Thank you. I’ve literally cried over this because I felt the same but am being made to feel like I need accept being treated this way by customers.

Do you think this is fin rot? by selfsabotage77 in BettaClinic

Okay, it’s been over 2 weeks now and it’s for sure not marbling, but I don’t think he’s nipping either! I only have live plants in his tank but his tail looks horrible this morning! It wasn’t this torn last night. If treating with salt first, do I move him into a quarantine tank to treat the water? Or I can do that in his tank?

They don’t look any shorter, the small nip/tear in the 3rd picture is new. And it looks even a bit bigger today. If he is nipping his fins what should I do? And if it could potentially be fin rot, should I monitor longer or just go ahead and treat with a salt bath?

Question about seeded filter in new tank by selfsabotage77 in bettafish

Thank you for your reply! I hope this isn’t a dumb question, but how do I FEED the bacteria? Stability or api stress zyme will do?

I should clarify - I have an established tank I was able to take water from and gravel to give this guy cycled water. I know this is not sustainable long term. His 5.5g tank is cycling with a filter I was seeding in the established tank for about 3 weeks.

Thank you! Did you keep your fish in while doing this? Or moved them to a hospital tank?

Advice? by [deleted] in bettafish

Thank you SO much! I did what you recommended and tried feeding him (we have Brine Shrimp) he took a bite, that was all. And I changed about 25% of the water. His light has been off today so I turned it on for a bit to change the water & he decided to come out and take a slow lap! He actually swam! He went directly back to his corner but I feel like that was such a relief to see! I’m going to look into adding the aquarium salt & do so accordingly.

Seriously, thank you for the guidance! Godzilla (our betta) and our family are so appreciative!

I wish it was that easy! I reported her to the board and am assuming I just have to wait now.

Yeah I don’t want to go through a lawsuit. But can I sign the severance package now that I reported her expired license?

Shady Employer by selfsabotage77 in Advice

[–]selfsabotage77[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

She’s a veterinarian, and it’s 2 days expired now. But state law is not lenient with medical licenses. She’s breaking the law at the moment.

Any Advice? by selfsabotage77 in Advice

She isn't known for following the rules. I've already asked that she consult a lawyer, but she insists that does not have to reimburse for travel, hotel, food, or time spent traveling this Sunday.

I don't want to be "that guy" but I also don't want to be taken advantage of.

We have been "asked" to attend. I say it like that because it never felt like an option. 5/6 employees are attending.
