How has your betta fish's appearance changed? Have you tested your water? If so, what are the following parameters? What type of additives do you add to the water when you perform a water change? What percentage of the water do you change when you perform a water change? What type of food do you feed your betta fish? What tank mates does your betta fish live with? Betta fish are carnivores, not omnivores, so their digestive systems can't handle plant matter.Īlso, copy this back into the thread and fill it out that can provide some useful info for problem-solving:ĭoes your tank have an air stone or other type of aeration? He has the behaviour before but not so often compared to this time, and he doesn't blow bubbles anymore, it means he's not happy and healthy anymore, right? Please help me, this is my first and last pet, I don't want it to die!! )':ĭon't feed him the peas! That's mostly for goldfish issues (from what I understand). He literally bites his own tail all the time now. Then he spits out the pellet after eating it. So, I put the artificial plant back to his tank again, and I fed him, but I am supposed to fast him for 1 day or 2, just couldn't help, his behaviour of biting own tail/fin makes me think that he's extremely hungry even when he's bloated.

I've been searching for why betta bites and eats his/her own tail and most results are due to boredom, stressed, or hunger. He also keeps biting his own tail and fin then eat it which makes me worry a lot. And he keeps searching and poking the stone, looks like he's trying to eat it or attacking it. He seems to keep pacing the glass, swimming frantically against it, and I think I overfed him, he seems to be bloat on swim bladder part but he still can swim quite normal.He also stay at the bottom corner of the tank quite often now. Then it seems to change a little bit, he started to grow some transparent cellophanes on the tail, he's recovering right? And he was happy and acting normal and blowing bubbles. Then the next day after I first apply the lotion, there seems to be some white fuzz that looks like tear cotton, but it got lesser day by day. He has only little tail left when I bought him in Pet Lover Centre, due to fin rot, I guess? Then, I bought him a medicine lotion called Aquadine Fish Care Specialist General Aid Special which cures ich, fin rot, body fungus, sore spots, and torn fins, and change water every morning for this week because he's in treatment, I took out the artificial plant to avoid him getting more fin split since there are some. It's a tank without any filter and heater, just some small pebbles/stones and an artificial plant.
#Aquadine fish care specialist upgrade
My male betta splenden is living in a small tank, or maybe not, it's just a petco pet keeper, I know it's not enough for him but my parents don't allow me to upgrade it.
