looks like he has ick on his eye and needs to be cured ASAP. i would recommend maracide or quick cure. Good luck. Skatefan. IP: Logged |

It sounds like your fish has a fungus. There are medications available to treat fungus. Be sure to follow the directions very closely and do water changes fairly often afterwards to remove any medication remaining. I haven't kept betta fish, but a small amount of aquarium salt (NOT table salt) may help in the future. IP: Logged |

It depends on the severity, but if he's so sick that an hour will kill him, chances are he may not make it anyway. A commonly recommended medication on several forumns is Maracide (Maracyn). Make sure to get the one for fungus. Read the instructions and treat exactly as recommended (more is not better). I think the medication cycle is generally 5 days. IP: Logged |
