Betta with dropsy

Hello I believe my betta has dropsy. The only thing I can think of is my daughter unplugged the filter and it was off for over 24 hours. Ammonia spiked up during that and when I turned it on and did a water change thats when I noticed her. Is this enough to cause her to have dropsy? All other fish are fine. I have her in a small separate tank and plan on using will epsom salt be good to use?

Female betta at bottom or top of tank

Hello my daughter unplugged my filter without me knowing and by the time I noticed the water had turned pretty cloudy. I did a big water change but before I did I noticed my female betta swimming slowly at the bottom or even just resting a lot on the bottom. She rarely ever did this before. She seems less active but when I fed her she swam up to the top no problem and ate but shortly after was resting at the bottom again. What do you think is wrong and how do I help? She is an amazing fish and want her to be healthy again and live a great life. I feel horrible about this and don't understand how I didn't notice right away when getting home from work...

Best upcoming drivers

Wondering who you giys thought were the the best young drivers in modified or sportsman that you believe are future big block greats. I'm obviously really high on Yankowski and Alex Payne. Any others? I have a couple local guys that are young with impressive wins with less than 30 starts but not sure about them yet. Hoping to have some sportsman to keep an eye on

Biggest modified races in nys?

So I just got back into dirt racing and I'm so hooked idk how I was out of it for so long! I went to outlaw 200 and 3 days of super dirt week which I plan on doing both again this year. I was curious in some of the other biggest modified races in New York. I have heard of the Fonda 200 and I think there is another 200 lap race at orange county fair speedway toward the end of the season. Any info on those and any others I should check out? I work a ton and work early so out of state is pretty hard

Need help getting clawed frogs

Well I was emailing xenopus express back and forth to set up buying 6 clawed frogs. We agreed on 6 and I told them I would let them know when my tank was ready and they said all good. Now I said I was ready but they said my tank was enough for 2 clawed frogs as they need 10 gallons per frog. I let them know that we had a 75 gallon tank and we were supposed to get 6. Now I haven't heard back in over 24 hours and I am worried they will not sell to me now for some reason.... This is very upsetting as my wife and daughter have been talking about clawed frogs for months.... now idk if I can even get them when we spent all this time and money setting up a huge tank for 6 of them. Anywhere else online thats good to get them? I really wanted them from xenopus express as I bet they have the best frogs and best shipping. This was such a bad year for us and we were hoping to turn it around but looks like yet another thing fell threw for us. 😑

Cage for 4 rats recommendations

Hello my wife, daughter, and I have been looking into getting rats. We have been saving money up for months for the cage, everything they need, and some money saved in case of unexpected vet visits as I learned to do with exotic pets. At first we wanted hamsters or mice but the more research we did the more we learned rats would be best for us. We think 4 to 5 is a perfect number to have but feel like starting with 4 is ideal. I just want anyone to comment best specific cages for 4 rats that give plenty of room and best accessories your rats love the most. Also what are your favorite rats? So hard to pick just 4 lol

Whites tree frogs

Is 81ish degrees good enough for basking spot for whites tree frogs? Its usually 84 to 86 but we have our central air on. Should I get a slightly stronger bulb if it needs to be higher?
