Betta clamped fins!!!?
Last week I bought my first betta. When I got home he seemed to have a cotton wool type fungus, so I am treating this (it has completely gone now but im still treating). He's in a heated, 5 gallon tank with lots of toys etc. last night he was the happiest ive seen him. ive just got back from college and hes got severely clamped fins, especially the front ones (that he uses to swim) i dunno what theyre called.
ive tested the water for ammonia etc but everything is ok, and the temp is ok,
and ive been using aquarium salt,
and half kept the water clean.
HELP
Clamped fins are signs of either ich or velvet, both are treatable, but you have to find out if that is what it is. I would stop the salt for now and do a water change, and in the meantime, go to this site and see if your fish shows any other signs of these two illnesses I mentioned.
