I thought I’d share this here! :hilarious: Credit: chrisforthought on IG!

Can you describe the wound? I can't see it clearly from the picture. It would also help if you filled out the emergency template!

I haven’t posted on here in a while… I couldn’t get a good picture, but here’s a baby possum! And this is probably my favorite picture of a jumping spider I ever took :)

The bowl is going to be in bright indirect light and I’m planning on getting a small aquarium light for it as well, so I think it’s going to be okay. I also started considering getting shrimp instead of a nerite. Does anyone know if that would work better?

I was considering ramshorns, but I’m not the biggest fan of “pest” snails. Although if they happen to sneak into my bowl I’ll let them stay lol. Algae seems to grow pretty fast in my current 1.6 planted tank. I guess I’ll have to set up the bowl to see if it will be a suitable home for a nerite...

I wanted a planted bowl for a while now, and I finally decided to get one. I’m getting a 3 gallon bowl. It’s going to be completely planted and I have a heater that will fit in it perfectly. However, I don’t want to have a filter (I think I’m going to be trying the walstad method) and I wanted...

His coloring is so pretty! I love the light blue spots on his tail :) I agree with RMtanks and I have an additional question, do the tips of his tail seem darker?

I didn’t even realize it, but yeah they’re illegal here :( Water spangles and red root floaters might work!

I was told that my local PetSmart temporarily stopped selling fish. Did anyone's local PetSmart do the same? I think it might of been because of zebra mussels, but I'm not 100% sure if that's why.

After trying all non-antibiotic treatments to treat my betta, I was advised to use ciprofloxacin since he most likely had a gram negative bacterial infection. Unfortunately my betta did not make it this time (S.I.P. Tyler) The first time I treated him with antibiotics, I flushed the water...

It would really help if you filled out the emergency template that way it will be a lot easier to help Since your tank is 10 gallons, there's really no reason for you to be taking him out of his tank during water changes. What do you mean by deep cleaning the gravel? A picture of the fin rot...

That looks like it could be protein film. Protein films are nothing to worry about, just scoop them out with a cup. It’s probably there because your filter isn’t on. Having a filter is necessary for your fish tank. It sounds like the one you have, has a flow that is too strong for your betta...

What kind of rocks did you put in his tank? Can you post a picture of the jelly?

I'm so sorry to hear that. I have been busy and I wasn't able to check up on this thread. I wish I could of helped more.

His top fins seems a little bit clamped, but if he's active and eating, that's a good sign. Just in case: How big is the tank? Do you have a filter and heater? Do you know what your water parameters are? (ammonia, nitrites, nitrate, temperature, etc.) Welcome to fishlore btw
