Got a really nice shot of my Betta. I present Santino Corleone

Thanks everyone, good ideas and feedback there. With the sand, is it possible to remove half the gravel as the bottom layer and the sand for the top? Does it make any difference? Good suggestions re: background, I'll put some serious thought into that. That's definitely only one Betta in...

Thanks to everyone who offered help on the thread I started re:stocking. Some of you asked for the finished photos so here they are. The CT betta was actually meant for another tank but he was not enjoying it in there because of too much current. I have had him in this tank for a week now and...

I actually bought the same tank two weeks ago for my Betta. They're a great tank but I did find that my betta struggled a bit with the current in this little set-up. You may want to look at somehow slowing down the flow rate, it's something I'm looking to do as well but yet to figure out.

Thanks for the help on this one everyone. The fish is now back to perfect health.

Thanks for the info Wilder, I should mention that I'm from Australia. We're in the middle of our winter here.

Hi Wilder, no, the mouth seems to be fine and if my eyes are deceiving me, it looks like the white spot is fading and shrinking today. What would the bleached out mouth/fluff indicate?

Thanks Tokis, the mark hasn't changed much but what isn't obvious in the photo is that part of his top fin (dorsal?) looked like there was a chunk taken out of it. this is almost looking normal again but the white-ish mark hasn't changed for the worse or better (yet). I'll keep you posted...

Thanks Tokis, that's very useful. I bought some meds the other day so see how we go. One questtion, is it possible that what you see in the photo's is a result of a plattie bite? I noticed that one of the platies in the tank bit the gourami in that very spot yesterday. I wonder if the poor...

I read that the active carbon needs to be removed when treating with PimaFix. Can someone explain what the carbon does in this situation for a newbie like me please?

Thanks Tokis, I thought it might be something like that. I'll go and buy some today. I did a 30% water change last night as well. Let's hope it's not going to be too late for this little fellow. I'll do a good search on Pimafix on the forum on use and application.

Hello, I'm not sure I should be concerned, but does this look like it may be bacteria or fungus? If so, could someone please provide information on treatment as well as whether or not I need to isolate the fish or remove carbon etc whilst treating. Any help is greatly appreciated. Water...
