It might be fin rot but it seems like there isnt any fin left to rot
Well when I found her she wasn’t in good shape. I just want to make sure she gets better.
5 gallon planted with no mates, with the correct sized heater and I’m using a sponge filter. The tank averages 78 degrees. Ammonia, nitrates and nitrates are almost 0. She gets feed hikari betta daily. i change the water every 10 days or so.
Poor thing. Her tummy looks kinda bloated to me too
looks like she has ick & shes starting to pinecone
Omg! Why does he have almost NO FINS?! 😭
Looks like dropsy. Scales look like they’re starting to pinecone out. If it is dropsy then there is nothing you can do.
Aquarium salt treatment in a separate tank for a week in 80 degree water. Change water every other day.
Was your tank cycled? This looks like a combination of ick (or epistyles), fin rot, and the start of pineconing. The first two are generally a symptom of poor water quality.
It looks like she has ick mine had it and I saved her and now she looks like this
