I've seen a hot pink VT betta before at pets and home :) Unfortunately missed out as when i came back in 3 days to buy it he had already been bought.

Kanaplex is working ok right now but thank you for the recommendation as myxazin (after looking up)seems easier to get hold of than the others. If kanaplex doesn't finish the job i'll look into it, nice to have another option as it seemed like i was running out of options if this one didn't...

I am not using interpret anymore due to the water changes :) i am using antibiotics

Thank you for the reply :) Yes salt does make him ill, i did use one tbsp and his face slowly went white over the period i gave it (it was my first attempt at fixing the finrot and using it during an unfortunate fish in cycle) and did not move around as much, sort of sluggish. I've given up on...

I posted a previous thread: http://www.fishforums.net/index.php?/topic/390796-bleeding-raysfin-rot-or-something-else/page__p__3283386#entry3283386 But no one has answered it. It has got really bad now and i am fighting a mini-cycle still (due to kanaplex). He is no longer biting as i am doing...

I work in healthcare and i agree with photos, they are really valuable when the older people on my ward have lost husbands/sons/wives etc. especially when they have dementia (jogging memories). Not sure if this will work: http://alzheimers.org.uk/site/scripts/documents_info.php?documentID=412...

Hello, I need some help with my tank and betta fish again. I recently got my tank nice and stable at around ammonia: 0 nitrite: 0 and nitrate around 30-40 (what comes out of the tap). He struggled with a lot of fin rot to the point he had a big streak of red in his anal fin (which followed...

Yeah i've put his light on very low now.. he does seem much better now. That's a shame i hope he grows it back =/ . He definitely ate it, the only thing i hope is that it doesn't clog up his insides as it was quite a long bit.

Ah sorry Before your post i tired getting some out and got a little bit.. it;s really long but before i could grab the rest he swallowed the lot. He is now moving his mouth a lot to breathe He is a veiltail betta His tails started splitting and he already had fin rot so i covered the tank for a...

Hi all, How can i stop this fish from doing this, is it do to stress due to a fish-in cycle? Also how can i get it out of his mouth and if he swallows it will it do any harm? His tail is in such a state from splitting and tail rot as it is :( edit: nm i think he swallowed it o.0

Oh i thought melafix (tea tree oil no?)was bad for bettas due to their type of breathing =/ that was why i ruled it out and as its just an antiseptic i believe, it will basically do the same thing as the aquarium salt? Would something like garlic etc. (keeping it natural then :P) as a boost...

Hi everyone, Got some mature media, looks like some type of medium/small rocks from a local fish store (i looked at the fish and they were all in good health) to get my cycle moving. The assistant got it from some type of collection where all the water from the tanks was running through (could...

lol We are all allowed our moments :P and i think you were the one to advise me on mature filter media in the first place anyway ;)

cool :) .. i've just found out a good shop that does mature filter material, so hopefully i'll be on my way much quicker ^^

My water is 0.25 0.o how am i suppose to do that? I've got Prime to combat this the best i can, unless there is something i am missing? Surely doing those water changes just adds water at 0.25 ammonia anyway, i would agree with you straight out if my water was 0ppm

Hi all, I'm in the process of a fish-in cycle and this has been going for nearly a month (in another two days). The tap water in my area, after testing shows about 0.25 (light green) though after leaving the mixture accidentally in the tube all night it was a yellow in the morning >.< . There...

Sorry for missing the "I" out in the title >.< Just a quick one, I'm in a fish-in cycle and my ammonia is, as expected, to climb quite high. I have been doing up to 3 times 50% water changes a day because of the ammonia. The only issue is after testing my tap water it is a definite pale green...

Hi guys :)I've got a new problem as stated below, New Fish symptoms: White string protruding between ventral fins. No change in eating or swimming habits I've tried using a pipette and water to see if it moves/ dislodges to no effect except a bit of flaring from the fish haha. I have not...

Yeah hopefully we will get an answer to this.. there is so much mixed/wrong information out there!

