wow..the male must be puasa when ur in Genting

hey guys, my 2 months old betta (2 months since i bought it la) suddenly today showed symptoms of fin rot. so i quickly went n change the water. put salt, anti chlorine n all.

but now, within a couple of hours. it's conditions changed drastically to the worst. it's whole body is turning pale n it's just floating around at the bottom of the tank. what's wrong with it?

i'm quite saddened about this. i think it's not going to make it pass the night.

just a few minutes after this, it died. sigh...

hi ,

Sad to hear that ... It will be a good idea to have this solution called Melafix to standby all the time .. it will cure ....


Cheers,

hmm....fin rot normally doesn't kill them...anti chlorine overdose maybe?

i suspect fin rot wasn't it's actual cause of death. it's fin did not rot away much but the entire body turned pale.

and i thought fighting fishes were the easiest exotic fishes to rare. i'm such a failure.

can it be? but the last time i changed the water was like 3-4 days ago.

My fish also same, popeye and fungal infection less than 1 month after I got it, and after I change the water it gets worse and worse, finally figured out its my water that is causing problem, maybe your tap water has some content that is not right for the fish too. Now I'm actually keeping my fish in mineral water, and he is so much better although not fully recovered, although its not really a good long term solution.

wah, mineral water? how large is ur tank? must be costing u a sum coz need to change every 2 days

yeah i suspect it was the water too. but after noticing it's sick, i immediately used Diamond filtered water n put salt n anti chlorine, but in the end mati also.

does this mean Diamond tipu us about how good bla bla healthy bla bla their filter is. haha

i'm considering getting a nice betta. Where do u all get them? coz like all the pet shops i go to are just selling those rm 3 - 5 very normal-looking common ones. And also how to differentiate between a HMPK and a HM?

Haha of coz now that he is sick, I keep him in shallow water, just a few inches. Better for him also so he dont need to swim so high to reach the top to breath.

Maybe its already too late for the fish?

HMPK - short tail with flare 180 Degree
HM - long tail with flare 180 Degree

oh cool...now i get it. So do u have any stock? or know anyone have some? hehe.

Ha ha .. you are asking at the correct person ....

the stock i got now is for breeding purpose one
u want it?
