Ottos are cute, too. I dunno, I just have my heart set on those corydoras...:fun:

6 x c. hasbrosus sounds perfect. I love the way that dart around at the bottom of the tank, they are gorgeous.   I really want to avoid him eating other living things in the tank xD I'd just feel too guilty about that.

So I currently have a 5 gallon tank with a heater and filter which houses my Betta, Kasai.    I'm considering upgrading to a 10 gallon tank. I would like to be able to design the tank a bit more, and that is difficult to do with a 5 gallon tank.   I'd also like to add some more fish in. I don't...

Tested everything tonight. Nitrates - 0 Nitrites - 0 Ph - 7.2 Ammonia - .25 So it looks like that Sera Toxivec is doing something! :)

Okay, let me clarify - the LFS I went to last week told me not to worry about Prime. I went to another one on Sunday, the guy there seems to own the place, and he gave me wardley and Sera toxivec. He told me to only do 30% water changes. The thing about treating water before I put it in...

Okay, so I went to my LFS yesterday.   Kasai has mild fin rot. The guy gave me something called wardley promethyasul to put in the tank to cure it.  Does anyone know about this stuff and if it works well?   I told him I was doing 50% water changes in my uncycled tank daily, and he said it will...

Thanks both of you. I didn't get a chance to go to the LFS today.    I tested again after a 75% water change;   pH - 7.4 Ammonia - .5ppm Nitrite - 0 Nitrate - 0   It doesn't matter what I do :/

Okay thanks. I'll go to the store tomorrow and grab some prime. It irks me that the guy at the aquarium didn't urge me to get it... I don't trust that place. They weren't very helpful or interested.

Okay I'm kind of freaking out here :(   Each day I've changed the water about 50%.   Ammonia won't go down :(    I just put in some API PH down, will that help?   I asked the guy at the aquarium store if I should get some Prime, and he said no, since I am already using API Stress Zyme + Stress...

Results Day 3:   Ph - 7.2 Ammonia - .5 Nitrite - 0 Nitrate - 0

Day 2:   PH - 7.2 Ammonia - .5ppm Nitrite - 0 Nitrate - 0         Thanks... I will keep at it!

Okay, here are my test results for today using API Master Kit:   PH - 7 Ammonia - .25ppm Nitrite - 0 Nitrate - 0

Oh thank you sooo much. That is a huge, huge relief. I am so glad he isn't burnt.    I thought he might have been a crown tail. They are so pretty.   On another note - does anyone know if it is good to 'flare' your betta? I.e. put a mirror near them and get them to flare at their reflection...

Thank you, I'll put that on my shopping list.   Do his burns look bad? 

Yes -  I am treating it with;   API Stress Zyme API Stress Coat and AquaOne Water Conditioner.    The AquaOne is probably unnecessary since I have the other two?   Also, I've attached a picture of him showing his awful burns  

That's really quite adorable! :)   I feed him Figherbites from Aquatopia... duunno how good that is for him

Thanks Bigcheed, I'll certainly do my best.   He isn't eating at the moment. Sigh.

I will then.   I just put him in his 20L tank and he is a bit more active which is hopeful.

Thanks DrRob for your input.   I just netted him and put him into the 20L tank. I don't know if I have a bigger one around, but the thing is his 20L tank has been heating for the past 7 hours or so, so he might be more comfortable in there.   Having said that, he is just sitting there at the...

Thank you so much bigcheed for replying, I've been sitting here waiting anxiously for someone to get back to me.   I have been doing some reading since I posted this, and I think I've got it now.    At the moment he is in the small tank as I moved home today (was at my bfs). The big tank is...

Hey, this is my first post on these forums.   I bought my fish about a week and a half ago on the 27th of June. Completely on a whim from the pet store. I haven't had fish as a grown up since this one.   He's a betta fish called Kasai.   Anyway, I want to care for him as best I can.   I've been...
