Thanks, and I have read that in many articles but what troubles me is I am so careful with my tanks. I clean them weekly ( seriously have never missed cleaning them every week.) 25 to 50% water changes. Major vacuuming and weekly spot vacuuming. The point being I keep my tanks clean. I...

That would be so helpful. What is confusing to me is knowing what medication is for fugus vs bacterial. I do alot of reading on it but many different advise.

Is there a master list that shows all the medication that can be used for a particular disease. For example Fin rot. what are all the medication that can be use for that. Then all the medication that can be used for columnaris and so on. I am so confused with what medication to use for...

I have had him for about a year bought from breeder. I have 18 bettas and have never had anything like this happen. I examine everyday each betta so I really know how they are. Point being I knew this betta was fine in the morning but late afternoon stopped eating and had bloat symtoms...

I have numerous bettas and one of my divided tank has 3 bettas and one of them died with in 24 hours. Everything on him looked fine. no fin issues no discoloring. His tummy was a little big so I treated him for bloat. I did a quick salt bath 10 minutes in 1 gallon of water with 3/4 table...

Would love to hear what others use to clean their sponges they use to clean their tanks. . I use just warm water but does that really clean it enough? I have many tanks so I always worry about cross contamination? should I be using a new sponge for each tank.

Thanks for the advise. I have another question. I am treating one of my a betta with Methylene blue. This tank has a hang on filter in it. Which part do I need to take out during treating with MB? Thanks

sponge filter I used from other tank had been in tanks for at least 6 months. I have so may guppies I was going to put a few into tank but was worried to do that because of the ammonia in it do you think I should 25% water change it then put a few guppies in?

ammonia was high and now its low I have 10 tanks so all other cycles I have been great and followed directions for cycling but got lazy this time. Learn from your mistakes. should I keep adding ammonia? What do you think my next step is?

Cycling for 2 plus weeks used old spong filter, put in sponge from another hanging filter. Tested yesterday 1 ammonia and 0 nitrites BUT had Nitrates I added 5 drops of ammonia yesterday I could of missed it bc I was being lazy not testing daily. What step should I do next?
