Um....betta almost down....

[freshmike]

So...I am feeding the bedroom bettas today and what do I see, but the only betta that is officially mine almost dead on the bottom of his tank ....He was completely FINE yesterday

His eye is popped out so much more than I have EVER seen an eye popped out and the whole side of his face is swollen...he is still active at times....looks better than when he was on the bottom of the tank...anyone know what this is? Sorry if it is a little graphic.

I am treating him with pimafix and melafix at the moment....ugh, this sucks so bad...

If you have any suggestions PLEASE share.

Yikes! Looks like a job for Maracyn-Two! Poor guy. How the hell did he get that? Your tanks are always immaculate. Good luck with the treatment. Please keep us posted!

[Auratus]

That is the creepiest thing I've ever seen. I feel so bad for Frank....

Thats exactly what happened to my 3 1/2 year old betta right before he passed away. I used melafix, salt, and jungle fizz tabs.

Good luck!
