I bought five otto cats to add to my 20 gallon tank. I’ve read that they’re hard to keep alive for the first week to month, and i need tips to keep them alive, as i’ve had trouble finding out tips for the first week. Please help!
My betta has been very life-less recently, and I noticed his tail is getting shorter and there are red spots on it. Additionally, he looks bloated or constapated. He still is eating.
Tank
What is the water volume of the tank? 20 gal
How long has the tank been running? Since January
Does it have a filter? Yes
Does it have a heater? Yes
What is the water temperature? 76 f
What is the entire stocking of this tank? (Please list all fish and inverts.)
6 (now 5) ember tetras, one...
Just put brownies in the oven! I use the ghirardelli box stuff (I don’t have time to make them from scratch). The trick is to add a few extra chocolate chips ;)
Yes, he was in his own tank for a while.
Yesterday: the color came back! I can now not differentiate the tetra from the other bright colored tetras. Additionally, they seem to be fine swimming with the betta now.
This morning: the color lost overnight, AGAIN. after 10 minutes it came back...
Is this because of the betta I added, or because of a dieses? It happened overnight, it is now a purplely white.
EDIT: so I wrote the original a while ago and forgot about it, it’s now a pale yellow. Originally, it was yello so I think it’s getting color back
Sooooooooo I moved him……I made sure to drop acclimate and I added him after a water change. He discovered his reflection, because the bowl shaped tank he was in before was shaped so no reflection. The embers are schooling and staying away, and he has been exploring. Fingers crossed!
I have a betta fish that has fallen ill. I think it is because of his small tank size. I have a large 20 gallon with only 6 ember tetras (though I plan to add more). Could I move him? I do want to add more fish, but I fear his safety.
the first picture is his current tank (3.5g?) the second is...
He probably “claimed” that area of the tank. The snail is going into his territory. Bettas are really territorial. Like, really territorial. What he’s doing is Normal behavior
Just ember’s. Yes, it probably is planaria. I know that this is harmful, but in what way? To what animals? Just want to broaden my understanding of the aquarium hobby.
Not a shrimp tank- though I do want to add shrimp later. How should i go about removing it? The ember tetra’s ate one, and spit it out later. I don’t think that’s the only one, though.
