OK, I know my betta has a 1% chance of survival (she has shown the symptom dropsy for 2 days now, and hasn't eaten for 3 days) but I would still like to try to save her....
I hate how her symptoms came on so suddenly!!!!!!!!! I wonder whether I could have done anything @ all! I noticed a wk ago that she was getting finrot. I put her in the hospital tank with bettafix. Her behaviour was the same, constantly begging for food/active. Then 3 days later, with no warning...... dropsy.. What did I do wrong???
I have added aquarium salt/maracyn 2 to her hospital tank (2.5 gallon), and lowered the water level. I have also added some IAL to increase her comfort...
I do have a question though: I've read online that I should be using epsom salt instead of aquarium salt and vice versa.......... What is the truth in that?
