My Dear friends-Owning 16 Bettas right now always makes me worry about what would happen if they got sick?......Only because most people keep their Bettas in tanks/container's of ten gals.or under,and meds usually start with dosing treatment for 10 gals. and up... Today I found something that was like a life-saver for me. What it is,is a list of medications that have been "down-sized" for use with sick bettas. It doses meds for 1 gal of water. I have never come across this before-but Right now ,I'm thinking it's a good thing because I have a sick girl whose life I am trying to save. I think Koko's although a goldfish site,has enough member's with this betta love that maybe we could " pin" this... What do you guys think?

Absolutely!!!! This could be a real life safer here!!!!!!!!! purpban.gif Please pin it for us! My boy is battling something now. Be it just simple constipation or whatever it has developed into, I'm not sure yet. It could save his life, and whoever else who has a sick betta. Nice going, Devs. Thank you! Just post it already, would you!! lol.GIF purpban.gif

Just out of curiosity ,what the heck is Abby's mom's name??? Thud.gif I knew there would be alot of interest in this-Hopefully we'll not have to use it too often,although we are both battling something now! blink.gif

LOL!! My name is Erin. As my name suggests, my daughter's name is Abigaile, and since she is my world, such is my screen name! Sorry, I don't think I ever stated it. When I joined, I wasn't really expecting to find such caring people on a message board that would care what your actual name was. But since I've been here, I've noticed that most are on first-name basis. This place is awsome!! I LOVE KOKO'S purpban.gif ( and that banana!) You guys are all great! heartpump.gif So helpfull and caring...Someday, I hope to be half as knowlegable as the rest of you. For my fishies sake anyway!
Devs
lol.GIF I knew you had your own name!!!!! I remember those days-it's all good! Yeah,Koko's is the best,isn't it? I love coming to this site!! I don't get too much done besides caring for my fish and being on Koko's,but I'm single,and have noone so it works for me!! biggrin.gif Well Erin,after you get Bo on the mend you'll definately know a little more on the seriousness of constipation,and overfeeding EtcIt took me a long time to cut back food-force daphnia,and pea once in a while etc.

That's really useful, thanks Sharon. At least now I know what all the meds are used for.

Wow Sharon, that is awesome!!!! What a help that is going to be. Hopefully Koko will Pin that somewhere so it will be handy when we need it.

Nice JOB.
