The mystery of the ich: SOLVED

[crowntail lover]

I am so happy Tian Tian is doing well!! I love that little guy!!

Wait you drink that water!!! That's just gross.

Melted Butter!!!!!

[crowntail lover]

lol! MrVampire! Your funny!

[ifish]

its bad for bettas not us and the fish fourm isnt fun people arnt as nice as they arre here

[5green]

you can get spring or bottled water w/out chemicals

[dramaqueen]

Yeah, but that can get rather costly if you have a lot of bettas.

[ifish]

or you can get a fliter for your water?

Wow, that's wierd about the water :S

I'm really glad that you figured it out though! How great to have someone knowledgeable in your area to help you :) I hope that Tian-Tian gets completely back to normal after the move.

Oh, I just had a thought, maybe a UV sterilizer would work. You could get a holding tank (10 gallon tanks are cheap) and run it on that, then when you do water changes you could take the water from that tank. It would definitely be more cost effective than trying to run a UV sterilizer on each tank if you end up with multiple bettas and it should kill any bacteria that are present in the water.

Good idea, Kim!

[ifish]

good idea but if she had a 10 gallon why wouldnt she just put tian-tian in it but hey tharts a good idea
