Do fins grow back after ich in betta?
Yes; fish fins can regrow and heal with amazing speed.
What do you do if your Betta fish has ripped up looking fins?
Put in in by itself, and if the fins are not to tore up they will grow back, if they are to far gone the fish may get a fungus and die, whatever the fish should be removed from the tank isolated and allowed to heal or die. Unless seroius your beta fish should look completely normal again in a few days. they heal at an exceptionally fast rate
Can betta fish tails shrink?
They shouldn't, this is not normal. It is due to either finrot or physical damage. Finrot is caused by a bacteria (usually) or sometimes a fungus. These pathogens are opportunistic, meaning they attack fish that are already stressed or weak. The most likely cause is bad water quality. Make sure your betta's aquarium is warm enough, large enough (at LEAST 1 gallon) and maintenance is done frequently, especially if it is not filtered. Melafix or a little salt in the water will help the fins heal. If your betta is with other fish, nipping could be the cause. Many fish will nibble a betta's tail. The most likely culprits are danios, tetras and barbs and bettas should never be kept with these fish. Ideally bettas should be kept alone or in tanks containing only bottom feeders. Remove the other fish (or remove the betta to a separate tank) and treat with melafix. The other possibility is that the betta chews his own fins. They frequently chew in transit due to stress, but sometimes they do it constantly for no obvious reason. It's more common in fish that are kept in cramped or otherwise unsuitable conditions when they are young. I have a pet store cup rescue over a year old. He is a veiltail, but his fins are as short as a plakat's. As soon as they grow long enough for him to reach he chews them off again. He is in a large tank with decorations. Sometimes there is nothing you can do for fish that are psychologically damaged by poor treatment - they are only fish and are not adapted to cope with this sort of stress. Known fin chewers should not be bred as there is some evidence that the tendency to chew is hereditary.
If the betta fish you just bought and took home does not eat does that mean the fish is sick?
If you just brought it home then no, as it needs time to settle in to it's new environment. Would you accept food from a starnge perosn in a strange place?? If your betta will not eat his food, you should make sure that you are feeding him the right food. Every other day you should feed him a bit more. They will get to eat a lot, Betta fish are like a pig when they eat their food. Your betta fish could be sick. They usually heal themselves over time.
