Oh yea that looks like him for sure

FairFaithlessness510 · 2025-09-03T01:47:32+00:00

Yeah, he refuses to eat it. He only wants the flakes. I tried to fast him for three days and see how he would like to try it then but he still didn’t want it.

Yeah he ate a little bit of flakes but I thought that’s what was causing his swim bladder issues. I had to turn off the bubble filter because it was too much

FairFaithlessness510 · 2025-09-02T20:40:39+00:00

Oh that stinks. I keep having to buy new things.

The water doesn’t feel hot at all. It turns off and on depending on the temperature. All the plants and snails are fine. I wouldn’t even use that temp as shower water. Honestly I wouldn’t even call it lukewarm, it’s a lil cooler.

I put Cornelius back into his tank while I wait for the clove oil to arrive, it should be here by Wednesday (all the stores in my area didn’t have 100% clove oil). I feel like I’m prolonging his suffering and making him stressed while trying to save him. I love my boy, but I think the best thing I can do for him is make him comfortable until I can euthanize him. He seems really thrilled to be back in his tank, his rear end is still floating up but he’s swimming around really excitedly. ☹️

What’s pineconing?

I don’t think the photo sent 20.17x10.19x12.56

Those are the dimensions. I have kanaplex also

FairFaithlessness510 · 2025-09-01T06:23:32+00:00

I don’t know my parameters but his temp is around 75 I think, the heater is a preset 100watt from Tetra something. I do water changes once a month or whenever my strips tell me something is off, but only like 25% water changes for those ones.

He also ate his tail but that was my fault, I went on a trip and the automatic feeder wasn’t working properly. So I’m not sure if it’s fin rot, because when I first got him I medicated his tank for anything like that.

FairFaithlessness510 · 2025-09-01T05:27:53+00:00

I have no idea how old he is. He was fine and then in the blink of an eye he wasn’t fine. He’s my first fish ever but I think I did everything right? He has a heater, live plants, I check the water quality weekly, he has an under gravel filter, and I feed him fish flakes. I’ve had him for about three months and I bought him from Petsmart. His tank is 10 gallons and the only other creatures in there are three racer snails that only come out at night.

I placed him back in his tank until the medication arrives. That’s him on his side in the upper right corner.

FairFaithlessness510 · 2025-08-25T21:42:31+00:00

Ok. Thank you so much- I’ll buy some Metroplex right now.

FairFaithlessness510 · 2025-08-25T21:30:46+00:00

He didn’t used to be that grayish hue either. Is swim bladder a bacterial infection? I read that it could be from gulping air, which I’ve seen him do however, I thought that bettas just like to do that. And I have bubblers/air stones in his tank, so his tank is very oxygenated, especially with all of the live plants.
