OMG OMG IS MY BETTA going to die
I was JUST cleaning out his bowl, and I had my betta fish in a smaller bowl. My dad noticed my little brother sticking his hand in this little fish bowl bigging my betta! I noticed at the bottom of the little fish bowl some fins!! MY poor Harvey looks like he is in pain. he isn't bleeding, but he is not moving, and his head is pointing towards the top, while his tail is hanging down. HE ISN'T MOVING!~~!! wat can i do, and QUICK!!
Answers:People forget just how tough Bettas are. They will live to be somewhere between 3 to 5 years old with good care (5 years being really old).
If your little bro did something to tear his fins off do not worry - fish have fins removed all the time (even ornamental ones like Bettas).
He will be fin, and fins will grow back over his years of life.
No worries - just give him clean water, good O2, and a plant or 2 to hide in/around and he will be happy and fine.
CPR
just use tiny breaths
wow
lol its gonna die its just a fish betta dont live very long anyways if you really need to worry about something is if you dog/cat is dying. sorry girl its dying. Get a new one or buy a REAL Pet.
If he flips upside down and starts floating topside, grab him by the tail and dip him up and down in the water. This will push water through his gills, like CPR for fish. See if that helps, but ONLY if he starts floating upside-down. He might just be a little freaked right now and hoping that if he holds still enough, nobody will bother him. If you stress him uneccessarily at this time, he may very well keel over on you. Next time keep your betta where your little brother can't bother him while you're cleaning the bowl.
If you have any slime protectant, de-stresser kind of stuff it wouldn't hurt to put some drops in his bowl. But he's probably just in shock right now, you'll just have to wait and see how he does. I had a goldfish that got plucked out of its bowl by my cat, the fish was on the floor with ripped fins without water for seriously, over a half hour. I thought the cat ate him but when I found him I saw he was still gasping, and I tossed him back in the bowl, and he was fine.
A little bit of salt (1/4 tsp to 8 oz) in water the same temp as his bowl for about 10 mins should make the Betta feel better. (Pun intended).
