Thank you Delapool. the API fungus cure does not state if methalane blue is in it. I will check out another fungus medication that contains this. Great info. He hadn't been on any med's for over a week now so am hoping to find one that will help his tail spot which could also be causing this. I...

Sorry my message sent in error. He is still not swimming like he used to but has improved since Epsom was added and more water changes. Still struggles to stay afloat for long but better. But not his normal self.

It is hard to dose for smaller tanks so maybe did not add enough API fungus cure. should I try again with the fungus cure? is there another treatment I can try? I don't want to over medicate and he h

Yes I did the two treatments for fungus cure as suggested on the box but since one packet is for ten gallon I dosed a quarter if that to the 3 gallon tank. Waited 48 hours then dosed the next quarter of the full package. Waited another two days then did water change. He was not stressed but...

Thanks Autumnsky! your knowledge and help helped alot. I tried to post a pic of him but would not work. got a good pic of him but could not attach it. I am still learning. yes I feed him and the other guy a bit of the frozen brime shrimp once a week. Elvis the crown tail loves it of course but...

Thanks Autumnsky. Yes his poop was normal pellet color so it's good to know it wasn't parasites. It is hard to know what you are treating for and if there are two conditions going on at same time And what and how to treat. The white thing on his tail is stI'll there but he has improved even more...

His last large poop was orange in color but haven't seen him pooping much at all since. The Epsom seemed to help but he is still struggling to swim and sinks but not as much as before. He still wants to play and eat. He even flared. There are no worms on his gills but he has had a white fluff on...

Just an update but the little guy has improved and is swimming more actively and not sinking as much since I added the Epsom salt. I will add the other half tonight. Thank you soo much!

I have stopped using Aquarium salt and the searchem paraguard. I tested the water with the API liquid kit and all levels were 0. pH was at around 7.6. I did a half water change after the api fungus cure which was last week. I will see how the Epsom works. Thank you!

I could not wait till morning it is 1:30 am here now but I removed some water from his tank and added new water with same temp with half teaspoon of Epsom dissolved with stress coat. He was sleeping as they do at night but i couldn't wait. will let the poor guy rest now and add the other half...

Thank you! I was very hesitant to use the Epsom salt as I heard it stresses them out but if it has worked for your little guys I will try as it is my last resort. He has not been pooping as much at all. Before he got this way he had a large poop and not much of anything after so was thinking he...

Thank you. I have two silk plants and a moss ball in his tank and Indian almond leaves. I will go and get him new decor. He wants to play as he will come to my finger and bite and follow it around but then he tires and sinks quickly. Unless he is old but he is a small guy and only had him 9...

I normally changed water every Wednesday about 30 per cent with gravel cleaning. Since he started acting not well I changed water every three days since I lowered the volume in his tank. All parameters of water are perfect. Added almond leaves to his tank. He has a sponge filter. He loves to...

Can someone please help. My crowntail betta who was once so active has been floating to the bottom of his tank and lying on his side. He will come up when I come to his tank and still eats and has an appetite then floats back down. I have tried everything. I fasted him for a day and gave some...

Thank you! I got aquarium salt but hear some say its good others say no but if it worked for you I will put some in his tank. His water is perfect I do 30 percent water changes every week in his filtered tank and 0 ammonia and 0 nitrites and 0 nitrates. I did remove a silk plant that had a...

I just noticed a white spot on my bettas body and one on his tail. Is this fungus and what is the Best way to treat? He is eating great and very active, not scratching so I dont think it is ick. I just dont want it to get worse or him getting sick. I bought Para Guard and bettafix but I heard...

I never thought it could be paper towel fragments as i use this also to clean the sides of the tank. i tried posting a picture but could not see the link to post. I will try again.

Yes there is no movement so am not sure what this is they just float. I am thinking of moving my betta to the new tank once it's done cycling and see what happens in the new tank. Thank you!.

Thank you for the info! I feel better knowing it will not harm the fish. My anubias are not Doing so well so added Flourish. One is doing okay but the other is not. I may just remove The anubias and see what happens. Thanks so much! :)

The white stuff just floats but doesnt move. It cant be dust because there is no dust around the tank area and the tank has a lid.

I have had the tank for 7 months now and noticed the white specks a couple of months after I got it. Sometimes the white stuff is stringy and looks like fluff on my plants. The ph is high, 7.5 but nitrates are 0 as is ammonia and nitrites. But my little guy my betta seems fine and active and a...

Yes even after I remove some of the water with siphoning and adding the new water with prime conditioner and blackwater extract the specks are floating.

I have white specks floating in my tank, like dust particles, also fluffy white stuff on my anubias petite plant. The tank has sponge filter and I gravel clean 25 to 30 percent of the water every wednesday. Ammonia and nitrites 0. My betta is healthy. Does anyone know what this is and will it...

Thank you! Yes its alot of fun! I love this site too! :fish2:

Thanks Jack! Yes its true. It is too bad that many employees at pet chains are not knowledgeable on fish keeping. I was told the betta kit was good when I bought him but I felt awful keeping him in that small space so went and got a bigger tank. I alsomhad no knowledge on fish and was not even...
