Yes, I absolutely will! I had a full-on funeral for my first snail when he died; I couldn't send Sushi off with any less! I haven't quite decided where I'll bury him yet...he's securely wrapped and in my freezer until I do. :(

Sadly, my sweet Sushi died today. Thank you everyone who responded to this and offered advice. It's been difficult to see him struggle, but it's difficult to say goodbye too. When I got him 2 years ago I never would have believed someone could get attached to a fish, but I cried like I had lost...

where did you get the flukeworm treatment? Was it expensive?

Thanks for the continuing advice, he is still hanging on! I do have the carbon out right now, but I'm not going to continue the tetracycline treatment anymore. I just don't see that it's doing anything for him, and I can't see him well to tell how he's doing when the water is so colored...

Aw, little piggy betta! I have had a male for two years, and they can definitely do that. How do you feed her? Do you have other fish that you're feeding at the same time? It's best to feed bettas around two pellets twice a day, that way they get enough but they're not getting too much all at...

Thank you for your input. At this point that's all I can conclude, because I think surely one of all these medications would have helped him by now. I just want to know I did everything I could if he dies. I don't think I could bring myself to euthanize him but he just looks so sad and...

HELP!!!!! No one has replied to this post yet so I'm adding a picture of my poor Sushi that will hopefully inspire some sympathy! Please don't judge the care of my fish by this photo; he is very sick and the water is red from the tetracycline. I promise I take good care of my fish! I can't...

Please, please, please, someone tell me how I can help my poor sick betta! I have done everything I know to do and he's just not getting better. Here are the specs: I've had my crowntail betta, Sushi, for about 2 years, but he could be older. He lives in a 5 gallon tank, a Fluval Edge. I looked...
