I agree with Haiku. The Petco right around the corner from me is very clean and the Bettas are very well cared for. Petsmart is the same way, but they are in blue water which I don't agree on. Also in the really small cups. The Petco I went to was in the district where my friend works. I was...

The store was in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. I usually don't go nuts and lose my composure, but like you said, it wasn't just one fish there. The only part I regret is that I started crying. I get that way when I get mad. The employees thought I was crazy and dangerous. Thats why they probably...

Well I went to the store this afternoon and the manager of the whole store was there. Apparently the man who identified himself yesterday was the Assistant Manager. The Manager, who was very nice and listened to what I had to say, apologized for the way I ws treated and apparently the Bettas...

CCQ, I totally understand where you are coming from. But if you could have seen the poor fish and the smell from the dead ones, maybe you would have done something too. But its my nature to sometimes do before I think andi was lucky that I know thats bad. I think I just went into auto pilot and...

:crazy: Today I went into my local PETCO to get some crickets for my son's lizard and I wandered over to the display of the Bettas they had there. I must say that they are kept quite clean in clear water and in plastic containers, the only way to describe them, is the containers you get at the...

I would name him Tempest. Tempest reminds me of right before a storm at sea when the sky changes all the colors of your guy. There is a song that goes " Like Tempest to the Sea, Love is all. Thats all your new guy wants is love. Love, Theresa

Hello all, Hope all are well. I have a question about the hopital tank i have Ramses in. I am treating him for flex and a little bit of ich. I have him in a 2.5 gallon unfiltered hospital tank which I do 100% water change every other day. Temp is at 80 I added maracyn, maracyn plus as well as...

this might sound stupid , but do you use maracyn and maracyn plus together? the way the bottle reads you use the plus when treating an ailment and it prevents reinfection while being treated. Just curious.

Wilder , it kinda sounds like it. But would it just develop on his head and no where else on his body?

I did add salt to the hospital tank. I am also treating him with maracyn plus and maracyn 2. Like I said its slowly going away and a gorgeous blue color is coming through. What parasites cause the whole head to turn brown? just curious. I am obviously doing something right for him. At least I...

Hello all! Hope you all are doing well. As some of you know this is my first Betta and he was a rescue and I have had nothing but problems for awhile with Ramses health. Finally things are starting to get under control. He is still in a hospital tank, getting better each day. Blowing bubble nest...

Can I use Maracyn plus and Maracyn 2 at the same time. I am treating my Betta with a Mouth rot problem but he also needs the Maracyn 2. Can I use them both together or should I just stick to Maracyne and Maracyne 2. The bottle says that it stops reinfection during treatment. It came with no...

I agree with you all. Everyone here is so helpful and kind , but most of all patient with us newbies here. I myself have learned so much and want to continue to learn. I even now have my mother and my boys looking at the fish when we go into pet stores and my youngest son, bless him, went to...

Hello All, I just wanted to drop you a note to thank all of you here in the forum for your excellent advice on making my Betta well. He was suffering from mouth and fin rot and the advice you gave me helped me make him better. Although he is not out of the woods yet, I came upstairs just now and...

Help! I just got a really good look at my betta. He has little red looking ulcers on his head . There are about 8 of them. I am really worried. He is eating and swimming all around . His appetite is great also. I am treating him for fin rot and a fungus, which I beleive is mouth fungus. I am...
