The Problem with Bettas

[ChoclateBetta]

I would find it a good home if ot lives. Things like goldfish are bad for turtles plus it might get loaded with dangerous chemicals.

I live in a dorm and so far nobody I know owns fish besides me....and I surely can't keep it. This is also the turtle that attacked a crawfish and ate it up lol. Which is why I might just get a minnow...the goldfish are pretty big.

Please keep Leo in your thoughts....he's going round two with Velvetl. He's gonna kick that parasites butt! Fight on, little man.

[sunstar93]

Don't get what?

[ChoclateBetta]

Nevermind. IAL help stop Parasites. You might want to figure out the stresser.

He got it because I (stupidly) thought I had cleaned the tank well en

He got it because I (stupidly) thought I had cleaned the tank well enough after housing little rescue in it. The rescue died and he had velvet and I thought that just hot water would fix it....but Leo still got it.
I cranked up the heat to 86 degrees, using maracide, 2 taps AQ salt and keeping his QT tank dark with a towel

You sound like a good Betta owner. You figured out the problem. I sometimes forget water changes.

Thanks! I'm just worried about him now since it has spread to his ventral fins and past his gills...I feel bad leaving him in the dark but it's best right now!
Lol I sometimes forget too...and then hurry up and do extra haha.
