My elephant ear. Need a name still tho :thumbs:

Thank you so much and thanks for asking for an update ❤️

He is swimming around like his normal self. I think we’re good. He had a couple tears and I’m not sure if they were from beginning of fin rot or being caught in the vaccum but they seem to be almost gone. I put some almond leaves in there so I think they’ve helped. Hallelujah ❤️

In literally every tank I have except one of my 10 gallon and 20 gallon that have quality lights, I am having a very stubborn brown algae outbreak. I have done so many cleanings and water changes to get them out but it keeps coming back and I wonder if it has something to do with the lights I...

I’m sorry to hear this :( thank you ❤

Thank you guys so much ❤️

The circles are pin holes and then I also circled areas on his fins that seem like fin rot. I don’t see any missing scales.

Thank you. I’m doing daily water changes with the salt and I think the salt will end up benefitting any injuries he has too. I just hope he makes it and then doesn’t get seriously infected.

I feel like the worst person ever right now, and I don’t know if he’s going to make it. I was using my gravel vaccum to change Venus’s water when he literally swam right up to it and got sucked up and twirled around in it. His right gill is bloody, his lower fin is torn up, and he has pin holes...

Awesome. I’m honestly not good under a lot of stress so I’m trying to find something that is less stress than ER haha not sure if that exists tho; especially for a new grad. i never thought about rehab. Currently in my OB/Ped semester. Not really a kid person but I do enjoy woman’s health...

I think the white spot was just part of the picture angle and reflection because I don’t see any when I look at him now in the I’m in nursing school :) what kind of nurse are you? I don’t know what I want to do yet and I graduate in May hahahahaha.....

They give a lot of good advice on YouTube and seem pretty trustworthy so I may go for it too. Thanks!

I may have asked this already but I can’t remember. I don’t have any LFS that sells plants other than Top Fin and they don’t have much selection. I have ordered from Modern Aquarium twice and half of them are dead by the time they get to me. I also ordered from Aquarium Factory and had good...

Since I moved Venus into a bigger tank, I cleaned out his old 5 gallon and transferred all of Neptune’s stuff into it and moved him in. He is VERY active, never stops swimming. Thoughts on this tank? There’s one big sword and two Anubias. It’s Neptune and his mystery snail who does a good job of...

I agree. Thank you and will do!

Yep haha I just realized now that’s prob what the deal is

Okay I just made a post about the other betta I have laying at the bottom and I wonder if the temp is what it is. I was told 75 was okay but I’m realizing it should be about 78-80. I don’t get paid for another week so I’m going to try to raise the temp of my house and see if that will make do :/...

seems like all of my bettas we’re doing really well and then a few started to act funny. All of my tanks are cycled and get water changes weekly and water tested every other day. For the last two days, Saturn has been laying at the bottom of the tank in this same spot which is where he’s always...

I’m glad you asked because he’s always had a blotchy face but I always thought it was his colorings so I never paid much attention, here is a better quality pic. I’m definitely going to start with the salt. The red stuff is root tab powder

Okay. I just have always heard that salt benefits gill function, etc and it’s a lot easier on them than an actual medication

I love the colors!

But since salt doesn’t do any harm wouldn’t it be a good idea to do it now? In case whatever it is is in it’s early stage and salt may kill it before it gets too bad

Here is a picture of him

Thank you everyone for the advice. I definitely don’t know much about parasites. And yes, I am 100% adding new plants but I have to wait till I get paid. I assessed him again today and can’t find any other sign or symptom. So what do y’all think if I start out with a salt treatment? I only have...

And no, he’s not breathing hard

It’s not really a scratch more like he runs right into them on purpose. Like spazzing out on them. But I looked up symptoms for velvet and ich and he doesn’t have any of them except for the clamped fins. He goes crazy for food still too. I’m wondering if his diet may be causing it. I was soaking...

a couple days ago I posted a thread asking about what a depressed betta looks like. Recently, my usually very active and feisty betta, has been very inactive. He keeps his fins back most of the time now and just floats in one spot in the water. So I thought, well maybe a change of scenery would...
