Seems a bit overstocked to me, maybe wrong though.

 

[WILDER]

The tank is overstocked and the nitrite reading is telling you that,
Immediate water change.
Maybe investing in another filter to help with the load of fish.

my nitrite level always been between 0 and 0.3 .my filter is a fluval 3 and every shop owner i talk with said to me i could have up to 35 fish inside because they all are small fish.
any other suggestion please

 

[WILDER]

The reading should be 0, or do you mean the test colour goes to 03.
It wouldn't harm to add another filter I run two, your tanks well stocked.

You could get the betta a little tank of his own,

Actually what they should have been telling you is that you could have about 35 inches of fish. The general guide for new tanks is 1" of fish (adult size) per gallon of water. But shop owners are notorious for giving bad advice on stocking levels and compatibility. After all, they want to sell fish.

The stock you have is more fitting for a tank of about 5 gallons (I actually have less fish than that in my 75 gallon). The reason Wilder has suggestted a second filter is to process the water fast enough to handle the ammonia and nitrite. Basically, since you have the stock of about a 75 gallon tank, you also need the filtration to match. The filter you have is a good filter (rated at about 175 gallon per hour) for a 33 gallon tank. But you need something more along the lines of 350 gph for the fish load you have.

Its not fine now as you have deseases.
Columnaris can be due to overstocking, poor water quality and stress, temp being unstable.
You will need anti internal bacterial med by interpet and pimafix for the popeye, and columnaris.

i know it s not fine now but at the end of the day it s like human body .you can go without being ill for years and suddenly you are being sick .it s exactly the same thing.
i m not asking people to preach me about what number of fish i have in my tank or anything of this kind i m just asking what to do about the disease like when us human going to the doctor because we don t know what s going wrong with us
thanks for your help anyway

 

[WILDER]

You always have to look at stocking and water stats when a fish get ill.
Good luck.
