Re: clamped fin in my elephant ear betta

Your setup is just stunning, I'm in awe. Mine's a bit of a mess in comparison, I've never attempted aquascaping a planted tank before, so I'm still figuring things out. I'll be adding more plants as I get more experience, trying to make it look half as good as yours. What do you think about Raj's ...

Re: clamped fin in my elephant ear betta

Haha, glad I could ease your worries, I didn't mean to scare you. So, floating plants - I agree Lace fern is a great choice, but you could also consider Water Wisteria or even just some Java Moss. They're all pretty easy to care for and will help with the lighting.

As for Terror's tank, yeah, that ...

Re: clamped fin in my elephant ear betta

I'm still a bit concerned about Raj's fin, it seems to be clamping and unclamping throughout the day, with one section looking a bit stiff. I really hope it's just a minor issue caused by the gobies, I'd hate for it to be something more serious. I've uploaded a couple of photos of the tank ...

Re: clamped fin in my elephant ear betta

My Bumble Bee Gobies aren't picky eaters at all, they're doing great so far.

It is pretty odd that only one of Raj's fins was clamped, and there's no visible damage, so I highly doubt the gobies nipped at it. They're just too adorable, with the sweetest little personalities - I'm absolutely loving ...

Re: clamped fin in my elephant ear betta

*update*

I'm still trying to wrap my head around this, but it seems the fin issue with Raj has somehow resolved itself. I'm talking, what, a day later? That water change I did must've done the trick, or so it appears. I'm not counting my chickens just yet, though - I'll be keeping a really close ...

clamped fin in my elephant ear betta

I just got home and my beautiful Elephant Ear Betta, Raj, has one pectoral fin stuck to his side - it's literally plastered there, but he can still move the lower part. The rest of his fins are fine, and he's eating like normal, no visible issues. He's in a heated 16-litre planted tank with 2 Bumble ...
