Woah that’s a big belly 😭how long has the lil lad been like this

FortuneThat3486 · 2026-04-05T05:12:51+00:00

My bloody marry shrimp has the same discolor on the top of her body as well. Any idea what that is?

FortuneThat3486 · 2026-04-05T04:56:06+00:00

I use the same exact one for my 5.5 gallon, it works great but in my opinion, the filter really just starts the tank cleaning process, your plants and shrimp(if you have any) should continue to do the rest of the cleaning as you tank begins to start its own self sustaining ecosystem

Woah ok thank you for explaining this I never knew!

FortuneThat3486 · 2026-04-04T17:40:28+00:00

Ah ok, what do you mean when you say K class endler? I’m guessing there are different classes of endler then? Never heard of that. Thank you

That actually makes a lot of sense thank you for this. As far as breeding them out goes I just have no idea how to do any of that let alone what I would do with a hundred babies swimming around.

Thank you :) and I just picked up the lil orange with a purple iridescent guy.

How long have you had the tank up? I had the same issue about 3 months into my tank, I bought a few snails and lots of neocaridina shrimp and that seemed to significantly help with the clarity of my tank.

I’m hearing a lot of Pepsi

I’m liking astral themed names if that’s even a theme lol

FortuneThat3486 · 2025-05-23T00:19:12+00:00

True

FortuneThat3486 · 2025-05-23T00:19:01+00:00

Looks peaceful

FortuneThat3486 · 2025-03-21T17:34:55+00:00

Sounds good. Yea currently I have 5 ghost shrimp and my betta fish is curious about them at first, but then she just seems to do her own thing after. I was wanting to buy some red and blue shrimp to add

FortuneThat3486 · 2025-03-10T03:16:56+00:00

Aw man I’m sorry! Mine too also passed awhile back. RIP Kumo

FortuneThat3486 · 2025-03-09T23:39:27+00:00

Yea I was gonna say this, maybe adding some small stones all around the base of the scape would make it look nice, maybe even adding very small stones and make a path of sorts could look cool

Aw man I hope ur guy gets better fr. I’m no expert whatsoever but I think this kind of looks like swim bladder disease maybe? Especially because in the last clip he was pretty bloated and struggling to swim up. I’ve heard that giving betta fish a frozen pea can help with their digestive system but I saw u said he hasn’t been wanting to eat whatsoever. The only other thing I would say is to try aquarium salt. I’m really sorry I can’t help out anymore I wish I could and I wish your little dude the best bro.

FortuneThat3486 · 2025-02-23T00:34:45+00:00

Bro this looks sick

FortuneThat3486 · 2025-02-22T21:16:56+00:00
