[dramaqueen]

I know that temperature fluctuations can cause finrot but we can rule that out because you keep your temp at 80 all the time.

Dude you need to realise that this has nothing to do with the medication. You have been medicating him for a week. This is because any medicine will not do it's job if you aren't doing yours. Had he been in a clean, warm tank the medicine would have been able to work.

I understand you were unable to provide the right conditions for him when he got sick, but you need to understand the importance of good tank conditions if you want to keep any fish successfully.


Dramaqueen:

When I wake up, his temp is 75 and torwards the end of the day, it is 80 degreese.

Thanks for your help and thanks for not getting angry at me like the people on UB. I cleaned his tank yesterday and he got really stressed over that.

When you have a bigger tank it willbe easier to clean with a gravel vacuum, which won't stressyour betta.

Yeah hopefully he will still be here on my birthday. He is not improving at all. Everytime my parents see him laying down, they think he is dead but he isn't.
