Yeah that's what I was thinking. I'll at least use the rest of my melafix as it couldn't hurt since it is medicine. I'll do wcs of 5 gallons everyday from now on and keep my pleco separate.

Why not use melofix? from what I've read it helps bettas?
I just want to verify first before I do yet another wc

So, after doing this water change(50%), I accidentally poured one of my fish (the white one with red stripes on her fin) down the drain. RIP.
So, now I only have 4 fish. 3/4 of them have fin issues now... which isn't a good percentage.
Here are first 4 pictures.
EDIT: I have no idea why they came up like that. (on the side) I opened them on my phone, Paint and everything else and while the previews were sideways everything else had them straight up and down.
These will have to do as I don't have time today to take more pictures.
UPDATE: I wanted to wait to update this. I've been adding the melafix randomly over the past few weeks and 2/5 fish have healed so that makes 2/5 fish with fins that look fine.
The only fish that have frayed fins are these:
Jill => Eldest; lighter blue, largest fins
Julia => Second Oldest; All...
I had a feeder to feed them. So I know that they were fed (started it up a day early to make sure it worked and it did/does). Thanks for the idea but I don't think that's it.
Ah Okay, that sounds better (about the blue water) than what the other person said.

As an...
Here are some better pictures. Sorry if some are blurry when you blow them up. I had to take them in a dimly lit setting as the flash on my camera made them impossible to see.

As far as the blue water goes, that means they were selling a fish that could possibly have some sort of disease? That's not right. :/ GRR
& Thanks. I figured WCs are always good and I know a 100% WC is bad as I have to re-assimilate my fish and everything but I'm working on it. Hence why I'm...
As an update. I just did a 95% or as much of a water change as I could. There was like a centimeter of water at the bottom after taking out my gravel. I cleaned the gravel and the water and replaced it. I'm out of BettaSafe water conditioner (ran out putting it into the betta's temp tank) so I'm...
Okay, I'm not seeing any fighting... none at all, in fact. At first Julia (my oldest betta and the one in the first picture) was chasing around one of them and I noticed the white one got stuck to my filter (had to turn off my filter to free her lol thought it was weird and hilarious) but that's...
Update: I just noticed that the blue fish that originally had the fish issues has a back fin that looks like it was cut with a pair of scissors. It is a straight line which means this fin issue is probably due to her. :( She was so pretty at Petsmart and I didn't see the issues as they had her...
Hello, I'll upload some pictures in my next post as a reply to this.
Some of my 5 bettas are starting to get frayed fins. I have been gone for a week and my tank level dropped 1 gallon. I have them in a 20 gallon with a pleco and a snail. Even my oldest betta (the first one I bought back in...
She is normal again! Lost my snail but ehh I'll just see if I can take him back to pet smart on Saturday. He is out of my tank for now to prevent any other sickness.
As far as Julia goes she is 100% better
Me too. I really don't want my other fish to get it if she does....though idk how she got it other than from adding water to the tank cause the tank is clear as day. Never had algea problems...ever.
Yeah that's what I thought. Then I realized I have been really REALLY overfeeding my bettas cause I was trying to feed my pleco. Bad me. I'm not going to feed them for 2 or 3 days and hopefully it will go down.
She is pretty. Thank you.
Why not move the tank yourself? I have a 10 gallon that had 1 betta and 1 pleco and I moved from the dorm room I was in back home and now I have a snail and 4 more bettas (all female) and I plan on doing it all over again but this time with the 10 and 20 gallon tanks. I just plop the tank on my...
Should I be worried?
I have a tank or 5 female bettas 1 pleco and 1 snail. I just got 3 bettas and the snail today and added them but forgot to treat the water until Julia looked like that. Then I picked up the conditioner and treated it. She is older than my other. New bettas but younger...
That's what it says on the cup I got her in. I know those aren't that reliable but I saw another Betta that looked just like her at petsmart yesterday and she was in a female cup and section as well.
Better pictures I hope :)

Thanks guys! I was able to finally get a refund I've been waiting for so I went up to pet smart and got her some cover. Now she is happy!
Her find are open and everything! Yay!

I agree. This is only a small temporary aquarium until I can get her back home. I'm only here with this tank until Jan 6th and I'm planning to put her back in her tank by Jan 8th at the latest (gotta do a 100% water change there as the water is sitting there without the filter on right now and...
