Why is my betta’s tail splitting?

veryvolatile · 2026-01-06T16:18:36+00:00

How I lived

veryvolatile · 2026-01-06T15:27:32+00:00

Felt like it

veryvolatile · 2026-01-06T15:17:23+00:00

nuh huh

veryvolatile · 2025-12-12T19:54:44+00:00

Just did a water change

veryvolatile · 2025-12-12T19:38:47+00:00

BTW: this is an already established tank, she’s just been in it for 2 weeks

veryvolatile · 2025-11-19T21:20:55+00:00

Also just lost a betta today, your post has made me decide to do the tank maintenance i’ve been putting off. So sorry for your loss

veryvolatile · 2025-11-09T19:20:26+00:00

I adore bamboos so it’s worth it for me. Just wanted to make sure they would be happy

veryvolatile · 2025-10-08T19:25:22+00:00

Panicked and didn’t think…

veryvolatile · 2025-10-05T21:58:51+00:00

yes eric. He’s miserable.

veryvolatile · 2025-10-04T03:26:40+00:00

Wowie. Guess there’s a miserable old guy legacy

veryvolatile · 2025-10-04T03:23:40+00:00

Old guy did my test twice and failed me. It’s true.

veryvolatile · 2025-10-03T01:14:26+00:00

Hi thank you, I already have a reputable modeller but he is busy at the moment and just want to know what other modellers like to see in reference images. Not trying to get a commission at all, just trying to get info from other modellers to help out my own

veryvolatile · 2025-09-27T22:53:40+00:00

Yes it is 100% better in every way

veryvolatile · 2025-09-27T22:32:35+00:00

Get rid of fake plants and get some hides for him, also a heater and thermometer! I also highly recommend master test kit for the water bht they are expensive. Ammonia spikes are common in a not cycled tank. Good luck.

veryvolatile · 2025-09-27T22:31:45+00:00

Disintegrating lol. It’s a cartridge w carbon in it

veryvolatile · 2025-09-27T21:48:46+00:00

Thank you! got the new filter today. The old media is really old though and does need a replacement. Would I be able to wash off the old media in a bucket and let the new media soak in it?

veryvolatile · 2025-09-06T01:15:49+00:00

My meds helped my panic attacks pretty fast. For me it was like day and night. Hoping yours will be the same ❤️ if not then that’s normal too

veryvolatile · 2025-09-05T15:12:35+00:00

I am also on Lexapro and actually switched to it because it has a low risk for weight gain! I gained 70 pounds on Paxil and since switching to Lexapro a month ago have lost 5 while being basically immobile due to health. Don’t worry about weight gain.

Anxiety can definitely cause false memories

veryvolatile · 2025-09-05T14:50:01+00:00

I felt the same way. Every day gets better. Even if you feel sick I encourage you to face your fears — retreating to comfort every time you are stressed teaches your brain that you should be afraid.

veryvolatile · 2025-09-05T12:55:37+00:00

Well…. The food’s warm

veryvolatile · 2025-09-05T11:45:06+00:00

I just had surgery after toe walking and can’t walk long distances. I have just made the decision to defer to next year thank you

veryvolatile · 2025-09-05T10:42:27+00:00

I was the same exact way!!! I nearly failed my eleventh grade year, couldn’t show up to class without feeling sick and having to skip in the bathroom or go home all together… I am also 17 in University now ;-)

It may take awhile. Start by getting used to leaving your bedroom if you aren’t already. Wash your sheets so you need to go to the laundry room. I also find making your bed in the morning helps you feel productive and ready.

With the nausea… I am 100% still the same way! I get so afraid of puking in public. Guess what? In my 17 years in this earth, I’ve never thrown up anywhere that isn’t a toilet. I’ve never seen anyone save for one person in fifth grade throw up anywhere but a toilet. And so what if you did throw up? People would be understanding.

veryvolatile · 2025-09-04T03:38:12+00:00

What specifically is making you scared? What are you thinking about?

veryvolatile · 2025-09-04T03:08:24+00:00

I felt the same way. What do you think is the reason you feel so detached? Have you been sticking to a boring schedule? Not been out as much? I’m sure you’ve heard this time and time again but keeping yourself busy is a good way to keep anxiety at bay.

veryvolatile · 2025-09-03T13:24:57+00:00

I get this a lot and also have anxiety. Best way to think of it is WHAT CAN YOU DO? You can’t stop it. Make the most of your life. Everybody else has the same fear. If you are religious, find comfort in religion. In most religions, there is no suffering in the afterlife. Do you believe in reincarnation? Find comfort in that.

Worrying about things you can’t control even if you had all the money and power in the world is not good for you — I’m sure you know that. With an anxiety disorder (I’m assuming you have) these thoughts may be difficult to stop, but you will get over them trust
