Hello! I’m pretty sure she just scratched her eye on one of the decorations in the tank but I just wanna make sure. It’s her right eye.
her tummy is bloated but I’m pretty sure that’s because on of my female guppies that she shares the tank with had babies and my beta had a hay day eating them before I noticed them and took them out. I’m planning on not feeding her for a couple days and then giving her a peeled pea.
My beta, Rem, is currently laying on a specific spot of the substrate trying to get something below the pebbles, probably a bit of the sinking pellets I feed the Cory cats. She probably scratched her eye doing this.
she lives in a 29 gallon tank that has a divider in the middle. On her side she lives with two female guppies and two Cory cats. On the other side is 6 male guppies and 2 Cory cats. None of the other fish have popeye. I don’t have the water parameters but I just did a water change yesterday.
I just recently put a uv clarifier in the tank, in her side, and put in a boiled log. But other than that nothing has changed.
This morning I put her in my quarantine tank, a 1.6 gallon, and added 1/2 teaspoon of aquarium salt and let her swim in that for an hour before I brought her back to the main tank.
Any suggestions or just make sure the water is clean and keep an eye in her?
Edit: I added a couple pictures of her on Friday when she was stealing the sinking pellets from the Cory cats.
Edit 2: she hasn’t changed color at all. The lighting is why she looks so dark in the recent pictures.
