alcidmr Posted August 2, 2022 Share Posted August 2, 2022 Does anyone know about bettas I just got one for my 5.5 gallon tank. unfortunately I got it from petco because I have no mom and pop shop around my home. But he looks so wash out lol like a white film on him and his face look rough is that how a mermaid male betta supost to look? I did the trio ICH-X, Meracyn, Paracleanse. For prevention he is eating and not lethargic he is moving around. today is his second day at home ill place a video of him hope you guys can see him, thanks. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ken Sonnier Posted August 4, 2022 Share Posted August 4, 2022 Colors may be a little on the lighter side but not horrible . Maybe the med trio has him a little stressed/tired . I wouldn't panic, just watch him closely for a few days and see how it goes . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ccc24 Posted August 4, 2022 Share Posted August 4, 2022 If you’ve prophylacticly treated him, you’re probably good. I’ve found my bettas tend to crash after a few days home. I tend to let them simmer in a 1:1 salt ratio for about a month. It is completely subjective but something about the salt seems to help them heal the damage of being stuck in those cups. They just tend to be lethargic and be poor eaters and something is just off I can’t put my finger on when they get home. Extended salt soak tends to help. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patrick_G Posted August 4, 2022 Share Posted August 4, 2022 He looks good to me. I’m not sure what a mermaid betta is supposed to look like, but this one sure looks handsome. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
