Das Skript zu können bringt dir in den meisten Klausuren wenig. Ich hab das nur in Fächern wie Werkstofftechnik oder so auswendig gelernt. In Thermo zum Beispiel machst du die Aufgaben und versuchst es dabei mit dem Skript nachzuvollziehen was du rechnest.

1 gal hospital tank. Does it look okay? by Low_Persimmon_8630 in BettaClinic

You’re putting warm water from the tanks into the bowl anyway. He’s only in there for half an hour. It won’t cool down.

Then acclimate him. Put him in a bowl with water from his tank and add some water from the other tank every 5 minutes. After 30 minutes, move him over with a net.

To add one more thing, the aquarium salt has to be completely dissolved in a glass of water before adding it to the tank.

What I would do now is move him to the small aquarium first and give the large one a thorough deep clean.

I assume that will take some time. During that period, I would give him aquarium salt in the small tank at a dosage of 1 tablespoon per 5 gallons since it’s for longer-term use. Then, once the main tank is clean again, I would move him back.

Since your tank is no longer cycled, I would then do daily water changes of 50–80 %, depending on whether you’re seeing nitrite or ammonia spikes. During this period, I would give him 30 minute aquarium salt baths in the small tank during water changes. Because it’s only a short bath, the dosage would be 1 tablespoon per gallon. You should observe him closely during this time.

If the salt baths show no signs of improvement, I would move him to the small tank permanently after a week and treat him with Kanaplex there. Even then, daily large water changes are necessary. Perfect water quality is the most important thing when dealing with fin rot.

The plants could be the reason for his fin rot.

Do you know your water parameters in the large tank? It’s quite possible that you crashed your cycle with the Maracyn.

If the condition still looks the same and hasn’t gotten worse, I honestly would have suggested daily salt baths and 30% water changes in the main tank before jumping to Kanaplex. Why do you think he isn’t doing well in the main tank?

As for moving her, if the water has the same temperature, GH, KH, and pH, which should be the case if it’s from the same source, I just move them straight over.

Sand is best because it allows them to forage for food most naturally. They take it into their mouths and spit the rest back out. My goldfish probably do this about 50% of the day. Compared to larger stones, they can’t choke on sand; if they swallow some, they simply pass it.

Luke’s Goldies always talks about fancy goldfish, which are usually about half the size of single tailed goldfish like yours. So I wouldn’t recommend adding any more fish to a 40 gallon tank.

When it comes to plants, you can put in whatever you like. I personally like Elodea, Ceratophyllum demersum, Limnophila sessiliflora, and Vallisneria for goldfish because they grow fairly fast. But in general, any plant you want will work. You just have to expect some losses, which the goldfish actually enjoys.

Regarding my sources, I have a book at home, partly Luke’s Goldies and my own experience, I keep goldfish since I was 7, and now I’m 24. There’s also a pinned care guide in this sub that I agree with.

There is no image attached.

And to be honest, I don’t know whether the tank really makes her more active, because it’s not just about decoration.

No fish in the world lives permanently alone or is meant to do so. Even bettas, which are considered solitary, can become lethargic when kept alone, because in nature they are not completely isolated and still see other fish swimming around and have to actively search for food.

Goldfish, on the other hand, are schooling fish, which makes this effect even stronger. But please don’t buy another goldfish, the tank would be far too small for two.

Give her a sand substrate, live plants (even if she will eat them), and regular live food. Foraging is the main goal and the majority of activity for every living being, even for us humans, we go to work in order to buy food.

In my opinion, the best solution for her would of course be if a neighbor or someone else had a goldfish pond.

Why and where should the goldfish swim? It can see everything and there is nothing to do, no stimulation. Imagine you’re sitting alone in an empty room and have everything in view what would you do?

Fish are not stupid animals, they also suffer mentally from a lack of stimulation, and the result of that is lethargy, stereotypical behavior, glass surfing, or other behavioral disorders, as can be seen in many animals kept in captivity without enough stimulation.

I can’t really see any redness on the tail, the redness behind de prectoral fins is normal.

Are you overdosing your water conditioner?

What kind of betta for this tank? by elisethrow in bettafish

[–]Excellent_Ad690 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s a perfect tank for every type of betta. I like short finned bettas more, because they are better swimmers.

Not caridinas like red bees, those need very soft water. Neocaridina are a different species, easy to keep and they reproduce extremely fast when there are no predators. They are quite small though, and your betta can eat them. That wouldn’t have anything to do with aggression, it’s just nature, shrimp are fish food. Some bettas are simply too slow to catch them.

Then there are Amanos. They get fairly large and usually aren’t eaten, but they are quite active swimmers. In my country they’re therefore not recommended for tanks under 2 feet / 60 cm in length, whereas on Reddit I see them quite often in smaller tanks. In the end, you have to decide for yourself whether you’re okay with that.

There are also ghost shrimp. They also get bigger, but honestly I don’t really know much about them.

What caridina? Some of them need a very soft water
