The regrowth of a betta fish's fins typically appears as new, transparent tissue growing from the edges of the damaged fin. Over time, this tissue will develop into new fin material, restoring the fin to its original shape and color.
Well there are lots of types of fins for betta fish. my betta fish has a long stringy tail and fins, but my female has short average fins. most have plain fins. mine is the only one i have seen in my area with a stringy tail. most fish have stringy tails if they are sick but not mine he was bred to be like that. depending on the fish and the area well there are lots of things that are considered normal for bettas.
Yes, but only one type of betta fish, which is the Plakat betta fish. Its not very common(rarely ever)but it is possible to turn out so. it could get short fins through being in a fight with another fish aswell but most people wouldn't like that
Common causes of torn betta fins include aggressive tank mates, sharp decorations, poor water quality, and fin nipping. Effective treatments for torn betta fins include keeping the water clean, removing aggressive tank mates, adding aquarium salt, and using medications like bettafix or melafix.
Some Bettas have been selectively bred to have holes and threads in their fins. If your Betta does not normally have these and they are suddenly happening to the fish then The fins are being destroyed by poisons in the water. You urgently need to change its water ASAP.
fish breathe eat and move just like we do
Without further symptoms described, it's hard to determine if a betta fish is sick. Look for signs like lethargy, loss of appetite, fin rot, or unusual swimming behavior. Regular water testing and tank maintenance are crucial to prevent illnesses in betta fish.
it looks like hard rocks together
I will provide a link to show you what they look like. They vary in colour and size and shape, but they have the same basic look to them. Answer Bettas have beautiful long flowing fins. They come in many different colors.
This could be one of many reasons, the most frequent culprit would be other fish, for instance gourami and betta come from the same family of fish, more often than not they don't get on also there are other species of fish such as rosy and tiger barbs that are very "nippy" and like to go around the tank nibbling at long flowing fins, i would need more info to properly diagnose but that is my first thought. If you have a spare small tank i would suggest taking you little fighter out and putting him on his own, they live mainly in mangroves so you could make the spare/new tank/bowl to look like this, if you do then add some melafix to the tank, melafix will encourage the regrowth of fins.
A dying betta fish may appear lethargic, have clamped fins, faded color, and may struggle to swim or breathe. Signs of distress in a betta fish include loss of appetite, gasping at the water's surface, unusual swimming behavior, and visible physical injuries or abnormalities. It is important to monitor your betta fish closely for any of these signs and seek veterinary care if needed.
If your Betta is developing the long fins, bright colours and male temperament, then you can safely assume it is a late developing male fish and was incorrectly sexed as a youngster.
The male Betta is beautiful with a flowing back fin,with bright and eye-catching colors, and they are bigger than the female bettas.But the female Betta doesnt have flowing fins and they dont have bright colors,but the brightest color you can probably get is orange and i think white for the female.
