Hey! My current tank right now is 20 gallons and I have 2 angelfish (one is on the smaller side and the other is huge) and 2 cory catfish. I was gifted a betta that was put in the tank while I was out of town, but I'm having some problems and have had to quarantine it. He has red fins. I suspect fin nipping and now fin rot. How long until I see some sign of recovery? He is on medication (Bettafix) but the redness hasn't gone away at all. Although, his fins are showing some regrowth.
That aside, I just bought a new tank! I'm getting a 55 gal. I'm so excited, but I have a few questions. I want to do a planted tank, but know basically nothing so any advice would help. Also, I wanted to do sand and gravel in the tank, but I heard about gas bubbles killing fish? What's that about? How do I cycle my tank? I want to add a little school of neon tetra as well. Do you guys think that will be ok? Thats the only addition in fish I'm thinking about so far. Do you think if my betta gets better that I could put him back in as well? Now that there is more room. Lastly, please any advice on anything even if I didn't mention it or any mistakes you made!! THANK YOU!!
