Thank you everyone for your input; I'll definitely try fasting my fish for a bit and taking away the light to see if that fixes it. I'll be back with an update, hopefully it's one with good news

I'm an idiot I meant iron and/or potassium

Thank you so much for your response! That definitely makes sense and I'll try to cut down on lighted time as Colin said as well. I've pretty much always had trouble with plants in that tank even though it has the same two substrates as my other two tanks mixed up. I've also burried I think 2 of...

Both of these aquariums are planted, I wouldn't say heavily but they are decently planted tanks. It's ironic to me because I never had trouble with algae until I converted my tank to planted and now I've been having so many issues. I don't mind the look of the algae on the rock but it having...

Ever since I put a rock (I forget what kind) into my Betta's aquarium, I've started having trouble with a grassy moss-like-algae. I'll include pictures of it but not only is it covering the rock but it's gone everywhere including coating all of the plants and the substrate in a weird gritty...

He is not flaring at his reflection as there is no reflection. He is flaring at a black completely matte wall that has no glass or reflective properties. It has been 8 hours and he is still flaring at the wall. When I tried to feed him his freeze dried bloodworms he came away only long enough to...

I got a new betta, Artax, about a month ago. When I first got him, he had swim bladder disorder which I have since fixed but now he has gotten a different problem. After he was cured, he was a normal little fishy just gaining weight back. He was super calm and docile. I had a shrimp in with him...

Aha ya thanks for the help. Sorry for the initial confusion

Every animal that we keep has a standard to which they are supposed to look. I'm just wondering how close to the standard my fish is.

Ya I sure hope he's a healthy boy but I was just wondering about how his conformation is. I've been curious about this topic so I was just wanting to know.

The pictures didn't post in the first one so here they are. Also he's a tail biter unfortunately so don't mind that...

I got a new betta a couple weeks ago and he's from Petco so I am not expecting anything miraculous but I'm curious as to how his conformation is. If anyone can tell me how he is good or bad I would greatly appreciate it.

OH MY GOD HE ATE ONE!!!

But why is he dying?! I feel like ive tried everything and nothing is working!

Ok he has stopped eating. He hasnt eaten in at least 3 days. I even put the blood worms on his nose and he like started to get it in his mouth from just him breathing but when he realized, he would spit it out and turn around. Is there a way I can like force feed him or something cause hes...

Ok it doesn't have the screw. I was just thinking though... Could I just poke a small hole into the tubing? Do you think that would work? Cause then I could pretty much personalize the flow right?

I tried loosening the screw but it didn't do anything so I literally took it apart to see if that would do something and nothing changed. Is what I did what you meant for me to do with your first recommendation? Sorry i'm not very handy

Ok I got it all set up and was actually able to get an air stone but the flow is wayyyy too much for the one gallon. I got the 5 gallon air pump because that was the smallest that the store had but its literally spinning my fish around. Should I periodically just turn it on for a second or two...

Ok I got the methylene blue. Which should I do, the dip with 50 ppm of it or the one where he stays in it longer with 3 ppm? If I do the longer one then how long should I do it for? It would be in a 1 gallon so if it is longer than a day how should I do water changes and keep the ppm...

Ill test the water tomorrow to see if anything is out of wack that could be causing this. Though at this point i'm doing 2 to 3 50% water changes a week so if it is at a bad spot i'm not exactly sure what else to do to fix it. I havent seen him move in a couple days but when I look at him every...

Ok so apparently him feeling better was only temporary because now he's back to his lethargic self. I have ordered methylene blue so that should be on its way but I'm just really worried about him. I did the two weeks of the smaller salt treatment and as I had said he was progressing but about a...
