Would Betta kill ember tetra?

Hi, I have one betta and a few members few neons Cory's and this other tetra and one day I saw one of the ember tetra killed with just the scales and bones left. I'm pretty sure my betta did that but why would it do that.

Also my tank is 54 gallon

Bettas are aggressive, if a fish gets too close, betta might crack and kill them...

 

I've kept male and female bettas always in community tanks, including with ADFs (until recently - food issues). Never any problems with aggression.

 

Also it might have died of natural causes, and got eaten afterwords.

 

I now have a problem. My betta has white stringy poop and I have only seen it today. What do I do

Water parameters? White stringy poop usually points to an internal parasite

 

The temperature is at 29 degrees Celsius

I don't know what else to tell you

Do you have a test kit? I believe he was talking about Nitrates, Nitrites, Ammonia, And Ph

 

No. Also I noticed today one of my betta's ventral fins is damaged

I am going to test my water tomorrow at a pet store.

I also was told that if he has parasites he will lie on the ground not swim much, but he swims quite a lot. He does lie on the gravel a few times but then starts to swim again.

Will his ventral fins heal

It depends on the water parameters, they may not return fully but unless something is seriously wrong they should heal at least some.
Also, when you get the parameters tested I would ask for exact results (it helps a lot when figuring out what’s wrong) and make sure they tested ammonia too

 

Do u have any sharp stuff in the tank? Like plastic plants or anythin else? If so id remove it so his fins don't get damaged further and so they can heal. Hopefulyl he isn't sick but white stringy poo isn't good

 

I haven't seen any more white stringy poop

 

I think my molly has swim bladder disease since its swimming in circles and upside down

Sounds like swim bladder disease. Have you gotten your water tested for Ammonia, nitrite and nitrate? I would do a large (at least 50%) water change today if you haven’t already.

 

Whenever your fish are acting strange change water! The best medicine. Then find out why.

 

Hey, I found a baby fish in my tank and I dont know what it is. I had recently got mollies. It hasn't been a month yet since I bought them. So I dont know if it was them who got pregnant before I bought them then gave birth. It certainly looks pregnant and I asked a few people and they said it was. Here is what the baby looks like. I moved it into a little bowl since I didnt want it to get eaten by the other big fish.


The molly that looks pregnant is black, but the baby is white. None of the white mollies look pregnant. I'm a bit worried that maybe when the guy at the fish store filled his box with water a baby fish from a different breed ended up in the bag. However, I fit did I would have noticed it when I looked in the bag. The baby surely couldnt have grown in 2 to 3 weeks could it?

 

It actually looks too big for a newborn fry, so who knows maybe it did hitchhike?

 

Ye that's what I thought but I watched the guy put all the fish in and I didnt see any babies

He also checked too

 

I believe if a black Molly gets pregnant by a white Molly it can have white and black babies. Not 100% though.

 

The black molly having white fry is totally possible. If the fish has parents or any close ancestors that are white or carry the gene(srry i'm not an expert its just what i think happened) then this is totally possible. Also, livebearers can store sperm packets and its possible that the father was white.

 

I am feeding it and it is getting the shape of a white molly. I am happy with how it is growing. I can see the shape of its belly getting rounder. Tahts okay right?

 

I found another white baby molly

 

My male silver molly has small black dots around his body. Is that okay. I did some research and I found out that it could just be him still growing

 

Probably just coloration, try searching up Dalmatian molly to see if they look similar

 

Thank you

 

Mine isnt a dalmatian molly. It looks like this.

Sorry taht is my ember tetra. By the way my ember tetra has a black spot on her fin and it has grow a lot bigger. It looks pregnant.

 

my molly now has even more black spots. I don't know the cause. they are very small dots.

Can you upload a picture?

 

my phone isn't allowing me to log in. I noticed that my betta's fin is getting damaged. I watched a video on why this might happen and they said it could be because of sharp objects. however, I had recently moved a fake plant because I didn't want this to happen. I researched all the fish that I have in the tank with my betta and I found out that they ALL nipped fins! I'm getting a tank divider hopefully. would this help and would my betta regrow his fins. Also, it has almost been a year since I got the betta and he looks sick he just lies down on the substrate and only goes up once every while to breathe. he doesn't eat a lot too. I have rarely seen him eat. could anyone help me out, please?

Ok, first can you post a picture of him? If you bought him as an adult then he was probably 9months-1.5yrs old when you got him so it’s possible he’s just getting old. Sometimes bettas can develop chronic fin rot due to age (not bad fin rot but it keeps coming back), that’s what happened to my betta. Also, what tank size and what fish are still in the tank? Depending on that you may or may not be able to divide the tank and still have enough space.

 

my female molly gave birth to some fry and I noticed some were almost pink like. could it be that they are albinos?

 

also, my male molly is a dalmation molly

 

They could be but I think it’s more likely they’ve just not developed all their color yet. But, if it is albino that would be interesting to see it as an adult. Do you have a pic of one?

 

i will send a pic in a bit

 

There is on ein the back and quite a few at the top

 

also, a few died and I didn't throw them away. this was good because somehow it was as if they all came back to life because when I looked in the breeder box there were at least 4 or 5 dead and now there's only one. is it possible for fish to come back to life? there was one that got squished and I saw a fry that had a weird body shape. I'm confused and also very happy. could anyone tell me the cause?

 

They may have just been on the verge of death, sometimes fry have genetic issues that make them weaker or look different. I think that you just have white molly babies. If either mollies had a parent who as a white molly than that would explain why your fry are white.

Both the parents are white. The father is turning into a dalmation molly.

Oh yup, then those are just white mollies

Ok. So the babies that have a pink colour are just white mollies. I thought that they were albino since I saw their eyes which were red
