had a recent companion placed in, one trumpet snail. I figure this is probably because I had a rock setup at the...

He had some red spots, as well as half of his face being red, but then practically overnight he developed the bright red stripes...so, I mean, it COULD be a spontaneous coloration, but I didn't really think it could happen over less than two days like that! That's what I want it to be!

I attached the picture to this post, hopefully that works. Is ammonia poisoning even treatable? Maybe I'm not looking hard enough, but I cannot find out much about it. :/ I would love to have a five-gallon for him like I have recently set up for my other betta (found the tank in my...

Of course, I am thinking the worst - ammonia poisoning, or something along those lines. He had a couple of red spots on the fins and on his face, but all of a sudden now there are vivid red streaks on a couple of fins, particularly the anal fin, and a streak just right of his eye. I really wish...

Well, looked like things were improving with my betta...there was color coming back into the transparent parts of his fins...and then I woke up this morning to see a few red dots on the edges and tearing. So I guess it's back with a vengeance. He is still very active and hungry though!

The tips as well as very tiny pinholes. And his face just changed color over time, so I did not know if it was natural or disease.

The tank is not cycled. I have to change water for another betta in a bowl (waiting for a tank) every day or two anyways, so water changes are just a part of my day! The spots on his face are just strange in that some of them are shiny at random, otherwise it's just a regular white color. No...

Unfortunately, I don't have a water test kit on hand, but I will see if I can borrow some supplies or get my own, and get a result posted. Tight on money right now. I was using Maracyn, then I figured out it would not work because it only treats gram-positive bacteria. His fins have looked...

I will attempt to post half-decent pictures, but cell phone quality is never good! My betta has a plethora of issues. He has just been moved from a one-gallon bowl to a five-gallon tank, and I am going to start slowly heating the tank up soon. However, he has developed these spots on his face...
