 Coolness: 63630 | i have a beta (siamese fighting fish)
he lives alone in a small tank with two plants for the past month he's been very healthy this morning i looked in on him and he's missing part of his tailfin and it's in tatters does anyone know what it might be? mold? something in the water? fin eating disease? malnourishment? if anyone has any suggestions on action i can do to save my fish it would be most welcome thank you |

 Coolness: 106510 | aww thats so sad. what makes me even sadder is that i just bought 3 tetras, and as soon as i tried getting them out of the bag, one died :(
ah well, i hear there is a return policy or something. anyhoo, go ask the ppl at the pet shop or Moi on this board. |

| Coolness: 142085 | when putting fish into new tanks, your should always climatize them, by letting the bag they're in sit in the water of the tank, so they don't get shock from going from one tempurature to another... |

 Coolness: 340385 | tail rot can be cured, but it takes several months for the fins to grow back.. my gold fish had it and their tails took bout 5 months to come back entirely.. |

| Coolness: 63630 | thanks people... that's a good site jackie... i'm looking for maracyn
hopefully i won't have to take the fish out of the water for treatment as it says finrot is usually due to stress... and jeff stop eating my fish... ewwww |

| Coolness: 139440 | no, you dont, you treat them directly in the tank.
hope it works. |

| Coolness: 63630 | yesterday and today i put Melafix in the tank... that won't harm him any will it? it's just an antibacterial solution... hopefully it won't mix badly with maracyn |

| Coolness: 139440 | you shouldnt mix medications. |
