my new little glofish tetra has his bottom fin torn alot and when he goes to rest hes tilted to the side and i really dont want him to die please help
 
Come on guys, have some respect and stay on topic. If you want to start a discussion about glofish varieties, start a new thread. Travis is asking for help with an injured fish.

Keep up on your water changes to give your tetra the best possible water quality. The fin should heal on it's own, provided the fish doesn't become stressed by other tank inhabitants. If it looks like it's getting any worse, it could be fin rot, in which case there are medications available at most major pet stores and LFS.

I imagine the tilt is a different issue than the fin, and may or may not be anything to worry about.

What happened to cause the injury in the first place?
 
A mean old rude lady from walmart who shook him violently in the net and hit him on plastic... hes no longer just hiding anymore hes swimming around the tank so i think he will be fine sometimes he will be normal but some times he still tilts to the side
 
Mean old ladies like that should be shook violently and hit on plastic themselves...

That being said, I think he'll be fine, probably just needs some recovery time.
