Well he did not survive the day...just as well poor thing....I think everything caught up with him last night and the dropsy symps were the last straw...when I came home he was on his side on the bottom of the tank, crooked like the pic above shows...belly bloated and all gray and pretty...

I noticed my betta had the signs of drospy last night..granted he has been sick for quite some time but today when I cam ehome he was dead....I think everything finally caught up to him but once I noticed the raised scales he was dead within a day..hopefully you have caught it quick enough and...

I came home to this today...I think this is the final nail for him :( Dropsy? From what I can read there is no cure and death will be anywhere between 5-15 days

I can use the Parasite Clear and the Fungus Clear by Jungle together(so they say) I will do a 50% water change in a few and add both in there Can't get any worse for the poor little guy :( Is it okay to keep the filter running? I emptied the media of the carbon and put it back in

After finally going the bathroom after what seemed like weeks he still is not eating(looked like there was undigested pellets in his poop) anyways a new issue Now his breathing is very heavy and labored....gills are pumping and breathing through his mouth also...looks like he is a bit crooked...

Good news... he is pooping! Well lets just say it looks like a small jelly bean and it is still attached to him...how did something that big come out of him? Jeez I hope it isn't his insides popping out :( Hopefully it will separate overnight and detach from him...it is sort of tan colored...

Can anyone tell me a better way to try to get peas to float? Thy just sink like a rock when I put them in the tank Still not eating...turns nose up to peas, bloodworms, betta bits

Will right now he is in the bowl but I will take this opp to clean out all the gravel etc from his tank and fill with fresh water......is there any harm in puting him back in new water (silly question but needs to be asked) How do you guys get the peas to float? They sink right the bottom for...

Ok...I'll put him in the fishbowl with only a small amount of water...at this point I don't think it makes a diff anymore...he is either gonna eat or die. How should I feed him? The pea mush doesnt float so it will probably just sit at the bottom of the bowl...if he does eat how long shoUld I...

Yep..he won't eat at all...you would think he would be so hungry that he would at least nibble...acouple post above seems to think that just having the pea "solution" added to his water would help a bit...this does seem to make sense since this is the way fish absorb meds no?

Thats the point...he won't eat the peas...he wont eat anything at all it has been more than an hour(more like 8) and he is no worse for wear other than being the same and not eating Is there any way to relieve constipation without him eating? Ther is a a lot of pea dust all over the...

At a Walmart near me last week there were 2 dead bettas in their cups...one the water was yellow and he was there for awhile it looked like..the other one was covered in cotton like film and if he wasnt dead he was gonna be in a few hours...sad....really sad that they don't give a rat's a$$...

ok here is what I have done...lets hope I didnt screw up too bad.. I frist mashed about 10 peas with my fingers(peeled) and dumped the juices into his tank. What I have done is keep the water flow going but removed the media..I dumped the mashed peas in the tank and that created a huges...

Ok thank you guys...just so I understand this right..I want to cook some peas and then crush them up until they are liquid? I only ask because he will not eat at all...no way at all. The only other tank I have is a 1/2 gallon unheated bowl which I don't want to put him in because of the...

Could I use baby food peas that are already smooshed? If so will that stuff float and what is the attraction to it?(for bettas)
