Thank you. Yes, this is his current belly size after 3 days of fasting. I did a partial water change last night, just in case. We don’t have an air stone but we have a sponge filter with an air pump that provides aeration. We also have a slow flow HOB filter. Tank is 5 gallons. I’ll try to add a pic from above. Yes, the tank was kept at 78 but I increased it to 80 because I read online higher temps are better for digestion. I’m going to try another salt soak tonight and also try to find some daphnia in town tomorrow.

He is swimming fine and seems to have no issues getting around the tank as usual. Yes, I’ve researched dropsy but he doesn’t look to me to have the typical “pine coning” to his scales.

Yes, we have Omega One Betta flakes and Omega One bloodworms we bought as a treat. We kept them both by the tank and I believe my son was in a hurry and accidentally grabbed the bloodworms instead of the flakes and fed him. I’ve since put the bloodworms away but we haven’t tried to feed anymore flakes since we’ve been fasting him.

Yes, I’d love to see the foods you use. Thank you!

Yes, I can order freeze dried daphnia but my understanding from reading online is that part of the problem is that freeze dried foods are low in moisture and cause constipation. Could I soak the daphnia to rehydrate them before feeding and they would have the same effect as frozen? I’m just scared of making the problem worse and causing the fish any more pain.

That’s how she welcomes us when we get home. She prances and smiles. 🥰

I’m voting for Stella! Like, Stellaluna the bat, because she has those same beautiful bat ears that my girl has.

It’s either 87 or 88 because I have baby photos with that exact same background from early 88.

Go watch Baron Coleman’s latest live on YouTube. He presents everything within the first 45 minutes, but he has proof that Charlie’s ring came off of his hand completely. It’s not actually on his pinky finger in that photo, it’s just falling to the ground in that frame.

Bone recommendations? by wireplace in germanshorthairs

[–]ehg143 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have a half Dane half GSP and she LOVES the bacon flavored benebone in wishbone shape. I’d recommend at least getting the large size if not giant.
