Help

[liz2]

Ghost has been treated with white spot stuff and I cant see any more spots. He is now laying on bottom of tank on side, his fins are split..can I do anything to help him cos he keeps looking at me with sad eyes!

Sounds like he could have a secondary infection which sometimes happens. I'm assuming you have salt in the tank with him? Perhaps a little melafix if you have it? I've used it before with whitespot treatment with good effect.

I put some interpet 9 in for internal systemic bacterial infections as he had bloodstreaks under the skin surface last night I think the streaks have gone..would you put him in clean water with a bit of salt...I am now stumped.

 

[Joby]

He needs to stay in the anti-bacterial treatment now as you've only just added it. Is the treatment for the Whitespot finished? Maybe he's just working hard now fighting the infection. I wouldn't add anymore meds right now just let the ones you've used work on him.

Thanks for reply. Just leaving him now he doesnt look good though.

Hope he pulls through for you Liz

Too late...just looked at him and think he is dead....he was breathing about 5 minutes ago but think he has stopped...will leave him in tank for today...I am going to stop buying bettas that dont look tip top.I reckon I have spent about £25 on bettas that werent good and they died...

Sorry to hear it Liz

Sometimes they've been through so much that the meds they desperately need is just too much for their tired bodies
