He died a couple weeks ago :( he was old-ish and had bad fin rot

Yeah the tank is cycled. I was just wondering if the aquarium salt and changing the substrate would affect it?

Yesterday my betta passed away :( he was a good little fish and I'm sad that he won't be with me anymore, he was my little buddy. Anyways I had a question about cycling his old tank. I was using aquarium salt to treat his fin rot, and I was wondering if I should do a 100% water change then...

ok just wondering!

Ok thanks! I'll do another tiny water change in the morning and hope everything goes okay. I just added some indian almond leaves.

Thanks! yes I'm setting up two 5 gallon tanks :) I haven't set up the tanks yet. Is 5 gallons too small? and are shrimp okay with bettas?
