I currently have a ten gallon tank with a male betta, a female bn pleco, and a mystery snail. The aquarium is heated, filtered, and has lots of plants and hiding spots. I was thinking about adding some ghost shrimp or cherry shrimp. How many of each would you recommend?
Note: I have had shrimp...
The only thing that jumps out at me is the temp. that you have him at now. I would bring the temp. up to about 25 degrees as 23 is a little on the cool side for him.
Thank you for all this info. Sorry my original post was inaccurate. I have been treating my betta for fin rot for about a month with water changes and aquarium salt. It was almost cleared up when a secondary fungal infection set in. I just wanted to know if any one had had any bad experience...
Does anyone have any experience with this medication the active ingredients are Nitrofurazone and Potassium Dichromate. I will be using it to treat a Betta for fin rot.
Have you seen pieces of fin rotting and falling off? If so then he probably does have it. Check the parameters.
If not then make sure that he is not biting his tail and there are no other fish that are nipping his fins.
Ok, so, the aquarium salt is actually from API. It says that it is for fresh water fish. My heater is not adjustable, it keeps the aquarium aprox. 80 degrees.
Ok I have confirmed that it is fin rot. There were little pieces of fin rotting and falling off. You can't really see it in the picture because it is mostly gone now. My decor is not sharp. I have sanded everything down and run my hands over everything to make sure that it is not sharp and all...
The reason he got it in the first place was because he tore his fin and then I had to go on a week long trip. So, no one was there to notice that he got an infection and do water changes. I removed what I think he ripped his fin on and sanded down all my other ornaments just to be on the safe...
So my betta has been fighting fin rot for the past 2-3 weeks and I think it's mostly gone, but there is a little bit that won't go away. I've been doing every other day water changes and treating with 1tbls. aquarium for every 5gs of water like the instructions on the box say. My question is...
Made a minnow trap yesterday and caught some misquote guppies in the creek/drainage ditch behind the house. I put them in a tank with some general cure. I'm excited to see how they do. I got one juvenile and three adult females that I'm pretty sure are pregnant. I would post a picture, but they...
Sorry no pics he won't stop moving. It looks like he has four spots on his tail fin that have been infected. And I don't know if it is just because some of the infected tissue fell off, but his fin looks a little better than it did earlier and he is moving and eating normally.
