Susie, you must dream about making things. You are incredibly productive! What a beautiful Beta tower! kathy

I would suggest changing his water, replacing it with reverse osmosis water (that can be purchased at most health food stores) and treating him with an anti-parasitic. AP makes a product called Quick Cure (google it). Add it to the water and turn the heater up to 82ú. My fish looked like he was on his last leg. This seemed to bring him back from what I thought was going to be imminent death. It worked. He was looking better within 3 days. I don't like to measure chemicals to make sure his water is right, so that is why I've started using RO water on a regular basis. It filters out virus's and chemicals so that can't be bad. The PH is always right on the money (7). I don't add chemicals. Just a bit of salt (1/4 tsp) for 10 gallons. Your fish is beautiful. Hope this helps!

considering that goldfish should be kept in tanks that are at 68-75 degrees and bettas do better in tanks that are at 80-82, at what temperature have you been keeping this tank? Goldfish are considered cold water fish. Bettas are tropical. The eye infection is a result of a bacterial infection. Goldfish produce a massive amount of waste in relation to their size. Three goldfish shouldn't be kept in a tank no smaller than 40-50 gallons. Most likely the poor water conditions stressed out the betta and thus became more prone to infection. I would remove the betta, put him in his own tank, and make sure the heater is set at 82 degrees. Regular water changes/clean water conditions usually will clear up an eye infection like what you've described if you get to it immediately.

Bettas are actually pretty hardy fish. You can usually bung em in a tank and they should be fine (as long as you dont go from cold to warm watever too fast ...let them adjust first by letting the bag sit in the water for awhile before you release them). Anyway i have had bettas that wont eat t begin with. One i had to feed one pellet too and wait for it to eat that n then give it another one. It would only eat the pellets if they were sinking and fell right infront of its face. They can be very picky with food. If they dont eat for awhile they will get hungry and then i suggest trying the pellets again. You can try flakes but they arent as healthy for them. I dont know why he would stop eating bloodworms if he previously was eating them. but like 2cute said he might be cold? oh and you dont have to put salt in. They live fine without it. although alittle is heathy for them.
