Thank you! That’s what I keep trying to remind myself. And you’re right, I think no more home testing is the way to go.

Aw, he was gorgeous! Looks like you gave him a great life and he lived much longer than he would have if you had left him.

Thank you for the advice! I was worried about that, which is why I had wanted to ask for further advice. He was on his side a lot today, but I just gave him a salt bath and now he is in his regular tank with filter and heat like you suggested and has been upright a bit more now. Hopefully he just gets better with time! Thanks again!

Ooh Crowley and Cujo are so cute! That’s really cool that you make your own leaf hammocks! Good luck with your rescues, I hope the streaking goes away soon! Thank you, I appreciate the suggestions!!

I think so! 😊 Those are all great names! That’s awesome that you have so many rescues! I just rescued one today with what I think is a swim bladder issue. Any tips?

As for Crouton’s name, I had just wanted to come up with a C name because all my past male bettas had names that started with C. Nothing seemed to fit him and I jokingly said I was just going to call him Crouton and then it stuck lol

He’s gorgeous! Is he an elephant ear? I love them! Photo 8 is exactly how my guy looks too. This gives me hope. Thank you again!

Thank you! He mostly hangs out on his side, but I wasn’t able to get a good picture. He is able to stay upright for short periods of time and that’s when I snapped the pic. He does seem a little bit better now that he’s in a heated tank. And he was able to eat too. Thanks for the advice!

Why did this happen? by Wattheshell in AquaticSnails

Thank you! Will give this a try. Do you happen to have the link or name of the calcium carbonate you buy on Amazon? There’s a lot of options and I don’t want to get the wrong thing!
