O In my 28 gallon nano cube I have 5 black skirt tetras, 3 guppies, 3 platys, and a crown tail beta. When I came home last night my beta which is normally really nice was attacking everything it got close to all of my parameters are normal but I put a new piece of driftwood that had been soaking for 6 weeks in a trash can because it was a big peice but the water is really brown from it I am doin 50% pwc every week but does anyone have any idea why all of a sudden he had become so aggressive?
 
Beta fish are usually very aggressive twords other fish, they are best kept alone or in a divided tank the driftwood should have been soaked in a tub and the water changed until it no longer was tea colored
 
I have had him for over a month and he hasn't so much as chased any of the other fish that's why I thought it was weird like he was having an extremely bad day or something. And I got the wood from my sister in law and she said she did it all but it had been out of water for a month and I guess it being out of the water caused it to leach more
 
Idk much more about betas but the DW will leech again, even drying out for a month will make it leech again, the stuff it leeches isn't bad just unsightly . Ive also heard that some form of boiling and soaking will held waterlog your DW
