I will upload a photo later when I take a good one. :) My pH is low, I think, only at 6.2, and my alkaline shows only like 0 on the test strip. Should I post a topic about that? I need some way to raise my pH. Also there aren't any other tank mates besides my female betta on the other side. I...

I seriously don't understand this. My male betta, Blueberry's fins have grown back since the last time I posted the thread, and just when it almost completely healed, his fins are all torn up again. I have silk plants, a sponge filter (which is on the other side), and two heaters (idk why but...

Is my betta fish bloated? She's been like this for a long time. I think I might be feeding her too much. I don't see a pinecone pattern, she swims normally, and eats her food as usual. What could this be? I used to feed her 8-10 small baby Hikari betta bites and bloodworms but I quit that, now...

Basically, I was doing a partial water change and I poured the container into the water and it disturbed the substrate; sand came up from the substrate and my betta was swimming at the top. I noticed some sand particles on his head yesterday. Could it have gotten into his gills? What happens if...

I don't have a hospital tank sadly. :( I will attach a photo later on. Thank you for your reply. Pearl is healthy with no fin damage at all, I'm not sure whether or not fin rot is contagious but I hope not.

Okay, so- the ripped fin that my betta had beforehand didn't completely close, yet I believe there is some fin growth if I'm correct. Now there's a new fin rip. I feel terrible. I believe it was caught somewhere behind the sponge filter because nothing happened ever since I removed it. I placed...

The bloodworms are frozen. Thanks for the feeding advice!

Hello everyone! I was wondering if my schedule for feeding is okay and if I should adjust anything. I'm not sure how often to feed each of these foods and I'd love some advice about that. 1) I have bloodworms, Fluval bug bites, and Hikari betta bio gold for my bettas. 2) I feed 2 blood worms...

Good news- PetCo accepted them. I hope they're living a better life now! :)

I think PetCo does. I don't know anywhere else that accepts fish. :(

I have 2 cherry barbs in a 5 gallon. They're schooling fish and (now I know), five gallons is too small for them. I can't imagine getting a 30 gallon, 4 more fish, and cycling the tank all over again. One fish is in pretty bad shape, with a ripped fin. I think it's the stress in the small tank...

Would Petco be okay? Also, how do I transport them?

I have 2 cherry barbs and I now know they are schooling fish. They live in a cycled 5 gallon though I do not think it's enough. One has a ripped fin and it hasn't been growing back and the same one appears to have bloat though I'm not sure. Should I rehome them? Would they be better off in the...

First off, let me apologize if this is in the wrong thread. I have started a thread about this before about the jagged betta edges and it did heal. However, all of the sudden, my betta fish has sustained another tail injury! Here's what it looks like: I immediately added some API StressCoat...

Hi, thanks a lot. Just making sure, are these the foods you listed for the barbs? And is the Fluval bug bites the one you feed to both your barbs and betta? Thank you again! :)

I feed them bloodworms and Tetra Tropical Flakes though I'm pretty sure Tropical Flakes are not a good diet. What would you recommend for a high-quality flake food or pellet food? Also, how often should I feed bloodworms to my bettas and cherry barbs (they're in separate tanks, just wondering...

No, I don't think so. I have a sponge filter and I even put it on the other side afterward. The flow isn't that strong and he doesn't go near it that much. I don't know if it was the previous water conditions that he lived in that caused this? Do you have any tips for growing the fins back...

Hi there! So I got between 0.5-1 ammonia, 0-20 nitrate, and 0 nitrites. Could it be the ammonia causing the problems? Otherwise, I think the nitrite and nitrates are at a safe level. (if I'm correct)

Hi, thank you for the reply. I did not know much about cycling tanks back then and I thought the big tank would be better than the small one since the small one got dirtier. I used to have a test kit but I think it got thrown out. I'm not sure about the ammonia/nitrite/nitrate levels since, as I...

Sorry I uploaded that on my hamster channel. I just noticed that his fin was already torn (worse) before. I'm not sure if it was already torn but one day I just noticed it all of a sudden. This video is from a couple of months ago so I don't know. Also, is it even torn? Or is it just the fin's...

Hi all, I'm new to this fish forum and I registered because my male betta (blueberry) has a jagged back fin. It happened pretty suddenly and not a lot of his fin is gone though it seems almost like a triangle at the points where it was ripped. I have a sponge filter, sand, silk plants, and he's...
