Ahh ok thank you! He was stuck in some plastic grass I had in there (before I removed everything harmful) so it must be that. I appreciate it!

I have been having a heck of a time getting my once healthy betta, healthy again. I’ve done all things… daily water changes, aquarium salt, bigger tank, removed everything that wasn’t a live or silk plant, bought different water conditioner, bought water tests, bacteria, etc. I’m going to leave...

Ok. I have top fin and someone said it would be okay to finish it out but then buy Seachem. Maybe I’ll just go grab that. Thank you!

Hello! I’ve doing daily water changes to lower the ammonia in my bettas tank. My Nitrite and Nitrate numbers are not going down though. Is there a trick to get these numbers lowered? He’s not doing to good. Nitrite: 0.5-1.0 Nitrate: 5.0 Ammonia: 0.5 pH: 6.8

It was a plastic grass thing. I have removed it from the tank and now there is just two live and a couple silk plants.

Yes. I was testing the water today and couldn’t find him. I got out my fish net to run over the grass thing he likes to hide in and I saw his fins moving but he wasn’t coming out. I pulled the grass up out of the tank and his head was caught. I had to pull the grass apart and then be swam out...

It is the scale color changing. I’ll look up that medicine. I have aquarium salt I was thinking of trying. I feel so awful for him!

Can anyone help me? My fish has been sick so I’ve been doing water changes to get the ammonia and nitrites to 0. I went out of town and my fil did the water changes for me on my bettas tank. I came home and he was stuck in one of the plant things I have in the tank. I have no idea how he got...

Thank you all!

Can someone please help me read what this level is? My eyes aren’t the best unfortunately. I tried holding it in natural light against white.

Today they are Nitrate: between 0-5.0ppm Nitrite: between 0-0.25ppm pH: 6.8-7.0 Ammonia: between 0.25-0.5

Aqueon

I didn’t even think to since it has a different size filter cartridge.

No 😬

Ok. I’m just concerned he’s dying slowly and painfully and that hurts my heart for him. I’ll keep trying. I did switch him from a 3 gallon to 10 gallon and had to get a bigger filter

pH 6.8 Nitrite: 0.25ppm Nitrate: 0ppm

He doesn’t eat anymore so I’ve just been doing a couple pellets once a week. He doesn’t even try to go for them. 😩

This still looks like 1.0 right? I did 70-75% water change yesterday. I’m using Top Fin Betta Water Conditioner. I have a filter. I just don’t understand. Should I try to find him a new owner that can help save him?? I have been trying for weeks and he’s not getting better. I don’t want him...

So I read it wrong and checked after. Should I be concerned that it is now at 1.0 or should I check it in a couple hours? I’m trying my best to not freak out. This poor fish deserves better than being poisoned by this stupid water. 😩

Oh okay. I’ll go do that now!

I just did a 20% change. I made sure the temp was the same as the tank. Is there a timeframe to when he should start feeling better? I don’t want him suffering. He used to be so happy and active.

Oh shoot. Well it worked because I bought it. 🥺

It didn’t contain it, I had to buy it separately. The directions in the test kit said to use it. I have the API Freshwater Test Kit

I posted help to read the results and looks like I have 0.50 ammonia. I added ammolock per the directions in the water test kit. Will he be okay after I treat the water? Or has he been in it too long?

Thank you! I tried all sorts of light and just couldn’t figure it out. My eyes are awful

Can someone help me read the results??
