Good morning all,
I have tried several times to keep Berta's but they all get terrible fin-rot, or never shake what they come infected with.
I house them in heavily planted 15 gal tanks with no other fish. I do twice weekly water changes. The tanks have always been properly cycled and the Nitrates down to around 10ppm.
Yet every time they show signs of fin-rot within weeks and nothing makes it go away.
Is this a result of getting them in the little cups from the stores? Would I likely have better luck getting one from a breeder online?
Thanks for reading this far.
