Dying Betta, Please Help!

[chrisinha]

I dont know what happened, and it might be too late now, but my betta stopped eating this morning and in a matter of hours he's got these white stringy stuff hanging from his head area, his pectoral fins are campled and his eyes cloudy. I couldnt see anything before because the betta is white. But he looks like he's aged 10 years!

Im treating with Maracyn and Maracyn 2. What else can I do? Any ideas pf what it might be??


Please, help!

Before someone asks me ammonia and nitrites are both 0, pH 7.5

Sorry to hear about your loss, Chrishinha
I guess that was some kind of fungus.
I have myself had absolutely no luck treating this.

thank you

i have no idea of what happened, it happened SO quick, but my question now is, should I continue treating the tank??? i have 7 small cories and 2 otos there only.

Sorry for your loss.

Diseases can be very unpredictable. One of my serpae tetras had similar symptoms like that just an hour or so before he died, but that was due to ammonia poisoning, which is not your case.

nope, no ammonia, no nitrites. i dont know about nitrates but i had done two 25% water changes in the last 5 days, and i dont know if nitrates could cause it either. so, should i continue the treatment or just stop it?
