Thanks Angellove78! I've been giving him Melafix and Pimafix for the last couple of days. He can swim on his own to the top, he just doesn't swim around...pretty much stays at the top all of the time. I also have plants that are tall enough that he can lay on them, and still breathe from the...

Liquid kit. I'm trying to be as thorough as possible. He's still hanging on and we started the fungal treatment yesterday. I wish I had noticed the fungus before, but we are doing all we can. I'd hate to lose him...he's part of the family!

We did. Everything in the tank was rinsed first. Temp sits at about 79.

I just noticed a cloudy film coming from one of his gills too. What would that be and is there a way to treat it?

Please help! We have had a betta for 10 months and suddenly he seems to be sick. He's very lethargic...lays around all day, and is hardly eating. I basically have to drop the pellets of food over his head and then he may eat one or two. He used to be a good eater, and about 2 weeks ago, he...

Thanks! We had that problem when he was catching his reflection against the black of the filter. Major flaring all the time, so we had to make some changes there. Appreciate the thought and will try to keep an eye on that.

Thanks again Barliman!! Appreciate your help!

The fish? ...or the kid?? [emoji1]

Haha!!! Yes he's yelling that right now actually. He belongs to my son, but has already figured out that I generally feed him.

Thanks Barliman! We'll just keep doing what we're doing then. How long does it normally take a 5 gallon tank to cycle?

Hi! I just joined this forum and I'm excited to learn from you all. We have a veiltail betta we got my 7 year old for his birthday about a month ago. We originally had him in a 1 gallon tank, but quickly discovered he needed to be in something larger, so he is now in a 5 gallon, heated tank...
