errrg i have been having a few little problems... so tank has been set up for like two weeks now. i have my betta, crab and a few plants to start with. i wanted to get a few tetra so i went to the store and what i had ASKED for was three black neons and three glowlights. but they had 3-4 different types of tetras in one tank and i ended up with one black noen, three glowlights and two that i have not been able to identify yet.
(the plan was to buy 3 black neons, 3 glowlights and return the next week for three of each more to have a total of six each)
i have looked at a few pages that show different types of tetras and i have found a few with red tails but none that look just like these.
i have also found that two of my plants are not even water plants but house plants sold as water plants at petco... thanks to another thread on here and i will soon be removing them
my betta has a case of fin rot. at first i thought maybe he had a tiff with the crab but it kept getting worse so my roommate looked and told me it was fin rot.
i bought a pack of Maracyn and have been treating the water. after the third day of treatment i woke up to extremely clouded water. is this caused by the Maracyn?
when i bought the tetras i also bought some chain sword plants and they will absolutly not stay planted. they are now floating around the top. and with those i seem to have acquired some snails. i have identified them as european ramshorn snails. i have read that they dont get much bigger than a pea and dont really eat plants and bettas will usually eat their babies. so i am not too worried bout em. if i have to i will get a loach.
what should i do about the cloudy water, chain sword not staying down and what the hell are these fish i have??? once the water clears i can take a pic but i really want to take care of the water problem first.
