ok so i brought a new betta from the LFS... although i didnt plan on buying anything when i went in for just food!
before i brought him, i was chatting to the lady in the fish shop and i explained to the lady that i wanted another betta oneday as there so smart and cool but i needed to get him his own tank, but The lady in the LFS said he would be fine in a community tank with my other fish and that she has kept bettas with other fish all her life...with no problems
thinking id be fine and going from her advice, i brought the betta and added him to my community tank.
when i got home from work today, i looked in the tank and the betta was at the suface of the tank and his lovely, long tail had been munched to shreads.. poor baby.
i have just serparated him and put him in a cooking bowl (only thing i had large enough to hold him!) and he is not looking happy.
What can i do? is there any treatment i can buy to help him recover? will his tail grow back or will it stay chewed up like that forever? is this serious or will he recover to fit form?
im going to get him a tank of his own at the weekend if i have enough cash or i might just have to take him back to LFS....
poor mite, please help..
