Fish Fanatic
my betta Frank has had finrot along with my lyretail molly and dalmation molly for about a week now. caught it early on and have been treating. Has not become any worse. Going to go purchase additional medication and/or antibiotics today at my LFS. Just returned last night from four days in Toronto.
anyway, Frank is breathing normally, his fins are not clamped. Apart from his pectoral fins being a bit ragged from the finrot, he appears okay. The only thing is that he's very lethargic. A moment ago I found him in my conch shell hiding, which he typically never does. Actually, from where I'm sitting, I can see his head poking out a bit from it right now. When he journeys to the water surface, he stops moving for a bit and begins to roll onto his side. Before he rolls too far Frank starts moving again and goes somewhere else. He doesn't exactly appear afraid, since when I look in at my fish he swims right up in front of me as usual. not sure if this is swim bladder in its early stages?
just fed him, appetite is fabulous, nice and normal. enthusiastic.
hoping its constipation. will try shelled pea and such.
have a bunch of sites bookmarked- previous topics from here and such.
just looking for other ideas and suggestions. past experiences similar to this and the like.
