Fish Aficionado
Nother Wal-Mart "must drag home" guy.
He has a pretty severe case of ick and some pretty severe eye damage. I didn't know why the eyes would be that way - til I got him home and opened up his cup. The water was RANCID. It smelled like rotten eggs. I almost threw up. I'm assuming that the eyes were damaged from the toxicity of the water? There was oodles of junk in it.. as you can see:
If I had to guess, I'd say that water hadn't been changed out in at LEAST a week.
I filled up a little mini betta keeper (I think it holds about 1/2 gallon) and got him some maracide for the ick and lots of stress coat.
If anyone has any suggestions for the eyes I'd love to hear them - I didn't add any salt because I was afraid I might irritate his already damaged eyes.
I think I'll toss in some colloidal, too, and hope for the best.
oh, and in case anyone's wondering - I already called and chewed some ass at WalMart too.
