My tank is 2.5 gallons with one male Betta. Filtered and temperature between 79 and 81. He is fed 2 pellets in the morning, a little flake food in the afternoon, and another 2 pellets at night. He also gets bloodworms in place of a pellet and the flakes on Friday. x3
He's been sick since I got him, so I've been changing large amounts of water basically everyday, but he's finally healed up. Now that he's better, how much water should I change and how often?
And another stupid question:
I'm scared to leave the filter running at night, that... and the noise bothers me. Is it okay to turn it off at night, then back on in the morning?
A 5 gallon tank would be great! And safer for the filter. I think you should turn it off at night since the size of your cage. Like neenjar said probably clean it 2 times a week. If you have gravel sift it and rinse it when you clean 100% with warm water. You should do a 50% change too. And it wouldn't hurt to put some aquarium salt in for safety
Aquarium salt seems to make Sushi constipated. @-@;
I had used it at first and had that problem, then dropped the amount of salt and still had the same problem.
Stopped using it completely and he's fine. xD
I have bought some gravel to use, but haven't put it in his tank yet. Not sure if I will... because I'm sure it would make the tank a chore to clean.
