So I have a 10g aquarium around 9/10 months old. I've been keeping some ghost shrimp, nerite snails and a crown tail betta in it until last night--he died of fungus. He had been seemingly healthy until last night. He was eating and swimming normally and looked fine the night before. However, last night, I came home from work and his scales on his right side looked terrible and had fungus all over them. This was around midnight, so I figured first thing this morning I would go get some sort of fungal combatant. By then, it was too late. I was forced to give him an in-home burial at sea.
Tank Parameters:
Ammonia - 0
Nitrite - 0
Nitrate - 5
My question: Being that the betta was the only fish in there, do I need to treat the aquarium for fungus in order to put another fish in it? I know anti-fungals will kill my inverts, hence the reason I am asking. If it is okay to put another fish in without treating the whole aquarium, then I would like to avoid having to treat it since I don't know what I would do with my inverts.
