Sick Fish? Need Help

[DarkPride]

ok so today i saved 5 females from a shop in town, 2 of the 5 are quite upset still breathing though there on there sides,

i have moved them out so there on there own now, these 2 also just has a small fight kind of like they were kissing, though b4 that 1 was already on its side,

they had a fight just b4 this so?

i have given them a boiled pee shelled the others in the main tank seem to be enjoying them though i gave 1 each to the sick 2, they dont see to take any notice of them, i have them in healing tanks one over the other so they can see each other, im prob going to have to come up with a method of heating there healing tanks without a heater though,

also i have given them a dose of stress coat, (reduse's stress heals healing replace slime coat also fix's tap water)

didnt mean to add that so fast ~,~
the others seem to be ok now, still watching them though,

as a nice side of it all, my old man seems to like his pee's picks it up brings it to the top drops and chase's it down to do it again lol

though dose anyone have any ideas on anything else that could help with the sick 2?

o and i only have the sick 2 in about a 1" of water so not to hard to breath, do you think i should give them 2"

Were they acting like this at the shop? What are your ammonia,ph,nitrite,nitrate readings?? Here is some info I found for you: http/www.bettatalk.com/betta_diseases.htm
Its too early to see any improvement. If your bettas do have swim bladder disorder, feed them a pea and fast them for two days. Repeat this step until improvement.
You can get some aquarium salt and some almond leaves to comfort your bettas. I would raise the water to 1.5in. Hope your betta heals!

thanks for your reply
not as much as they were when i got them home, they were very slow and not very responsive to the net, though they were very slow they were still active, thats why i took them,
his PH was well over 8, i have gotten them down to about 7.3 slowly, im about to put it down a little more,
they have started to move around again, no longer on there sides, i gave them a pea each, had the temp at 78, i have let it cool a little as i was heating the healing tank by increasing room temp, now i have another heater now, so im going to start bring it back up a little, im going to keep them in the healing tank for a little wile longer,

thinking they will make a 100% recovery

They may say that you are able to keep female Betta's together...
But it's just as bad as keeping a group of males together...
It's not a disease, it's stress that's killing these fish...and they will eventually kill eachother...
Don't keep them together any longer...
Move them all to INDIVIDUAL tanks, otherwise they're gonna fight, and you're going to have a lot of injured and dead fish on your hands...
You may think I am only making stuff up, considering my age, but I'm not.
I know this from experience...and I'm telling you now...
If you want these fish to live, seperate them...

Listen, I have 3 very healthy and very happy females together. Not a single sign of stress or disease. That's not an issue. I haven't had a bit of trouble with them since day 2. Yes, they fought day 1 but i no problems since!

Glad to hear your bettas are getting better. Yes, I agree to seperate your male bettas into different tanks unless you have a divider with many plants blocking their view from one another. Female bettas are a different story.....

lol yes i deviders in with my males so they cant get to each other, also i have plants and some decore,

females though i have them togeather, with a bit of stress meds and alot of hiding place's pretty much the only time they see any action is when im breeding them lol

the other 2 females, have made a full recovery, happy as hell swimming around the healing tank,
