Hello! I'm glad to find a forum of local betta enthusiasts.... I'm hoping to find someone to help me. I have had my betta, Merlin, for about 3 months now and have to admit that I began with no knowledge, which means I obviously didn't change the water enough, etc. The first thing I noticed was that Merlin's beautiful turquoise fins began to turn grey. I began to research what may be wrong, but none of the disease descriptions I found on the web really seemed to match his look. But I did learn about proper water conditions and began to keep his tank clean. Then he began hanging in the corner or sitting on the bottom. He quit building bubble nests and was non-responsive to me. I found "Betta Revive" at the pet store and began treating with that.... yeah! Improvement! But, still not well. I continued to research and even brought him in to the pet store where I was told he looked just fine, but I knew better. I continued to research on line and decided to treat with Maracyn and Maracyn II as recommended on many sites. I've done so now for the 5 day treatment period prescribed on the box, and Merlin is still no better. I would really like to find someone who is really familiar with bettas that I could show him to to get help identifying the problem. I'm in League City, so preferably someone in the southeast quadrant. Does anybody have any suggestions?
Thanks!
