Ooh, thanks for the info on the MelaFix. I'll stop that right away. That's all the same fish. The other is reddish, too, but not as sickly as the one I added pics of. He's (#2) already looking better this morning--his color is coming out and he's showing off his fins. Last night: Today...

I rescued two male bettas from Walmart tonight. I talked to the manager, pointing out that several had the starts of fin rot/melt, but apparently, they don't do water changes. She'll set them aside and they might give them some medicine. <grrrrrr> I only had two free hospital tanks, so I...

Yes, we plan on getting more as soon as the local pet store stocks them. :)

Hi all! My son has a 10 gallon tank that contains 4 small rosy red minnows and a kuhli loach. He previously had a rescued female betta in there too, but she was thriving too much (aka, getting fat eating all of the food lol), so went into her own home last night. Now my son is talking about...

No, I have a little corner filter. I left the rock/ceramic media as/is and changed the filter media. I also added bacteria supplement just to be sure and let it run overnight before adding the other fist back.

Ahh, I'm trying to grow some plants. Right now the front two are empty since my seedlings died.

I have moved her back into the tank a few days ago and she is doing great. Poor Donna can't seem to get a moment's peace today, though. Everyone keeps coming up and 'sniffing' her belly (even one of the shrimp), so I think she's very close. Exciting times!

She's still in her hospital bowl and swimming along, fat and happy with a good appetite. None of the scales on her side or back are sticking out, and it looks like the scales on her chest/tummy aren't sticking out as far as they were Sunday night. I'm pretty sure she's quite pregnant--her...

That is wonderful to hear! Thank you!

For the last week, Donna has acted like she was ready to give birth (gradually growing belly, hanging out by the filter, not eating much, nipping at the other fish who come near, etc). Last night I noticed that some of the scales on her chest are sticking out, and my son (13 years old and fish...
