Other chemicals may also be causing similar problems too. Its been suggested that the bleach used to whiten disposable nappies can cause cancer and infertility especially in boys so if we are using such chemicals in cleaning products God knows what its doing to the environment as it goes back...

Been trying so hard to ignore this thread but its no good! Pmed you Daz! :rolleyes:

Hi If I were you Id move or re post this in the Emergencies section as you will probably get answered quicker and with the best info. :good:

Nice to see you back! How are you? :good:

Dont agree with breeding an culling but Nettys suggestion is a good one. If she cant release the eggs herself then a bath in Epsom salts may help.

So sorry to hear that, Ive just lost nearly all my females so I know how you feel. :sad:

Yes I lost a female a few weeks ago who was completely egg bound. :sad:

that was my first thought but as we don't know for sure I think we should give her a chance. :good:

ROFL just coz I act blonde from time to time! :lol:

Come on Tibby, its not like you to be shy Lol!!!

Thats awful news about Deefus she was so lovely and carried on regardless. Ive had a really bad time lately and on hearing that she has died it has put things in perspective and made me realise how lucky I am. The photos I put on of me was when I was full of cold and looking not so good so...

Beautiful looking tank and great photos. :good:

Yeah he does you lucky thing! :drool:

Think the fairy shrimp is more for the babies than conditioning the adults. :good:

Yes and everything is fine, but Ive done a big water change and hoovered the gravel anyhow. The first girl who died very suddenly after having her for 2 weeks was then half eaten by the others so maybe they caught something from her that has taken another 2 weeks to come out. I also added some...

thought Id found the answer then! My Hm is a bit brighter today and she has eaten a little baby pellet food so thats good but one of her pop eyes is now filling up with bright red blood which looks awful. The other slightly poorly VTs are now taking baby pellet food too but one of them is...

Ok I have just gone to take a snail out of their tank and noticed the water was warmer than normal. I popped a thermometer in and I think the thermostat on the heater is not working properly as the water temp is 28 (82). Could this explain why they have been so ill and dying?

Lol! I could only count one missing! :lol: Thanks for the advice. :good:

Interpet Anti internal bacteria in the main tank and Ive used a combination of Myaxin and epsom salts on the ones I took out o0f the main tank to treat their various problems. I did have a new girl that after 2 weeks suddenly die without symptoms and now a couple of weeks later this despite...

Looks like an internal bacteria thing thats going on to cause Dropsy. The rate they are going down with it despite treating the tank I wouldnt risk any new fish in there until its steralised.

Ive had a really bad couple of days with some of my girls dying and the rest looking like they are going the same way. :-( Anyway Im going to have to steralize their 70L tank and was wondering if I should throw the filter media away too incase or just steralize the rest of the tank and leave...

Thanks, I will. Apart from her huge tummy she looked perfect thats why I wondered if it was something else. My copper girl is in a seperate tank now but Ive also treated the big tank to help stop it from spreading. Her tummy is not that big but she looks pineconed all over, her fins are clamped...

Well my female Ct has just died :sad: I know it sounds awful but I cut her open to see what the swelling is and it was an anormous sack of eggs. If she was egg bound what could I have done for her? Im sure the others that died and my other poorly girl is down to internal bacteria though and the...

Thanks for the advice, I shall try that now.

No it was just luke warm. Should I do a water change and then dose again? Dis the first dose last night but it says not to do again till the 4th day

70 litre 8 female Bettas, 1 albino cory, snails! Water stats are all spot on. No flicking or rubbing Cant see any excess mucas The fish poo is normal in the healthy ones but I cant get the sick ones to poo so cant tell. No scales sticking out but one of them is exteremely bloated and neither...

A couple of weeks ago I found one of my females dead and half eaten and yet she had shown no signs of illness. Yesterday I noticed one of my others acting rather scared and hiding so I seperated her and she has gone from bad to worse, clamped fins, looking pale and trying to hide where ever she...

I think a couple of my females have dropsy and they are looking worse by the minute despite treting with anti internal bacteria meds. Was thinking of trying epsom salts but where do I buy it from?

I always buy baby sterilizing fluid and let it soak over night. You then have to rinse it very very well and then let it soak again with water and loads of dechlorinator.Hope that helps.

You should never keep males with females. Females are best kept in groups of at least 5 depending on the size of the tank as it spreads the aggression out and they are less likely to fight each other.

So sorry he died. :sad:

Amazing photos! Wish my camera was that good and that I was better at taking photos!

Siamese fighters or fighter fish are another name for Bettas so If shes a cambodian Fighter and looks like that picture then yes she is a Cambodian Betta! :good:

What you have described sounds like a Cambodian Betta, she may just be very young or just has stunted growth like me lol! :lol: Can you post a photo?
