The baby passed about 2 weeks ago. My poor Betta got ick from him.

I thought you see ick moreso in the winter time.

Well after medicating, water changes and a few salt baths, he has survived. I really thought he was a goner. He hid, clamped fins, torn fins as if they had a secondary bacterial infection.

He's back to moving all around, fins are healed and he's eating well.

Looking pretty bad, but he was getting better in this picture.

Still getting better, color coming back, fins were a mess!

A week later, fins are healing, notice the tears and the hole in his back fin.

Today, on the mend and happy!

It's amazing how they can heal so fast. Happily eating brine shrimp, alittle flakes and loves the tiny New Life Spectrum betta pellets. The finest pellet I have ever seen. Like grains of salt lol.
