    I need help - Betta dorsal fin is gone

    UPDATE: He is now just laying on a leaf and doesn't move. I tried to coax him off to eat but be just looked at me. Dropped a pellet right in front of him and he did eat it but I'm not liking this at all. The crater on his back isn't closing up at all. It's almost like I see healing growth then...

    Here's what I have: bristlenose pleco 6 guppies - 4 female, 2 male 3 platys and if course my 6 danios and a couple snails Today is day one with the newbies. I'm really enjoying the colorful guppies. They're adorable! Nothing super exciting but it's my first attempt at a community tank

    I need help - Betta dorsal fin is gone

    It's really quite incredible. Interesting about the lumps your guy had. I believe I'm seeing another bump on his body but I wasn't sure. I'll just keep doing what I'm doing with him until it looks like he's suffering. I won't let him suffer. Right now he's swimming and eatiing so it's all...

    I need help - Betta dorsal fin is gone

    Thought I'd post an update in case anyone has this happen. I had such a terrible time looking for anything similar so thought I'd share it here. Basically I believe he has either a cyst or some sort of growth which completely obliterated what was left of a dorsal fin. It grew from under his...

    New 32 Flex tank is ready! Would love stocking advice?

    Hahaha smart cat! I didn't plan well when I placed this tank. I have to get up on a step stool so I can see down into the chambers. I've read how some folks have customized the filter blocks. Threw out the carbon and layered in more media and sponges etc. If you switch yours up do a post on it...

    New 32 Flex tank is ready! Would love stocking advice?

    I absolutely love it. Cleaning is a little tricky in the filter compartment. I now have a narrower tube on my syphon to go in the little areas on the sides. I also had a bit of an issue getting the lighting to sync with my time zone - poor Danny's got a 1:00am thunderstorm. I've read some people...

    New 32 Flex tank is ready! Would love stocking advice?

    Thank you! Should I do a group of neons as well as say the angel fish, Betta or gouramis or instead of?

Most of the plants seem to have settled in...

    New fish owner

    Just an FYI - I bought the best test strips I could find and in hindsight I could have bought 2 API master kits for the cost of all the strips I bought. If you do get strips cut them in half lengthwise as you'll be going through alot while you're cycling. One master kit will last a long time...

    I need help - Betta dorsal fin is gone

    I started aquarium salt yesterday and finally picked up some ES today. Just finished work, did a quick wee WC and fed him. His fin is looking excellent!!! No bumps, no weirdness at all. Looks like a small fin. But he's still laying around alot. I have a home office which he is in and today was...

    I need help - Betta dorsal fin is gone

    Thank you ��. I was cautiously optimistic yesterday as what's left of that fin is a nice blue, looks healthy but I was a little confused by his lethargy. Trying to not fuss with him too much because the constant water changes are stress enough. He hates them on a good day. This...

    I need help - Betta dorsal fin is gone

    It's hard to get ahold of New life but I'll search around. I can get it off Amazon but its $26 for a little jar. Bug Bites are really good and those I can get I've never given him frozen food so may pick up some brine shrimp. Holy moly what a journey you've had. How is he now? Did he ever turn...

    I need help - Betta dorsal fin is gone

    I really like her videos. She speaks human ��. I'll get ES today after work. I read through your info on using ES and as it's not harmful to plants it's easier to keep him in his tank. It's 10g. I don't have an extra heater and our place gets quite cool at night. He's happy and energetic and the...

    I need help - Betta dorsal fin is gone

    Thank you for the reply! I apologize in advance for this lengthy reply but the more information the better. I went through my photos and texts to try and get a timeline of his dorsal fin deteriorating. End of Feb, approximately, I added 3 new plants to his tank - Anubias, Frogbit and...

    I need help - Betta dorsal fin is gone

    Last fall I did a terrible thing and then followed that with more mistakes....I put zebra danios in with a male Betta. Fast forward Betta is in his own 10g but he suffered damage both from nipping and then stress from the subsequent moves. His dorsal fin seemed to clamp (all his fins were a...

    Hi everyone!

    As an introduction to how I got started - I was gifted a Betta one evening at dinner. My MIL had just passed away but before she did she asked her daughter to buy a Betta for my FIL for father's day. Well I guess 2 people got the memo, so I took the extra Betta. I went straight to the store and...
