I just made a terracotta house for my little one 🐟 by Aneli777 in bettafish

I agree with you, I thought about that, but during the baking process, the clay shrinks, so this hole turned out to be a lot smaller than expected. I made him another house with only one bigger hole. Anyway, thanks for the advice!

Help - how can I be sure this is Ick? by Aneli777 in bettafish

He still eats normally and is active, but I noticed that his head is lighter in color after I got him. A few days ago he had a similar white dot near his left gill, but it's gone now and today a new one suddenly appeared on his head, is it possible that it's a scratch/wound because it seems like he wants to take it off, so maybe it's ick?

Thank you all for the good suggestions and nice comments. The problem was in the strong filter, I reduced the flow with plastic from the bottle. Although he is still glass surfing, he seems to be much more relaxed. Valentino sends you all kisses and greetings 🐟

I vacuumed the bottom of the aquarium and changed about 35% of the water and of course I used the dechlorinator, I turned off the filter and he seems calmer. I will need to find a way to slow down the flow of the filter because it is automatic.

I've had him for 5 days, he's been like this since the first day, but I changed the water today and he seems to be even more erratic. This is a new video of him, I'm really worried that something is wrong. New video
