Just fill the tank with fresh water. Using old water has no benefit

I'd break one by squeezing a whale into it..

Tell her that bowls are more likely to explode so a 10 gallon tank is essential ?

From what I can see, @Essjay is right. Although there isn't anything which can reverse it, the fish can still live happily. Pick a corner to feed the fish from incase he goes completely blind so that he can find food easily. You can tap the rim of the tank at feeding times so that he knows there...

Betta tank sizes are always up for debate and I've kept bettas in many different sized tanks. I know you're seeking specific dimensions, but as a rule of thumb, avoid anything below 4G. I've seen 4G tanks with a long footprint which would be plenty for a betta. Bigger is always better, mainly...

You're confusing the advice given by essjay, who is giving that advice for a specific reason

First rule of troll club, never mention troll club

He turns them into pâté and eats it on toast

Before you get carried away, you might want to find out what the general hardness of your water is to make sure it's suitable for a betta

There's plenty of muppets around who have pet monkeys, lions and tigers. They won't be worried about your whale in a wine barrel

...

Fold it a few times and cram it in. Then enter for TOTM

I got very scared

Think it needs a whale in it

Anyone wanna mention the sharks or that the tanks is too small for that many goldfish?

This thread is an echo chamber

No advice is better than "I don't know" advice

Can you tell my missus to listen to me too? Would appreciate it ?

Are you trolling?

2 bettas can not be kept together, of any gender. They will fight, its just males are more prone to fight to the death. Wild species can live together harmoniously, but not domestics.

Only corrected on the analogy. Your point was well made

You know beneficial bacteria doesn't live in the water right?

Isn't keeping a fish in a barrel, providing its of a fair size, the same as having it in a pond? Isn't this "tubbing" and frequently done by many hobbiests? Struggling to see whats cruel here..

It won't stand the test of time and will ultimately be cruel on the fish. We need to remember that these youtubers set up tanks like this purely for 'content' without the livestocks best intentions at heart

Take them into your LFS. You could get store credit for them

Grow moss against it

The ice cubes in a sandwich bag is a good idea, but overall, don't panic. We turn up the heat in the tank when treating fish for ich, as an example and you shouldn't have problems with the heat for a short period of time. When trying to bring down the temp through waterchanges, you need to be...

In a couple weeks, when half of the bettas fins have disappeared, we can all agree it isn't a crowntail and that it's fin rot ?

That's how the fish will look in a matter of weeks following your advice. The OP hasn't had the fish long. It's not a crowntail, that's early fin rot. I'm not going to argue about it because I frankly don't care

Just keep the water clean and that'll heal up in no time ? looks to have just been caught on something

Have you even looked at the pictures? The fins are receding. It's fin rot.

That isn't crowntail genetics, they are receding rips. Daily waterchanges of 75%, with substrate vacuuming should do the job. If after a week, it has become worse, then report back. I would also recommend that you do not use stress coat as it contains aloe vera which is harmful to the bettas...

Your two male bettas didn't fight because of the amount of water they were in. Wild caught bettas are put into a litre bottle together, they don't fight because they're isn't enough water to be territorial and the whole event is too stressful for them to care, much like when you'd scoop your...

Misinformation. Females do not usually fight to the death like the males do, but will still fight and are just as aggressive. I've seen females beat up males during the breeding process. Overall, like bettas, ADF's do not belong in a community set up

We also use it to call someone a liar- "he's gassed" or to call the lie- "that's gas" Weird bunch really

It's not a nano tank without a shark in it

When is the shark going in?

Keep performing large waterchanges until the ammonia is at 0

Too much space in there, you'd only have to fold it a few times
