Thought I would bring some laughter or just a little chuckle for today while looking at store reviews this week.

These fish seem to have a White Film on them that looks like as if their skin is shedding or peeling off. Also noticed the film is eating away at the fins. I asked google and did some research and I got a couple answers. The 2 most reasonable answers were slime coat syndrome or cotton wool disease. Would any of you folks know or have any more information on what this looks like or might be. If so how to treat it?

Edit: To Mention these are fish at PetSmart not my own personal tanks! Just no one could figure out what is going on and what could be wrong! I don’t work in pet care but am still learning about that area

Years ago, my coworker attended a wedding at which the reception dinner tables featured live betta fish in small bowls as part of the centerpiece. While chatting with the bride at the end of the evening, my coworker asked what they were going to do with all the fish. The plan was to flush them all down the toilet alive. My coworker immediately said no need for that and insisted on taking them all home.

That Monday she came to work and asked who wanted to adopt a betta fish. That was my first betta who I jokingly called my “rescue betta.” She lived for almost five years.

The wine glass was only her home for less than a day before I got her five gallon tank set up so please no betta lovers yell at me! I'm one of you!
