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 ph/nitrate levels. She had to leave town this morning so she wasn't able to get them separated by the time she diagnosed him. She'll be back tomorrow evening, so I'm hoping I can get some help now so she can help them out as soon as she gets home.
She has aquarium/Epsom salts, along with bettafix. Does anyone know what process she should take to help the little guy out? Or what treatments to use?
She's going to separate them and do a complete water change when she gets back but we're both unsure of how to go about treating him. His fins a badly clamped and he doesn't move much.
(Apologies for fuzzy quality these were the only ones she could get to me before she had to leave)
Any help is greatly appreciated, even if you don't exactly what to do any input is very helpful!
