Thanks, I'll try that... I need to do something, because I think he plots my demise every time I'm not watching...

Thanks, haha. Yeah, the first time I had my fingers in the water, trying to fix this plant that had fallen over, and I wasn't paying attention. Next thing I knew, I felt a pinch. Second time, he jumped out and got me when I was trying to feed him. I found him at Petco... I went there looking for...

This is Inigo Montoya (princess bride, anyone?), my new betta. So named because he's the most aggressive betta I've ever come across. Yeah, unfortunately, Ray, my betta from my earlier post, died a couple of days ago. Still, I'm kind of falling in love with Inigo, despite his continued attempts...

You're welcome! And thanks... Sterilizing my tank right now in case he had any other infections I didn't know about... Probably going to get a half-moon betta next, I've always loved those...

I just heard to keep your fish in for 15-20 minutes in a solution of 1tsp per gallon Epsom salt. I don't know about longer.

Ok, went to put him in the Epsom salt bath... And found him dead. So I guess I won't be needing help treating him... Thank you guys for your advice...

Ok, I have no Epsom salt, so I'll have to pick some up tomorrow... I'll try a salt bath and leave him in there for 15-20 mins before taking him out.

More pictures, I hope they help...

Ok thank you...

Here are the pictures...

I've had my male betta for just over a year now, and he's recently become bloated. Dropsy being the disease I fear seeing most, I immediately started freaking out. I took pictures of him (I had to put him in a cup, he spent most of his time hiding at the bottom), and from the top, his scales...

Yeah, lol, he seems to enjoy it though he hasn't tried to jump at me at all

Thanks, I rescued him from Walmart :)

This is Ray in his 10 gal (pardon the finger in one of the photos haha) he's actually a dark blue/purple but the photos don't show it very well.

Soo.. Well... It all started when I walked into a Walmart and I saw this sad-looking betta sitting in a pathetic plastic cup of yellowish water. Automatically, I knew that I had to have him. I knew almost nothing about fish, and though my mother had kept fish, she was awful at it and they all...
