My Marine Betta needs diagnosis

[user 26995]

I would continue with daily water changes of about 50% and put the fish back in when it begins to eat 'normally.'

Okay,
thank you VERYMUCH!

Thanks, but hes still not eating well. I keep working on it though.

Well here is an update
Helix is interested in things (food) as it first enters the water. He chases it down, stops, and turns away. Hes still not eating. He is still swimming strong, and breathing normally. I think his nose is getting better. Its not a hole anymore. There is poop in the water every day when I get home. Its a small piece and its white. I dont think thats good.
Let me know what you think Lee. I'm doing regular 50% water changes and adding vitamins to the water. And feeding every day in hopes.

If this fish had never been 'de-wormed' then acquire the medication and have it ready to feed him when he starts to eat. You can get the info on this from this post: De-Worming and Fishes with Intestinal Problems.

Yeah, I put him back in his tank and he didn't even run and hide. He's always liked that opening in the middle of the rock. Thats why I knew something was up when this all started becuase he was hiding between one of the rocks and the bottom of the tank and didn't come out to eat for a few days.

One more lesson we can all learn...Critters and their habbits.... when you notice a change, pay attention.
