These are beautiful. How did you get the black water effect?

That jar is seriously awesome. And you have awesome tanks!

So I’m moving my halfmoon betta, Moon, into a new tank. For anyone who saw my post yesterday, I got a better and bigger tank. He’ll be going from a 3.5 gallon to a 6 gallon with plans to load it up with plants. He’s currently battling an issue with his fins so if it is boredom, this should help...

Thank you so much! Appreciate it!

And yes I was looking at it, and the corner of the tank is all connected to the glass and the filter so prob better not to chance it

So you think not too much room is being taken up? I’m trying to eyeball it lol I don’t want to end up putting him in a tank With less room. I measured the space he’d be in and it’s definitely longer but also narrower. The height is the same tho.

So I got this top fin “5 gallon” tank for Moon, my betta. He’s in a 3.5 currently, and if he is actually self mutilating I thought a change of scenery might distract him. However it seems like a large portion of the tank is taken up by this built in filter. I’ve heard of people taking these out...

Like where I circled?

so you just cut the stem right before a leaf? The stem won’t die back?

You helped me find it. It’s Hygrophila polysperma

My snail uprooted it but what kind of plant is this? I got it from LFS and threw it in there and it has grown like a weed. I’d like to prune and place the cutting in another part of the tank to grow, but I don’t know where to cut it?

Okay, I had removed them so they haven’t been in there for a while.

I just remembered a couple weeks ago I had some ghost shrimp in there with him, and while Moon never bothered them, they sometimes would jump or walk on him or mess with him. Do you think they might have done it? Or at least contributed? If it’s tail biting, should I add tank mates for...

Will he do it till he has no fins? And even if I’ve never seen him do it??

I’ve never seen him do that :/ it seems like when I got him about two months ago he had a little tear, and then just over the last two weeks it got bad really fast.

@essjay @PheonixKingZ or anybody who has helped in the past, please help :(

We live in Texas and house is well insulated so room temp makes water stay 75-76

I’m really worried with how fast it’s spreading. It seems like every day his tail gets shorter and shorter. Should I finish the third dose and try Furan next? I’m scared to use so many antibiotics but I don’t know what else to do

Okay the colorful cave is out. It was a little rough on one part. Now the hide I have is very smooth, he’s had it in his tank before. I have a big shipment of plants coming so I’ll fill it up to make it more homey. I also removed the shells

Oh gosh I didn’t know that!! They’re not from the sea, I got them from LFS ;/ are they still bad?

Tomorrow I do my third dose of Kanaplex for Moon’s fin rot. He gets worse every day. By two days after the third dose, if he’s not better, what’s my next step? He’s losing fin fast. He’s not lethargic. He swims around and eats fine.

Hey he is pretty!!

I don’t know much about salvinia yet but it looks pretty haha

Thanks! How about a picture of yours?!

Haha here’s better fish and tank pics. I have a big order of plants coming in to fill this baby up. But this is Saturn! Every pic on here he is laying at the bottom but he actually swims around a lot haha

That’s great!

Hey thanks for the info! I actually tested their tap water and the ammonia was at 1ppm :O so we got spring bottled water and filled it up.
