To make them grow faster, you could separate them to their own grow-out tank (if you had space) and feed them live food like baby brine shrimp; breeders always seem to recommend that.

You could look into ways to secure the desk light, I suppose—are there any ways to attach it to the wall or prop it up?

Tank has a lid haha, but thank you so much for your reply! I’ll definitely keep her away from it. She was extremely unhappy with me about that…

My cat will drink almost anything that vaguely resembles water. Lately, I’ve been giving my betta epsom salt baths to treat his dropsy (with great success) but my cat often drinks the extra epsom salt water laying around. If epsom salt is fine for fish and human use, is it fine for cat...

Hi! Are you familiar with the term “cycle”? This means adding an ammonia source until the appropriate beneficial bacteria colonize the tank and you see zero ammonia and nitrite (but there should be some traces of nitrate). If you have a water test kit, I would utilize that for the 10 gallon; if...

Can you give the parameters? (ammonia, etc.) That will help us determine if the tank is cycled, and appropriate stocking choices. The choices are somewhat limited due to the tank size, but I think if the parameters are good, you could either add more shrimp/snails or a single betta fish (if you...

Phew!

Purchase a tight-fitting lid for your aquarium, cover the tank with towels to reduce stress, and daily 50% water changes. This is basically what I did when I carelessly sucked my betta up during a water change a while back (long story) and it worked fine, he healed up really fast.

Sorry, I’m still learning Edit: Where’d the emoji go???? Oh well.

Your water parameters seem fine, but have you tested for chlorine/did you add dechlorinator? The rasbora pictured seems to have very red gills, which is a sign of chlorine poisoning (as is gasping for air at the surface). Additionally, have you noticed any lethargy or faded coloring? (Also...

That’s great, but just to be safe, follow Fishfur’s advice a couple comments above on the methylene blue and getting the antibiotics into their food.

(It may be my computer, but I can’t see a photo. Is there one attached?)

Hi—I’m new on here so take my words with a grain of salt, lol. I can’t really seem to make out the fuzzy patches you described from the photos, but the description provided makes me think fungal infection, like “cotton wool disease”. This can be caused by stress, injury, or sudden temperature...
