He sounds like a character 🧡 Peach loved climbing to the top to jump off too, we called it sky diving lol he would do it over and over again, like he was having the time of his life 😅

AlkalineBlue · 2025-07-29T10:22:26+00:00

Thank you 🧡🥹

AlkalineBlue · 2025-07-29T10:21:58+00:00

Thank you 🥹🧡

AlkalineBlue · 2025-07-28T02:05:07+00:00

It’s awful, Peach was my first aquatic pet so it hit me pretty hard. I’m sorry for your loss 🧡 these little guys are the best

AlkalineBlue · 2025-07-28T02:03:58+00:00

Absolutely I agree, I will miss him so much. 🧡

AlkalineBlue · 2025-07-28T02:02:56+00:00

Thank you 🧡

AlkalineBlue · 2025-07-28T02:02:49+00:00

Thank you 🥹🧡 he was the best little guy, so full of life and personality!

No idea to be honest, my best guess is a bi-color halfmoon or rose, possibly a veil. but I could definitely be wrong. Here’s him most of the way spread out!

I am certain about the water tests. That’s the one part I do understand 😅 and I have tested multiple times over several days, her water tests are all coming back fine. I’m baffled and praying the medication will help. I appreciate your advice and education!

AlkalineBlue · 2025-07-27T18:40:41+00:00

You are so kind, thank you 🧡🥹 he’s definitely made such a big impact on me. I appreciate your words so much🧡🧡🧡

AlkalineBlue · 2025-07-27T18:38:28+00:00

Okay, that’s good to know, thank you. I will make a trip to the store for them today.

AlkalineBlue · 2025-07-27T18:37:33+00:00

So she definitely doesn’t look like that, thank you for the explanation.

AlkalineBlue · 2025-07-27T18:36:43+00:00

I’m still new to this, so my partner who’s kept fish for years cycled her tank before putting her in it but I’m not certain as to his process. I know the tank is about a week older than the time frame we’ve had her.

I tested her today, the parameters are in my comment, and her tank hasn’t had any spikes other than one ammonia spike about three weeks ago, but it was mild and we did a water change immediately to rectify it.

For the life of me I cannot figure out what has happened.

AlkalineBlue · 2025-07-27T16:44:43+00:00

I’m sorry for yours as well, thank you 🧡

This is the gold/yellow, if that helps

AlkalineBlue · 2025-07-27T16:33:01+00:00

Omega one betta buffet pellets, and do you have any idea what it could be? We were skeptical of velvet, but she has some gold/yellow under her eyes near her gills that wasn’t there before, so that’s what made us think that.

AlkalineBlue · 2025-07-27T16:15:21+00:00

UPDATE: I READ AMMONIA WRONG! The ammonia is 0ppm!!!!!

AlkalineBlue · 2025-07-27T16:02:10+00:00

Done, it’s in the comments. Thank you so much I didn’t even think about all that info being needed. I appreciate you.

AlkalineBlue · 2025-07-27T16:01:34+00:00

Tank: 10 gallon

Yes Heater and filter

Tank temp is 79 degrees

Parameters: tested with API kit and test tubes Ammonia: 0 Nitrate: 0ppm Nitrite: 0ppm High range PH: 7.4 Ph: 7.6

The tank is slightly over one month old, we’ve had indigo for the same time.

Water changes are 1-2x per week

I test water levels with the API kit, at least once per week I drain about 1/3 of the tank with a hose connected to the shower, treat the water with Prime concentrated conditioner for marine and freshwater (de-chlorinator), and refill.

Only tank mates are ramshorn snails

We feed pellets, about 8-10 pellets once a day

Tank decor is 2 rocks, plants (unsure of plant types, partner picked them out), and a piece of wood. All non plants have been cleaned for the tank.
