This happens very often with wild caught fishes. And with fishes that live in too small tanks.

Nice to hear this ! Monitor his poo.

Hey there :) 22.5°C issn't enough for a Betta fish. It should live at 25-26°C. If possible in a 10 gal. 10 gal. is way too small for a Goldfish. 25 gal should be the minimum considered. Both fishes want live plants, especially Betta that needs heavily planted tank. What are, in numbers, water...

Nice !! Please think to give us, proud godfathers and godmothers, some news ;)

From France to Pennsylvania.................. need to get my arms extended 😂

Hi Tom, you should ask your "mom" to shoot you less blurred :whistle: ;)

Right. So both are necessary.

I believe you ;) mine was also a kind of a rascal : he wanted to crunch "his" nerite's antennas ! He would hide behind a root or a leaf, watching for the nerite ! I had the fastest nerite in antenna vanishing !

Only lucky bamboo (Dracaena) does well immerged. Others decay rather quickly.

It's up to you ;) Don't forget to check ammonia, nitrites, nitrates up.

Hey :) They seem to be be males, but................ Please post clear and lighter pic of them swimming.

Hey :) Pregnant ! You're about to become an auntie (or godmother) :lol:

Hey :) It could work well............... or not. Very hard to know the way it will turn. You could swapp filter and add some live BB, and regularly check ammonia, nitrites, nitrates.

Hey :) How large is your tank ? Platies are very active swimmers and males are very often harassing females. Also, pics of your tank would be helpful.

Hey :) Why plastic ? Natural roots such as spider or mopani or rock like lava, will give your tank much more style than plastic. Anubias are "tank plant for dummies":lol: Love them : they come in so many leaf shapes, colors and sizes.

Sewellia, Gastromyzon, Beaufortia. My late Betta HM-CT.

There is eSHa-ndx against flat and round worms.

you're welcome ;)

In case of "shorts" fin, it's a Betta plakat, maybe a 'polka dot' pattern. In doubt, you could deworm him with eSHa-ndx (efficient againts flat and round worms). If you waterchange, make sure it is at the same temperature as tank's.

Hey :) Excuse me but how do you know he's not constipated if uve never seen its poo ?

Hey :) No, as long as it's not specifically meant to be immersed. There are many posters you can stick on the outside.

Hi :) Looks like S. nigrita. Male or female ? BYW, if you need to handle it, beware of its dorsal spine that hurts ++++

Hi :) Samurai or Dragon. Depends on its scales ;)

Hi, calcium through shrimp dedicated food like https://aquariumbreeder.com/how-to-supplement-shrimp-and-snails-with-calcium/

Woah ! Bright-yellow, and BIG !! Thanks for sharing :)

Hi, Without water parameters, bare minimum NH3 NO2 NO3, or better adding GH KH pH, no one would be able to help your fish. Please provide overviews of your tank.

You're right in poiting it : copper is dangerous even deadly to invertebrates.

There is none fight here but kind thoughts.

Clove oil is used in veterinarian surgery to anaesthetize fishes that wake up after anaesthesia.

They do not hold their breath in clove oil. They first sleep then the 2nd dose of clove oil make breath slow down progressively and stop.

Excuse me but, any reference(s) ?? Bookmark it.

Hi :) Accordinf to me, no. Fish would not be freezed instantly. Or you need to make it sleep with clove oil before freeze it.

The best, respectful and only way to be sure fish has been euthanised is to proceed the way I told you. You will overcome your sadness. Been there done that.

Hey :) This is how I euthanize. A very sad moment. Dosage given for fish up to 8 cm/3 inches. What is needed : - a container for 1.5 litres of water (to be adapted to fish size) with lid - a small vial with a cap, - a net, - clove oil. 1) Fill the container with water from the aquarium...

Hey :) The only way to check a rock is hydrochlorid acid. Vinegar and lemon juice aren't enough accurate. Also you should have boiled it for a good sterilization, and filed it down to get rid of any roughness.

Right, heat speeds up metabolism.

Hey :) Why ? Because they're way too many to trust LFS/LPS "advices".

Congrats trophy1

Hi, Not necessarily. I use Eheim internal "classic 150" in bedroom, so quiet I could sleep on it.

Hi, Probably a young male. Its length ?
