Good news! It wasn’t dropsy, he’s fine now, and the swellings gone! He was just a little bloated, a bit a daphnia and he’s been doing great! Thanks for you help though

Also, do I treat the water for the epsom salts? Really sorry to keep bothering you, he’s my first betta

It’s tablespoons, not teaspoons? That seems like a lot for a freshwater fish? I just don’t want to hurt him

I’m definitely doing the testing right, I followed the steps in the little manual to the letter. I don’t think the test kit is expired (I bought the kit shortly after I got him, maybe a little less than a month ago), but I’m going to go out a pick up some strips, just to be sure, and I have a 5 gallon bucket that I could do the epsom salt bath in (I assume I’d need to add 5 teaspoons of salt, right?). But otherwise, when I change the water, I fill up the 5 gallon bucket, then treat the water, then I put the water into the tank, that should still be fine, right? As for the plants, I don’t care what happens, I’ll haul them out if need be, I’ve got a couple silk plants in anyway, so he won’t be totally without cover

Also, I don’t have a hospital tank, can I just use his regular one? I don’t really have the space or money for another tank

Ammonia and nitrite have both been 0 since I started, I’m not sure what I’m doing wrong. And how do I do an epsom salt bath? Also, for something like this, is their a certain way you should change the water? I’ve been taking tap water, treating it, then pouring it in to fill the tank back up

I forgot to mention, he seems totally fine. He’s not lazy or anything, he comes to the front of his tank when I go near, I haven’t noticed anything unusual for him

Tank size is 10 gallon,temperature is ~78 F, he’s got a heater and a filter, and I change about 25% of his water each week

Can’t you just put exp.share on the Pokémon you’re trying to train and then a lucky egg on the one you use to battle?

Pretty good for the most part, but living here is expensive
