After a long battle with dropsy, my betta finally died this morning.

I have increased the temperature, added epsom salts, eurythrommisin antibiotic, and kept the light off. Betta has shruken in size some what and is less bloated. Clearly still has dropsy, but is swimming more actively and seems happier. Since dropsy cant be cured and the effects of it cant be reversed, I am not looking to "save" the fish, but I am looking to make his last days/weeks as comfortable as possible.

Betta has dropsy. Still active and eating, but most certainly dropsy. Treated water with salt and epsom salt and antibiotic. hopefully will ease condition of betta

Changed the tank to a Marineland Contour 3, as it has a better quality filter with something approaching a power head and a full glass lid. Need to do a better job measuring if it is actually a full 3 gallons or not. Will update pictures soon.

Small nintrate spike in betta tank. Its just Betta and one small (marble sized) mystery snail. Not sure why the sudden spike. Changed water to offset spike, no amonia in tests
