Betta has torn fins - causes and treatment

[aquabane]

I've seen this before. Sometimes it's just them being clumsy, especially if they're active. But if it's getting worse, you might wanna add some Indian almond leaves. They help with healing and reduce stress.

Second the almond leaves. They're magic for bettas. Just don't overdo it, or the water'll get too dark.

If it's not physical damage or rot, consider diet. Poor nutrition weakens fins. Are you feeding quality pellets or flakes? Frozen or live food can help boost their health.

Mine tore his fins on the intake sponge. Weird, right? Had to cover it with a finer mesh. Bettas are delicate little drama queens.

Thanks for all the advice, everyone. Gonna check the filter flow and inspect the decor closely. Appreciate the help!
