haha yes occasionally he will eat the freeze dried ones if i break it up but I think i might try the frozen bloodworms, I'm just not sure if my local fish store sells them; thanks for the suggestion I'll definitely try it! But yes those bug bites are great :lol:

I just did a 25% water change and replaced with purified water to even the gh out again. I'm restarting the dosing as the instructions say and ill keep you updated. I also think I was doing too large of water changes which may have contributed to the medicine not working (may have been more at...

Right I had figured I made that mistake — the instructions said 4days apart with water change in between. After dosing twice I was away for like 3days and didn’t trust anyone to dose so I ended up doing it 6days apart. The second time I geniuenly forgot 😭👍. But I was also wondering if it could...

Hi again, It's been about a month. I originally dosed every 4 days with a water change in between. After about 2 doses the immediate redness went away and he seemed good. I kept him in the 5g hospital tank and dosed twice more 6 days apart with a 50% water change. He seemed alright, no regrowth...

Just wanted to follow up: I went with the Jungle Fungus Clear as it was the item that would ship the fastest, I set up a five gallon hospital tank a few days ago with 50/50 distilled water and my house water, it successfully brought the GH down to around 30-50ppm and the PH stayed relatively the...

I just used a api test strip here’s the results: Nitrate: 20ppm Nitrite: 0ppm PH: 6.0 KH: 40ppm GH: about 140ppm

haha right, sad but true On another note: it definitely is fin rot, this morning I noticed red around the damaged area and his fins are rapidly like disappearing. I don't know how to treat this and I'm really worried, I've never experienced fin rot, what can I do? Is it something that can be...

Got it! I'll do more water changes then. Currently I am feeding him a mix of the betta fluval bug bites and north fin betta bits, I've tried things with brine shrimp and even live food but he never seems interested.

Again I don’t really think I have enough experience to say specifically what could be killing your fish, but people have said that a biofilm on the top of your tank could inhibit oxygen exchange in the tank, another reason to possibly add an air pump; but I honestly don’t think that is the...

Hi, He is in a 10g tank by himself, heavily planted with no sharp decor. I change the water every three weeks because the plants do a lot of the work, and I try not to disturb him because he gets scared by literally anything. I also haven’t tried any treatment because of this. Parameters are...

Not sure about the deaths, but I had an oily surface in all of my tanks due to low water movement and the only thing that absolutely worked for me was an airpump! You can get them on amazon for like 5$, but they disturb the water's surface without increasing flow. If you have high flow and an...

Hi, I'm really reaching out now because I literally have no clue on what to do: A few months ago (probably like january), my betta started getting huge parts of his tail ripped out. I thought it was some sharp wood in the tank, so I removed most decor and left only a few plants. With no...

alright! thank you.

Here's a few more videos. I think it might be something wrong with his swim bladder now, he's kind of like going in spirals. I looked on an older post, someone had a similar issue after feeding expired food. So maybe the expired brine shrimp was the cause.

I just fed them, the only thing that really sets him apart is how thin he is, because I'm watching them now and it doesn't seem like he's eating, I could be just not noticing though. What's weird to me is that he's always by himself and swims in like jagged small circles so like you can always...
