So I rinsed well and added a new substrate so I can plant plants. Or of course is cloud but went down today, I imagine by tomorrow it should clear up. I did this because I had mystery snails die and the betta die that was in there. I still have a clown pleco, is he okay in the cloud? Also, will...

Oh yes I have a white mystery snail named pearl and a black racer Nerite snail that I’ve had for two years as my only inhabitants in my new tank at the moment. it worked out that we are doing an in snail cycle, but they seem to be doing fine in that large of a tank. I’m only a bit worried...

The long finned betta I had for 2.5 years but he died. I have upgraded to a 20 gallon tank and I’m going to be ordering a plakat female betta from an online breeder. I’m trying to brain storm a tank mate, as I think the bamboo shrimp is very cool. Any other shrimp I believe would be food for...

Oh but the betta will hate that. So I had one before with a HOA filter and a male dumbo eared betta abs the betta didn’t bother the bamboo shrimp, he was afraid of him! Are plakat female bettas more aggressive?

It’s weird because it’s all over aquarium forums that some bristlenoses attacked their goldfish and ate their slime coat, snd it happened to someone’s betta too. So weird. I may go with a clown pleco instead.

What’s a spray bar?

Is this a good tank mate in a 20 gallon tall heavily planted tank? I’m going to order baby female betta from a breeder and have the brisstlenose in their first. I don’t think the betta will be much of an issue, I’ve heard pleco sucked the slime coat off a betta, is this possible for the pleco to...

I just set up my 20 gallon. Once it’s established I would love to add bamboo shrimp. I have a bubble filter, can they filter feed and eat well with a bubble filter if there is food in the water colum? Can they eat off the filter moving upward? Thanks

I had to restart my well established tank. I made a dumb mistake. I had a betta fish pet dying( had him 2.5 years) and I was soo nervous to euthanize with clove oil ( which was a peaceful death) I didn’t think things through. I had the snails in a hospital tank for treatments I was trying for...

It’s sad, I will miss fin.

You should knock the poor thing out with clove oil first, that’s definitely the most humane thing to do.

Clove oil is definitely much more humane than freezing water, that would torture them before death. Clove oil is fast and puts them to sleep, I definitely the fish should be knocked out before added to freezing water. You just have to make sure it’s a lethal dose and that the fish is in it for...

I euthanized him. I used clove oil and it was humane and painless. I used a lethal dose. I added it, at first he tried to swim radically for only about 10 seconds, so I hope he didn’t feel anything. Then he passed out.he loved his fins slightly as he started to fall into a deep sleep. I added...

So my old betta is dying. He was swimming in his side weird for awhile and after betta revive medication he started doing doing the vertical lay. I lowered the water, stopped the filter and yesterday he found a spot on a leaf where he has been ever since yesterday. This morning I thought he...

Oh was around 7, no nitrates or ammonia which I wouldn’t expect because I’ve literally changed the water everyday for like 2 weeks. He ate yesterday and got worse 24 hours after betta revive. I just turned off his bubble filter and lowered the water to where he’s just sitting on a plant and...

I’ve been treating him for two weeks now with aquarium salt,, tried an antibiotic, and his conditions declined rapidly with betta revive instantly, , so I do think it was the medication that might of caused the rapid decline. Either that or the medication caused my tank to re cycle. He ate and...

So I had a betta fish that has fungas on his fins. He was still eating and swimming so I tried betta revive. 24 hours later he was so much worse! He is now doing the vertical death hang! He went from being sick to eating to not in 24 hours on this dumb medication! I changed the water last night...

Hm I’ll try feeding him again, maybe he was sleeping. He ate yesterday and was trying super hard to get the food., not sure why his aim is so bad with food. I put the medication in, so I don’t think it’s due to sickness.

So I think my betta has body rot. Long story short. 1.5 years ago he shared his tank with ember tetras that I found out were nipping his fins. I kept removing stuff from the tank, until I saw it! I rehoused those fish. His fins never healed, they looked okay, but they never fully returned and he...

I have driftwood in there but it’s overEd in plants. He’d have to really try to hurt himself on that. It’s been 4 days on kanoplex and his fins are covered in white fuzz. I have snails, what can I do?

I’ve have a Beta fish in a planted 10 gallon for 2.5 years now. I had him for about 10 months with embra tetras until I saw them nipping at his fins. I kept taking things out of the tank thinking he was hurting himself. So I brought them back to the fish store, he been alone on there with some...

I have a betta in a 10 gallon. I previously had him with Ember tetras, when I found out they were nipping his fins I found them a new home. His fins never totally healed bir it’s been 9 months and he seemed fine. Now he has white fuzz on his top fin and his body has two discolored spots. The...

I have a betta fish in a 10 gallon tank with driftwood and Anubis plants. I had him in with ember tetras for about a head before I saw them snipping at his fins! He’s a half moon betta and his fins are destroyed! I re homes the tetras about year ago and his fins never fully healed, but he...

My toddler dumped three containers of fish food in my 10 gallon betta fish tank when I was up putting baby to bed. I didn’t notice it until 30 min later. I normally have it in a locked cab but didn’t latch it after morning feeding! Ugh! I immediately started cleaning the tank. It took me 2...

Nowhere on that thread does it say pepermint tums are okay
