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!

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.

What is fin rot?
Fin rot is a symptom of disease in fish; it is not hard to treat, and the fish usually will survive. Most common in the fancy varieties of goldfish and Bettas, fin rot can occur as a result of an injury, as a secondary infection once the fish has been weakened by another disease, or in some cases, as a primary infection (bacterial (Pseudomonas fluorescens) ). Fin rot can be the result of a bacterial infection (which causes a more ragged rotting), or as a fungal infection (which rots the tail more evenly and is more likely to produce a white 'edge'). Sometimes, both types of infection are seen together. Infection is commonly brought on by bad water conditions, injury, poor diet, or outwintering fancy goldfish (who should live in warmer temperatures). Fin rot starts at the edge of the fins, and destroys more and more tissue until it reaches the fin base. If it does reach the fin base, the fish will never be able to regenerate the lost tissue. At this point, the disease may attack the fish's body directly. This infection can happen overnight without warning.
