It's funny because here in my country too if you buy a larger tank you'll be able to spent less than buying two of smaller tanks. I bought one 2.5G which costs me PHP150 ($2.92) but then I also bought another one when I upgraded into 5G that costs me PHP250 ($4.87). Then I divided it to become a...

My two male bettas are also not fond of any tank mates, they both keep harassing my nerite snails to the point that they almost stop moving for days in fear that my feisty one and partial blind betta will nibble in their yummy flesh. I see you have an amazing tank setup I envy you :-D If he...

Jeez those cute water pigs gnawing and chewing everything in the tank they really didn't know when to stop eating :-D glad I didn't put any plants in my Goldfish tank but they were constantly nibbling on the sponge filter, small shell I put for the algae to maybe form on it and also to the...

My family also just tolerating me to have fish since they knew I was sick and needed something to focus my attention to, I also had no friends whose keeping a fish since all I know keeps cats and dogs so whenever I got trouble with my fish and tank I have no one to ask aside form the LFS owners...

That also work on my nerite snail if I drop the algae wafer while the lights are on the snail can't eat it since the goldfishes go into full frenzy when they see it but if I dropped it while lights are off the goldfishes had a hard time seeing where exactly the food is but my nerite hastily...

Well here in my country only few are into the hobby because they tend to keep dogs and cats so there are less information for us hobbyist that is available locally. We have to rely some information we gather from western countries since people here see fishes as food not pets, also almost all...

Jeez that's bad if that continues he might be like that because he doesn't have some energy left for him to be agile enough to nip the snails. Is it just a swollen lump/hump in his stomach or does it look like something was attached to his stomach or does it looks like the stomach was open and...

Uhmm If you want the most beautiful plant setup that the plants will be beautiful forever go for plastic or silk ones since they will not wither and doesn't need care at all. You can also try to plant some beginner friendly ones so basically start from scratch and slowly adds some and research...

I also been through that feeling I want end my bettas suffering and ended buying some clove oil online but my fish senses that I'm going to euthanize her so she ended her life prior on me putting her to fish heaven. Glad I didn't have to put her to sleep since I still have no guts to kill a...

First time to raise some duckweed that was given to me last December 30. I just put it in a small microwave plastic container temporarily since I don't want to put it in my Goldfish tank yet and I'm not sure if it will affect my bettas so I just leave it in the container but when I looked at it...

They add a little life in your tank when you have plastic and silk plants, they also help filter the tank and gives off oxygen for your fishes, they are easy to maintain and doesn't pollute the water. Shrimps love them, Fishes pokes and rest on them and Snails loved to move them around. It's a...

Well there's something wrong with the fishes try to buy from another LFS and see if it's still the same if it is, then the problem is inside the tank there might be something slowly killing them.

Good thing it was gone now, just continue the water change and see if it improve for a while. In regards to his appetite, try to dip his foods in garlic juice before giving it to him it might help to entice him to eat it.

I think it's fine if the tank is a wide long instead of a taller one since betta's love to swim around the surface and love to go from one side to the other instead of swimming from surface to bottom, also they do really love traversing around the plants it acts as a gym for them. Just update us...

As per everyone's advice here, 25 to 30% water change daily will help it from healing since clean water supplies every minerals that depletes in the water also it will help decrease any harmful things that might worsen your bettas condition. In regards to the medication as far as I know the only...

I haven't encountered anything like that but it might be some fungal infection, you could quarantine him in a smaller tank for you to monitor and change water easily than doing it in your main tank. As for any medications maybe some of the people here might have the greater knowledge with...

My uncle gave me goldfishes to take care but I'm still fond of my bettas since they are much easier for me to manage and they have more personalities than my hungry goldfishes who just wants me to feed them all the time they see me near their tank. My bettas they will stop at you and stare...

Just update us for a couple of days on any progress.

Is there any powder or granule type foods available in your country? You could try them if you can have some of it. Also fast her for a day then dip some food in garlic juice before giving it to her it might help entice her to try to eat it.

Did you acclimate him before dunking him in his new tank? That's stressful when switching from tank to tank also as what Sien said if all he's been acting pretty normal maybe he's just adjusting to a bigger tank just do a frequent water change and for the meantime monitor the fins.
