What I read says their minimum tank size is 30 gallons? My tank is like 2 gallons full, if that

Your tank is nice and tall! Get a couple java fern or other tall growing plant and it would look much more filled and alive!

Look at these guys! I bought my plants from the sealed packages at Petco! Somehow these little bastards just popped up. I've had this tank set up for almost two months. My Betta, Thanksgiving, is still recovering from a barrage of illness, including fin rot. The tank is fully cycled, heated...

sorry to hear about your betta. this sounds completely like internal parasite

awesomeness!

thanksgiving is alive! i still wake up some mornings and see him laying there and think he's dead, but he's eating and sometimes swimming around his water quality is perfect and the plants in his tank are doing well. i just fed him and he seems pretty happy and energetic. his fins are still so...

this is thanksgiving right now! i've been trying to stick to steve's advice(owner of angelsplus) and so far, more than anything else, it's been helping. he had suggested that i keep the tank cool and dark, and not feed thanksgiving at all. and i've also been keeping the water very still. i've...

i have googled and i cannot find one. i would do anything to get in touch with someone who can physically help me!!

update: i treated thanksgiving with the tetracycline and in not sure it did much. following the treatment i put him in a planted cycled tank i had set up while treating him. he's basically oscillating between swimming around, inquisitive and hungry and laying sideways at the top of the tank...

hello again! after i finished the 10th day of parasite medication and received my angels plus filter, i added thanksgiving to his 10gal. the biologically filter cycled my tank immediately and my plants were thriving. i spoke to the owner of angels plus a couple times on the phone and got some...

i love the whisper 10i. it comes with a biowheel too so you wouldn't have to worry as much about filters destroying your cycle because it comes with a bio wheel for bacteria to grow on. it also just hangs off the ledge, so it fits in all the tanks i've had.

follow the label. i always do daily pwc while medicating, making sure the new water has the same ratio of medication as the tank water. but i also treat in a quarantine tank that is not cycled. the reason i suggest this is because you can monitor the fish much more closely. you can see when...

my ratio with prime is 2 drops a gallon. i've been using it recently but i don't know how great it is, my betta seems more lethargic when i use that versus a more basic dechlorinator. the filter itself harbors the most bacteria in your tank. you should RARELY have to replace a whole cartridge...

he is in a hospital tank.

50% daily would good. especially if the tank isn't cycled, he can't redose the medication without changing out some of the water

i didn't see the part mentioned about the pimafix. keep updated on how that works

adding a little aquarium salt to the tank will not kill parasites or fungus!

i didn't mean quarantine him from other fish. whatever he has is inhabiting that tank. he needs to be in completely clean water. if he has fungus or parasites they're living in the aquarium with him

based on his symptoms i would definitely say he has either a fungal infection or parasites. i would quarantine him with fresh water immediately. i've gotten nothing but bad advice that's almost killed my better from the fish stores in my experience.

he's not active unless he sees me. he's generally lethargic, but i've been thinking he's just bored because he's in a completely bare tank and sad from being sick...

try daily 50% water changes with just the prime. you might be over de chlorinating the water. you shouldn't have to use something to replace his stresscoat. just curious, why do to rinse the decor? your beneficial bacteria also lives on items in your tank. your research is right, pristine water...

poor baby! Are you doing daily PWC?

i agree. also, you said you're working on a c02 system? your plants really need the carbon to thrive. i bought a complete system at petco for $50 and it took 5 min to set up. your fish might be having a reaction to the amount of additives for your plants.

for future reference, those plastix plants can make it easy for a betta to rip fins or possibly in this case brush off some scales. the only fake plants i would have in a tank are silk plants.
