No corys. Get your betta and guppy a 5 gallon each :)

they will eat anything, though it's better if you buy shrimp specific pellets

if the shrimp can fit in their mouths, they'll probably get eaten

I think you can use seachem directly. For aquarium salt it should be 10-15 minutes and you can do it daily or every other day, depending on his condition. You do not need to do any baths right now, as the tumor/cyst is still intact. Just keep him as comfortable as possible and it doesn't hurt to...

Don't add salt to the tank! Do salt baths instead

Looks like a tumor? I could be wrong, but if I'm not, then there's nothing you can do

Any long white poop? Any pictures? You could try feeding him daphnia as a laxative to help clear him. Otherwise, I'd just suggest high quality foods like bloodworms, mosquito larvae, mysis shrimp, etc

my betta mahachaiensis, Daffy :D

Looks like it, can you get a clearer picture?

Do you have a picture? It could be many things, seed shrimp, copepods, water fleas

I wouldn't add anymore fish to your tank though :(

Do you have a picture? If she can still swim normally and is eating fine, she should recover on her own as long as your parameters are perfect! Adding an almond leaf (or any source of tannins) will help her too.

Making my own fish food seems like a fun cool project but I have no idea where to start :D. Was wondering if anyone had their own recipes that their fish absolutely scoffed down. I'd love recipes for all different types of critters, could be interesting and my fish eat everything. If not, the...

I've been considering doing this, I just might! Could you share your recipe? How do you bind them together?

I don't know much about them, but I know for sure you couldn't fit all those fish in a 5 gallon. With or without the betta, that 5 gallon is very overstocked. And besides, all those fish would be happier in a rectangular-shaped tank of 10 gallons or more each.
