Hi all, so i have a 15 gal planted tank with 7 guppies (relatively small around 9 months old, 5 females and 2 males) and a young male veiltail betta. In the tank i have multiple plants and a large piece of mopani wood. Recently i've been looking into getting some tetras for the tank. This would...

that’s a a good idea! it’s not possible for me to do so but you could definitely give it a try

It's in my bedroom so not necassarily, but my family do make frequent trips to 'visit' him, especiallynow that nothing is covering his tank up

you're welcome! For some reason, alot of waste ends up under them and when you even slightly lift them, it all comes spilling up which is so so annoying haha

thank you! And yes, he has two floating tunnels because he loves them so much haha. He doesn't like people standing too close, and anything moving towards his tank at all. It's hard because my family loves him and don't understand that i need them to stay away because they think he's perfectly...

Thank you both! I'm glad to hear it shouldn't upset the parameters! I haven't actually seen any of the fish go near the suspected area so who knows, but thank you both for the help!

Hey guys, i've had a male betta since july 2020, he lives with 6 guppies, snails and is in a 15 gal fully planted tank. I went on holiday for 2 weeks in august, and came home on the 25th august 2020, to see his right eye had popeye. I began treatment using 'melafix' which cleared it up within...

I have a 15gal fully planted tank with mopani wood. It houses 6 female guppies, quite a few rabbit + nerite snails, and a male betta. One of my female guppies had become very shy and hid at the back of the tank alot, and because of this she grew thinner than the others. I fed alot of food that...

Hey everyone, i've got quite a number of fish related problems happening right now so you may see a few of my threads! So i've had a male betta since January 2020, who has a 10 gal fully planted tank and a few snails! However, in the past month i've noticed him getting spooked easily. If you...

h hey! I've never actually dealt with fin rot but i wpuld think so yes. Perhaps for 5-10 minutes? Hope this helps Hey all, i never actually updated you and it isn't a happy one. Sadly, she was too far gone and the salt baths only made her comfotable in her last few days. She passed 4 days...

Hey all! After going on vacation for two weeks, i came home to find one of my male bettas with popeye. He got fed on mondays and thursdays over two weeks but no waterchanges obviously. I'm guessing he injured his eye on mopani wood and it got infected due to no clean water but i'm not sure if...

true, i suppose it's up to him. When i had to put my betta fish down, i read about the feeezing method and although she was small i didn't want her to suffer more than her illness had made her suffer. i bought clove oil but she passed before i could even euthanise her.

well first things first, your waterchange schedule is not great. you NEVER do full changes, that's really stressful and your tank basically cycles itself all over again. Secondly, your betta diet isn't great either. feeding constant freeze-dried bloodworms is very fatty, shortens lifespan and...

please do not do the freezing method, it is actually really quite painful and slow, it hurts the fish and they suffer perhaps it'd be best to wait until you have access to clove oil? or you could do the decapitation method but imo that's not for the faint hearted. i really do not recommend the...

reduce lighting drastically, block out sunlight and turn off the lights (but live plants need some light so make sure you turn the lights on for at least an hour). Then manually remove it, use tweezers, you fingers, and scissors if possible. you can buy chemicals which kill algae but i prefer to...
