My betta suffering from fin rot and I have tried aquarium salt baths for the past few days and daily/every other day water changes for two weeks, and adding tons of IALs and other tannin to his tank and he's only getting worse. I have done hours of research on treatments and I am only more...

Buy him ASAP before he’s gone!

How long has the tank been up and running? I suggest adding some prime and a water change atm

I’m bad too. I’ve uprooted many plants and knocked over lots of driftwood at times

Sorry not the best photos, but here’s my chunky girl Wendy

How old is she? I doubt it’s injury if it’s happening to both eyes

I have 4 bettas and they all tolerate snail friends. My bettas all seem happy in their 5 gallons, but getting a bigger tank than that (10 gallon for example) would give you more room to experiment with plants, decor, and tank mates. Some plants I use are java fern, hornwort, amazon sword. Some...

You should get one! Taking care of a new fish can help take your mind off the pain.. in my experience anyway. I wish I could but I think my bf would flip since I already have 4 haha

Little Ivory

I keep Seachem Prime which neutralizes toxic levels of ammonia/nitrite. I also just bought some 72 hour heat packs in case of power outages, since I keep tropical fish and pge in CA is likely going to cut off the power at some point soon. Aquarium salt is also a good general treatment for many...

I have a baby betta in my 2.5 gallon for now. Needs a heater though. White clouds need schools I think and are very active so I don’t think that’s a good idea even though they are a cold water fish... otherwise shrimp would be perfect

Yeah I figured it was Columnaris after further research. I ended up euthanizing and it was a little traumatizing but I had to. This morning I woke up and two more were dead leaving only one alive. Hopefully he survives. This is the second time my dad have given me fish from that fish store and...

Ugh he’s swimming around the top of the tank sideways twitching. Poor guy idk what to do

I don’t think anyone meant to call you stupid, I’ve had people contradict my posts too and downvote them too. It’s just for the safety of the fish. I see how you read the post being about the smell and your response made sense for that. everyone just was thinking about the fish.
