My female betta has had some pretty serious problems regarding her swim bladder as of late, mainly not eating for a few days now and recently she floats vertically. I suspect it’s internal parasites (I hope, at least then I can try and cure it), so I got API general cure. I put only a portion of the packet since it’s 1 gallon obviously. So what should I do from here? Continue the treatment? For how long? Water changes at all? Help would be appreciated.

Welcome to FIsh Lore! Sorry to hear about your betta. Can you fill out the emergency template to give us more insight into your tank and the problem? Then, we can give more specific advice.

In the meantime, I have a question:

1. Is the 1g the entire tank or a quarantine tank?

Thanks!
 
try soaking her food with garlic juice it will increase her appetite
I have heard it even workes for parasites
boiled pea workes for swim bladder
