Update... Wyland now has two white dots on each eye. I can't tell if it is cloudiness or the cotton fungus. It's been four days since I added the Fungus Eliminator adn while it looks like she is getting better, I'm unsure of the waht the spots are. Tonight I did a 50% water change and...

The chemicals were as a last option for my friend to use since I was not going to be home to do water changes every day. I did a water change as soon as I got home. There was definitly a severe miscommunication between us because I told her to use those in case of emergency, not every day...

Thanks for the advice LauraFrog and Syphoniera. This morning both eyes looked better. There was still a white spot at the front of both, but I didn't see the cottony substance hanging from either. I don't adjust my pH. I did in the beginning, but then I do read it was bad. Is it also bad...

Thanks for your advice. I got the Fungus Clear in ASAP and will alert to any changes tomorrow.

Please, please help!!! My little girl betta, Wyland, has an eye issue. She just healed from gill flukes and I went away on vacation and had a friend watching her and I came back to this issue. She has a white, cottony type looking object at the front of both eyes. One side is a bit worse...

HI Syphoniera, Thanks so much for checking. My little girl is doing great. The Fungus Eliminator took care of a few things, but she was still sluggish and staying at the top the water. So I did a 25% water change and treated for gill flukes with Coppersafe. After about an hour she started...

Hello Syphoniera, A complete means complete break down of all items. As I said in an eariler post, I wasn't sure if the Mollies that were purchased brought any disease into the tank so the gravel was tossed, as were the live plants, and the rest of the items were boiled in hot water. I didn't...

Yes, I treated with Stress Coat +. I've read that Prime is good too... is there a better water conditioner/treater?

Thanks... makes it much easier to view. I have Quick Cure & Parasite Clear. Would either of those work for gill flukes? Do I need to do a water change before I medicate for this?

No, all of the levels were fine after a total cleaning. The water is very hard though.

Photos should be fixed now. The ammonia is .20 or so, so it is absolutely below .5. She hasn't ever had high toxins. Rachel

An update on my baby Wyland... I came home tonight and she no longer seems to rubbing on things, nor does she seem jumpy. She swam right to her food ring and ate a bit of brine shrimp and a couple of bloodworms. I plugged in her airstone so as to make sure there is plenty of oxygen in the...

I'll try to answer these questions one at a time... I have looked at her gills, but not with a magnifying glass. I haven't seen anything dangling from them. She only had a labored breathing on and off last night after swimming for a bit. I just did a complete tank replacement after I had the...
