Update on Kipp!

His tail has grown back very nicely. The aquarium salt helped a lot! Even though he is all better I still use it to keep him healthy. I am changing the tank more frequently and I am no longer doing 100% water changes. Thanks for all your help Aussie Red and Tucker!

I'd show you pics but they never turn out clear enough.

That's good to hear!

Great Job!
If you want to speed up recovery and improve his colours, try feeding him on a high protein diet, like bloodworms, preferably live.
Just remember though, you cannot feed him this everday, and not very much at one time, because it pollutes water very fast!
Maybe two worms every three days? (live)
Or 3 worms every 3 days? (frozen)

I'm not sure if they sell live ones... I looked all over and could only find one kind, Nutrafin Max. It sounds pretty good. I noticed blood worms were the fisrt in the ingredients, but they definatly aren't live, lol.

These were the best pics I could get of him...

He looks like MY Bubbles!! Lol!!

Did you steal my fish?!?

lol. Is Bubbles a Betta too? Do you have a pic?

you are very welcome Aus . For one time I am glad I could help and so very glad you were able to save him.
That is a very pretty Betta and I have 5 I love them. Would'nt it be beautiful if you could have a tank full of them ? Wish they did not fight but have you seen how many pretty females there are now? Thinking about turning one of my baby tanks ( 29) gallon into a Betta tank. 1 VERY PRETTY male and many colored females.

yes.. I know I took one... I'll need to find it.

Ok, you take waaaay better pictures of fish, lol...

But here he is




He has lovely areas of bllue that you can't even see....

I have failed photography, lol...

Yay! thats great news, I'm so glad he recovered.

Lovely fish BP! I agree with you, Aussie, it would be beautiful to have a tank full of them!
