The heater keeps the tank at 80 degrees F. My sister set up the heater, but all I know is what I just stated. Yes, it has a filter. The current, Im not much of an expert on that, but my best answer is that the current is moderately strong. Yes it’s cycled I change the water every four days To...

My betta fish recently contracted fin rot unfortunately, so I began treating him. I’m kinda new to keeping bettas btw, but I started treating him with API fungus cure. It contains malachite green and acriflavine. I also have a nerite snail, so to be safe, I put him in another container which I’m...

I have a male betta fish that seems to be unusually aggressive. He likes to try to nibble my finger a lot when I feed him (he jumps). Also recently I cleaned his tank and removed all algae growing on the glass which probably lets him see his reflection better, so he flares his gills a lot more...

Yeah, I'm pretty sure. My snail sleeps most of the time, anyways.

I have a betta fish named Thomas Jefferson & he's a very healthy fish in a 5 gallon tank, but everyday he flares his gills and gets into that betta fighting mode. I tried my best to prevent him from seeing his reflection too much, but he still acts the same. He lives with a nerite snail named...

I have a male half moon betta fish named Thomas Jefferson and last week he appeared to have a small break or cut in his fins, and I noticed that it had already started healing, so I ignored it. Today, when I came home, the cut seemed to look fine, but after I went to the store and got back, his...

I recently posted a thread about how my betta was inactive and other stuff I explained (link to thread is http://www.fishforums.net/threads/help-betta-is-inactive.444894/#post-3766125 ) and I did everything that people suggested (basically everything I was able to) and I didn't notice any of...

Actually, now that I think about it, I did a lot of research and learned that using the amount of chemical products I put into my water isn't good...I'm going to cut down on how much I use them but I won't stop completely, because they do help. But my ammonia is most likely high since my pH is...

I tested my parameters using one of those dip-and-read test kits that have those pieces of paper that have pads on them and you match the colors to the chart that it comes with, so I don't know the exact numbers, but nitrate and nitrite, are both 0, the alkalinity is about 120, but the hardness...

I have a halfmoon twin tail betta fish and he's been very inactive lately, he's been hanging out at the bottom of the tank and doesn't really do anything. He still eats and moves around every few hours (or if i get him to). I also just started going back to school and haven't been seeing him...

So whenever I turn on my betta fish's lights in the morning and try to feed my betta, it usually takes about 5 minutes for my betta to actually swim up from the gravel and eat the food. I was wondering if bettas need a bit of time to actually wake up and have energy?

Hey friends I'm new around here and I'll say a little about myself. I have a twin tail half moon betta (male) named King Neptune and a nerite snail named James Madison. I've a huge passion for music (and food) and spoil my pets rotten. So, I'll just be hanging around the forums, occasionally...

Yeah, the tank is filtered and heated. I'll bring a sample of my tank water over to my local pet store today. Thanks for letting me know

Oh okay thanks!

I recently got a new snail (which i'm not sure if there's even a snail in there, probably not) and my betta started acting weird. He hangs out on the gravel against the glass really close to the snail, and doesn't move much. But then, whenever he does move (when I coax him into moving, that is)...

I'm planning on getting a zebra nerite snail, and was doing research about what they eat. Most sources recommended algae wafers but I learned that those aren't good to have around bettas. I was wondering what other alternatives there were that both my betta and snail could eat? Or if it's better...
