    Betta Fin Rot :( Desperate for help

    Hi, I just wondered how your Betta is doing? I’m having the same problem and am trying everything, he’s in methylene blue atm and I have kanaplex on order, nothing has worked so far so I was just interested if your little guy ever got better or if I am just fighting a loosing battle?

    What does fish keeping mean to you?

    I absolutely love your post, you really did hit the nail on the head! I need something to distract me from life also, I have a physical disability that stopped me doing lots of the hobbies I had. I spent years trying to find something that I could take my time with and enjoy but that wouldn’t...

    Nitrates

    Not yet, being built this summer, maybe I will keep using the nitrate filter until I have one, It will definitely solve the issue. Thank you.

    Nitrates

    It was cold last night, I am southern, We didn’t even have a frost this morning however I know that will change, we are forecast snow tomorrow, I did wonder how this might work, maybe I could use a pond heater?

    Nitrates

    I am in uk, could I fill a large tub and leave it in the garden with plants and a clear lid and just warm the water and dechlorinate when I need it? Would the plants be okay in very cold weather/water? Would it matter if the tub was sealed? And would it need aeration? Thank you.

    Nitrates

    Hi, I was reading through some threads on here regarding nitrates and plants. I have been using the pozzani nitrate removal system for my tap water, when I first use a new cartridge it’s removes all of the nitrates from my tap water (usually 26ppm) however it slowly builds back up. It’s at...

    Acceptable Nitrate Levels.

    This is very interesting, the science behind it baffles me and probably most others, it’s great that you are questioning this, I’m going to sit quiet and wait for the responses, I’m sure it will be a great read.

    Fin rot or tear?

    Ps I would do 50% water changes :)

    Fin rot or tear?

    I would get your nitrates down too, water changes are your best friend. I have a Betta with an injury at the moment and I’ve been doing daily water changes but it’s not improving, I have heard good things about seachem stress guard so I have some on order. See how the daily water changes go that...

    Help ASAP please

    You need to reread all of this thread, you have been advised to empty your tank completely as all your fish are dead, throw away substrate and completely disinfect everything!!! Then set it back up and cycle it again.

    PH result changes after 5mins

    I’m a little confused, i use the api master test kit and I always read my test for ph the moment I do it, it is usually 7.6, today i tested my water change water because I use the pozzani nitrate removal filter. I did the test and it was the usual 7.6 but I left the test tube on the side and...

    What happened?

    Sorry it’s not on his tail on his anal fin.
  24. xxamyxx85

    What happened?

    The red area on the tail, all of the webbing of the fins is intact, there are no tears but what looks like a bloody area that got bigger with salt water changes but remains the same with just water. He seems fine and everything else is normal. Scar tissue? Do u think I should just reduce the...

    What happened?

    I use Indian almond leaves already and I have heard bad things about melafix. Is it definitely fin rot because he had a major injury after jumping into a soap dish that was being used to baffle the flow from the filter and it’s just got worse but none of his fins have broken or come away or...

    What happened?
