Gotcha, I'll be sure to tell her.

My friends fish has caught what we both believe to be velvet, and he's in rather critical condition. He shares a two-gallon divided tank with a female, but she is in perfect health. The tank is unfiltered and unheated, but she says the bettas are happy anyway in it. She doesn't know her...

So this is actually a post for my friends fish, who has not been doing well. He is a baby boy petco Betta she got in April. Starting about a month ago, his fins have been clamped, but they’ve gotten much worse and now he stays in the corner of her tank lethargically. He shares a tank with a...

Thank you, everyone, I have read through all your posts and I'm developing a plan that will hopefully help them out. Definitely siphoning the tank and doing some Epsom salt baths. Here are pictures if you're curious. It's hard to take pictures of them so you can't see the full extent of their...

okay, just once or should I try giving it to multiple times in the day?

Please, anyone and everyone! My bettas are not doing well and any input or help would be a major blessing, I'm freaking out and have no idea what to do. I had an allergy attack this morning and have been stuck in bed for most of the day. Since I could not, I asked my brother to sprinkle *5*...

Sounds good. I ordered the kanaplex a bit ago so it should arrive soon.

I used the tablespoon dosage this morning, but I can try again when/if I give her another bath. I haven't treated her yet since I'm not sure what kind to use honestly. I hope that's not the cause of this.

So it's been a bit since her 4th bath, and I'm afraid she hasn't changed any, even with an increased dosage of Epsoms. She seemed a little stressed out during the bath this morning so I don't want to continue and risk something else if she's not fairing well. I still want to get her side expanse...

Yeah, that sounds like a good idea. I’ve only been doing one teaspoon per gallon so I’m sure I can go up a little.

went ahead and did her second salt bath. She was a bit more still this time when put in but other than that she responded well. She had no changes from yesterdays in her side length but I'll keep at it.

Looked around and found several different products but I'm not sure what would quite work for my bettas. I feed them nat geo and Aqueon standard pellets daily (along with a treat sprinkle every now and then) but I'm hoping to add a little more to their diet by soaking them in a vitamin...

I've been meaning to get some almond leaf extract into my tank for a while, but I have no idea where to order it from. Does anyone know any good quality sellers?

Yeah, it's obviously not harming her but you never know when it could suddenly become fatal out of nowhere. I hope so too! Side note for the thread ig: Soda-pops scar seemed to fade today so I think it was just a scratch that was healing over. If it reappears then I'll look into it more closely

Ah, okay. I have a good-sized tank so maybe 10-15 tetra? My bettas are pretty chill so I'm not worried about them attacking, but it's always good to make sure no accidents happen. Thanks for the tips!
