Sick vacation fish

[aokashi]

I left Shiro, my dark bodied female betta juvie with my good friend before I went back to Australia for 6 weeks. 3.5 weeks in, she has ich (again!) T_T I feel bad that shiro's causing stress for her. My friend was also very metoculous about keeping to the feeding instructions. I really wanted this to be a positive experience for her....

But for now, shiro's to be in a 1/4 gallon with salt, to be changed out twice a day.

awww poor girl, i hope she gets rid of the ick fast

She looks so -tiny- in that jug!

Poor lil fish, I hope she gets well soon. Must be hard, being halfway across the planet and your fish gets sick. :(

At least it's only ich, easily cured!

I think it's not the early stages any more. My friend had been going through some pretty rough things this past week, and i don't think she noticed. I'm more worried for my friend if Shiro passes. just too many consecutive unfortunate events.

Well, hopefully Shiro will get better with just the salt and twice daily WCs.
