So, the sores keep appearing and disappearing, so this pic my betta appears to just have fin rot, but you can see one red-brown, white-edged sore above his eye in his naturally black splotch. And you can barely see the pattern/splotches on the young female bristlenose pleco. That's why I'm...

Hi again! This is the owner of a betta and a female, young bristlenose pleco named Nyx. They share a 20 gallon tank in relative harmony. I have just been made aware of some things I am doing wrong, which has led to my fish having maybe Columnaris... I'm really scared rn and I'm trying to figure...

I wish I knew this stuff before now. Some of the things I've learned here have really helped me and my Zeus. Thank you

I do weekly water changes. And I'm glad this sounds like a fine hospital 'tank' ;)

I found a kit on Amazon (we also have Prime). I think I'm going to get that. It comes with hosing, a pump, and an airstone. Also, as for the temperature, his tank stays at 77.1- 78 degrees fahrenheit consistently. I talked to my mom and she recommended I put the bucket in my grandmother's...

We have a well on our property.

I was looking online and found petsmart has one for $5, but people are leaving reveiws saying it doesn't say what size of hosing it takes. So it makes me think there are multiple peices you have to buy separately. What parts will I need? Just the hose and the aerator? Also, should I just put my...

I don't know, it's just what my dad said ...

It's definitely fin rot, but it's early right now. These were taken yesterday, he used to have a spade shaped tail, now it's round and looks a bit ragged. His fins also look thin and duller than usual. He's still eating and swiming fine, comes up for air. I need to do something now so it doesn't...

Hi! I'm a new fish keeper! I recently set up a 20 gallon tank with live plants, a baby bristlenose pleco, and a plakat betta fish. My betta has developed fin rot, and I have maracyn and test kits on the way. I do not have a hospital tank, though, and I don't have room for one, and don't have the...

That's really a great idea! I could look into those! Thank you so much!

Hi! So I just set up my first tank w/ a betta and a Bristlenose pleco baby! My betta's name is Zeus though, so I would like to stick to greek gods and goddesses. I know my baby pleco is too young to identify it's gender, as it's only about 1 ½ inches, so I'm trying to find celestial god and...

Yes. He changed drastically from brown, black, yellow and a green tail. He lost all black in the tail, his green tail turned blue, some black was lost in his body as well, the yellow turned beige, etc. I don't have a pic of him when he was colored that way, but he's changed a lot! I love...

Oh! Also the bottle of beneficial bacteria said it will have an earthy smell as a 'result of biological activity' it def. had an earthy smell lol ;)

Bc is lingo for because

Thanks for telling me about my BN! I don't really know, but I think Zeus was about 1 ½ inches when I got him from the breeder. It's been about 1 month since I've had him, and I'd say that he's still young and will probably grow more, but he's probably over 2, maybe 2 ½ inches. Maybe. I'm not...

I don't know what you mean. It sounds like a plant though

Ok. I might do that ;)

I added full amount of beneficial bacteria TopFin brand from petsmart 3 days before adding my fish Zeus, half the day before, and half the day I added Zeus. The package recommended that ;) A family friend bought me a bag full of fake plants that I plan to take back to petsmart and buy real ones...

Mine didn't have any other than browning java moss, and they were having a problem with pest snails. I said nope nope nope and flew outta there with just my pleco

I plan on adding some floaters, someone said frogbit would get tangled around my betta and suffocate him as it happened to the guy I talked with, so I planned on getting duckweed. I might switch back to frogbit though bc more are saying it's messy. I know most fish feel safer with plants, but I...

Hi! I just 'finished' my betta tank! I added plants and a baby bristlenose to the 20 gallon and I might add more plants because I think it's great but could look even better! The betta's name is Zeus, he's from a breeder, and the bristlenose pleco is from my lfs, plants from petsmart (no I...

Fine fine fine... explain why you'd think that plz

This is my betta fish, Zeus! I just got him and am planning to add live plants, snails, and shrimp to his 20 GALLON! Kinda wanted to show him off a little, he even came from a breeder! But also wanted to show off the tank, and ask a question or two as well. So, questions. Do you think shrimp...
