Okay, so - after having read that I still think I'm on the right track.
I have the Maracide in the tank but not yet the tetracycline.
I just turned on the light and looked in on him, and he slowly came over to greet me so he's not completely out of it. He's also still eating.
Do you think I shouldn't go ahead with the tetracycline?

Aaah - I see.
Popeye comes along with a whole slew of other things - it's usually something that crops up because of something else. It could be the bacterial infection coming out there - in fact, one major sign of bact. infection is one or both eyes swollen.
I'm really glad you shared that article, though...
harvey at home has had these weird white tough pieces of skin protruding around his eyes since I got him several months ago. I wondered what it was all along - they never got any better or worse. I wonder if I ran him thru a course of light popeye meds if that would go away...? Like I said, it never gets worse or better, really - just seems to always stay the same.
Hrmph - maybe ONE day I"ll have 4 perfectly healthy betta boys.
Wow, what will I do with all my time then?
Probably write more nasty letters to WalMart.
hee hee hee

Yep, they're the reason Jasper had all his troubles.
I guess it's lucky that he wound up with someone (ME) who would take the time to look into why he was so sick. I think most people would have given up on him. Maybe. I don't know - right now he's exploring his little tank. I just need to get Amos back on the mend.
The meds are all in his tank.
Are higher temps good for tetracycline?
He's at 82 now.

Allrighty!
I'll leave the poor little guy alone now.
He's hiding up in the corner.
I just hope he can snap out of this. He's always been a VERY happy healthy little guy - until recently. He was the first betta I ever got, also.

Hmm.
It's odd, it's only a few hours since Amos was acting so completely sick and he's now back up and swimming around as if nothing ever happened.
How fast can meds kick in?
Wow, that's odd.

Not that fast but carry on with the treatment, you should always carry on with treatments for a week longer with antibiotics to make sure it has completely gone, fish don't you just love them.

My first thought was...
"That little sh!t... he was jealous of the attention Jasper has been getting!"
He has been thru alot with the moving around of tanks and such, though.
He's staring at me right now. I think he's reading the screen, so I have to go now before he reads it all. lol
