Hi Everyone,
I have 3 Bettas - Rocky, Fonky Monkey and Bluie. Rocky is about a year old and has never been sick. I got Funky and Bluie within the past month and when I got them home Funky became sick within 1 day. It was bacterial and we treated him and he's better. Then Bluie got sick w/ick, we also treated him and he's better. Now Rocky is sick and we are treating him - he has fungus. They are all in separate containers all 1/2 gallon and are next to each other. How come they all got sick at once? Are the diseases air borne? It's just strange that Rocky who has never been sick just became sick as the others got better. When I clean the tanks I put them in glass vases - could they be contaminated - or the net? I read that I should be putting Aquarium salt in the water to prevent these diseases - does that work? I never put salt in Rockys tank and he was disease free for over a year. Please let me know what I should do, I love my fish and want to make sure I'm giving them the best care possible.
Thanks again!!
