So I was in my local pet super store today, and I was looking through the bettas, as I do every time... And I found two boys with SBD, so, being helpful, I took them to the guy working in fish and informed him they were unhappy. I asked what they did with fish who were sick and was horrified when he felt the need to make a toilet flushing sound in response... Needless to say I went and spoke to the manager and told her about the situation, and she allowed me to adopt the two boys for a dollar each, and one is a $15 DbTHM, the other is just a DbT. I am pleased that I got them at a discount, but seriously... They should not be in such condition anyway.
So, one boy is just somewhat floaty, and can stay upright mostly, but will float practically belly up when he sits still, this is him:
But the other boy is much worse off... With a sore on his side from floating and being exposed to the air for too long. Poor thing. :
I am doing an Epsom salt treatment for both boys, and have also added rooibos to their water to help with their recoveries!
