Hi everyone :D Just letting you all know that yesterday I went and got a new betta :) He is beautiful - ill have to post some pics up of him, he is very small at the moment but im sure I can beef him up. It may be a little soon after King Arthur but it feels so good to have a little betta...

Hi everyone, unfortunately King Arthur passed yesterday and had a small funeral for him in the backyard. He held on for as long as he could poor little guy. Its good to have a bit of closure. While King Arthur is dearly missed, I have been considering getting a new betta and was just wondering...

Thats great news Oscar is still active and eating! Maybe you should try epson salts and medication? Might help, how old is he?

I noticed that he had a swollen body and was pineconing saturday night and it is now midday tuesday. For a few days before the symptoms were visible however he wasnt eating and not his usual self, I just thought he wasnt hungry. I tried medicating him since sunday morning however it did not help...

Unfortunatley King Arthur just passed. He was swimming around frantically as if to be in alot of pain...and then just stopped. It was the hardest thing I have ever had to watch. At least now I know he does not feel the pain anymore. I only wish i could have made hom more comfortable before his...

Thanks for your replys. I ve just cleaned his bowl again and re-medicated him he still looks like a pinecone and swollen. I hate to see him like this. I did ask the shop where I got him what I should do and he said to probably put him in the freezer but after reading the fish euthanasia topic...

Wow he is beautiful :)

He is just in a bowl probably about 5 - 10 Litres and I have no pH testing stuff at home the water at the moment however looks pretty green due to the antibiotics. I did do a 50% change thismorning though. Since I started the antibiotics it looks as though his fins have gone down a little but he...

Hi Everyone I have had my betta, King Arthur, for around 2years. 2nights ago he became swollen with pinecone scales. He has not been eating since then and hardly moves around anymore. His colour has faded from a deep red to a whitish grey around the swollen area. I read on the net that dropsy is...
