That was a great story and I'm glad you kept on going. I totally agree with you about some people not treating them as pets but decors. Of course they are getting overshadowed by other pets which you can interact at a greater level. But fish keeping is about serenity. I'm not as experienced as...
That is an amazing transformation. I will definitely look into it. My boy needs some special treatment too.
I swear, every day, before I can act on your advices, there is a new problem. Today I woke up to my betta having a fungus infection, I think. The part of the dorsal fin that fell off is...
Unfortunately you are right. I went to the pet shop with the idea of buying 6 ember tetras and some corydoras. They didn't have ember tetras but the staff recommended me these golden danios. They are called chinese danios too. They told me it is perfectly fine to put them together with a betta...
I'm back with an update.
Now that everything became so peaceful in the aquarium, I decided it's time to populate the aquarium. I bought 6 gold danios and 3 corys. Water is stable, new guys are happy and adapting but my betta is stressed again. I bought several big plants and improved overall...
This is an update post.
Thanks to Enchantress' suggestion. I bought the medicine, almond leaves and aquarium salt.
I started treating with the medicine for 3 days according to the instructions. After that I did a %50 water change and added the leaves and the salt.
His infection is healed...
I think my problem was the test kit. I was measuring about 7.2 PH (with a test strip). I thought the PH was stable so I was not testing it when I was doing my daily water check (with a proper water testing kit). Today I brought some water to my workplace to check the ph with a calibrated ph...
I've ordered the leaf and the salt. Waiting on that.
But today I came from work and my betta has a clear white spot on his head. The photographs I shared here was his left side. They are getting better by the day. But now, this happened in the time from yesterday night to this evening, his...
I completely agree with you. I didn't trust myself enough to make decisions but it got me here. I'm doing the cruel treatment now.
But for the past few days, I've been doing aggressive daily %50 water changes and the scar like structure on my fish is getting better. It was like an open wound...
Hello,
Thank you so much for the detailed answer. I'm a new fishkeeper. I've done my quite share of research and I keep doing it. Unfortunately there are too many things and I'm sure I'm not keeping up with everything.
I've set up a 70l (20gal) tank with a filter and a heater. I've connected...
Hello friends,
I started to notice some weird looking spots on my Betta. I researched it as much as I can but couldn't put it in to a certain category. These spots are on one side of the fish. I will leave some pictures below. If anyone experienced something like this, I'm open to all...
If I buy the filter you recommend, I can't add the top cap of the aquarium.
Would you recommend Eheim Pick up 160 ?
It only have a sponge inside. Would that be enough for the tank ? I only have plastic plants in the aquarium.
And also, do I have to add the bacteria solution again with the...
Hi. I installed it as instructed. It started making the noise within the first 2 hours. It's vibrating the whole aquarium. From a google search, I've found out that lots of people had this issue. I tried the following;
-Shutting it off for few minutes in case of a trapped bubble
-Cleaning it...
Hello friends,
I'm a complete beginner in this hobby. 2 days ago, I bought the Superfish Tropical 70 starter kit.
I set it up as instructed and did all the water and bacteria treatment with the added solutions. Everything looked perfect but the pump makes a vibration noise. I disassembled it...
