NEED INSTANT HELP!!!!!

[Rodders]

CAME IN WITH TREATMENT BUT HES LIKE THIS, CAN MY BETTA BE SAVED? HES STILL MOVING JUST, DOESNT LOOK GOOD, OR SHALL I DO THE RIGHT THING.....??

 

[WILDER]

He looks terrible he has a second infection with finrot.

 

[Rodders]

SHALL I (NOT BEING CRUEL) END HIS LIFE?

 

[WILDER]

I don't like to have to do it, but his fins have gone raggy, and second infections are hardier to cure, is he really weak.

 

[Rodders]

HES JUST LAYING ON HIS SIDE, JUST BREATHING, THATS ALL. THINK IM GONNA GO BE CRUEL TO BE KIND.

ALL CAUSE OF THOSE STUPID CARDINALS I PUT IN, HALF OF THEM ARE DEAD TOO!!!!

I DONT PERSONALLY THINK I CAN SAVE HIM EITHER, HE IS SO WEAK.

Sorry, to be honest he's not going to make it, leave the decision to you, as you no the fish better than me, sorry i no how you feel.

 

[WILDER]

If you lose all the cardinals, you are not going to like this, but I would strip the tank down and start again, by sterilsing everything, and even throwing all the filter sponges away.

 

[Rodders]

My other fish are fine at the mom but something doesnt seem right?!?!?!?!? i expected 1-2 from transprt stress, but not dieing 3 days on...........

 

[WILDER]

Sounds like you got a bad batch, do they show the same symtoms as the other fish.

 

[Rodders]

ones lost a bit of blue. but they all seem fine, they just die in seconds!!

 

[WILDER]

How long have you had them, did you acclimatise them right.

 

[Rodders]

put them in on sunday, left em in bag for 10-20mins, added some of my water to back, left for another 10-20 mins. then let them swim out.

the one thats lost a bit of blue doesnt look to strong now, dont think hes gonna last!

 

[WILDER]

If he's gone pale that is stress, what your water stats, just to make sure.

 

[Rodders]

shall i put anything in the water. I was using melafix from yesturday, all i had, and got the internal bacteria on on way home tonight.
