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, it is called a fin.
Your beata fish has a Dorsal Fin (the one on top), caudel fin (tail) Anal fin (the really big one underneath the fish that is more towards the back of the fish) Pectoral Fin (There are 2, one on both sides of the fish) Pelvic Fin (Also 2, the long skinney ones that hang down, located towards the front underneath the fish0
A normal length for a fully grown Betta male is around 2 inches excluding the tail fin.
By not adding other fish? You'll be surprised that in most cases its the betta who is the victim. Betta is such slow swimmer and they have large fin, which makes them perfect target for fin nippers. Although, you can add bottom feeders such as Corydoras catfish into the same tank as a betta, they do not occupy the same level.
Betta fish are usually multiple colors like turquoise on the tail fin and blue on the body and purple on the top fin. They can be one color like red and light red and dark red.
why does my pet betta have holes on his top fin
it's fins will look raggidy and look torn.
They are considered fin nippers. However, they are compatible fish for bettas. They are schooling fish so I would at least get 4 or more. When purchasing the fish ask the seller/retailer about their return policy; you may be able to return them without penalty if they pester your betta, or the possibility your betta ends up being to aggressive for tank mates. Good luck!
i have had this happen lots of times whether your feeding them or not... it scares me every time... and it is with different betta fish so i think it is normal!
Siamese fighters (Betta splendens) do well in community tanks provided the other fish are peacefull and don't fin nip.
There are some. I believe your beta fish's tail is torn because of fin rot. There is a cure for that in pet stores.
That's perfectly normal for a betta.
