UPDATE!
This betta is still alive and kicking! (or swimming in this case)
This is the wound as of 10/3/09
The wound as of 10/6/09
The wound as of 10/8/09
And finally the wound as of 10/12/09
The external progress is minimal but he is no longer leaking food. I started feeding him blood worms around 8/6/09 and he was still losing quite a bit of food out of his side. I watched him eat the same blood worm three times. In one side and out the other. :yuck:
Since then I have started feeding him one Hikari Betta Bio-Gold pellet a day. He hasn't lost any food out of his side in a few days and he seems to be in good spirits.
I wonder how long he'll last if he doesn't heal up? He doesn't show any signs of slowing down or acting sickly.
He must be one of those new run-flat bettas from Goodyear.
