Re: Betta struggling after water change


Do you have a bottle of BettaFix anywhere near the tank? My mom once grabbed the wrong thing and put BettaFix in my brother's tank by mistake, and it didn't end well for his betta. I'm worried that might have happened to you too.

Also, I want to ask, is there a little solid stuff on the cap of ...
