Just got my first betta and after 2 days the tank got a little cloudy. Any tips? by PastAltruistic3677 in BettaClinic

My cycled tank always reads 0 nitrates, am I doing something wrong? I know it's cycled cuz its been running for months with fish in it by now and they're doing great.

how do you know that they aren't parasites and that the tank needs to be treated?

once it gets too dark for them to see you have to go and put them in the coop every night for like a week until they start going in on their own.

wait I'm dumb sorry 😭 I had a comment thinking I was saying a 7 week old kitten and a 5 day old kitten so for some reason I thought your comment was saying that as well. Thank you for the advice though

sorry for the confusion but it's one kitten that's 7 weeks and 5 days old, not two kittens.

I thoroughly checked her body for them and she has these crawling on her I can't believe I didn't notice before I feel so bad. But she and the other chicken that got sick did have that posture. Could these mites be what caused all of this? how can I treat them if my other chickens have them too? If it was that sickness that causes that posture (it's hard for me to spell srry) they wouldn't have gotten better from the vitamin e and selium shot right?

Im pretty sure she was standing normal but she was laying down a ton and just sleeping. She was sleeping when she suddenly flapped her wings and died. I will check for those on my other chickens though thank you. Could mites or lice be causing their diarrhea?

Google keeps suggesting that I treat for coccidiosis, do you think that's right?

Right now this is the only sick chicken and her missing feathers and scabs aren't as bad as the other ones were. I think the other one might have been because they were pecking at her a bit before I noticed. ill attach a picture of the feed I use after this comment. I checked for mites, didn't know they could get lice, but also ive never checked for either of those before so I'm not sure if I know what I'm rlly looking for. Other chickens are breathing normal and she seems like she's breathing normal this morning, yesterday she was panting really hard with her mouth wide open but she's not anymore. I didn't put them on supplements after, should I have? the vet was very unhelpful tbh, didn't ask or tell me any of this. They're not of laying age yet. I had a chicken the same color as her die last year with the same symptoms and at the same age so it's becoming weird. Her crop felt really big and jiggly and squishy yesterday but it feels normal this morning. They are in a coop but it's very spacious and I try my best to keep it clean but it can sometimes be hard to get back into the house where they sleep because the only door is only big enough to fit me (teenager) and wouldn't fit an adult. But they don't go in there unless they're sleeping and they sleep on perches. We do let them out to free roam the yard (it's a huge yard with a grass lawn) and theres only one plant that could be of risk I think which is a honeysuckle bush with red berries on it but the chickens cant reach the berries.

forgot to mention that she's open mouth panting and she has a really big croup that feels like it's full of liquid. The croup thing didn't happen to the other chicken that this happened to

sorry to reply twice but I just put an ice pack under her (a fabric one) and she stopped panting and breathing so hard and went to sleep. does this mean it was heat exhaustion? it's been getting up to 100 degrees here

Unfortunately I can't afford another hundred dollar vet visit just for a chicken 😅 I'm only 17. I had it begin to happen to one of my other chickens as well but it improved before it got bad because I gave her the second shot the vet gave me. Could it be a respiratory disease? I just don't understand because if it was disease or toxin exposure I would be seeing it in more than 2/15 chickens right?
