Ich/Fungus. Am I treating it right?

[TianTian]

Oh, okay. :) Well at least I'm now aware of something I should always look for.

He's doing better. I didn't use the fungus tablet yet just because I haven't seen the fungus floating around. Maybe the water changes have been helping?

He hangs out in his plant for hours on end, though. The water temp. is 76 degrees F. so I know it's not cold for him.

Is the fungus stuff you see floating around kind of like whitish stuff? I used to have stuff floating around in my first betta's bowl and figured out that it was from the Stress Coat that I was using as my water conditioner. I changed conditioners after that. The aloe vera was causing the water to get gunky.

Hmmm.... maybe. :o
Also, he refuses to eat his pellets completely now. :( I'm going out of town for the weekend. Should I be worried?

[Nataku]

Bettas can go several weeks without eating, I wouldn't be worried about his lack of food over the weekend.

Whew! Came back from my weekend trip and Tian-Tian is still here. He got so excited to see me come through the door. XD

But he still isn't eating. It's been almost 5 whole days! D:
