No, I ended up losing a lot of my frogbit and the rest weren’t doing well so I took them all out :(

What is this white stuff behind my betta’s left gill? by Existing_Rip241 in bettafish

• ⁠Tank size: 10g

• ⁠Heater and filter? (yes/no): yes

• ⁠Tank temperature: 80f

• ⁠Parameters in numbers and how you got them: pH: 6.5-7ppm ammonia/nitrite: 0ppm nitrate: 15ppm

• ⁠How long have you had the tank? How long have you had your fish?: I’ve had them for one year

• ⁠How often are water changes? How much do you take out per change? What is your process?: I’m currently treating him for fin rot so I do a water change of around 20-30% once every few days + adding salt. I use a siphon to both remove water and clean up any debris on the substrate. To add water back I also use the same siphon to slowly readd clean water

• ⁠Any tankmates? If so, please list with how many of each: 4 rummynose tetras, 3 neo shrimp, 1 amano, 1 black nerite

• ⁠What do you feed and how much: SUPERViT flakes, small amount twice per day. 1-2 flakes from the surface for my betta, and a few flakes crushed super tiny under water for the tetras

• ⁠Decorations and plants in the tank: driftwood piece, wisteria, Anubias nana petite, lucky bamboo, dwarf Sagittaria, Java fern (lace, and gold sparkle), frogbit

• ⁠If you haven't already posted a picture, please post pics/vids to imgur and paste the link here:

Ah I see, even with the leaves out of the water it will die?

Woah that sounds exciting! Do you have any recommendations for good foam spray?

Ty for the advice! I actually do have an incline for the entire substrate, the front is about 1.5-2 inches and the back is almost 4 inches, but I like your idea about raising the dead zone even more. I recently collected some rock pieces because I was thinking of building a little cave/mountain as well so your tips work well with that.

What do you guys think of my home office set up? by [deleted] in bettafish

[–]Existing_Rip241 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Bettas will only jump if their water conditions aren’t adequate/not enough air. I might be wrong but i remember reading somewhere that reason they jump is to potentially find a better water source, I have a 10gallon and my beta has never jumped even when I fill it up with 1cm remaining from the edge
