I used kanaplex, if it were fungal wouldn’t that have cleared it up? I am treating with Melafix as well for the fin rot. I figure I will just make sure he is as comfortable as possible.

Not scaly, more like cauliflower and sometimes flakey...

He is by himself just the way he likes it. I made the mistake of having both my bettas in one five gallon tank with a divider. Sushi got to Reginalds (my other betta) side and I believe Reginald might have bit him a few times. He developed the lumps maybe a month or so after? Lesson learned...

It’s not as easy as just 123. I understand he clearly not doing well but I need to know if there’s anything I can do for him before I even consider that. He is alert, feeds readily and still had his great little personality. Not to mention he is still pretty active. I just ordered him a hammock...

There’s no chance of there being ammonia bc I am pretty good with water changes. The temp is around 82. And he currently doesn’t have anything to rest on-I might throw in an extra almond leaf for him. Edit: he’s in a five gallon, no plants, terra-cotta pot and some almond leaves and alder cones...

I don’t have my kit with me at the moment. I will post it as soon as I can...Do you think it’s fungal?

This is Sushi, my precious betta in trouble...he is experiencing lump like clusters all over body. He has had it a long time not (4-5 months) I have tried it all from betta fix, almond leaves to kanaplex to no avail. Please if anyone had suggestions please let me know what I can do. It looks...

Decent sized tank with lots of potential! It all depends on the parameters of the established tank. Drift wood lowers Ph levels to the point some fish may find it bothersome. Gouramis, tetras, plecos and loaches etc will be fine in lower ph. If I had a 200 gallon I’d most certainly use it as a...

I’m sorry for your loss... don’t be dissuaded from having cories as they are so cool. The last time I saw one of my cories upside down it was an issue with the oxygen levels in the tank. I quickly pumped up the air stone and took some water out of the tank so the filter would disrupt the surface...

Cycling a tank takes time. But the end goal is to have a tank with 0.0 ammonia 0.0 nitrite and 0.0 nitrate. Once the beneficial bacteria colony is established you will typically see a spike in all these levels then it will eventually lower to 0.0 that is how you know your tank is cycled.

Bettas can be really finicky with tank mates. Even if they seem okay with it, they prefer to be solitary. It would be a different story if you had a much larger tank so the betta is able to hide if he chooses. But 54 litres is just not enough (IMO) Just because it can be done doesn’t really mean...

I tried treating it using Melafix...did not seem to do much. I really try not to use medication but I’m wondering if I should use a fungal. While I’m revived to hear it’s not lymph I was kind of hoping to gain a little more insight coming to a fish forum and all...thanks anyways...

Hi I am new to this forum but I am desperate for any advice possible on my little guy. I have had Sushi for almost a year and the past few months he has developed lumps and bumps on his body seemingly with no cause. They are white and sometimes flesh colored. He is a sensitive guy so I try not...
