I have a 2.65 gal tank with two female bettas. I just noticed yesterday that my female yellow betta, Belle, has popeye because of stressfully high amounts of nitrate. I feed them everyday and I know it was not like that on Monday... guess I didn't know something like [popeye] could occur so fast. The levels have been adjusted and I have bought and treated a "hospital tank" with MarPlex-Two immediately to medicate my sick fishy. Hopefully I caught the symptom of popeye early enough to let it heal, but what I am most concerned about is her eating. She has not eaten since Monday and I am terribly worried. I try to put the little "betta bits" in front of her good eye so that she can see it clearly but she doesn't seem interested. What do I do?
