Clear fins can be a sign of new growth or the fin growing back.

I got my first betta 2 days ago, I have for now been keeping him in a .7 gallon tank but will get a larger tank eventually. He is a mostly red veiltail
And has nearly white front fins, and the tips of his other fins look clear, is this normal or possibly
Mild fin rot? He seems to eat well and is pretty active but does like to hang out in the gravel…

Each medication is different regarding their instructions and all situations are different (tank size, etc.). Most minor fin rot can be cured by just doing partial water changes and ensuring proper water temperature. If you are using Bettafix, you can follow the instructions, but I’d still recommend some more frequent partial water changes.

I went to the pet store and they gave me Bettafix. I cleaned out a little of his tank to remove any old food. I did not put any new water in. I wanted to leave some room up top which I thought I had too high to begin with. I added the bettafix like it said to. Do I still need to do water changes daily for 7 days? The medicine just said to add the amount every day for 7 days but yall say to change out his water. Will the medicine still be effective? If I do water changes daily?

It could be fin rot, but I’d have to see a picture as you suggested. You’re welcome to email me using the contact page.

I agree. Anything less than a 5 gallon is cruel. I have my one Male betta in a 10 gallon tank.

He also has developed dark grey on his silver body his fins are red. I can post pictures of him before and now to see what the best thing to do for him. I did put him a quarantine tank and cleaned his main tank, please need your help
