Ye seems totally unafected, swelling has gone down and he just has a little lump where the plant was stuck. just put 2 cubes worth bloodworm and he is stuffing his face at the moment so he hasn't lost his appertite.

Im so happy he ok!

I also thought you shouldn't use melafix full dose with Bettas. I've had a bad experience with that as well.
 I would just maybe keep the water really clean with every other day water changes or something. I am glad he is healing well.

Too funny!I bought a Ghost Knife about 2 weeks ago and I absoluetly LOVE it! I don't see him eat because he usually hides, so I hand feed him everyday. So special  I've never been zapped lol Forgot to say I'm glad he is ok

ye was wierd I thought its guts were hanging when i first saw it, it most go to a speacial place to do its number 2's
Mine was shy when I first go it but now it just cruses around most the day. He is very tame for his size and has never bother any of the other smaller fish, apart from the clowns at feeding time which seem to get bitten alot but it deosnt bother them. |

"The situation of the vent in these fishes is very peculiar, the intestine passing forwards from the stomach, instead of backwards, as is usually the case, so that they have the anus situated under the throat; in one of the long-snouted species it is actually considerably in front of the eyes, a peculiarity which I believe does not occur in any other vertebrated animal."
From: Wallace, A.R. (1853) On Some Fishes Allied to Gymnotus Proceedings of the Zoological Society of London 21: 75-76 So in short, yes, that was its anus This post has been edited by joecoral: Jun 6 2008, 03:38 PM |
