I sprayed once on the carpet by my bed (a little bit away) because I didn't want anything to get in his tank but I also knew my mom would throw a fit it the fish smell permeated at all (it hasn't, but the smell good disappeared)
Goldfish will die too, especially in a 10g or smaller! Go hank... you can do it!Okay I have good news! I talked to my mom about the medicine and she's okay with it. My LPS closes in 4 minutes so unfortunately I can't get it tonight, but tomorrow after class and Hank's dailies I can call ahead and set out for it! If the store doesn't have any though, it may be some time before shipping can get to us
She's still convinced that Hank is as good as dead and tried to talk me into euthanizing him and getting goldfish, but luckily she didn't push back against the treatment. Let's go Hank! Prove my mom wrong!
If he is completely upside down, I’m starting to think there is something wrong with his swim bladder.
Why do you always jump to that conclusion so fast? You did it with my betta also...
Didn't yours get better for a couple of weeks and then die?
We are going to push through as best we can. No need for negativity until we know for certain that continued treatment isn't the best option for him
To the last part about him hitting his head, he had gotten spooked and was doing a frantic swim, but something is wrong and he did an arc instead of moving across the tank. He was still trying to swim to correct himself as he went down, so unfortunately be got knocked hard enough that I was worried he killed himself as he couldn't move for a little bit after. It was really really sad to watch, I think he may have somewhat of a lean that caused it. Either that or his fins may be damaged. The edges were pure white but now they're closer to clear, so I can't hardly tell where the edges of his fins are anymoreI take it "tact" is not a word that's in your vocabulary, @Colin_T ?
However. . .
I do think we have to face the possibility that Colin's right.
Leaving the previous Betta in the tank overnight and not draining the water and disinfecting the tank could certainly be the cause of some of the problems you're seeing now, certainly.
Eating a rock, given the fact he hasn't are anything else, is almost encouraging. Almost. I wonder if it's got caught in the gut and caused severe constipation? He might not then want to eat.
I wonder how hard a fish could bang its head, unless he swam right into it? If it was aimless, I'd have thought the water would certainly have slowed down his descent.
Yes, he did. But you said as soon as the say the big fungus infection on his side, “That betta is going to die soon, it’s best to just euthanize him”
