Nooo, Lotus Has Popeye!

[Loops]

Thanks both, thought it would be nice to post a video instead of photos for a change.

I have read that his eye may stay like it is or he may even lose it, but i really don't care. I will be just glad he survives!

I went to him today and he had even made a bubble nest so think he is feeling alot better. He had bloodworm today for a treat, trying to get me to give him more but i will not be overfeeding as that is a possible cause.

my vt doesnt look like lotus does in your sig, he rarely flares his fins, usually just his cheeks

just trying to load the video (poop dongle) but i got to the bit where lotus comes to you and flares, do you have a mirror on the camera?

lmao yes i suppose he is. he isnt old, but VERY laid back. he is the one who ALWAYS comes to the front of the tank and will eat from my hand. he is very difficult to get to flare lol (wonder if he'd be the same with another betta (real) lol

probably why he can cope in a community tank lol

yup,,,my non-flaring boy is in a 6 gal community. he loves to snuggle with the cories on thier down time, follows them when they are active. ignores all the snails and the otos. he is a very mellow dude. the other boys i have...different story. one flares for hours a day at everything in the tank. bubbles form the sponge filter, the plants, the snails if htey are climbing the sides..just about anything!
cheers

I have two tanks in my room, the other tank light goes of first which seems to give alot of reflection in Lotus's tank, so he starts flaring away. He sometimes flares at me when i go to the tank too!! but then he just thinks about food and keeps opening he mouth at me!!

lol bless him, he is an unusual one. is he classed as a marble VT then?

i find it really cute that they have the same colours on their beard, Terry has two orange dots on his

 

[loraxchick]

hes not really a marble. hed be a dalmation VT..seen them a lot lately in my parts. his finnage is amazing

Yeah I have been told he is a dalmation.

His eye looks a little better today, his scales are no longer sticking out so looks like the treatment has made a difference! yipppppppeeeee xx
