My Betta Devin Is Injured

my betta fish devin has been mangled by his filter he is trying his hardest but isn’t swimming well his right eye is out the socket and he is missing scales what should I do?

 

I am sorry to hear about your betta. It sounds pretty bad- don't be surprised if he doesn't make it. There is a chance of recovery, though- how long was he in the filter? Do you see any swollen parts or raised scales? I would recommend putting him in a separate quarantine if you have other fish (even other bettas) in the tank. He's in our prayers- good luck.

 

He has been in the filter for a half hour ,sorry my tablet died but he is swimming a little bit but not much

And yes his scales are raised a little bit and they look darker than his natural color and his back is a bit arched

 

I also have his gf who is a half moon betta and she is in the shape of an s and won’t swim correctly when she is in the tank she twist in a strange way and she is extremely light as a feather she eats one pellet but spits it bk out and hides in her log what should I do?

 

And her belly is full of eggs

 

Could you post some pictures? Clean water will certainly help

Not rn maybe tomorrow definitely but I will get u those pictures

 

I would like to see pictures as well. Hopefully we can help and get them better.

 

I tried for the pics but they both sunk to the bottom

 

And skylery kept hitting her head against the tank

 

I I didn’t want to risk it

 

It’s okay if they are at the bottom of the tank- any pics would help us identify the problem. If Devin’s wounds look inflamed you can try dosing his tank with antibiotics, but most important during his time of healing is clean water.

 

Here are pics of devin he sunk to his rock

 

Here’s skylery sorry if the pics and video r a little fuzzy
