    I bought 2 shrimp on wednesday and they seemed very happy. They where exploring the tank and one was even trying to touch my betta's face! (My betta isnt much of a fighting fish so he just continued sittig on top of his filter). Anyway the shrimp have since gone into hiding, ive got a large tree...

    Is aquarium salt ok for betta fry? I used aquarium salt to hatch some brine shrimp. Would it be ok to just stick them in there without separating the water and the shrimp

    Hi so I have a female crowntail and I noticed a few weeks ago the start of some fin rot possibly. However, I did not treat it because at that time my tank was having some problems with the nitrite and I was trying to resolve that since it was more of an issue for her than the fin rot. Last...

Once the tank is cycled I was be giving the danios to a friend at work, and putting my betta fish in (I used other fish...

    Hi! I was just wondering if Aquarium Salt is safe to use on a betta with slight eye protrusion. My crowntail, Gavin, has one eye that is slightly larger than the other, though it's not very noticeable, but just enough of a protrusion to make me worry. I don't have any money to buy antibiotics...

    Hello, So my betta, Sebastian, has had this weird bump on his side for at least a month, maybe up to 2. At first I just figured he bumped into something in his tank and got a little wound, but it'd heal. Well it doesn't seem to be getting any better, in fact I'm pretty sure it's doubled in size...

    So if you use AQ salt for too long, then it damages the bettas' kidneys, right? How much is too much? I noted that some people only use the salt during illnesses, while others put the stuff in either tiny tiny or just package-directed amounts in their tanks each water change. What is the advised...

    Hello I think my betta fish has a mild case of fin rot. I just bought aquarium salt and that stress conditioner thing. What would yall recommend and how do I use the aquarium salt. Thank you in advance. Also if he doesn't have fin rot will this harm him?

    I got Foster by way of my little sister's friend a little over a year and a half ago She was bored with him and trying to starve him to death, and no one else would take him. I've never been a fish person- too stressful; but I was under the impression that bettas are super simple, so I took him...

    I have a betta named Monkey, short for Mungkon (the Thai word for Dragon because he came from Thailand even though he's not a Dragon betta), and he has a SEVERE case of fin rot. He's a pet store bought fish, and he had minimal fin rot when I got him even though I didn't know it (I was a newbie...

    My friend recently noticed that a picture I had uploaded of my betta from a few MONTHS ago was significantly different than the way he looks now... his fins are pretty shredded. I kept thinking I was noticing this, but it's been happening so gradually that I kept just thinking I wasn't...

    I had 6 fish now I only have 4. 2 of them died, 1 Was a female platy and another was a female betta. Now I only have 4 female bettas left. I've treated them with jungle fungus clear (Methylene blue) in the past for like 14 days because they had fin rot. After that I removed the entire water with...

    Hi! My betta is in a 5.5 gallon with a filter and heater and 2 nerite snails. He has major? fin rot and I treated him a couple months ago with aquarium salt but to no avail. I decided to try again with a slightly higher dose of aquarium salt (2 teaspoons per gallon). I decided to do it in my...

    Hi all! Just upfront this is more betta story time than it is question, but I am looking for opinions/advice etc as well! First of all, my little dingus is a total prince. He hates when i do water changes and flares up at me whenever I take the lid off his tank (most likely cause he thinks I'm...

    Last night, my betta fish, Aomine, jumped out of his smaller container when I was trying to take him out of his tank. He landed on my laptop and then flipped onto the chair. I immediately put him back into his tank. He was shocked for a little, but now he's swimming around and acting perfectly...

    My blue veil-tail betta has made a very nice recovery from his bloat (possible dropsy) condition, and is eating regularly again and from what I can tell, pooping normally (coloration is a little bit lighter than it should be though [my understanding is it should be a reddish brown color; his is...

    Here's a picture of my Betta. He's been extremely lethargic (sits at bottom, only comes up for air) and is developing white patches on his gills and now a little at the base of his dorsal fin. His dorsal fin also looks tattered (possible fin rot?). I had my tank water tested at a local pet store...
