	Instant Double Tail
~ Sin ~ Mega Fish Posts: 1252 Votes: 28 Registered: 24-Mar-2003	Well, I've decided I'm cursed I was feeding my Bettas last night, I got to my new Turq Delta & dropped his food in. He spotted it & wheeled around, catching sight of the end of his tail in the process. Well, he latched onto it, flicked & pulled, & Bingo! Instant Double Tail.. He tore it straight down the centre all the way to the base! Needless to say I was furious ]:\|. If he'd been a puppy he would've copped a rolled up magazine on the nose!!! As it was I woke my mum up yelling at the lil bugger Just thought I'd share.... and vent ]:\|]:\|]:\|[/font][/font]

At first I thought it was fin rot, but it's way too irregular and I then caught the little bugger eating it with much gusto! shakes head

Actually, I just woke up one day and his tail was split from base to tip, I don't think he munched on it. However, I added a bit of melafix and within a few days he was good as new. Yay for melafix. ~Meow. Thus spoke the cat.~

sillysassy Enthusiast Posts: 173 Kudos: 54 Votes: 0 Registered: 24-Jul-2003	Funny, but a little concerning! I have one who used to chase his own tail and eat it until it was too short to catch. I thought it was finrot too, until I saw him chew on teh healing bits again! I think he was bored of his environment. I threw him into a tank with lots of guppies, and now he chases those instead of his own tail. The good news is, the tail grew back without any problems.
