Re: help, my betta is dying

I'm really frustrated and confused. I took the time to answer all your questions as thoroughly as I could, and I'm still waiting for some guidance. Baloo seems a little better today, but I desperately need help figuring out what's going on with him. I know I've done my best to provide all the ...

Re: help, my betta is dying
