Symptoms and Treatment
How has your betta fish's appearance changed? She looks perfectly fine other than a parasite or egg poop
How has your betta fish's behavior changed? Lethargic, breathing heavily, not eating
When did you start noticing the symptoms? 2 days ago
Have you started treating your fish? If so, how? Clean water, qt, and aq salt 1 tsp/gal. She was on General Cure for parasites but we did a 95% water change on the sorority after the dose was done when we noticed she was breathing heavily
Does your fish have any history of being ill? Fungus issue that took a week with aq salt at 3 tsp/gal to resolve, parasites at the end of last week.
How old is your fish (approximately)? Mature adult
Is she having a bad reaction to the General Cure? I would think she would have improved a little bit since she's been on straight water and conditioner (same brand we've always used) a day before the rest of the girls.
