Betta help? (Again!)

My newest betta, Thranduil, is pretty poorly, and I have no idea why. 

He's a tail biter, but it's never gotten this bad. He's not swimming, won't come up to eat, and when he does move, it's all uncoordinated. (he's flipping to his side.)

Thought it was just a swim bladder issue, like I fed him too much, so I quarantined him in around 4 gallons, with nothing for him to hurt his fins more, just a little cave rock to hide in. And fasted him for a day. Next day, tried again, but now he won't eat.

Here's what he looked like, around early June. 

Here's what he looks like right now:

And he's got like a blue section near his head?

any ideas on what this is??

The quarantine tank I've dosed for 3 days with aquarium salt, and stress coat, like you use for fin rot, etc. 

Funny enough, his tank mate, Leon, has the most perfect fins ever. Like, no stress lines, no nothing. So, if they're sharing the same tank water and all, if it was bacterial, Leon would have it, yeah?

2/28 post - you can fix your windows yourself. its relatively easy and not to costly. you need to get some paint thinner, a paint scraper tool, some sand paper and new paint (best would be for outdoors that is moisture proof). You can get all this under $20 and with elbow grease, you can fix your window problem and not have to stress saving your babies. start by scraping the old paint off, then use the paint thinner if needed, next sand everything off, and repaint (not when freezing outside).

Hi, there!

I do believe you may be meaning to send this to goodbetterbetta (linked to the post about the window and 24 hours of hell). I'll tag them, though, so that perhaps they can see the helpful advice. :)

Okay, friends.

Please send good vibes my way. I just sent in a resume and application for an internship with the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission and the post office said it will get there on Wednesday. I know I would be perfect for this internship. So now all I have to do is wait for a response. *shakes nervously*

Corn Snake Plans

I, KENNY OF GOODBETTERBETTA, AM GETTING A SNAKE.

I've just decided it's time to stop grumbling and finally just commit and do it. There's someone who lives nearby my school who is re-homing some corn snake hatchlings on Craigslist and I'm going to go for it. And here are my thoughts on the subject.

I have actively wanted one for nearly a year

I have an apartment away from home (not inhabited by my disapproving mother) and earn a decent enough amount of money to provide it proper care

Like my fish, they do not require much attention (as opposed to a dog), which is perfect for a college student like myself

I had a test run in the pet store to decide if I was comfortable holding a snake and it was wonderful

I got bit during said test run by a cage-aggressive corn snake and I stayed calm and didn't freak out (in fact I insisted on holding a different one)

Of late I've even been dreaming about owning a snake

Although my mom forbids bringing a snake home, I do not plan on living at my house again for any great length of time. I am moving to Florida this summer to live by myself until school starts again, and from then on I will live in my apartment again (and then graduate and move elsewhere).

I just really really really really really want one

Ugh I'm so excited and nervous about it. Now I have to decide on whether I'm going to wait until mid-January when I get back to school from winter break and get one then, or get one earlier and just visit my apartment frequently to check on it. The later option seems silly, I guess, so I'll just have to be patient.

I'm thinking maybe I'll go pick one out, pay for it, and ask the breeder to put it on hold until I can come get it when I get back to school. I'll even offer to pay for the food while it's in her care.

I JUST. AHHHH!
