I just did a round of Maracyn and Maracyn II last week with some occasional salt baths. I’ve always been doing 40% water changes every couple of days. He’s recovering from finrot but is this mold? He has diamond but his eyes are normally cloudy. Do I treat for mold? What is a favorite mold treatment besides salt baths? Do I raise his temperature from 78 to 80?
Hi my betta is sick and I am in desperate need of some advice!
I am currently treating my betta Merlin for dropsy, he has been poorly for 2ish weeks now. I am using esHa 2000, aquarium salt in his tank and small 5-10min pure epsom salt baths. I am waiting for Kanaplex to arrive but as I am in Europe, it is taking a while to be shipped from the US.
He is quite lethargic and isn’t really swimming as much, he is just resting on the leaves and small hammocks that I have for him.
Because of this I noticed earlier, when I went to check on him, that his corner filter managed to suck him up almost. I turned it off just in time and he swam away from it, but now I am terrified to turn his filter back on incase he gets sucked in again and can’t swim away because he is too weak.
My question is, can I leave his filter off until he is strong enough to swim around? If not, I plan on getting a breeding box for him, is this an okay option? until he is better (hopefully he pulls through!)
Sorry this is so long! and thank you in advance.
1 year old tank, all other fishes ok. Water parameters stable. Water changes ≈25% every 2 week.
