What type of additives do you add to the water when you perform a water change? Stress Coat, AQ salt, and fungus treatment (for the fin rot)
Water Parameters:
Have you tested your water? If so, what are the following parameters?
Has not been tested for his tank, but use the same water with all my fish. Don't think the problem is water related...
Symptoms and Treatment
How has your betta fish's appearance changed? at first clamped fins, after treatment he is skinny, a little pale
How has your betta fish's behavior changed? still active, but has refused to eat since fin rot
When did you start noticing the symptoms? the day I took him home from the pet store (with complaints...lol)
Have you started treating your fish? If so, how? Treated with 1 tsp of AQ salt, & anti fungus treatment. Also 100% water changes every 24 hrs
Does your fish have any history of being ill? Unkown
How old is your fish (approximately)? Fairly young, probably around 5-6 months
Concern:
He has not eaten since I brought him home last week, although the fin rot/clampage has recovered quickly. I have tried 2 kinds of pellets, 3 kinds of flakes, freeze dried bloodworms, and even live mosquito larvae, which have ALWAYS worked for me when dealing with picky fish...
I can't get to the store until tomorrow (maybe frozen bloodworms or something else would help?), any other suggestions to coax him to eat?
