Wow. Ok first i just wanted to thank everyone so much. I'm getting more
legitimate advice and help here than at the local pet store. The people at Petco actually know me as "betta-guy" because I'm calling nearly everyday for help. Haha they don't ever sound happy to talk to me either... anyway, things are looking a little bit better...and then a little bit worse. The fish that had Ich the worst is the best off now in the tank. However, the fish least effected by the Ich has developed pretty severe case of Popeye. They all seem to have finrot, but the good news is i have a heater (long overdue) they are still eating, and the one with the bad popeye, can still see and even flares the most out of all three right now. Now that it has been a couple days, i began a Maracyn-Two treatment to take care of the Fin Rot and Popeye. Haha i just hope the Ich doesnt resurface...but as long as im slowly raising the water temp. that shouldnt happen i hope. Unfortunately the local petco doesnt carry alot of the medications/water treatments you all mentioned, but i hope this will work alright in place. Again, thank you all very much, and i'll keep posting. wes the "betta guy" oh yea! one other thing...the strangest thing happened. I was out one night and I had asked someone to check up on my fish...i call up to see how things were, and they told me one of the bettas had somehow wound up in another section of the tank. as i mentioned before, its a 10 g tank divided three ways with plastic screens. i cant for the life of me figure out how this betta did this...it doesnt look like there was anyway for the one betta to dig through an inch and a half of gravel to reach the bottom of the divider...and also, there is a glass top that leaves nearly a 1/4 inch of space...i dont understand how he could have jumped out of the water and through such a small space. ive heard bettas can be little jumpers on occassion, but that seems like quite a trick. Interestingly enough, the two male bettas stayed out of there way within the same space until i got home. After watching them for a little while they began to dance around each other and flare a little, so to be safe i moved Flame back to his side, even though he probably just wanted some company haha. anyway, just thought it was an interesting story. |
