Any odd behvaiours or swimming? If not, you've got nothing to worry about. I'd take him out of the net. It'll stress him out. If you want him to get better, just leave him alone if he's acting normal.

Give it a go but make sure to keep an eye on them. If your molly is being chased or hiding I'd divide the tank or remove her. it really depends on your betta.

A group of honey gouramis would be gorgeous. They're the most peaceful things ever. A betta might also work but it's more risky.

Are you familiar with the nitrogen cycle? Sounds like your tank isn't cycled at all.

Those dead spots can just be cleaned up with regular vacuuming. Nothing to worry about. Your filter can handle the ammonia.

It's very common to exercise bettas like that. I have girls so I've never done it, but there's nothing wrong with it. It depends on the Betta. Some of them love it, it stressed out others. Depends on your guy. Don't worry.

I've kept a giant colony outside. Was incredible for a few weeks until the water bugs found it and bred. They are all the daphnia. Before that I could get hundreds with a single scoop. I definitely recommend trying it.

Your bettas wellbeing should be more important. If shrimp end up not working out, try something else. I don't think it's worth keeping a Betta in such, frankly, inhumane conditions. If you wanted shrimp, you should have waited before getting a Betta. Now that you have one, you have to be...

Stunning! Love the name as well.

Your tank isn't cycled. Are you familiar with the nitrogen cycle?

Why not just cycle the tank with her in it? The water quality will still be a lot better than a coffee cup.

Time will tell. You'll definitely notice if it gets worse. The fins will curl and waste away. You can start treatment now or keep monitoring him and see if things improve. He's flaring which is good because it means he's acting healthy. Your choice when to medicate.

I too agree honey Gouramis are amazing, I love em

Nice! Most people recommend you continue to treat for 1-2 weeks after symptoms are gone. The parasite could still be in the water after all. I'd treat at a lower dose of 20-50% for at least a week, just to be safe.

Just go back and ask. They'll have the scientific name in the order history.

Cardinals are also a lot healthier. Neons are filled with diseases from overbreeding.

I've done this. It will create a small spike for a few days IME, but then after that it's smooth sailing.

Nice. Never used salt, but I've heard bettas like it, and it will help with the finrot. Bettas love almond leaves too. Your boy is a very lucky fish. I wouldn't be worried about the filter short term. There's plenty of spots where he can hide from it, so he's not constantly being pushed around...

As long as you don't get more fish, I think simply putting your old filter in the new tank and running it for a month will be enough. Since the bioload is the same, the filter can keep up, and you've got the larger one for mechanical filtration. You could also squeeze your old media in the new...

Aww, he looks adorable! I do agree he has finrot though. If he doesn't show any noticeable improvements you may need to treat him, but I'd give it at least a week. A Sponge on the filter outflow is a good idea for bettas. You don't need so stress about the finrot though. Like I said, at worst...
