Well it is not much different cleaning your tank then you normally do. Well so I will tell you how to do it.
First you get the fish into another tank (or some where you can keep it for a how ever long it takes for you to clean your tank.) Once that is over empty the tanks water out in a sink (make sure NO rocks fall out if they do put them back in the tank.) Then you get a strainer (or something similar) to dump your rocks in and run HOT water though them (to kill all the bacteria in the rocks) once that is done (NOTE: make sure all the water that is falling out of the holes is CLEAR water not even a tad bit dirty). Now we must was the tank grab a cloth and put HOT water on on the cloth then wash the tank with the cloth. If you use artificial plants just run them under HOT water. If you use real plants put new ones in the tank. Now put your rocks and plants in as you normally would do but fill the tank with your normal water (can be bottled water) in make sure it is purified. Then put your betta in the tank and give him his medication. Hope this helps,

Hello everyone!! Bo’s tail rot is getting better, but he has another problem. He has just been sitting at the bottom of his tank, kind of sideways, all the time. When I go and tap on his tank he comes up, but other than that he only comes up for air. He isn’t eating either. He has a few, (very few) white spots on his face. I’m not sure if he has Ick or if he is just depressed. Does anyone have any sugestions? I could really, REALLY use some. This is the first time my betta has gotten sick, and I’m not sure what to do. Thanks, I really appreciate it.

Well things hear is not so grate well first my fish depressed, has Fungal Infection, and Bacterial Infection. So I went and got some medicine (when I say medicine I mean 2) and did a full water change gave him some medicine and a treat . He is doing better tho not much but better .

Well, I have 4 bettas. One is recovering from fin rot and now two more are in the very beginning stages. I put a little aquarium salt in their tanks ever weekly water change and keep the temperature steady. They get wonderful water changes and still get fin rot. Is this because bettas are just really prone to getting it? I thought I was being a good mom and taking care of my babies. But no such luck. I am getting meds today, so they will be on the road to recovery. But blah. Fin rot sucks.

Happy holidays!

Edit: found a nice little fish store close to my town that I had no idea was there! Picked up some meds the owner swears by and started treatment yesterday. Keep you posted!
