ya dane u might wanna starte treating ur other betta, ya dunno wether its contagious or sumthin. sry for ur loss, u tryed.

 

[Dane]

yeah

Should I just put melafix in his tank?

 

[rykitten]

Dane, how long did you have him?

 

[GuppyDude]

yea, i would treat the other male with melafix and salt for about a week, with a 50% water change and the addition of more but slightly less melafix every other day.

 

[Dane]

alright, sounds good. thank you SOOOO much for all your help

 

[GuppyDude]

ya np

 

[Dane]

i put some melafix in his tank, now i'll go and buy some aquarium salt once the store by me opens, (they closed at 5) So i'll have to go tomorrow.

 

[GuppyDude]

5? thats lame, they're userally open to 8 around here

 

[Dane]

yeah they're normally open until 9, but there's this stupid convention going on with the whole election, the city's going crazy.

 

[fourplayfishy]

depending on how hardy ur other one is if it is contagious it should be fine... mines went down but hes being a little idiot and playing hide and go seek

 

[Dane]

Yeah, I miss Crim.. he was a gorgeous strong solid burnt orange delta tail crown his eyes were cool. the top half where red the bottom half were blue... he was a special boy... he was loved

 

[Dane]

oo.. here's a picture of him, before he got sick...


he's not flairing or anything...

 

[GuppyDude]

He was a pretty fish sry we couldn't save him

this just happened to one of my new females that i got last week.
she looked very healthy and fiesty when i got her. suddenly her gills became very red and now it she is beginning to pinecone
she has methylene blue in her tank but im afraid she wont make it

 

[GuppyDude]

im sry jac, if u read back u can c dane tryed melafix and it helped a lil, but i dont think it did the trick. u could try bettamax if its much different
