Big Issue, Need Help

[Sheridanp]

Like two weeks ago I posted about my betta not feeling well. Well, after seeing the symptoms of Constipation I knew that was the problem. So, as advised I did 6-8 epson salt baths. And when I did my last one, I had to go that day for six days. My betta was still acting strange. I was sure that he would not survive the 6 days I was gone. Well I just got back 20 minutes ago and he's still alive. I haven't fed him in almost 2 weeks, as advised. I have no idea how he's still living. But he's acting even more strange, and I get the feeling he's going to die any second. I really need help to save him because I have no idea what to do, thanks.

Some shelled peas probably hungry.
How is he acting strange.

 

[Sheridanp]

Whenever I try to feed him he won't eat, he seems way too out of it. He just lays on the bottom, and floats around. Sometimes even on his side.

 

[WILDER]

Sounds bacterial I would add a bacterial med, and if the fish as you know not eating not good news, sorry bless him.

 

[Sheridanp]

I don't have any bacterial meds. I may be able to get some, but what kind exactly? Like Maracyn?

 

[WILDER]

Maracyn one and two.

Does he show any pineconeing?

I'm sorry we have not been of more help.

 

[Sheridanp]

Not sure what you mean by pineconing. But Wilder has been great help.

I have maracyn one and 2 tablets, but not the box. Can someone tell me how many to put in the tank for each? Because I remember you need like 2 on the first day.Thanks.

 

[WILDER]

I think its one tablet to 20 gals.
Come on guys help her out.

 

[WILDER]

Sorry its ten gals.
Administration and Dosage: Maracyn tablets should be dropped into the tank (not the filter). The tablets dissolve rapidly and circulate throughout the water. A dosage of one tablet per ten (10) gallons (37.85 liters) is recommended. Repeat treatment every 24 hours for a total of five days. Use of a hospital tank is recommended. *be sure to treat for the full five days using the dosage recommended, even if the symptoms disappear after a few days.
