Really bad. It started simple within a week then more bloating. I used what pets mart suggested to medicate her. I did the blanched pea. Fasted her and then she stayed in the corner of the tank nose up the surface mouth open sucking air. She started getting the spiked scale look. She just was...
Update I finally had to put her down yesterday. My vet did it for me so I know it was humanly done. I miss her so much
After everything towards the end she wouldn't close her mouth just kept sucking air and her scales poked out. I had her 1 1/2 years. I was hoping for 5-6 years. Nothing was...

She swimming a little more once in a while. Her fast day was over and gave her a quarter of the inside pea. She gobbled that right up. I made them real small each section I gave her so she take each right in. Then in the evening I gave her a very small piece of a thawed blood worm. She enjoyed...
I know now that my betta female has that bladder problem. I have fasted her but day two gave her a small piece of inside pea. She is doing a little better but think she was suppose to fast three days then on fourth the pea. I am so confused and can't stand not feeding her. Anyway I attached a...
For three days my betta just lays on a leaf close to the top of warer level to get a air bubbles. She looks a little bloated in the front view. She only gets 3 small pellets a day that I soak prior to feeding her. Sometimes I will even skip a day. I tried to give her a blanched pea but she won't...
I have had a moss ball with my betta for a while. I have added Alge fix due to the problem in my tank. The weather is warmer and it seems to be a little problem even with pwc every two weeks. But now my moss ball isn't looking good and isn't bright green like it was. I read not to add anything...
My tank 5.5 gal with one betta and has been going for a year. The recent problem is black looking spots on plant and silk plants. This has not happened before and has been going on over a month. When I do water changes I have cleaned them off then returns fully one week later. My water is tested...
Betta is fine and acting normal. I was thinking of getting a aquaclear filter due to three chamber media to help with beneficial bactetia. The one I have is the charcoal inclosed kind not a good type to use. But with that change how do I seed it. I could use the present one somehow. Anyway...
No not an on going thing just happened after I cleaned the tank. Filter cartridge but the first one had been in since the fish less cycle January 2015 then fully cycled February I added my betta. I thought it looked worn so I put a new one with the old one for over a month to make sure it...
First my tank has 1 betta is 5.5 gallons was fully cycled 11 months a go before I got her. This tank was doing great all this time. Last month I thought my filter needed changed so I put a second one to seed it. I removed the old one two weeks and now today I did a partial water change. I was...
I set my new filter in front of my old one that will be replaced. It had been a month and need to know how long to keep it like this before the new one can go solo. The type of filter are the ones that have charcoal inclosed in a bag not a sponge kind. It is the type that my hob uses.

Is a betta ok with the small grain gravel I use no sharp edges or should I be using sand? What do most betta people use?

5.5 gallon tank. Did her once a week change today but did notice no changes once a week versus every 2 weeks except probably cleaner water. Thanks everyone to help me be on track.

Update: water change completed and temp changed on thermometer reset to 80. And it gradually does it. When I do water changes I am good at putting it back in to current temp so no extra shock. Her once a week treat after she is done is frozen blood worms thawed and she gets three. Then tomorrow...
Another question I have a 5.5 gallons tank and my tests are always right on target. Should I do partial water changes weekly or could it go every two werks?

I have a good heater and thermometer. I had it set at 80 degrees and would fluctuate between 79 and 81.5. I thought that if it did a little higher it wouldn't be good for her. So at a water change it was set to 78 degrees. It now goes between 77.4 to 78.5. I hope I didn't do anything to harm...
