Yea I was thinking it seemed different from pop eye because the scar is underneath rather than all around the eye. I was thinking there might have been more going on because theres been a white dot in each eye for a few days which looking back at old photos is def new. But with how quickly it...

Thanks! Yea pop eye seemed to be the only explanation I could find but it really looks different from normal cases. I'll try to get aquarium salt tonight as I stupidly didn't bring it with me bc haven't used it in so long. She seems her usual active self at the moment but I'll update if that or...

Hey guys, pretty sure my betta has pop eye but just wanted to confirm :( I noticed she had these white dots on both eyes but just tonight noticed on eye has a white-fish growth underneath. I just moved and I think the water quality is different so maybe that's the cause? I've never dealt with...

Thanks guys! I have no idea what kind of betta I’m getting yet, I’ll probably see what their personality is like when I get them and make an update post then! :)

Ok thanks! What about baby snails? I have a couple rn and I'm worried my betta might try to eat the really tiny ones and if they're a little too big it could get stuck in their mouth

Are there any other animals I can add to a 5 gal without overcrowding it? I've got snails and live plants right now, and planning to get a betta for it soon. Could I add ghost/cherry shrimp or would that be too much? Any other recommendations?

aww im so sorry to hear that :( I had a similar experience where the pet store employee told us we could but these white and blue stripped fish with our African clawed frogs and within days they were gone. I think they mixed up clawed and dwarf, I wish pet store employees got proper training ugh!

Good luck with your tank! I'd recommend starting out with floating plants like water lettuce and frog bit if you decide to get into plants, I had amazing luck with them and zero problems when I decided to start planting. (Toast and Marmalade are the cutest names btw I'm in love)

.........my frog accidentally got dropped down the sink drain? RIP Lee

Aww my first betta was a purple/blue veiltail too! I kept him in a 2 gallon but eventually upgraded him to a 5. The only thing I did right was water conditioner and heating. He'd be proud to see how far I've come in fish keeping and I'm glad to have fish forums now so I can continue to improve!?

Nice to meet you Smaragdi:fish:
