Hello, We got a betta fish - a dragon scale male, in October. Its a 3 gallon aquafarm - Back to the roots tank. We have a heater in the tank for him.
We noticed a couple weeks ago that he had a yellow shiny coat on his body (he is blue with red fins), he was not swimming at all, just floating on the surface and his fins did not look normal either. Did one dose (5 days) of Furan-2 treatment with all the recommended water changes based on LFS.
Now, the yellow in his body seems to have reduced. But he is still not swimming around. Just floating in one corner of the tank, where we feed him. We feed him dry pellets. 4-5 pellets twice a day. The only time he even seems to be moving is when we go to feed him.
I called the fish food store, they just asked me to repeat this Furan-2 treatment till he is normal again.. Is this the right approach ? Should I change meds / add epsom salt etc and see ? Any tips is helping Dragon feel betta again is appreciated!
Thanks !
