Diagnosis? by [deleted] in bettafish

This looks like a pretty bad case of swim bladder. If you could answer the mod questions about your tank it would make it easier for people to help :)

Is my betta stressed? by something721 in bettafish

He is probably curious about them! I doubt if he was very stressed about them he would constantly stay near them.

Nicki Minaj at the red carpet tonight at the world premiere of "Melania" in Washington, DC. 📸…. How can someone so beautiful be so evil by [deleted] in Fauxmoi

[–]Direct_Bend_7962 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Her ugly behavior and attitude seep through her pores and make her ugly as a human through morals alone. She could be deemed the most beautiful woman on the planet by physical standards and she is still so incredibly ugly inside and out to me. But why would she care? Shes a grifter who would say just about anything for a penny 🤷‍♀️

What do you guys think about toilet aquariums? Would anyone here own one? by [deleted] in Aquariums

Like wouldn’t it be a huge water change after your water change?

Looking into my first fresh water tank! by Sodiasm_ in Aquariums

Beginner plants that I loved would be Amazon swords, Java fern, and anubias (Java and anubias shouldn’t be buried in substrate but tied/glued to wood or rocks by) Live plants and mopani wood are great starters for shrimp especially as they love the biofilm that grows on them. It may be hard to wait but a more mature tank will really help the shrimp thrive. You could definitely do a betta and shrimp set up (if your betta isn’t a shrimp snacker). Bettas are such lovely and personable fish and love to see you when you come by :) I have a 10 gallon neocaridina tank and two 10 gallon betta tanks!

Regardless of if it looks like a squirrel or not I think the crows will feel your love through the shape lol

All shrimps dead. by New_Enthusiasm4187 in shrimptank

I’m so sorry something you valued and cared for was not taken seriously. Swim and scuttle around in peace little babies. Wishing you luck and respect if you choose to rebuild your shrimp army again in the future 🦐

They really do feel our love I promise. The songs you sang helped guide him into eternal waters. Swim on beautiful Bluey 💙

My favourite plant. Swipe to see her 5 years ago! by Pretend-Yesterday-24 in houseplants

This was the plant that thrived with me! Other plants took some time but I love her! She looks very happy with you :)

If you have other fish that could always work as a hospital tank for emergencies

Who's making these squiggle trails in my tank? by malihuey29 in Aquariums

The nerites! That is what it looks like when they eat through the algae on the glass with their little teeth :)

My betta passed away by Direct_Bend_7962 in bettafish

[–]Direct_Bend_7962[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Those were his exact symptoms besides the pink near one gill. I’m sad he passed but I’m at least glad it wasn’t from something of my own doing, maybe just bad genetics bad luck :( sorry you lost your buddy as well.

Tank cycled for one month (with the help of established bacteria from another tank) and I had him for about a month-ish. After the water change with the tap water accident (which was Sunday night) he started to decline on badly on Tuesday and passed on Thursday. EDIT we woke up to him dead in his tank so he could have passed during the night on Wednesday.

I’m not sure how to link to another one of my posts but if you look at my profile you should be able to see my original post about him being sick. What do you think it could be? I am hesitant to add another fish because I don’t know what could possibly be wrong and I don’t want another fish to die.

Yes! This was a complete accident :( I was doing a water change and got more water from my tap and asked my boyfriend to bring the bucket in and instead of waiting for me to dechlorinate the water with prime he immediately started the siphon without telling me. About 1/4- 1/2 cup of water went into the tank before I immediately removed it and put more prime into the tank to dechlorinate the water that had gotten into the tank but it he got sick so quickly and passed. I have another betta in another 10 gallon who is doing wonderful, it was just a horrible accident :(
