I had a hanging house plant hanging by my 10 gallon Betta tank (still in cycle) everything was doing really good. But then the dirt from my plant got all over inside the tank. I got out as much as I could. Let the filter get the little pieces. Cleaned the filter pad,Then did a 70% water change. Put him in stress. Fin rot is starting. Did my water test (test strip) most is reading caution, or stress. So I took the gravel out. Did alittle water change. About 35% or so. Put some of the water from my 75 gallon (perfect water levels) into the Betta tank. And took a few things (decorations) out of my 75 and put them in there too. Things are reading alot better. I cleaned the filter again in a bowl of water from my 75 gallon too. He seems to be better. Time will tell. I don't want to use meds. I'm gonna keep doing what I'm doing for a week and see. I wanted to post this cause alot of people don't like using meds. I do use jungle right start for a conditioner, but that is it. Anyways, if you have any thoughts let me know. Thanks!
