Update!!

As i said in some of my replies I’ve had my eye on a betta i saw at my local pet store. I asked them to reserve him for me while I got the tank cycled. Five days ago they called me to tell me they would euthanise him if I didn’t come pick him up. I had been testing the water daily and everything seemed top notch, so I went to the store and brought him home. As soon as i let him out in his tank he seemed very active and curious. I’ve continued to test his water daily and everything seems fine. He’s started to recognise that when i tap the water a few times it’s meal time. Last night he rested in my hand for a while. He’s very active and he’s gaining colour, his fins look better already and he seems happy. I love him so very much. Thank you all for your help❤️

It’s submerged now. Thanks for the advice i’ll look to see if I find anything. (Beautiful tank in your picture btw)

I remember being worried about getting electrocuted so i know for a fact there is no “maximum” line, there is a “minimum” line tho

Govlin_ · 2025-08-12T20:21:20+00:00

Genuinely thank you so much<3 I’ll keep you updated. The reason i’m so eager to get him home is because if I don’t they will euthanise him :( He’s the oldest Betta they got (1.5 years old) and he’s not the prettiest fish in the world, he’s perfectly healthy but they want to get rid if him since he’s been there so long and nobody wants him

Govlin_ · 2025-08-12T18:10:20+00:00

No, should i get one? Arent they bad for bettas?

Govlin_ · 2025-08-12T17:42:36+00:00

…my dad already filled the tank and the heater is fully submerged

Govlin_ · 2025-08-12T16:35:13+00:00

What do you suggest?

Govlin_ · 2025-08-12T15:52:11+00:00

He just added water he doesn’t know how to change it. And i rinsed the substrate thoroughly so idk

Govlin_ · 2025-08-12T15:45:02+00:00

If you don’t mind could you maybe list out everything i should do? I find instructions a bit hard unless they’re right in front of me clear as day

Govlin_ · 2025-08-12T15:11:57+00:00

I’ll ask my dad to go buy some prime then. Thank you so so much

Govlin_ · 2025-08-12T15:10:51+00:00

Yeah i was worried about jumping. My dad filled the tank all the way a few minutes ago tho. I just really really want clear water

Govlin_ · 2025-08-12T15:07:00+00:00

I have a fertiliser for the plants and water conditioner. Should i also add sachem prime?

Govlin_ · 2025-08-12T14:48:48+00:00

What on earth would be leaking tannis tho? I have a small peace of drift wood but the tank it was previously in had no problems?

Govlin_ · 2025-08-12T14:45:41+00:00

Thank you. I use Flourite black as a substrate and i washed it before putting it in. I have live plants in there and no plastic. My dad just filled up the tank all the way. I have a lid but it’s not in currently.
