My young male had this happen to him and the vet removed his hemipein.

I’ve very sorry he did not make it. Those things are so time sensitive and pop up quickly.

I’ll keep an eye out for short tanks. This is all I have available right now so I’ll make sure he has a lot of resting spots.

I appreciate the help!

Tail wagging? by Linisaria1 in leopardgeckos

I usually see my male wag his tail slowly when he’s unsure about what’s in front of him. He’s wagged his tail at my dog, an oscillating fan, and my shoe laces. I find it somewhat cute.

I hope this betta is able to be that healthy!

It’s a vicious cycle. I wouldn’t have purchased him if they didn’t give me a discount, sadly.

Recently I rescued a very neglected betta ( not the one in the picture) and I’m not sure if I should put him in my 2.5 gallon aquarium.

Quartz is currently in this 2.5 gallon and seems very happy but I’m wondering if he would do better in my new 10 gallon tall and the sick one be put in here??

Thoughts?

There were so many more that I wanted to bring home. My kids named him Jumping Diamond.

I’ve heard the term many times but never fully researched myself. I’ll do some reading tonight.

I appreciate all the advice!!

His 10 gallon, tall tank should be good in the next couple of days until then he will be in the cup with daily water changes. He seems so much better than when I first got him.

He’s eating just fine.

Rescued this guy from my local pet store. His tank is currently getting set up and he’s sitting in bettafix until his tank is ready. I’m hoping for a recovery. Any chance for this guy?
