Sick New Betta

[flamelillies]

does it look fluffy at all? i'd get some finrot/fungus treatment just incase but fresh clean water should do the trick

any chance you could get a picture of him?

Thanks - I added Interpet Anti Fungus and Fin Rot treatment and some aquarium salt too - the water is fresh yesterday, amm and nit levels are both 0. Temp 25C.

I will do a pic now and put it up = he sure looks sadder than sad... please tell me honestly once you see him if you think he has a fighting chance and if not - whats is the kindest way to end his misery...

oh also not fluffy at all

Thanks so much for your help again and patience - so I have given the tank salt and fin rot treatment = how much water change daily? The fin rot treatment says to retreat after 7 days ... well done on Raja - hes lovely - can i ask why the water seems tanned in colour...

 

[lilfishie]

it was because there was wood in the tank before it broke.

i'm tempted to say 50% daily but see how 25% goes

great will do, thanks. I have bogwood in with him too so waiting for the water to change - it still leaks even having been soaked for weeks!
since I have only had him a few days - would this rot have come with him from the pet shop? or stress from being moved and new tank mates etc

 

[lilfishie]

more than likely the store then the stress brought it out more.

I'm really sorry to hear what happened to your betta. It sounds like the same thing that happened to mine before I got spear.. Two days went by and he was fine then the third day half his fins were gone. I switched him to a hospital tank and he died the next morning

Turns out he actually had a very bad case of columaris.. Life can be very cruel sometimes..
