u said you werent sure if it was a boy or girl why dont you post some pics and we will see if we can find out

 

[Night61]

the divider touches the top of the hood, if you looked at the picture you can see it touches the top of the tank. . however the suggestion earlier of a spare divider is a good one.


no one has answered question is my treatment of Rayne melafix and aquarium salt is ok?

dilute the melafix or you could end up killing her! or buy bettafix

You need 5 drops of Bettafix for every one drop of Melafix. I am not as stupid as you would like everyone to think.

the damage

That'll heal quick enough with the melafix/bettafix and aquarium salt will also help too

I'm not convinced thats a male?? How long have you had him?

Yeah this is why I asked for pictures it sounded like something wasnt quite right do you have pics of your girl as well please. Im also not 100% that that is a boy...

 

[Night61]

that's my female actually. i have had her for about a year. i bought her from wal*mart when she was still very young. i bet she is full grown. she is the one who jumped to go after her neighbor who is this fella.

Oh ok well that is def a boy. tell you what can you get some close up pictures of the "female" that we're not sure about perhaps when she is flaring. There is a chance it could be a boy as well. Although it doesnt look too PKish pet stores tend to sell male PK's as females.

Can i just say that accidents happen I've had bettas jump through the smallest gaps, gaps that you couldn't have imagined they could even fit in to even without jumping. The good thing is no serious harm was done

I've had females do escape tricks out of chimneys that are about 6" above the water level!

LOL that'll explain it then Sailor. I thought we were talking about 2 males. Doh, i really should concentrate when i'm reading.

thanks bronze. i really respect you and Netty's opinions so saying that this has happened before is a relief. i am glad not much damage was done, but will be sealing that screen mesh tomorrow once i get to the hardware store. hopefully she has learned her lesson for a little bit. too.

And for some reason I thought she was beat up from a breeding attempt I have no idea why clearly I have stayed up too late! im sure she will be fine ! sorry that im useless and not with it at all haha!

hopefully that helps, she is a puzzle to me. but she is also my oldest betta.

Looks female to me Sailornight and don't worry.......as Bronze said we've had females get through the most impossible gaps. When we set up our first sorority tank one of the girls got through the tiny gap that the wires go through at the back of the tank, and we found her on the floor in the morning.......these things do happen to most of us.

Her fin doesn't look too bad and will heal up in no time

i am glad its not that bad, i have had her the longest and since she was a little thing. i was surprised and upset to find her on Jasper's side.

i guess she liked his side of the tank better since its brighter. silly fish.
