Update--new filter!!!! Hey everyone-- The new Azoo filter arrived yesterday, and I set it up this morning when I made it to the office. I had purchased some new aquarium plants yesterday and added them to the tank. I believe now, after lots of research, that Azul's fin problems are due to...

I'm not planning on keeping them in the same tank unless I decide to breed. I have a second tank that I would keep her in.

Update #2 Just when I thought that Azul was getting better, then I come back to work today, and the fins are more ragged than before, tail fin is in shreds :confused::( and the top dorsal fin is ragged and missing some bits. I'm so frustrated! I came to the office on Saturday, and the fins...

Bettas have always been my favorite. I have had them since I was a kid, except for an 8 year hiatus. It's hard to keep a small aquarium at home when you have 3 cats that are quite clever. :) I am going to branch out with the female and try ordering one. I have seen some beauties online, and...

Thanks! Me too! Azul is number 3 this year for a variety of reasons. First, I lost Bubbles when we had a horrible ice storm in December. My Dad had also passed away so it was terribly difficult. I lost Red in July, right after vacation (ammonia levels had skyrocketed, overfeeding is my...

Thanks for the suggestion. I'm looking to set up a second tank soon, and may go to that, since it's smaller. I'd like to get a female for variety purposes, and possibly breeding. I just ordered the filter that neilanh suggested. It was inexpensive (7.99)and looks like it would fit my small...

Just wanted to report that Azul is doing great! I finished the Furan-2 treatment and did a partial water change yesterday, adding the filter back in. I've never seen him happier. His tank levels are 0 ammonia, 0 nitrite and I don't have a tester for nitrate, but believe with the ammonia nad...

Thanks! This looks much better than the Whisper filter. Will it change my tank parameters when I switch?

Hello--- I have a Whisper filter system for my 2.5 gal tank. It works fine, but it seems to put out a very rapid flow, takes up lots of space in the tank, and I'm replacing the filters constantly (2-3x per week). I only have 1 betta in the tank and a snail, and the betta is few 2x per day...

:new-alien::bowl: Or CATS!!!! :new-alien::bowl: Your post made me chuckle and remember when my now cat, then kitten, tried to take a swim in my 10 gal aquarium just after college. He would lay on top of the hood, and bat at the fish, then one day the hood and lid couldn't hold his...

Little update Started the Furan-2 yesterday and noticed new fin development where he lost the big portion of fin over the weekend. :D. I will continue today's dose of Furan-2 and then do a 25% partial water change tomorrow am, and return the carbon filter. He's very active and is swimming...

Hi Everyone, I'm new here...Second post. Here's my problem. I have a beautiful blue betta (well, he was very beautiful until last week) at my office in a 2.5 gal tank. It's filtered, carbon. Temp ranges between 78-80 constantly. I clean the tank weekly, use salt, NovAqua, Amquel and...

Hi---I just joined and I have a beautiful blue betta named Azul! I'm hoping to become an improved aquarium owner by frequenting this board. :n00b: I love the wealth of advice on this forum and will be back soon!
