Okay so I went today to grab some and they had tonic salt ,so I put 1 and a half tablespoons in my tank during a water change and tomorrow I will add the other half ,is it normal that my tank has gone quite cloudy and foggy ,I mean I did add some plant tablets for the plants and they kind of...

Okay I should be picking up some salt today ,does anti caking -table salt work?

Where did everyone go?

I also have a black one that’s the same aswell

This is them ,I’m not sure if they are bristlenose or whatever they are

Also everyone I do have some bristlenose cleaner fish at the bottom and they have no scales obviously ,so isn’t salt going to harm them?

Okay everybody I’ll do the water changes and yes there are some like tiny fake plants that are attached to the rocks but I pulled the one off that I think was the culprit ,but I still don’t know if it was that ,my betta is in a community tank with guppies and I observed and I know it wasn’t...

Dedeanasue= okay I’ll do a 75% water change everyday for the rest of this week ,I’m so sorry but I don’t rlly understand what u meant by the 3/4 thing and that ,I get that I need to add salt to the new water going back in but how do I know how much gallons are coming out ,Is there an easier way...

Hi everybody ,I just came to look at my tank and I just noticed that my betta has a rip in it’s fins ,it’s quite big and I’m very worried ,I’m not sure if maybe the other guppies have bitten it or if he just scratched it somewhere ,shall I get some bettafix by API and see if I can heal the fin...

Hi everyone is my filter rubbish ,because I just feel like it’s not good ,here have a look:

essjay = okay I’ll keep feeding him the flakes and hopefully he gets used to it ,maybe I should try pellets in the future though.

Essjay =I have had him for for 3 days . Maybe I’ll get some betta pellets if they are better ,That’s a good idea to presoak them actually ,I might do that ,I’m also thinking of getting a bunch of like first aid stuff so that incase I do find sickness I can treat it in another small plastic tank...

Colin_T =Well the ammonia is 0 and the nitrite is 0 and my tank has been running for 5 weeks I do a water change once a week ,I take out 25% sometimes a bit more than that. I do gravel clean with a aquavac,I put some tapsafe in after ,but I don’t do it with the new water ,should I put it with...

Hello everyone ,I care extremely about my betta and I have been very worried after watching a bunch of videos on them and I just need somebody to re assure me that he is not ill.he does spit his food out and doesn’t eat a lot a lot ,also his eyes do look a bit red. Please do get back to me.

Essjay is great for helping you out ,she knows a lot and seems to be very educated

YAY YAY YAYYYYYY ,I discovered what the problem was ,behind that filter on the outside of the tank was a kind of metallic warning sticker ,well from the inside it’s reflective ,so the reason the betta kept going up there and flaring it’s gills was because in the reflection it could see another...

Well I just added some seachem which is supposed to do that right?ill do a bunch of water changes over the days and keep testing the tank,Thankyou for that. So earlier I moved the guppies all into another tank but the betta was still doing the same thing.Wht I have realised is that when I turn...

Also ,my tank is a 65 litre.

Right so I did a 50% water change and the ammonia looks a bit better however the nitrite is the same ,the Bettas behaviour changed for 20 minutes ,he was out and about but then he went back behind that god damn filter and squeezed himself in there ,I have a canister filter ,water flow is minimal...

Hi everyone ,I purchased a tropical tank 5 weeks ago ,took a while to cycle ,I have my own test kit so I would check every week ,anyway ,it finally cycled and I brought some fish yesterday ,2 guppies,bristlenose and a betta (now I know that it’s not the best idea to put these together ,however...
