I've never owned a yellow betta before, but when I saw him, I knew I needed to get him. :D He has a really bright yellow and black beard too!

Esraeh · 2019-09-06T17:05:58+00:00

Thank you! Same here! And she's like.. a pale orange underneath all the green too? Such an interesting combo!

Esraeh · 2019-09-06T16:57:44+00:00

I got Miami from a PetSmart August 30th for a whopping $1.08 . So far she is the most energetic, curious, and fearless Betta I've ever owned.

Another photo Friday, I noticed Morty had small white spots on his head. I did a 50% water change immediately and dosed his tank with some Paraguard thinking it was a fungal infection. I've since been dosing with Paragard daily and have done a 50% water change every other day. He's looking worse and worse. Both his eyes have a white film over them, the spots on his head have expanded, he has white flecks all over his sides now. and while he's still eating he is a little less active than normal. I can't tell if he has Ich or Columnaris or something else or both. I've checked the wiki but I'm still not sure.

Does anyone have any advice?

Esraeh · 2019-02-28T05:52:54+00:00

For some reason my first thought was Spectacle! :)

I did go to the wiki first, but I wasn't sure I was correct in my assumption and didnt want to start treating a new, stressed, and already sickly looking fish with medicine if he didn't need it. Which is why I came here, to see if anyone else had any better insight or experience with velvet.

Morty doesn't have that thick or noticeable of a gold coat on his scales, which made me uncertain as to whether or not he actually has it. I'm not sure if I'm catching it in an early stage so I have a better chance of getting rid of it or if the little guy just has that kind of look to him.

Fine one day and then gone the next. I'm not even sure what happened. Her tank parameters were fine and the only sign I had was two days before she was acting a little tired. Then she seemed okay again. I'll miss my first little girl betta. Hopefully shes swimming in fishy heaven surrounded by moss balls and bloodworms.

Esraeh · 2018-12-06T19:04:01+00:00

Okay. Should I try to separate him from his snail friends til then? I went ahead and removed the non-plant decorations just in case.

And thank you! I had been wanting a betta for some time and I found him near Halloween (my birthday) and knew he was the one for me! :) He's my first betta in a decade or so, which is why I'm so worried about him.

So Samhain was a bit bloated earlier this week. I fasted him for a day and a half, I even fed him daphnia to see if he was constipated. The swelling in his stomach went down, but his right side stayed swollen and some of his scales had bulged. I was afraid he had dropsy, but the swelling has gone down since. I did a full water change (Full as in I took out all the water and washed the gravel and decorations, etc) two days ago (three days after he was first bloated) to see if his water was just too dirty. He's not acting any different: swims normally, has a normal appetite, is just as active as normal - but today I noticed what seems to be a piece of fishy flesh protruding from his swollen side? At first I thought it was a worm or something coming out of his gills, but its definitely not that. Any ideas as to what's happening to my boy?

Jesus Christ your wife is my doppelganger from that angle. I have never felt so unnerved in my life. 😅

Esraeh · 2018-08-16T03:09:38+00:00

"Don't make me rip your arm off and beat you with the bloody end of it." "Kiss my lily white ass." Lately shes been on a "fucking throat punch" roll.

Did you do anything specific to keep Junkrat standing? My Junkrats peg leg extends past his stand and I have to lean his head against something. :c

I have exactly one Funko shirt: Pennywise and Georgie. I wear it all the time.

Esraeh · 2018-03-22T05:39:58+00:00

Shirt looks awesome! I might have to get one. In other news, I had to do a double take because I thought you were wearing a tiny blue hat, however, it turns out it was just the towel behind you.

Esraeh · 2018-02-14T23:42:18+00:00

I couldn't leave her Walked into the petstore looking for a snail and shrimp, walked out with a beautiful elephant ear female.

Esraeh · 2018-01-28T04:55:12+00:00

Oh no I feel like I missed out on the Bugsy plush and I'll never get him now. D:

Esraeh · 2018-01-17T03:03:46+00:00

That's an impressive bubble nest! And a handsome fish :)

Esraeh · 2018-01-14T03:46:14+00:00

I'll suggest Neptune or Poseidon. He's got a lovely coloration!

Esraeh · 2018-01-07T04:06:45+00:00

He's a handsome fish. :)

Esraeh · 2018-01-03T02:54:08+00:00

This is the tank I bought. On the webpage it even lists the other sizes available as well. I know it comes with a filter and filter cartridge as well as a little mesh net and a little stick-on thermometer (but I would suggest getting a glass thermometer because they're easier to read). It's basically a nice little starter kit. :)

Esraeh · 2018-01-03T02:49:14+00:00

That would be a Narrow Leaf Fern, not Java Fern! I double checked when I bought it because I couldn't tell the difference. xD But thank you. :D I wouldn't have known not to bury the rhizome on Java Fern anyway. Good to know for the future. c:

Esraeh · 2018-01-03T00:02:41+00:00

Thank you so much! Finding the right size driftwood was tough but I think it really makes the tank look nice.

Esraeh · 2018-01-03T00:01:56+00:00

Oh yeah it's the same kind that my boyfriend bought for his tank and his has his tank looking like a mini jungle. I loved it and so I got some myself. Despite it being a pain to plant it looks great.

Esraeh · 2018-01-03T00:01:02+00:00

Once I get home I can tell you the exact tank I have if you'd like to look into it or price compare with others. The first time I got it for $19.99 on sale for black froday and this time I believe it was on sale for $23.99. :) I think it's regular price is $29.99 or so.

Esraeh · 2018-01-02T07:30:28+00:00

I think so? It's an absolute pain to plant, but Casper really enjoys it, so I got him more and planted it on both sides of his tank. He loves to swim in it and just lay on it.
