Yup! Definitely trying to make sure my dosage is accurate. Mixing 1g packets with 100ml of water and then taking 10ml with a syringe. Would you suggest a water change before dosing again?

So quick update! I ran around to a bunch of local petstores and couldn't find any dewormers. Absolutely baffled me. I found a couple at one store but they were all $40-60 and no way I'm spending that much, I don't need that much fenbendazole. So I had to order some online instead. It finally...

I heavily disagree. Brady is the most overrated player of all time. And I think you're going to see that even more this year. He hardly owns any QB records. Most of them are split between Drew Brees and Brett Favre. Then there's a sprinkling of Peyton Manning, Aaron Rodgers and old legends. Then...

Thanks for the link! I'll give it a read. Personally not crazy about using hydrogen peroxide. That worries me way more than medication. My tank is pretty infested with hydra right now, it's almost everywhere that I look, so I'm kinda at the point where I'm all in to get rid of it. Ready to go...

I've been battling hydra for a decent while now. My tank is absolutely infested with bladder snails, so they've mostly kept it under control so I haven't had to worry. Just as soon as I notice it, next day it's gone. But now it's finally getting out of control, it's spread a lot, and a few days...

can you get a still picture of it? put a piece of moss or netting in there to give it something to hang on to.

I get excited about new tanks and new fish. Not super exciting right now at least. I enjoy watching my fish. Though my tanks are a bit of a mess right now, so not as enjoyable to look at. Water changes bug me to no end. Not a fan. I put enough plants in one of my tanks so that my nitrates stay...

Stay strong! You'll be alright! I've had a few friends with it they said it's a right pain. Feels like absolute heck for awhile. Just actively fight it best you can. I'm assuming in Canada they have a plan for you to get X-rays and instructions from relevant experts? Ya'll been doing a heck of a...

Yeah you can probably easily do 10 or more chilis. I'm not great at bioload estimations though. If you order them online let me know where (assuming you're in the US), I've been trying to get some and doesn't look like my LFS will reopen anytime soon.

Most tetras tend to need more than 10g. Ember tetras and the likes are totally fine for a 10g. I think glowlights generally are 20g? Someone can correct me on that. There's quite a lot of different tetras out there. Some more suited for the warmer tank bettas prefer.

If he was with fish before like you said and had no problems then totally go for it! From your list some will work better than others, some need more tank space, but you've definitely got options. Kind of comes down to what color fish do you want your school to be.

It absolutely does! Your commercial betta splendens are usually wayyyyy more aggressive than wild types because they've been bred for it. Wild types tend to be a lot more chill, in some cases you can even keep two males in the same tank. I think Mahachai are one of the more peaceful wild types...

So since you already have a male betta. If you want to add more fish I would not get anything too flashy. Ember tetras or chili rasboras are a good pick. Schools of 6-10, could do a bit more if you're willing to do water changes. One important question is does your betta have long fins, or is...

Good! Glad you got the better test strips. So yeah I would say order the tetra ammonia strips if you can, it's a worthwhile investment. Good to have for now, and in the future so you know what's happening if you get a spike. I feel you, I also have very hard water, some plants just straight up...

API or Tetra test strips? The tetra ones are really good. The API ones are absolute trash and are the reason why so many people think all test strips suck. If you can, get your hands on the tetra ammonia test strips. The anubias should not be causing nitrites no. Live plants tend to help keep...

I had frogbit in my betta tank. 80 degree water temperature with a lid so you best believe it was humid in there. Grew it like a weed absolutely no problems. I also had it flow around and get pushed down underwater by the filter flow. Never died and the water would either roll off or evaporate...

Can you test your ammonia? You're reading nitrites which points to your tank not being fully cycled. Since you used seeded media it should be close. Need an ammonia reading to be sure though. Since we don't have one yet, I'd suggest doing a 50%+ water change just to be safe. If you don't have a...

I don't see why it would have to be permanent unless you can identify that tank size is the stressor. If it is then it's for the best. If it isn't then tank size is fairly irrelevant.

So in the case that parameters come back normal, if there's nothing sharp to tear his fins on, you said you had other tanks. A little experiment to see, could you swap him with one of your other bettas? If he's still having fin problems that could tell you it's just fin biting because they're...

I have Gold Ring Danios they're awesome! CPDs in my area tend to be quite expensive so I got some of the Gold Rings instead. Great alternative. I have shrimp in the tank they don't bother them at all. If you like the danios and rasboras have at it. That's my current setup of my 10g, I have 8...