Hi :) Just started using Aquarium salt for my betta fish for it's fin rot. I am doing up to 3 50% water changes a day to keep toxins down (probably the primary cause)during the fish-in cycle and was wondering how much salt to add back to the tank after each one. It's about a 20m litre tank...

Ahh i'll go back to the bristol forum i was on when i was looking for ick medicine but tbh i might find a good local shop, like one of the smaller ones that knows what they are doing as i think there may be a few around here. I will do some more research, but i'll have to do this next week as i...

Thank you for helping :) I didn't know about cycling when i got the tank.. i was under pets at homes instructions and like many people feel across this site a little to late :( I would have taken him back but he was being nipped by all the fish and a lot of the fishes were in a bad way (not the...

Yeah i am patient i wasn't expecting anything for ages tbh the result just threw me a little haha Iv'e got the tank well oxygenated but not as high to annoy the betta as i heard they do not like fast currents. Right now i am trying to heal the betta's fin rot (my aquarium salts will be coming...

Tank: 25 litres, filter, heater, 1 betta fish Water results 0-0.25 (on the green side of yellow) ammonia, 0 nitrites, about 30 nitrate. (This was before a large water change) Chemicals used: Prime, filter boast (the bacteria in a bottle), until recently White spot treatment. API Master test kit...

Wish you were there when i bought my fish >.< I was told to get three oranda goldfish for my 25 litre tank... Thankfully i went for a Betta =/ and they still told me i could put him in with various fin nippers and no heater because you see "they live in small muddy puddles..." He also seemed...

I'll keep an eye on it then hopefully it's just to do with the fin rot and i'm putting in the prime tonight :) Happy New Year!

Yeah hopefully ^^ Yeah i was just worried about mixing dechlorinators that is all, so i am guessing that's fine. Im doing the 95% change tonight and changing to prime.. it is nice to see improvements in him, he is back to flaring again which i am sure he will do for the rest of the day (i've...

I'm keeping up with the water changes and my Prime arrived today and out of lack of knowledge about mixing things (i was told never) i will wait until tomorrow night when i do the big water change to get rid of the meds i will change the dechlorinator to prime. Hopefully that will help with his...

sorry for the double post.. There seems to be maybe a start of fin breakage on his anal fin =/ it has gone slightly see-through (the colour is still there ) but shows when he is in front of the light where it connects to the body. It is recent and hope it is nothing to do with the treatment :(...

Thank you for getting back to me :) sure i'll keep up what i am doing then.

Yeah ok.. thought that was the best thing to do as i do not want to leave it in there (to kill the fish) or really start the treatment again. I'm sort of got my nurse's head on right now and i wouldn't want to cut treatment short due to resistance =/ unless i had to (if one of your guys said as...

Yeah i am sure as i can be it is ich, it is small white lumps over the fish like little grains or salt. I've already started the treatment and only did a 50% change, maybe more since :( but i replaced the amount of meds i took out. I turned up the temperature but i will raise it even higher to...

I've got the white spot treatment so i'm going to put it in tonight (do a 50% change before etc.) when i changes the water to keep the ammonia down should i add more treatment in as i have no choice but to do water changes until my prime arrives as i can't find any right now

I've been testing them throughout each day.. about four times but what i can remember mostly after the change but i do clean the tubes out with tap water and dry them off.. are you thinking cross contamination from the previous tests? How do you clean the liquid tests tubes? :) P.S Oh i did a...

Ah well lower ammonia will have to do for now until the betta is better. Haha i've looked at pets at home (the one that i bought him from funnily enough..) and they aren't open until the 27th, Cadbury garden centre is but doesn't seem to sell anything but the stress coat and that's a long way to...

Yeah i can get some stress coat or prime instead as im sure i've seen at least stress coat around though in my case prime probably would be better so i'll keep my eye out when i go for the meds. I sort of knew where you were coming about the ammonia but i'm stuck not being able to buy anything...

Tbh right now if a shop is open i'm getting their white spot treatment, ill get that one or the King British one but can it wait til the 27th? I looked it up and i can't seem to find anything on the chloramine in bristol that i understand, i've got a filter boast for ammonia right now called...
