Just wanted to give one last update, and also to thank everyone who gave me great advice. Thanks to what help i got here, i was able to minimize the damage to my tanks. The betta is doing fantastically well, and has really settled in now. No sign of any whitespot now, and I'm in the process...

Time for an update: I've now got the betta on the 2nd dosing for white spot, and he still seems to be doing well. I can't find any white spots on him now. But I'll continue treatment anyways, and will do the last dose next tuesday. It doesn't say it's necessary, but I'll do it anyways just...

Corydad, thanks for that. I don't know about ich laying dormant in a tank, but in either case, the fish in the tank I took the water from are not showing any symptoms or spots. I'll be keeping an eye on everybody. Thanks miss wiggle! Here's my tiny update: I had a bit of luck and my husband...

Thanks Colin!

Hiya all! Just a quick question about treating a betta for ich. I know the meds I need, and that I need to raise the temp, and add more aeration. My question is, does anyone know if a betta can accept temps up to 30C/86F? Only reason I didn't put this question in fish emergencies (I already...

I know, I should :( I have some treatments for fin-rot and the like, but that's not for ich. I've just had so few illnesses it's never even occurred to me to keep some basic medicines. They do say hindsight is 20/20 *sigh* I'll see what I can do to get my hubby to pick up something on the...

Thanks, I'll check over there to be sure. Will give the gravel a bit of a clean, and I'll steal the bubbler from the small tank to add some more aeration. But I still won't be able to get meds until tomorrow. Having only one car between me and my husband is extremely inconvenient sometimes...

Thanks for that. Even though I have a dslr, it still has troubles taking pics of fish, very frustrating! I too think it's ich, they're little tiny salt grains, the poor thing. He's been through so much already, I hate that he's gained this now. I've never ever had it in the 3 yrs I've been...

Hello again! If anyone read my previous emergency with this betta, they'll know what I'm talking about. If not, here's the original post here. Anyways, now this betta is homed in a brand new tank. I used filter media & a log w/ anubias on it, added water from another tank halfway, then...

Thanks for that :) I too am happy he's staying with us. He's made it through the night, and seems quite happy in his new home. He seems somewhat tiny in there, but in there he'll stay, by himself, for quite a while - as hubby was disgruntled at how much he had to pay to get this betta a new...

So here's our new tank! Husband managed to pick it up on his way home from a different LFS from the one we ended up getting the betta from. It's a 35L/10G, bigger than I thought we'd get, but still nice. Sorry for the horrible fake plants, but the dirty anubias & wood in the back is real...

I'll try and do that. I've got almost no photos of both my tanks, so perhaps I'll take care of that soon. :)

Well the verdict is in, we'll be keeping the betta, yay :) Now just have to find a tiny tank for a tiny price to fit in the tiny space which is the only space I have left near a power outlet. Anyone know of any great websites I can price tanks on? I've only been able to find seapets, and keep...

Wow, 8 tanks, I can't even imagine. I bet you had some variety of fish! I think if we do get a 3rd tank for the betta, I'll be at my max. But of course I'll continue to daydream of all the types of tanks I could come up with. There's so many I have no experience with that I'd love to try...

I wouldn't know what to do with only one fish tank. Mind you, my largest is enough fish tank to equal at least 2 smaller fishtanks. We're the kind of household that sacrifices space for fishtanks :blush: Soon we'll have no living space, only fishtank space :crazy: Splish, we'll see if it's...
