I adopted a betta from petsmart for free (they even had me sign adoption papers for him) and he had fin rot so bad, 95% of his caudal fin was gone :'(
I used a combo of Betta Revive, Betta Fix, aquarium salt, and of course clean water. I saw new fin growth after 2 days! Now exactly 6 months and 3 days later, his tail is full again and he's thriving! He still has clear ends on his tail that haven't changed color yet and they may never change color, but he's still beautiful!

Not sure who does a better job you or Cory but it’s always the quality people expect from Aquarium Co -Op.

Ugh I am a beginner & I am so glad that I found this video! My new Betta fish, her fins have reached Stage 3, mind you she was just brought into my care & I definitely noticed her fins. I am an absolute amphibian & animal lover. I wanna save this little Betta so thank you for the recommendations!

[NiX_aKi]

She's such an excellent communicator!

[relaxingnature]

This video is made to help beginners ..she said to clean the tank but she forgot to mention not to "over clean" ..most beginners have absolutely no clue about benificial bacteria ..that info has to be drilled into people's heads because it goes in one ear and out the other 90% of the time

Irene when you were still called A Gamer’s Wife I wasn’t so sure about you. No offense meant.
You are truly an outstanding addition to Aquarium Coop. You’re more knowledgeable than I had realized before.
You are also so affable. What a pleasure it is to watch your videos and read the blogs.
Big thumbs up to you. 👍🏾👍🏾

Long time watcher but I rarely comment. I just wanted to say how much I loved this video. It was filmed brilliantly and the content is great. Plus your presenter was amazing. Great work guys!

[kirwinroach]

Very informative and I love the presenter. She is so personable and knowledgeable. A real asset to Aquarium Co-Op

[sinverrette]

You literally helped me save my fish. He was on his way out. So bad.. after 2 days in the aquarium salt bath. He's improved so much!!! I'm glad I found this channel because I went to get betta fix.. then read it could kill him. Just like with the salt bath. People said that they should only be in and out the bath for 5 mins. Thank you for saving Valentino.

I love Irene!! Concise, thorough, and easy to understand - Great Job!!💕👍

Perfect timing! This is exactly the info I needed. One of my old tetras seems to not be able to bounce back from torn fins and little scrapes nowadays and had developed a bit of fungus again. I treated her with salt and elevated water temperature last time because I didn't have the quarantine trio yet. Going to follow your instructions this time.

~ I am proud to say that after nearly 3 weeks of treating my betta in a 5 gallon hospital tank (I took his main 10 gallon and sterilized it very well while he was in his hospital tank), he is healed of his fin rot and most of his fins were saved - he's doing great. I used a combination of Indian Almond Leaves and Maracyn / Maracyn 2.
~ I always kept check of my water quality and kept my tank clean and in check while he was being treated. I also give him a variety of healthy food.
~ Cause of Fin Rot: I had pothos stems rotting in my tank, which I was not aware of and it was fouling my water. Make sure your plants are healthy, guys.
~ This was my first real fight with fin rot and my betta is doing wonderful. I saved my fish. I'm so proud of myself. 😊

Thank you for posting!! I started taking over caring for my landlady’s betta. The poor thing was in a terrible state due to poor water conditions and I had to take over. The fish is alone and the i seemed to fix her “popeye” issue, that was horrific, but thankfully, she recovered. Now I’ve bought a 1.5 G tank with filter, w heater, but fin rot has seemed to creep in. Im committed to caring for this sweetie, so thank you very much for your instruction. Sorry this is so long!!!!❤️😉

[mzluv]

So glad for transcripts! Getting my answers in 1 minute instead of 8!!

[princecabbage]

my poor fish had to deal with moving before i could clean his tank so he was so stressed but now that i got him in a happier place he seems to be doing a lot better. he is pretty old but his energy went back up so much.

[jumppilot]

Thanks for the great content. I just purchased the recommended trio for my sickly betta.

You’re basically my local fish store due to your excellent online presence. Keep it up - it drove me to purchase from you.

[vanessap]

I followed your advice on the aquarium salt (I'm in Canada so no antibiotics available) and my little guy is looking so much better! It took about a week before we noticed anything and then his fins started to regrow quickly! Thank you!

[brianmarshall]

I recently got myself a beautiful blue half moon betta for my community tank. He’s my first betta, so this is a great video to be aware of this before I ever encounter it. Thanks Irene.
