Jasmine ate her other pellet this am! Just checked on her and her back, caudal fin was mostly open! Hum. She was just at the top by her heater. Prime is much easer to dose! I had such a hard time trying to figure out NovaAqua and AmQuel at first. Are their any down sides to Prime as opposed to the others? I was wondering about something I read on the bottle about it, it said something about your filter....is it safe for unfiltered tanks? As to Jasmines gill area. When it first got bad I thought I saw something round in there, it was the color of the area around it the size of this--> o but later it wasnt so visible. But when I googled flukes it looked nothing like them.im not sure if it was shadow or what. Also I dont know how they would have gotten in her tank unless she had them all along. I got her last July I think. I added photos of my first betta, Harley and my other little girlie Chloe to my profile page. check them out. I just joined Yuku to post about Jasmine but they have a really nice and easy to use profile set up here!
