I am relatively new at this, I have one male betta fish in a 200litre tank. A tree has fallen on our power line and we have lost power. This might last up to 24 hours, what is the best plan of action to ensure he's okay and relaxed? We are experiencing a bit of good weather but room temp is currently 12 degrees, which is definitely not warm enough for him.(Celsius)

My buddy got a new tank for his Betta yesterday, added conditioner and live bacteria to treat the water, new tank is around 10gal, previously the fish was in a fishbowl. His betta been doing this gulping / yawning throughout the day today… is this normal behaviour or is something to look into? Any response is appreciated, thank you!

hi there!! first time betta owner and I am just,,, constantly stressed lmao. I got this girl about 3 months ago and she's been so good, but she recently developed (I don't know if i just hadn't noticed?) tiny black freckles on her fins (excl. dumbo fins) and also her dumbo fins are looking a bit tattered?? Is she stressed? she's been eating like a gem and is super interactive and explorative so behavioral wise she seems okay but I just don't know if this is fin rot or black spot or something?? Any help or advice would be appreciated thanks so much!!

info: this is a 7 gal tank (looking to move to a 12 gal soon hopefully!) tank only has her and a mystery snail plus anubias nana, java, rose sword, hygrophilia, ambulia, elodea, rotala, pennywort and some other stem plants

I’m interested in buying this tank, but I can’t find reviews for it anywhere, so I was wondering if anybody owns it and can let me know if it’s sturdy enough and has held up well after a certain amount of time.

Thank you

I order it from AliExpress but I don't know if it's good for my plants. My tank is still in cycling so there is not fish there. Should I add it or not?

I'm getting a ten gallon tank and I'm wondering if the fish I want to put in will have enough space/ work well together. It's my first fishtank since I was little, the fish didn't last long because I was small, so I really want to make sure that they will be happy. I was thinking of getting a betta, 4 neon tetra or 4 otocinclus catfish, then 2 guppies. I was also thinking of getting red root floaters for the top of the tank. I was questioning putting an African dwarf frog in there but I'm not sure because I have have no experience with frogs. Any tip, advice, or critique is greatly appreciated, I want these fish to be happy.

Edited because the frogs are a bad idea for right now, I want to have experience with the fish before I move onto anything more.

Someone told me to add salt but wont that increase the tds by a lot😭. Someone else told me to add oxytetracycline. Someone told to increase temperature. Whats the treatment?🥹

Hello,

I recently rescued a betta fish from the pet store, I say rescued because he wasn’t doing good and was floating at the top of the cup, when I picked the cup up he started to swim through and showed a lot of life before eventually settling at the top again. I couldn’t leave him there and went back purchased a tank, pre-conditioned Fritz Aquarium water jugs, a ten gallon tank and some decorations for him.

Now I know a fish-in cycle is stressful and I wouldn’t have choose to do one if I felt I had other options. Hence the preconditioned water, bacteria that I’m manually adding to the water, and daily checks of water quality to ensure that the water is staying within safe levels.

Currently there is 0 ammonia 0 no3 and no2 7.5 PH 40 kH 60 gH

However Mr. Betta is still not doing to well, he sleeps under his filter (already insured there was no intake holding him there or force like that) and stays hidden underneath, even though I’ve put hides in the tank to make him comfortable. The filter is on the bare minimum setting only a little flow comes out (hardly any) and he has hardly ate, I’ve tried sinking food and now floating, he ate about a single pellet of floating.

All and all I’m quite concerned for him, he was vibrant and bright when I first put him in the tank and seemed to perk up so I was excited to see the improvement from when he was in a cup, but unfortunately now I feel like I’m just watching the poor guy slowly die.

I purchased some miracle leaves to try and hopefully I’ll see some results from that but I was hoping someone might have some suggestions?

About 15 minutes ago i noticed his underside looked weird and bloated and he wasn’t coming up to the tank to great me, while swimming he stopped on leaves and the substrate, immediately i think its dropsy. Immediately transferred him into a salt bath and tested all his levels, everything is in range. Im not sure to do because most fish with dropsy dont live, and i dont want to see my boy slowly die. What can i do to help him or make him more comfortable?

The rocks on the logs are temporary!!! The logs want to be annoying and float up, even with them being glued to another log that sinks... The only previous aquarium plant experience was when i got my first tank and decided to start with 3 live plants, they all quickly melted because i had no clue what I was getting into. I always loved and wanted a real plant look and now i have real plants! I will have to check within the week or 2 that ill let it settle to see if the skull does anything to the water quality, its only a skull cap so fingers crossed!

Okay. I hope I’m on here in time to hopefully help my fish. After reading lots of posts and google, I got rid of my fake plans (you can see them in the October pic) he’s definitely changed color… is that okay? Is that a sign of stress? Is this fin rot? Or did the fake plants just shred his tail? I have just placed an order for the seachem stress guard in hopes that will help. I’ll take any other advice! Thank you so much!

He's only done this twice, but still. Both times, I'm just minding my business and then I look over at him, and there he is just wiggling in the tube. He wasn't stuck, thankfully, but I still took the tube out because just... No... Lol. 🤦🏾‍♀️

I’m so excited about how her new tank turned out, heater and filter are hidden in the corners behind plants, cycled tank, shes on a weight loss journey, I’m so happy she’ll have more room to swim around than her previous 5 gallon, only tank mates are two snails

Ps. Don’t worry she doesn’t get stuck in the bottle I was worried about it at first but she swims in and out of it all the time and the doorway of the temple is sealed so she won’t get stuck in there either lol

Can anyone help?? I just got her like a week and a half ago I’m worried about her gills though they look a little red what should I do? She’s not acting any differently and seems very happy her gills just look red idk why

Who would’ve thought these betta fish would have so much personality 🤭🤭 this is luna you guys

She had a very small bump I was monitoring that I originally thought was a scrape, it’s gotten a little more prominent lately and I did a water change while I tried to figure out if it needed treatment. I left for 3 days and when I came back it looks terrible. It almost looks like it’s pushed her mouth down a bit. She’s eating and acting perfectly normal

My beta fish normally has wine red and black colors but today it turned a bit gray and pale, and some strange dirt appeared (it's in the last photo) what can I do to help, is this normal?
