First of all I didn't thinks you can put Beta's together in
the same tank ,they fight to the death by locking jaws ,SO
the story goes,The water has to be VERY clean for them not to
get infections ,Dropsy"Gill disease and so forth ,Mind is
recovering from ,I think {gill disease} but he also has
swollen tummy which has since gone down a bit ,I fed him some
Frozen pea's "just the inside part" and seems to be making
recovery,we will watch and inform ,Keep a close eye on them
and all you can do in keep the water very clean and a ph of
7.o ,good luck ,Rich.
