Hey there :) I always add dark background poster like a tangle of roots or a heap of rocks. For example :

According to me, canister or internal, Eheim and Oase are the two best.

IF they are really Peacock cichlid, they come from Malawi lake and there are somewhat +/- 20 different types ! Any tank mates that could stress-out them and be why they only come out at night ?

I think you wanted to respond to @my good little betta rather than to me :lol: :lol:

No risk at all, unless you use lower-end products. The best way to know what's in your tank is to check water parameters, that should be : pH 6-7 Hardness (GH) below 8 Alkalinity (KH) below 6 Ammonia zero Nitrites zero Nitrates zero Temp. 22-25°C / 71.6-77°F "Tons" of live plants including...

You're welcome ;) Wait for 2-3 weeks and check their shape. If necessary you could catch them this way :

How about its length ?

Hey :) Very probably a traditional Provencal Christmas eve dinner even if not definitely decided yet.

I'm pretty sure you did nothing wrong. At all. I got mine 7 years but he was one of a kind, a real character. 4-5 years that's very good and uncommon ;)

Hey :) Probably baby snails arrived eggs stage with plants then have hatched.

Looks like leech. Is it segmented ?

Yes good idea too if of very fine ppi like 30 or better 45.

Mine while nipping ! sorry for the poor quality.

A pH 6.5 to 7 would be perfect.

Hey there :) No tank mates. Puffers are well known fin nippers.

I had to spell it in my mind before I wrote it 😵‍💫😂

Not "might" or "probably". It DOES WORK :) even shrimp larvae aren't sucked in.

Not enough thin.

Hi there :) Depends on shrimp size but you could use a small piece of well extended (women) thin stockings fixed with an elestic band. It works nicely.

Also possibly. More clearer pics would be helpFUL

You could use water conditionner like Seachem "prime", or Tetra that neutralize chlorine, chloramine, and heavy metals.

Hello there :) Betta does prefer low water parameters such as : pH 6 to 7 hardness (GH) below 8 alkalinity below 6 and of course zero ammonia, zero nitrites and zero nitrates. For example, here are the kind of tanks a Betta loves to live in :

Hey there :) Keep in mind that living bloodworms can carry pathogens of various diseases, are high calorie feed with a high content of animal protein that can cause if too abundantly given, intestinal inflamation, so feed bloodworms parsimoniously.

Hey there :) As said, maybe an anomaly. Or an ectoparasite. You need to monitor it.

Hey all :) The 5th wave is settling in France and I am afraid that it is a bad omen for the year-end celebrations... Stay safe and take care of yours, everyone !

It's up to you. At least, anesthetize him.

Not all change their colors and patterns. Only those carrying the marble gene.

Yes it is ! It's even a good thing to make him to muscle his fins and body which is a token of good health.

In any case, can you answer the questions asked ?

Hey :) It could be cyst, tumor, fibromas.... Hard to help with so few infos. How long did it take to grow this size ? What are water parameters : ammonia, nitrites, nitrates ? Incidentally GH (hardness), KH (alkalinity) and pH ? Temperature ? Tank settings ? If you want to surgically remove this...

Hey :) Your Betta Plakat spreads his fins (he flares) when he sees his refection in the glass, thinking it is an "invader". It is definitely normal coz he is a territorial fighting fish that chases any opponent from his "kingdom".

@Linda1956 could you please give us
