Answer 1

I agree with the person that answered earlier. Sounds like Ick and this is easily treated! After you finish the treatement you are going to need to monitor your tank closely. If it is a new tank you should be checking the water daily. You will need ammonia strips and then API makes a 5 in 1 strip that you will also need in order to test the Ph, nitrate, and nitrite. It also tests water hardness and something else. If you dont already have a filter that has a bio wheel, then I highly recommend getting one. This will help with getting good bacteria into your tank which will help with ammonia, nitrate, and nitrite levels naturally.

Do frequent 20% water changes. Only do them when the levels are getting high. They will be high at first because your tank is cycling. It will take 6 to 8 weeks for it to regulate itself. In the meanwhile, be sure to use the following for water changes: Tetra AquaSafe for eliminating certain metals, chloramines, and chlorine and Cycle. Cycle adds helpful bacteria for speeding up your tanks cycling process. I also add Aquarium Salt. I have 3 guppies, 2 mollies, and 2 frogs. I dont add alot, but it is beneficial to there overall health when added as directed!

Its a bit of a pain at first, but all new fish tank owners go thru it. I am still not completely finished with the cycling of my new tank, and have spend ALOT of time researching and asking questions of yahoo to find out information. Good Luck

Answer 2

It could be a number of things, if there is white on the live fish it could be ich or a fungal infection. if it looks like small salt grains on the fish it is ich if it is white and looks like anythign else I would bet it is fungus. They make medicine to treat both. Make sure your water temperature is 75-80 and you could even turn it up to 82-84F while treating the sick fish. If your fish are showing signs of ich or fungus the other fish in the tank probably have it too even if you cannot tell. Change 25% of the water once a week until the fish are healthy and make sure to change the filter (lots of people heal the fish and leave the old filter which makes the fish sick again.

Answer 3

I remember your question from about a week ago. You used the same ridiculous spelling and referred to your fish as stupid damn fish. As another user previously mentioned, you need to find someone to take the fish from you. Block me too, if you want. You are obviously not serious about keeping fish, only raising the ilk and ire of "real" hobbyists. Yahoo! Answers has a name for members like you. That name is a troll. Note: Betta are NOT Japanese, they are native to Thailand (formerly Siam) hence the common name SIAMese Fighting Fish. Also, only those people to lazy to research these fish believe that they cannot be kept with other fish. Betta absolutely DO NOT fight to the death, nor will they kill any other fish placed in a tank with them. These fish are called "fighting fish" because rice paddy workers noticed how protective they are of their territories. Workers "fought" these fish before and after work. The "fights" go like this: Two fish are placed together in a small container or portioned off field water. The male that swims away is the losing fish. They do NOT fight to the death.

Answer 4

Make sure there is plenty of oxygen in the water. Replace 500 ml (2 glasses) of water everyday. Feed them well.

Never change all the water at once. And make sure there is some sea creatures (that sea grass stuff) they keep the water full of oxygen.

Seperate the sick ones from the others

Answer 5

Sounds like they may have a fish disease called ick. Usually has little white spots on them. You can buy medicine to put in the tank at the pet store or Wal-Mart. Pretty cheap and works good too but you should get it and put it in according to the directions as soon as possible.

Answer 6

There is obviously a problem in the tank. I am no expert, but honestly just flush the whole lot. Even with some sort of medication, chances are you won't fix the problem. 4 of them sound dead or sick. The tank is diseased. I'd just clear EVERYTHING out and start over.....gravel...ornaments...everything.

Answer 7

Did you take the chlorine out of the water? I would check your PH levels. You can take a sample of your water to a pet store I think. If its too high or too low, thats bad. Try that first.

Answer 8

well .... go ahead ... FLUSH IT! they wont know its gonna die anyway
lol

Answer 9

throw away

Answer 10

get rid of them in the toilet...
