These are the ones I use. My only complaint is they can be a pain to plug things in next to them. Does take some working around but I still manages to make it work for my tanks. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07FVST9YN/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_iKkhFb00YKJKC

I’ve done it a few ways: boiling first (if it fits in a pot)/ soaking or, just weighing it down. When I weigh it down with a rock in the tank it normally takes around a week for it to stay down, but it may depend also on the size of the wood.

Very sorry you were given bad information, sadly it happens so often and prevents new fish keepers from being successful. I have an extensive care guide I link people to through my tiktok platform but it may be helpful for you. It goes thought all the requirements and basically all you will...

You can get light timers at literally any larger hardware store. Only like $10. 100% worth the cost. I know you said your don’t trust them to work, but they do. I use a few kinds, one of the standard ones, and on most of my tanks i use smart outlets. You may also be able to find those In store...

Ill throw some of philam 's spawn in here, 2 of the males I got from her Here are their before and now photos of their color development!

Yeah it’s likely from the floating log, that explains why it’s only the top fin. He’s also just as active as ever and eats well so I’m not too worried about it. And yes his coloring is super unique! He does have a few orangish scales on the top of his body which may come through more as he...

Yeah I'm mad I didn't notice it sooner, but I can just do larger water changes for now to make sure it heals up.

I have a little plakat betta from philam and he’s got something going on with his dorsal fin. My theory is it’s from the floating log I had in his tank since he wasn’t the most careful around it, but I just want to get a second opinion. I don’t think it’s fin rot since the rest of him fins...

I just had a tank open up this morning. May be interested in a female sine I only have 1 currently! When you can, definitely shoot my a pm

Stunning! Stunning! Wow! Love them

That is true. But my female who is a solid 3+ years old is still more active then my halfmoon whos only around 8 months.

I have a bunch of different betta and my Plakats move around a heck of a lot more and a lot faster then my halfmoon or double tail. But again that’s just what I notice.

But that’s only true for long fin betta. Females and plakats are just as active as say, a gourami, a similar fish.

One question I like to ask people (I have a tiktok with a small following so I actually get some people to answer) is this: why are betta the only fish you can keep in that small of a tank. What makes them different that they can be kept in say 2.5 gallons, where no other 2-3” fish can? often...

My tap water also has ammonia. It’s no an issue if you use prime to dechlorinate and have a cycled tank. The ammonia will be “eaten up” by the time it’s no longer detoxified by prime

Ahh I see.

If all that’s in his tank are some snails I would move him back to the 5 gal. Then move the snails into the 1.5 temporary when doing meds that arnt snail safe. My issue with treating fin rot in small tanks is you are normally working against yourself. Fin rot is due to poor water quality which...

Ok yall I get the cycling thing and its important but not super relevant to SBD. Betta don't just develop swim bladder from a trace amount of ammonia or nitrite. Swim bladder is most often a result of overfeeding. Make sure to limit the amount you feed, only a few pellets are needed per day...

Floating plants may also help. They can provide cover and areas of shade. I have a few plakats and one likes to glass surf a lot but it’s reduced when I added lots of floaters.

Gosh that’s a big big no no for me. I never treat with meds unless I need to. Idk, I wouldn’t take advice from someone keeping tropical fish with a goldfish in the same tank....
