What is it when freshwater fish lose their tail and the stub is all white?
This is fin rot. Fin rot happens when fish are under stress, such as from poor water quality. Make sure your ammonia, nitrates, and nitrites are at low levels (the test will say what is acceptable). Ammonia should be no higher than 0. If they are higher than they should be, water changes and an ammonia removing product such as AmQuel will bring them down. After you have fixed your water quality, buy an over the counter antibiotic to rid the fish of the bacteria that managed to attack it while it's slime coat was messed up.

How do you prevent fin and tail rot?
Well, 1 easiest way is to change the water everyday and put alot of medicion in. If your betta has a light fin rot, you could put in about 10 or 20 drop, if your betta is in a advance fin rot, make sure you put a lot of medicion in! One other way from making a whole tank fill with deceses is to remove all the fish out of the tank, change the water, and put back the fish thatis health and keep the sick one out in another bowl. If you saw the fin rot but it is already in advance, there is not much of a chance that it will be alive. Sorry!

Fin rot while it is on the fins doesn't really harm the fish too much. The point is, you have to stop it when it starts, because like a vehicle that rusts, the rot will eat its way down to the body. Imagine if your body started to get eaten away from a flesh eating bacterium. Sores will appear, blood will flow, and like any other living creature, you would die.
