He took a turn for the worse and stopped eating today. He knows I’m there, his eyes still follow me :( but seems too weak to lift his head. Honestly, when I saw him this morning, I thought he’d already passed away. I tried to feed him 3x with very small pellets but nothing. I did a pwc and...

This is him today. Skipped a day of feeding yesterday. He ate 2 pellets today. I still haven’t given him the pea bc pro shop said to wait. I went to my local pro shop and bought Vita Chem and put it in the water and the food pellets too and consulted with them. Yesterday afternoon, I took out...

I took the ammonia filter out and I’m realizing it’s likely the ammonia filter left in too long plus a bit of over feeding is what caused this :( When I took the filter out, the water got cloudy with stuff in it. I haven’t given you a nitrite reading bc I still have yet to locate a kit. I’m...

Ok I understand the process a bit better now and appreciate you going through explaining that a bit more. I didn’t know if I was dealing with ammonia or not bc they were similar symptoms at first. With process of elimination done, I knew to dose with meds at this stage, although I wish I’d done...

The ammonia filter is what I find confusing because some people I speak to say you want it in there. You want it to absorb the ammonia if you’ve got a problem with rising ammonia levels. And then there’s some people who I speak to, such as yourself, that tell me that it will remove bacteria even...

I’m wondering if the mucus came from the aquarium salt treatment? I put salt in the tank twice but there were 3 large water changes in between those doses. I will not be adding more. Filter: I have a Fluval hang on back filter with foam, carbon, ammonia and bio filter. My biofilter needs to...

I didn’t add more salt but did a 10% water change today and added Stability again Ammonia - .25 ppm Nitrates - 0 ppm Ph - 7.6+ He ate 2 pellets today and moved around more, but still on the bottom of tank. I thought he had Ich on him but it’s only on one side and nowhere else on the tank I...

At what point.... At what point do I euthanize? I haven’t used Melafix at all, only Prime during water changes, Stability a few hours later and salt yesterday. Just the 1 1/2 Tablespoons of salt. Should I put in another 1/2 teaspoon now? Bc it should’ve been a 2 Tablespoon dose, I just...

Tried to eat He tried to eat yesterday and grabbed 1 pellet only bc he couldn’t move for the others. Today I saw him move himself to get at a piece of food from yesterday and he ate it. So he’s been trying to eat. But I just tried to feed him now and he’s not interested at all. I hear you in...

Popeye He has popeye. Ammonia is around .10 ppm Nitrates 5 ppm This is a video I took today of my fish. If you pause and blow up the video, you can see the popeye, plus he has a touch of fin rot. And he Durant live much from the bottom last 5 days. Do you think I should start a course of...

Skin and color worse Here are better pics (hopefully) I put 1 Tb salt in Should I do another water change today? I did one 9 hours ago His color looks faded and still red on his tail Do I continue to do daily water changes until he’s better? Or only until tests register at 0 ppm?

More pictures from today Bc his gills are breathing heavy it looks like he has dropsy but I don’t think it is. However I’ll keep an eye on it. It’s hard to get clear pictures bc he’s at the back of the tank and the light keeps reflecting off the glass Fed him part of a pea. He tried going for...

Still at bottom Thank you very much for your reply. I had no idea the ammonia filter would possibly upset the balance so much. I just took it out of the filter. -I did a partial water change yesterday 25% added 1/2 cap of Seachems Stability bc I didn’t know why my levels were getting worse...

Hi, I’m new to this forum and would like to say Hi but also I need help. My betta fish Royalty is just sitting at the bottom of the tank. It’s a 10 gallon tank with live plants and gravel and he’s the only fish in the tank. I have a foam, carbon, ammonia and bio filter for media and it’s a hang...
