Dial A Vet · Accepted Answer

Clamped fins and hiding behavior in a betta fish are classic signs of stress or illness. This could be due to poor water quality (incorrect temperature, pH, or high ammonia/nitrite), an underlying infection (bacterial, fungal, parasitic), or even bullying if housed with other fish. Check your tank's water parameters immediately. Ensure adequate filtration, proper temperature, and regular water changes. If water quality is good, consider other stressors. Speak to Dial A Vet via a video consult should you need further guidance on diagnosing and treating your fish.
