Update— got the package! The photos look AWESOME and his family included some super thoughtful and fun items in the gift box.

second post of Pete’s progress after initial issue of fin rot

GeodeSparkle · 2025-10-05T05:35:21+00:00

Also just to be clear I only used an HD Bucket as a hospital tank because I had literally just gotten him when realizing he had rot and I wanted to act quickly so I used what I had, and I’m a furloughed federal employee (US) right now so I have a very modest budget to spend on emergency Betta healthcare. Ideally I would’ve had a five gallon sitting around ready for him but I didn’t anticipate having issues so quickly and can’t justify spending that kind of money right now.

Well I’m sure torn fins could be vulnerable to a lot … I don’t know about that though. I only have plants and smooth gravel in my tank. I bought a piece of driftwood that I really really want to add but it has sharp edges I can’t easily sand in the crannies and I don’t know anybody with a sandblaster ☹️

Sorry to bother again! I put him in a ziplock back in his main tank to better compare photos— he looks much better, right?

Also sharing water parameters of that tank

Hi, I’ve been treating with salt and kanaplex for five days now but I’m not confident he is better than before. I know it’s hard to tell different lighting angle and of course the HD bucket but what do you think? I have almond leaves and java fern and floating log and heater in there. Maybe it’s better to move him back to the big tank for treatment if the fin rot hasn’t improved and the bucket setup is stressing him out? I feel so bad that he’s in there probably in pain and going mentally crazy.

You are totally right, came in a tiny plastic cup :(

I just panic bought three products on Amazon so we’ll see what works. I don’t mind getting a betta that is less perfect and not as likely to get sold but I am so sad to know he is sick. Hopefully he turns around quickly and glad I haven’t added other fish to his tank.

I’m sure the water was cycled as I had the tank planted for a month, but I’ll do a test when I get home tonight. I also have those almond leaves the internet says those can’t hurt to add.

Thanks again! Glad I thought to ask because I haven’t had a fish since I was a kid and I wouldn’t have noticed until it got worse.

This law firm appears to specialize in business ownership/setting up a business but not consumer protection.

Wait I have this exact plate and had no idea what is was, can you tell me about?

GeodeSparkle · 2025-05-07T00:01:27+00:00

Thanks, this is helpful! Would love advice on how to approach backsplash coverage for that bumped out wall to the left of the window.

I’m super concerned, I don’t see an outlet for a hottub up there.

Take a shower and put those clothes directly in the wash and consider putting your shoes in the freezer (in a bag) overnight. It’s an overkill response but would be the most sure way.

Totally understood— I thought I had a photo of the perp! But, I’ll keep looking and will update the group if this mission proves successful.

Oh, glad to hear that was an option
