    If you have any fish big enough to eat them, I prefer that. Otherwise, I believe clove oil euthanasia is the most humane.

    TIL!

    Thanks everyone for the input! Thank you @Brandyfor the dragon scale info. I'll research more about that for any future Bettas I purchase. I've been searching around for different disease pictures, and I'm pretty sure it's a tumor as @James Black mentioned. He's still swimming and eating normally, but the tumor is still getting bigger. I came across a post on Reddit where someone had a Betta with almost the exact growth and location on the body. In that case, the fish was reclusive and not eating much. They were told to euthanize it, but did not, and a month later posted that it had burst. It was pretty gruesome looking. I did find a video on YouTube for tumor removal. It looks pretty straightforward but obviously risky. In the video, they put the Betta to sleep with clove oil, cut out the tumor with a sterilized blade while keeping the fish wet, then woke it up by spraying clean water into the gills to remove the clove oil, and finally moved it to a tank with salt to recover. It seemed to fully recover from the surgery in 2 days, but I can't find any info if the tumor came back or not. Would you operate on a fish? I feel like otherwise I'm just waiting for it to burst, which seems like the worst outcome given the other options of surgery or euthanization.

    Drywall is almost finished, just a few tiny touch-ups/sanding spots and then I can begin adding trim and caulking/prime before painting. I’m hoping painting goes quick since the entire room will be a single color, so no need to carefully edge. There are a bunch of spots where I dropped drywall mud on the floor. They’ve been popped off and are now flush, but I need to either hit them with water and a wire brush or leave them be. The center of the room will have rubber mats but the tank racks will be bare underneath. I will put plastic down before painting.

    Thanks everyone! I’ll give him a break and water change the Fungus Cure over the next week and then try Maracyn + Salt. Otherwise, after that treatment would it be safe to reintroduce him to a community tank with Embers/Otos or do you think I should just let him live out his life in a separate 5g? @Brandy Thanks for the info about dragonscale patterns!

    So I moved it into the 10g tank on 1/4, with 1 Tbsp of salt per 2 gallons. I let that sit until 1/12. On 1/12, I dosed API Fungal Cure, and then again on 1/14 per instructions. Today (1/16), I'm supposed to do a water change and then remove it with carbon. Here's a photo from yesterday (1/15). I think it's the best resolution photo I've gotten so far of the growth. It doesn't appear to be getting any better than 2 weeks ago. Should I let it rest for a week or immediately try something else? Should me next attempt be a medication or salt at a higher level?

    Yup! I've been doing electrical in our homes for a very long time, but this was my first time working in the panel. I was always scared to do plumbing until I had to tap into our water supply for water changes and drainage via a sump pump in a bucket in our basement. After that, I felt confident enough to replace our hot water heater when it failed this past summer. SharkBite fittings are a lifesaver!

    @James Black I think this is the episode of that you're describing: https://aquaristpodcast.podbean.com/e/ep-70-aj-meyers-on-creating-an-impactful-fish-store-experience/ But there was another fish store one, called "The Nano Tank": https://aquaristpodcast.podbean.com/e/ep-47-scott-peets-owner-of-the-newest-local-fish-store-the-nano-tank/ Ryan Kinney (also known as Wild Fish Tanks) has been on the podcast a few times and sells out of his house: https://www.wildfishtanks.com He also has an active Instagram and YouTube presence.

    @Andy's Fish DenMakes sense! I could see how you hang it affecting how long the project takes and how the finished product turns out.
  12. Justin Campbell
    I set up a 10g QT tank and dosed 5 Tbsp of salt.
  13. Justin Campbell
    @Colu Thanks! Ah yeah I did forget to mention the cloudy eyes too. Thank you! I will set up a 5g or 10g tank today and dose that salt level.

    Happy New Year! Current status is: still working on drywall. I've been working about 2 hours at a time 1-2 times a week to get to this point. This is my first time taping drywall. It's not fun! I would definitely hire someone to do this in the future, but we didn't want someone working inside of our house for extended periods of time during COVID. But it's close! I think I have 1-2 more mud sessions, and then sanding, and then I can begin priming and painting. I did pick up a sink and sump pump/bucket this weekend. This will drain the short wall in between the doors on the right side of the layout image. The other walls will drain to the existing sump pump that's on the other side of the wall. I have a bunch of stuff picked for automated water changes, but waiting until I get painting done to move on to that.

    I have a Betta is in a 25g planted cube. I noticed this week that he has a growth or protrusion on the back left side of his body. He also has a partially white lip, but I can't tell if that's extraneous or just his coloration. I did quarantine everything that came into this tank with the med trio for a week. He seems to be swimming/acting normally and eating. The tank also has Ember Tetras, Otos, Amano Shrimp, and potentially some Corydoras Habrosus but I haven't seen them in a while. I don't see any growths/etc on the other fish, but they're all so small it's difficult to tell. Ammonia 0 Nitrites 0 Nitrates ~10 pH 7.4 Temperature 77.9F Thanks for the help in advance! Here's also a video of him:
