Aquarium Advice Regular
First........we are Beginners/first aquarium!
Now, about our tank:
Marineland Eclipse 5 Hexagon, 5 gallon, Carbon Cartridge/Bio-Wheel Filtration, 1 male betta, 1 ghost shrimp, Moss Ball, 5 live plants, gravel, Betta Log, Small Swim-Thru décor. Every 10-day/20% w/c with Prime and sometimes 1/2 tsp Stress Coat Plus. Food: Omega One Buffet Betta Pellets and NLS Betta Pellets. Frozen Bloodworm as a once/twice a week treat.
Towards the end of last month we notice some white stuff in the anal fin. Anal fin is blue. Done a 5- day treatment of Jungle Lifeguard All-In-One and it all cleared up. Immediately after treatment, done a 25% w/c, w/Prime. 24 hrs later, put in 3.38 oz of TSS. Everything was fine. Water parameters were fine.
Last Thursday notice some white in dorsal and anal fins. Dorsal fin appeared to be twisted. Immediately started another 5-day treatment of Jungle Lifeguard............it worked perfect for us last time, so we figured. Now into our 4 day of treatment and white stuff still showing in fins. Dorsal fin looks half gone and looks a little twisted, but looks like he is swimming around fine. He hasn't lost his appetite at all thru the treatment.
Will finish this treatment, do a 50% w/c, Prime and 24 hours later put in another 3.38oz of TSS. Have our carbon cartridge out, but bio-wheel is where most of our bb is at and bio-wheel was left in during treatment (advised to us). So, TSS will add the bb we will need.
We really don't know what our betta, Stormy, has on 2 fins, but w/his appetite still great and swimming around nicely (seems), don't know what to do next.
One thing we DON'T want to do is..........over medicate the aquarium/him! After this treatment, w/c, Prime and TSS, will keep doing 20% (or higher) w/c and adding Prime and HOPE his fins get better.
Any advice/recommendations would be appreciated.
