Hello, I have two betta fish, each in their own tanks. I have posted almost two months ago when I first noticed them get sick. The first one to get sick (Fineas) didn't have any physical symptoms but started acting very lethargic, disoriented, and just in general bobbing at the surface and...

Thanks @Colin_T I'll look into PolyGuard

@Colin_T and @Fishfunn Thanks for the help. I think I'll buy API General Cure as it seems to contain both Metro and Prazi

Update: he seems to be doing worse and is particularly skittish and overreactive. He was lying in his 'betta hammock' (a tumbler lid with a suction cup glued to it that I keep near the top) and I tried to approach with a bloodworm; he sprung up and fled to the other side of the tank as fast as...

Hey @Colin_T Thanks again. Would something like Seachem PolyGuard work well as a broad-spectrum medicine? I have been able to get some videos. Here he is ignoring food (frozen bloodworms). Here is an example of weird behaviour for him. He has been super jittery and overreactive, when he's...

@Colin_T Thanks for your help! I have had him for 8 months. He was fully grown when I got him; I adopted him from his previous owner as she couldn’t take care of him. She estimated his age at 1 year but isn’t sure. It’s a sponge filter. I clean it about once a month by squeezing it multiple...

Hello! My betta Fineas has been acting weird for a week now. I have been treating him with tannins and Kanaplex as suggested on a forum but I can't tell if he's getting better. Tank size: 10 gallons tank age: 8 months pH: 8.2 ammonia: 0 ppm nitrite: 0 ppm nitrate: 5 ppm kH: gH: tank temp...
