My very favorite ! And icing on the cake, non annual !

Killifish are beautiful ant most can live in nano tanks.

I'm curious to know @emeraldking 's opinion...

4 also in 10 gal. I say 4, more for a matter of no stress rather than tank capacity. I love these lil bugs. They are very interactive fishes.

That is right.

😂

PP aren't designed to live alone. Why not choose another fish that truly lives alone or by pair ? No, Seriously Fish says "could" that is different ;)

It is a gregarious fish. Alone it will let itself waste away. You could read this article : https://www.pufferfishenthusiastsworldwide.com/post/c-travancoricus

4 is feasable IF here I emphasize IF there will be tons of plants and hiding places. They will do better.

Oh my... Cruel you :eek::oh: @OliveFish05 you dared to deprive us of this BEAUTIFUL pond :lol::lol::lol:??

Hello :) If you're talking about (Carino)Tetraodon travancoricus, not a single PP or it will turn stressed-out ! It needs to be 4 in your tank.

Depends on which fish : Siamese fighting Betta is designed to live alone, some Killifishes are small enought to live in pair.

Hey :) As Bruce said it right, shrimps is a good suggestion. Many are beauties !

Great ! You just turned into auntie/unky (just kidding ;) )

Yes it is correct. I can give you the way in PM if you think about "this".

again, sorry, but everything... is artificial. Betta love this kind of densely planted tank : I understand ;) You did that at short notice ;) How long does it take him to eat the whole amount of food ? 5 min ? 10 min ?

Logically, he should be about 9 months old. Very low quality. Under normal circumstances how long does it take him to eat the amount you give him ? How many times a day do you feed him ? Sorry to say this but his tank is definitely unsuitable. Definitely.

Yes, the only harmless, gentle and respectfull way.

There is a harmless, gentle and respectfull way to do this.

Think to change it at the same temp. as tank's. The rest is good ✅ What precisely do you feed him ? And please overall pics of your tank. How old is he ?

Oh poor fish... at 1st sight I see intestinal occlusion and dropsy, maybe finrot which is the least of its worries. We all need more info (please, hurry up). - ammonia - nitrites - nitrates - GH (hardness) - KH (alkalinity) - pH Overall pics of your tank.

Hey there :) No Ichthyophthirius "white spots" multifiliis here. Could you give us more info ? - ammonia - nitrites - nitrates - GH - KH - pH Yeah, orange morph Trichogaster labiosa.

Once again !! Aquarium keeping on advices of petshops is the worst thing that can happen to a fishkeeper !

Hello :) I always fast my fishes once a week but the day after, as soon as I passed before the tank I was faced with this

Good ! So that was a Tubelaria, it is known to appear and disappear like the Cheshire cat !

I still consider pH 8.2 is too close to pH 8.5 even if stability is important, but it's up to you. Edit : Betta mahachaiensis is used to live in Nypa fruticans roots.

Ooch ! that's the upper limit of normal mahachaiensis can bear. It would be (much) better to provide it pH 7.5 and GH 15. I always advice to target the middle of the range, never upmost or lowest limits if you want your fish to thrice ;)

Yeah ! The smallest mouthbrooder Betta ! Normally, yes. What are your tapwater parameters ? Right. Females are usually less colored than males. Theoretically speaking, yes. But it also will depends on females personality : it could works if from a sorority. Or not.

The only gregarious Betta I kept years ago was Betta chanoides. First 2 males and 1 female, then 3 males and 6 females. Males were flaring but nothing else.

Hello :) Stunning isn't it ? It is OK for a pair. But as this Betta (and most others) is territorial, it wants to enlarge its kingdom and will do do everything possible to achieve this. So to 2 males even in a rather large tank is to put a fish at risk of being wounded, and the infection that...

Do edges of the wound seem a little better or not ?

They share a huge part of responsability, so do some books. I guess I'm included in "more aggressive members" It makes me wish the person that called me 'toxic" will read your words too. You have no idea...

I agree. That said, I saw so many people buying/adopting a dog/cat young or adult because "it is so cuuuuuute", then realizing they need to be (re)educated to not pee/poo everywhere, to not bark indiscrimately etc, and because of that bring the pet back to shelter/breeder. I even witnessed a man...

You mean this : It had caught my attention but obviously not enough :lol: In French it is said protogynous hermaphroditism (possibly different in English). Wow this IS incredible 😲 No one tell me fishes aren't extraordinary living-beings !

Sorry but without clearer pics (I know, hard to shoot a fish) I can only make suppositions : It may be 2 types of external parasites : - Turbellaria (which is a small flatworm = trematoda) = planarian, responsible for the "black spot disease". In fact these are small worms that attach themselves...

Why not ?

Well, it is a kind of hermaphrodism : it is protogynous h̶e̶r̶m̶a̶p̶h̶r̶o̶d̶i̶t̶i̶s̶m̶e : fish is boen female then turn into male. Edit : hermaphroditism
