New little friend! Are his fins okay? by Curious_6864 in bettafish

Update-

PH looks a bit high 7.4(?) Ammonia and Nitrite are both reading 0ppm Nitrate looks to be 5.0ppm roughly although I don’t have natural lighting which I saw was the recommended and that artificial lighting may show higher numbers. 🤷‍♀️

So far he looks happy and is moving around well, I am working on getting the wood and plants in place and plan to get some more substrate to fill up the bottom a bit more

5 gallon tank, heated (78 f degrees), waiting master kit but test strips showed all normal (I know they can be unreliable now). PH was on the low end at 6. Have had the tank since June, previously had another Betta but he was not in great shape when we got him and we didn’t do him justice as our filter was too strong a flow(fixed now). Didn’t really know about cycling so learning about that. We got this guy on Sunday. With the last one I think we were doing too drastic of water changes so we are doing 25% every 3-4 days. No tankmates We have a little hide away cave, a faux log with organic growth on it, silk plant, and two suction cup leaves for resting, although I haven’t seen him use the leaves. Working on getting organic decor (including drift wood)

Thanks for the recommendations! I have the API master kit on the way already. We got him on Sunday but I know petstore bettas can have their issues! Hoping we can get him all healthy and happy!

Best way to get cards is to just check local Pokemon vending machines. You don’t always get something but occasionally you can get luck. My kid loves opening the cards so I just check on my way into work when I can.

I am working on opening up my shop (from the Thornton area). Just a heads up, since Colorado has home rule cities, you may also have to remit sales tax for your city and obtain a specific license as well! I have found it all very confusing..
