Once a betta has fought will his fins ever grow back?

Lexus · 03-18-2005, 11:36 PM

My betta in my community tank lost his fins to another betta. They seem to be growing back VERY slowly. I heard that they never grow back fully is this true?

yuo're betta is in a community tank with another betta?

. You're not supposed to house 2 male betta's together for any reason, they'll fight and his fins will never heal coz he'll keep getting attacked.

It can, once they're isolated! Or they won't quit fighting!

im confused...did u take him out? and why would u put 2 males bettas in one tank together?

some people can successfully keep to males in a larger tank, so i tried it with no luck.
They both were fine until they decided they like the same side of the tank then i removed the one.
but the current betta is in the community tank.

It happens EVERY time. At some point they find each other and attack. I've seen it happen in tanks 100G +

I think the ppl you've heard of that kept 2 males together perhaps were keeping siblings together. I've heard that some people keep males from the same spawn together with no drama's. But 2 from totally different spawns will always result in disaster.
