    AWW DAMN. I have a female, she can’t swim properly, so I’ve been moving her to the top of the tank to get air. although I can’t do this all day, do you think I can put her on a “raft” to stay moist and breathe air? I have medication in the water.

    Dear all people with sick fish,
    dont flush it down the tolet or whatever you do unless you have triend everything. there are lots of medication that can help it if you find the illness. like if your fishes fins are together then there decaying, you can go to the petstore and get some medcine if you tell them whats wrong and usually you find the right medication and you,ll fish is back to ricovery.

    i think my fish just died….
    its tail started to rot 3 days and turned black overnight. i was only able to try water changes. i didnt have time to try anything else. he was my first betta and its really depressing. i only had him for a week and two days and from the first day i got him he didnt want to eat. the one thing he bit he spit right away. i tried flakes pellets and worms. i got to name it Alpha.
    i want to get another one but i want to educate myself first.

  • killakiddavid164 said:

    Can tell me what my fish had and how i could have treated it and/or prevented it.

    p.s. he had started nesting.

  • Sahira8CiCi said:

    if u had a raft wouldn’t she float to the top and dry out? \BTW I know that reply was from 4 months ago, but this is to prevent future plans like that.
