Ok. Thank you again. I really appreciate all the information and time everyone is taking to try and help me. 💜

I was told yesterday about the “fix” medications that’s why I haven’t used anything. What brand is best for ich? There are also corydoras in that tank and I read that they don’t tolerate a lot of medications. They look like little sprinkles of sugar or salt. I can try and take better pictures...

Sorry to bother you again but I am noticing small white dots on a few of the fishes fins and it does look like the betta has a cut or something. Petco says to use betta fix. I know they have inch pedicures and antibiotics and all kinds of other stuff but what should I do? The water in both tanks...

Haha good point!

Thank you both. That is safe for them? I use that at work and wouldn’t think to use that.

We already are enjoying it! I just worry too much and read too much. I didn’t think it would so involved. Certainly not a pet for a 5 year old. Well not if you want things done, right, and the fish to live as comfortable as possible. This all started because my ex has a betta for my son at that...

I also just tested everything in the new tank and it all seems good for now.

So it’s ok to move her to the new tank I just set up as long as it’s warm enough? These are the pics of her from just now with the light.

Ok. I just tested water from the tap and water that I treated yesterday with conditioner. The ph looks to be 6.8 - 7. I also tested everything else ammonia, nitrite and nitrate with the master test kit and the strip. The ammonia looks fine all around, the others are completely fine on the strip...

They sold me the top fin water conditioner that is what I have used every time I add tap water. I have searchem ammonia and ph tester that stay in the tank with little suction cups, the api 5 in 1 test strips and a fresh water master test kit. I had purchased the sand because I read it was...

Ok. The package said stick them in up to 3/4 but to keep uncovered on top but should I just pull them up and let them float around? I don’t want any rotting! Why would that moron sell me the medicine with tea tree when the betta was my biggest concern?!?! This is why I joined here. Those...

Thank you so much again! So I read the link and all the link on the page and wonder if my tank may actually be cycled by now. I have the filter that came with the tank and I also bought a sponge filter that makes the bubbles. Hopefully the good bacteria are living on there 🤞. All the readings...

It was set up on Christmas Eve with no fish for the first week. They said to bring a sample of the water in to make sure it was ok but you are correct they just wanted to push a sale. So maybe it is not cycled yet? I put that stuff it yesterday but after doing more research I didn’t put it in...

“Santa” (my mother)got my 5 year old fish for Christmas. I have 2 rescued dogs and a cat but I’ve never had fish. We now have a 20 gallon community tank. There is a female betta (who is the one I am most worried about), cory cats, glow tetras (who the people at the store said would be perfect...
