well, i havent found any, actual scratchs on him, but his fins are a mess, all shredded i dont have anymore melafix, should i put salt in? i have used salt to treat minor fungest infections, that heald in hours, do u think that will help?

A lil salt won't hurt, But you need to get some bettamax ASAP!

he is realy tramatized, everytime i walk up, or bump somthing to make a vibration, he freaks out, he has lost some of his fins, but some it starting to heal, i blocked off my room,the cat wont be getting in there when im gone anymore, i did put the salt in, and ever science i started taking him off blood worms, he hasnt eaten, im feeding him hicari pellets, red loves em, but mr,fishy hasnt eaten in probly a week, and now i think its going to be a while longer now when i get a display tank upstairs, im gunna put him in that, i think he will be much happier, seeing how he is getting on in his years, he is showing age, and i havent even had him a year

Goodness me what a trauma for you and your fish. Hope he calms down soon and heals well.

~~~ My fish blow kisses at me all day long ~~~

HE ATE!! i pulled out the heavy artillary (frozen blood worms) and about 10 waisted worms later i stuck the syringe into the water bout half way and started wiggling away, well he started dancing all around it then finaly he lunged for it, and started swallowing i let him rest, and im gunna see if he will eat another in a few minuets, and it was over a week sence he last ate he was looking sooo thin, and finaly!!

I am so glad you got him to eat. Please let us know how he does.

hope he is ok?

Was he outta the water when the cat attacked him?? or was he still in the water. Sorry he got attacked but im glad hes feeling a little better

he was in the water, and now he is eating everything i throw at him, i put a male crowntail in front of his tank, he started flairing thats when he started eating everyhting i threw at him, turnes out, he was depressed when i put his friend on the other side of the lamp, we also found out that the crown, liked the vase better than the 10 he lived in at my friends house

Oh goodness. the same thing happened to my betta a few weeks ago. Cat got to him. His fins were shredded too, but they repaired themselves in about a week and a half, and it looks like nothing ever happened to him. Bettas are hardy little guys..aren't they!
