Hi posted a few questions yesterday and was wodering wheather anyone had any answers. Am going to get mthe treatment today, was also wondering if this was normal behaviour for a betta, he is either sitting on the bottom if the light isn't on and not really moving at all or going to the surface...

Yes will definately be more careful in the future. Just another couple of things should I keep the water temperature at 82 F until I treat the water tomorrow? Also should I do a water change before I treat the water if so how much 100%? And last of all if anyone has any recommendations on what...

Thanks so much for your help, the white spot on the betta have only appeared today so I presume that means it is still in the very early stages. I am going to so to my lfs and get something to treat it tomorrow. I hope that it will be ok till then!! In the mean time I have turned the tank up to...

What is wrong with the water that makes them get white spot, I don't have a water testing kit either, would it be a good idea to buy one of these as well?
