Thanks, I will try that also. I picked up some meds that seem to be helping, I have two that stopped eating but are now trying little bits of food again (brine shrimp) and one even made a small bubble nest. As far as overfeeding, I think they are ok, I only give a very miniscule (spelling?) amount at each feeding, mostly to 'train' them to come to the top when I check on them. Maybe two to three flakes/bits per feeding. Normally, they are quite svelt looking (I have issues with overweight pets). I also try to exercise them by leading them around their 'homes' once a day. (I had read a scientific journal experiment whereby 15 minutes of 'chasing' with a net had bettas surviving on an average of 9 years. I don't like to chase them, but they will now follow my finger for a bloodworm treat). When they get 'puny,' I stop exercise to reduce any stress. My females are fatter than my males and they live in a 10 gallon aquarium with heavy filtration that seems to keep them moving all the time. (We poor females will always be pudgier than all you lucky males!!)
The meds do seem to be helping, I have been treating all of them for Dropsy and the two non-eaters are once again starting back up.
I do very much appreciate all the adivce and help, I knew I could count on y'all, even if these aren't reptiles (the ARE scaly, tho.....)
