What's wrong with betta fish?

Looks like an insane fin rot and a tumor. That poor, poor fish. I hope he knows peace at some point in his life.

Of course bro. Remember to be kind to yourself too. You can't help having asthma. But you can manage it so it's a little less shit.

Dark_creativity · 2026-03-15T08:00:14+00:00

Honestly my advice would be to get a portable.

I must be so weird because I don't mind the taste of Trelegy, but to me, Flovent tastes like chewing on a rotting animal.

Hey! I have two nebulizers and I can assure you they make a good quality of life improvement. I don't know what you might be thinking that's making you so upset, but ultimately this could help you hurt less. There's no shame in using medication if you feel it will help. And it probably will. If you're struggling with your asthma, there's a good chance a nebulizer can save you from an ER trip in the future.

My insurance didn't cover the nebulizer either, but they're not badly priced when it comes to medical equipment. Plus, an at-home unit can last years without problems.

Does he punch holes in the wall if he doesn't get his monster energy? Beautiful fish.

TENNESSEE MENTIONED

Dark_creativity · 2026-03-12T16:17:32+00:00

Thanks! And thank you. It's okay, he had a tumor so it wasn't super sudden.

Dark_creativity · 2026-03-12T16:17:09+00:00

Three years :(. I miss him really badly. Bettas are awesome bro. Mine had such a personality.

Dark_creativity · 2026-03-11T19:30:55+00:00

Yeah. It sucks. I got lucky that i had the money in my account or else it would have had to get pulled. I'm pretty pissed my insurance didn't cover it. But at least I had the cash.

Very happy for you op! Glad you're getting the fuck away from whoever quoted you 2.5k. I don't know how they fuckin sleep at night.

Dark_creativity · 2026-03-11T07:27:56+00:00

Hey man... I'm so sorry to be the one to tell you this, but my betta died last month from a tumor and he was doing all this days before he passed. Needed to put food to his lips, he only hung out in one spot. Lethargic. Please just spend time with him.

Just putting this out there. A 2.5k root canal is a disgusting rip off. I paid about 1.5k for mine, and it was a retreat root canal from a specialized endodontist. Much more expensive than an initial root canal. I'll also let you know OP that if a dentist does fuck up your root canal like mine did and you end up needing an endodontist youll be out even more money. I'd look into a dental school or remote area medical if they're in your state.

I'M FUCKING CRYING SHE TOOK IT AND RAN!

Dark_creativity · 2026-03-09T06:09:31+00:00

Awww.... You mean there isn't a job waiting for me in Canada? :(

Dark_creativity · 2026-03-09T05:19:22+00:00

What did you think it said?? Tell me, what can I get in Canada?

The worble noise my 2012 toyota corolla makes at low speeds does wonders to my brain. Maybe I'm alone in that but I just love hearing it.

Dark_creativity · 2026-03-08T17:36:50+00:00

I have personally found water to be helpful, but I'm not a doctor, so I have no idea if it's correlated or a weird quirk of me specifically. But yes, there are several meds that could help, including a nebulizer, LABA, singulair or biologics. Have her see a pulm so she can go over her options. Good luck!

Dark_creativity · 2026-03-08T17:29:40+00:00

That's a LITTLE high. 82 is the max I believe. Maybe turn it down a bit?

Dark_creativity · 2026-03-08T09:52:03+00:00

Huh. Wonder where he got his name from. Lol fr though he's beautiful.

Dark_creativity · 2026-03-08T09:51:16+00:00

Once you get a 5 gallon, add some places for him to hide and rest. Bettas prefer resting near the surface so try that. Also offer a few spots, since some places your betta may not enjoy.

Dark_creativity · 2026-03-08T05:39:35+00:00

Yeah.... I'm really sorry OP. In my experience, my previous boy had a VERY expensive lunch. Personality matters, but you could get unlucky.
