It's working on everyone who is left being treated. Two angelfish and my female keyhole are doing great, looking great.
I crushed up the pellets for Sunny into granules...he seems to eat more of it when I do that.

Treating him with Maracyn 2 for 4 days now...lethargic but holding his own. His fins are thin but he is still alert.

Sunny 3 days ago...
today his anus is NOT swollen at all no red worms but he is weak from the bacterial infection. I am going to have to re treat after this one is done. I hope he can still fight. This is so hard to watch.
My LAST betta boy.

Thanks you guys. I would feel SO good if he could come back from this 100%. He is swimming around a bit more as of a few minutes ago. One more maracyn2 treatment and a water change...then we'll see how Sunny boy is truly doing.

He is gone. NO doubt camallanus worms are FATAL for betta without actually using levimisol.
You put up a good fight sweetie. RIP Sunny.

Allie... I am speechless. Just a few days ago he looked great.... I'm so sorry you lost him, especially being your last Betta. I'm really sorry for you and all your poor fish. That idiot LFS should never have sold you fish with such a fatal and dreadful disease.

RIP Sunny

Thanks...they wouldn't have known the fish were sick. It cleaned out a whole section of cichlids..the area I got my keyholes. The fish really don show symptoms until they have been infested.
The thing I have noticed is they do look better (except Felix) before they die. He looked awful this morning, his fin were so thin compared to even last night. This parasite is amazing.

Now it's time to cycle his tank and maybe in a month's time I'll get another betta boy or 2. This time I am not having too many at once, just in case.
It's time to start fresh.

It was bad luck, but you did the best that you could for them.
