I have a betta that’s possibly coming down with dropsy. I sterilized my siphon, but I’m afraid that whatever caused my betta to get dropsy could have been transferred to my other tanks by plant changes, using the same siphon, etc. before I noticed. I know that dropsy is a symptom of a larger...

I’ve asked her to send them, and she said ammonia/ammonium and nitrates were zero. Not sure about ph.

She’s usually good about cleaning and maintenance, but she was gone for an internship for an entire week and had someone else take care of it. Are there any medications you’d suggest for him? Thank you for your help

Thanks for the reply, and yeah that sounds a lot like what mine’s starting to do. I was worried more than usual when his fins got a bit rough looking, but they’ve been like that a while now and he’s just spending his days chilling on his plants or on the flower bed I got him. I bought him the...
