Hello!
Im having a hard time with these two bettas in figuring out what is going on.
BETA #1 (red and neon tea
is an elderly betta maybe 2-3 years old. She has recently in the last 1-2 months had this discolored patch on the side of her body that seems to be getting slightly bigger ever so slowly.
My first thought was columnaris since I’ve had that in my tank before and it
presented the same way but she never got worse and the fins didn’t fry up. My next thought is slime coat disease? I have
isolated her and this other betta for treatment they went through a 10 day course of amoxicillin + aquarium salt and nothing changed. Now they are on day 5 of metronidazole and still. Nothing. I’m at a loss now and I just want this old lady to feel better. (Don’t mind the cataracts hahah)
BETA #2 (blue and yellow)
Is this beautiful small male that was a “baby girl!” From petco *rolls eyes* he is fairly young. Has a HUGE belly that I cannot figure out. It’s not dropsy, it’s just huge. I tried to get the best views of him but hes always liked to hide. The second thing that puzzles me about his is that he has a similar discoloration or holes? On his face. It’s hard to tell if it’s discoloration or holes because of how dark his face is. But I assumed it’s the same thing that my elderly female betta has. He was isolated with her and treated the same and nothing have changed.
I would be so appreciative if someone could help me solve this!
