Hey folks,   I haven't been around much recently :D But I thought I'd update you all on my Fighters.   Sadly, I only have three left now. Sinbad - who I bought just over a year ago - is doing well, he's barely got a tail anymore and it's never grown back. No matter what treatment I give him, he...

Final update! (Unless everything starts going wrong)   Can no longer see any signs of the ulcer, and his scales appear to be growing back aswell

From personal experience, this looks like Dropsy in my opinion. Our betta contracted it a month or so ago, and unfortunately he didn't survive it. If it is dropsy (and please, don't just trust my advice on this, I haven't been fishkeeping as long as other members on here.) as far as I know...

Really sorry to hear that, I took a look at this earlier, but its not something I've dealt with before, so couldn't offer any advice ):

Yeah, I'm really pleased with how fast the treatment worked. I wasn't expecting such a fast change at all. His attitude towards this aswell probably helped - he's still buzzing around as energetically as ever. - Although I did notice his sleeping pattern change, probably he's finding it...

Okay, I'll still keep this updated with photo's as it reduces (:   Photo taken this morning:

Day three of treatment:     Middle of the ulcer appears to have vanished, leaving red flesh. Is this a good or bad sign?   His fin also appears to look burnt? And shriveled? Myxazin treats fin rot, but it looks like he's developed it during treatment?

Ah right (:

What do you mean by 'ulcer not being open'? (: Sorry, completely new to treating ulcers. Cant get ahold of any hydrogen peroxide any time soon, but will keep up regular water changes and meds

  Picture taken 5/03/2014 of the ulcer after two doses of treatment.

This evening the ulcer has become slightly flaky, not fuzzy, and appears to have a small red dot on the edge of it, which looks like it might have bled. Will get photographs tomorrow evening, but is this normal?

I'm using 'water life fin rot and ulcers', which contains myxazin. These treatments are usually quite good, so fingers crossed

Hey, Frosty's strange lump has turned out to be a ulcer and I have started treatment, however I was wondering how long it will take to see a improvement? The ulcer is white, and although it was raised and round this morning, tonight it seems to have turned flat He's in a 30 litre tank...

Oh dear, I had wondered if it was something like that. It's so difficult to buy healthy betta's where I am. Thanks for the reply, I'll just have to love him while I can (:

  This is Frosty one month ago roughly. So It definitely is growing
