  7. What killed my betta?

    Yea i took the filter out to treat her but it had been going for 3 days before treatment so I dont thing it will be a chemical in the water

    I took a sample in to the petshop and they said there was nothing wrong with the water - pH6.8, no amminia, nitrites, nitrates and everything else was fine too

    Oh well I guess theres not much else I can do

    I was just wondering if anyone else has had this happen and if they knew what it was or how to prevent it

    Thanks for the help

    I'm not vet, but my first thoughts are:

    - run carbon in filter in case a chemical was introduced

    - do biggest water change you can, using warm water of correct temp + ager

    - salt bath (I just use lots of table salt in a bucket of water) for 5 minutes (shorter if the fish goes sideways and starts to float)

    Up to you weither you take my advice or not, I can't guarantee success, but it has worked for me a few times, and failing that it'd be vet treatments (e.g. antibiotics).

    they have a filter with carbon already ( the carbon was replaced 2 weeks ago)

    i have been doing 80% water changes daily since the male got sick

    i gave her a salt bath on wednesday

    the LFS gave me furan? and another antibiotic that i cant remember the name of. I have treated her with both, furan first and now the other one

    she still looks 80% dead :cry:

    There has been no change in the female overnight

    the scales havnt been sticking right out, they are just raised a little bit and there is white mucus under each one. It was much easier to see on the male cos he was dark but i didnt think to take a photo of him before he died

    What killed my betta? :cry:

    On sunday I did a water change and on monday night I noticed that the scales on my male had come up a little bit and what looked white pus or similar was coming out from under the scales and he died later that night. now the female that was in with him is doing the same thing.

    She is lethargic and hasnt eaten for a couple of days, her scales have just come up a little bit and I can see the white stuff there

    Can anyone tell me what is wrong and what I can do about it?

    The LFS gave me some antibiotic but it hasnt had any effect so far and did nothing for the male
