Add a pinch of aquarium salt, that'll help a lot.

Good luck with your new Betta! She looks like she needs lots of time and patience, but she's adorable ;0)... she has clamped fins (it could just be stress from a new home, but watch for other signs of illness) and her anal fin is definitely damaged. I would recommend Indian Almond Leaf and/or Bettafix.

Be sure to change her water 2x more than you normally would, to help her heal. If it is less than a gallon, it needs to be changed every 2-3 days! I think it's fine to keep Bettas in 1/2 gallons temporarily, as long as water changes are very frequent, but I would not keep an adult Betta in one forever. 2.5-5 is ideal. You could've bought a 5 gallon clear tupperware for less than that Critter Keeper, for temporarily

I know my local walmart carries cartons of aquarium salt for a couple bucks. You should be able to find bettafix there as well. Indian Almond leaf isn't available in most stores.. some smaller fish stores may carry them.. but places like Walmart don't.

Would Melafix work? I think Neptune needs some, too. I'm not sure, but he may have fin rot. But his fins are damaged badly..so would it work?

Bettafix is basically diluted melafix. I can't remember the correct dosage but read the back and only give 1/5 (I think) of the recommended dosage.

Okay. I hope Petsmart has Melafix..or...maybe...BettaSpa? Would that work, too?
