[GSAS-Member] Betta Blout Now Better

["Susan Welenofsky" <welenofsky@comcast.net>]

I found a nice peach and red-streaked betta in the orphan tank Tuesday night at 
the Fish Store. It had blout, but I was going to see Steev at the board 
meeting. Steev recommended heat, salt, and vitamin-enriched food if it would 
eat, and to forget it if it was a bacterial infection, since most cases don't 
survive. Mike at the Fish Store said sulfa, but I thought I would try Steev's 
methods first. The betta had its scales popping out all over its swollen 
abdomen. It seemed alert though and like it wanted to eat, so I gave it frozen 
bloodworms, which it ate. I soaked some bloodworms in some of my vitamins and 
fed that to the fish this morning. By this evening, its scales are almost down 
to normal, eating like a pig, and it even flared it's gills at me!

I'm looking for someone to take the pair of beautiful Fundulapanax oesseri 
killies and the betta, Mr. Peach Surprise soon as I may be taking a trip to 
Alaska for a couple weeks.
