I found my betta girl this morning with a red pectoral fin. Her other one looks fine, but the other looks bloody. I'm not sure if it is infected with something, or maybe she injured herself.

Is there a disease or could it be a common injury.

Tank was cleaned out, so all parameters are 0 PH: 7.2

Thanks!!

Now the other one is red, and she isn't swimming with the other one that got infected first and it is now clamped against her body. She is having a hard time swimming...


Anybody help?

if its al bloody i'd say she's injured and could be come infected if not treated with triple sulfer or another forn of anti biotic

To start off with what could/did cause the damage?

I would suggest you try Melafix and Pimafix.

She has been recovering from Dropsy. Maracyn-2 brought her back from the brink of death. I still am treating her with maracyn-2 to kill any left-over bacteria that may still be in her system. and her right eye is still a tiny-bit cloudy. So, i hope that it may be a good enough anti-biotic for her, if this is a infection of some sort. And I threw a little Pima-fix in as well.

As to what she could have injured herself on, I don't have a clue. All the plants in her tank are silk, and the one "sunken ship bell" ornament she has does have a "smaller than her" hole in it, but I plugged it up.

In the picture below is what is currently in her tank.

This poor little girl has had it all since I got her..Ich, Cloudy eye, Dropsy, and now injured fins...poor thing.

It's not poor water conditions either, I gravel vac/water change every 3-4 days.

I came home today from work, and one whole pectoral fin is gone.


She isn't looking good...

Sounds like Septecima to me. Did I spell that right? Anyways, one of my Bettas got it and from the research I did on it, the prognosis usually isn't good. I'm trying to find the link now for all the info, as soon as I find it i'll post it.
