I can't get over Edie! She is really pretty

Hope Puff recovers well, so sad to see him ill But Campy looks well, and I really like the blue colour he has, reminds me of clouds My betta, Artemis usually gets bacterial rot after he nips, but it also just seems to resolve itself if I increase the water changes a little Hopefully it won't be a big issue, I thought mine was a one-off fin rot fishy...16 months later...

Good luck with Puff! The tanks look really nice

Edie is so gorgeous and so unique looking, you gotta love her! I hope Puff gets better soon. It's such a shame to see him like that Fishies (and animals in general) should never be ill.

But I know he's in good hands with you, so he can count himself very lucky!

And I absolutely love that betta tank. What plant is that in the left back corner? I wish I had proper light to do nice planting projects like that

Thanks Narny I hope Puff will recover soon too!

Thanks Fang Edie is definitely a unique fishy in many ways The back left corner of the betta tank is flame moss tied to drift wood. It has grown a ton, I have actually had to start trimming it recently. It's my favorite plant in there. I got it from PAC, I don't think flame moss needs very high light being a moss You should get some! Really the only plant that requires much lighting in there is the hairgrass.

You have such pretty fishies. I hope Puff feels better!

Aw, edie is SOOO gorgeous!

I'm so sad to see puff still sick if mms aren't working, is there anything else you could try? Do you think he'll ever get to go back in the main tank? Poor guy

Your betta is very pretty, and the tank looks GREAT! You're amazing at decorating! Want to come over and decorate my tanks?

I agree with Fang, the flame moss is SO cool! I wonder if it would work with my 5g's LED lights. 

When you clean your betta tank, do you gravel vaccum, or since you have so many plants, do you just suck water off the top? (did that make sense? )

Anywho, lovely tanks! Thanks for sharing

Thanks Mandie I will send you some flame moss when I send the other plants you can try it out!

When I vacuum I just run over the plants and try to get any waste that I can see, but the vac does not go in the gravel since it is so heavily planted.

Really? That's so nice of you! Thanks so much!!

And gotcha cool! I bet wcs are super easy!

Hey Tithra, just an observation but... (and I am by no means an expert or anything)

But to me if it were an ulcer, it would be an open wound or a hole of some sort. That looks to me more like inflammation with some fluid underneath (hard to tell from the video). In humans typically such things are either removed or drained and then treated with topical antibiotics.

I'm sorry about puff, I hope he gets better! (I'm quite fond of the little guy)

Yeah, I know it is kind of funny to refer to it as an ulcer, but it is a sort of ulceration that is very deep and has not yet reached the surface. We could just call it an infection

You could potentially do surgery on it in order to expose it, but I am just not interested in messing with that. I started out using medi gold which contains oxolinic acid which is really good for penetrating tissues. The infection went away but came back right after.

He got floaty again too so I had to treat with MMs after that. While he was on MMs I used oxolinic acid in the water (it is supposedly good at getting into tissues even waterborne). Once he stopped MMs I put him back on MG (after consulting with others). The infection has nearly disappeared again, but I am not sure what will happen when I take him off.

Alex and I have talked about this a bit, and apparently these wen issues are some of the hardest to treat. It can be kind of a chronic thing unfortunately

Anyway, thanks for thinking about Puff . Alex was saying that thai breeders often go right for the surgical route when these wen issues occur, but I am just not comfortable draining or cutting at this point I would do it if I had to, but only as a last resort.

It looks like a cyst to me, or something liken to a pimple. Have you considered just sticking a needle in it to lance it and let it drain?

eek. not sure I have the stomach for that quite yet. Not that I wouldn't do it, but it makes me a little anxious.

It has actually pretty much gone away at this point on the medi gold. We'll see what happens when he gets off the meds though.

It's so nice to see Edie in full vigour! She's beautiful!

I am so sorry to hear about Puff, Evelynne. Sending healing vibes for him. Hope he gets very well soon.

It's a punishment for humans to see their pets sick.

Best wishes, Evelynne.

I'm feeling so upset after seeing Puff.

Thank you Bagho. I took him off the meds a couple days ago, he was a bit constipated from them I think so he is on a strict diet of veggies right now. So far he is looking pretty good

That's so great to know, Evelynne. Best wishes for Puff. I'm always thinking about him. My family too is worried for him. He's a super duper cute+handsome fishie.

Please send my kisses to him.

Has he recovered from bottom sitting?

You don't have any video uploaded on the web, which isn't downloaded in my PC!

Hi Tithra, When my daughter and I got our fish back in June (we are new to having fish) we had looked at so much fish videos on youtube prior to June and still now. Yours was one of them. I think we have seen all of them. Your fish are absolutely beautiful. We kept wondering if you were going to post a Sept. video on youtube. (I don't have an acct on youtube. We just enjoy looking at the video's.) I was so sad to see your post here on Koko's that Puff isn't doing well again. He is so cute and adorable. Edie is very elegant looking. You are such a great fish owner and I have learned so much from your video's on youtube. Thank you. I hope Puff will get back to feeling and looking better sooner than later and reunite back with Edie.

So sorry for the loss of your beloved Puff.
