When I put the tap water conditioner in my water. How long do I wait before Doing water change. Ie:minutes or hours?

Ok! Now looking a bit closer. It does look like a parasite if some kind. I am doing weekly 25% water changes. Temp is at 82.

No! They are def not worms. Maybe the picture I posted wasn't a good one. Just looks like something growing

It was suggested by LFS that I use API Pimafix. So,I did a 7 day course and then a 25% water change

found this pic online. My fish doesn't have ALL these white thinks. Just one on back fin but wanted to show u a pic

No! It won't come out visible on camera.

Ok! It is definitely not Ich! No white spots. Fish have white growths not white spots. Mostly on the body. Looks like a horn where the white sticks out.

Should I be hosing off the filter during every water change?

Thanks! I've had the tank set up for about 3 months. I will shorten the light span. Would plecos help? Or just the snails?

Should I replace these plants or is this normal?

What is bb? (Sorry, I'm still new)

Tested tap water readings: PH 7.0 Ammonia 0.25

Thanks! I appreciate so much your input and certainly don't mind a the questions. I will test the tap water next. You a have been so great and so helpful.

I don't have strips. I use API master kit

Did the anti fungal kill off the good bacteria and now would need to recycle?

And most of the fish are spending most time up at top of tank ??

I did a 50% water change this morning. Just tested water now and these are my readings: Ammonia 0.25 PH 6.5 Nitrite and Nitrate 0

The betta died this morning

The betta passed away this morning. So sad! I loved that fish. I just finished doing a 50% water change so hopefully I won't lose any more fish.

I've had the betta for about a year now. He was my first fish:(. The ich was on the black neon tetra which that fish has since passed. I don't see ich on anyone else. The fin rot seems like it happened over night.

Should I stop the Pimafix?

Thanks all for the feedback. I'm working on getting the temp up to about 88 per your advice. Tomorrow doing a 50% water change and will add some aquarium salt. Anything else?

Btw, how do they get fin rot?

Ok! Thanks so much. I will do a daily water change and stop the meds.
