Fin rot or fin nipping? I’m so awful at seeing which is which. Can you help me out? @scalestails @betta-buddy
Hey @maddythemudkip - sorry for the late reply. Looks like fin rot to me. There seems to be discoloration near the edges which is generally a sign of fin rot. Have a look at the awesome post by @iantojonesthebetta on the differences and how to treat it (he did a great job of explaning it):

Up around his Gil’s there’s this pale bloated looking patch. I think it’s coloring but I do think that area looks bloated but I’m not sure I was wondering if you could help me out @betta-buddy
@thefreakfanboy17 - Hard to say, but if you think that area is a little bigger than before, then it could mean he’s bloated/constipated. You can always try fasting to see if that helps.
So my aunt gave me a new tank but I don’t know what is sealing it on the inside and my dad said it looks like rubber cement. Could you help me figure out what it is? @betta-buddy
@thefreakfanboy17 Hey, sorry for the late reply. To me it looks like the standard clear aquarium silicone sealant. Something like this: http://amzn.to/2e2tED8

Basic Aquascaping Shapes (Click images to full view)
The Triangle This shape shows a simple and well structured shape which gives enough space for placing plants and hardscape. Important is the increase in substrate to get the depth effect. The substrate should increase towards the back. Smaller plants should be placed in the foreground, larger ones in the background. The increasing shape is not only to realize from front to back but also from left to right or right to left.
The U-Shape With the U-Shape you can simply realize an effective layout. Plants and hardscape will be positioned at the sides of the tank so there will be free space in the middle of the layout. It’s better not to place the free space in the exact middle but in 1/3 & 2/3 of the tank. Symmetries are to be avoided.
The Hill Shape In this challenging variation plants and hardscape will be placed in the middle of the tank and set with high growing plants and decorative stones and roots. The focus is clearly set so the Hill must have an appealing look. Foreground and sides will be planted with small plants. On free space on the substrate small stones or roots are suitable.
Shape with perspective This shape is supposed to increase the perspective of the tank. In the foreground at the sides high growing stem plants are used. In the middle of the foreground ground covering plants are the best choice to keep a clear view at the middle- and background. In the background a highly increasing ground will be planted with small plants. Therefore the illusion of a distant hill framed by woods is formed.
This is Elliot. I have one question no that’s it. I was wondering if you knew what type of betta fish this? His tail is split in the back, natural of course. @betta-buddy
@thefreakfanboy17 - The pic is a bit blurry, but I’d say it’s a double-tail. http://bit.ly/2e4dSWJ

I raised my betta from a little fry about a year and a half ago but for the last 3 months he seems to be constantly bloated. He swims just fine and has been acting like normal but I'm worried he appears bloated from internal problems. I've tried fasting, changing food, daphnia/peas, and even salt baths just for shits and giggles. I feed him a mix of pellets and frozen thawed bloodworms once a day. Any suggestions to help my betta? Do you think he has internal problems?
Hmmm, most of that should have fixed it, so maybe it is an internal infection of some kind. Have you tried any antibiotics yet? Tetracyclin or Maracyn 2 can sometimes help with swelling or bloating. Also, if you give your Betta pellets, try soaking them for about 10 minutes before. Anyways, before going the antibiotics route, maybe try the fasting one more time.
