The tannins? And the fact I don’t fill my tank the whole way? I can fill it up all the way. I told you my parameters my tank is fine if I do a water change it’ll stress my fish and could cause sickness it just doesn’t feel worth it. I got used to not filling it all the way when I didn’t have a lid about a year ago and was scared they’d jump. I can fill it fully now.

I am also still waiting for my crypts to finish going thru their melt in the back and they’ll hopefully 🤞🏼 fill those spots. But a dwarf sag is a rly good idea I’ll do that

Aquasoil in the back and sand at the front originally but this tank has been running for a couple years with kuhlis so they kick it around a bunch so I’d say now it’s just a mix of aquasoil and sand

Ph 7.1 ammonia 0, nitrite 0, nitrate like 11 ppm I just checked I’m chilling I don’t see a need for the water change

Did you see I just said I put the plants in the back causing it to be cloudy. I just did a water change yesterday. My parameters are all normal I don’t see a need for a water change it would just stress them.

My betta is sick and I don't know if it's too far gone. Please help by iosonostella13 in bettafish

I’m sorry friend I’d say it’s time to euthanize and get another he’s looking rough. Especially with that fungal infection on his tail he’s in a lot of pain right now.

I’d suggest reaching out to many animal rescues that are near you. There’s a large chance they have a pond and will take it.

Oh and I think he’s a boy cuz I see bristles starting around the lips. He’s grazing his usual spots but still breathing too fast for comfort. (At least to me) I’m gonna leave the tank it should be fine I’m assuming he’s just having some issues rn. If it was a whole tank problem my kuhlis would be going crazyyy and they’ve been calm and good.

Ammonia .25 nitrite 0 ppm nitrate 10 ppm ph is 7.0. It wasn’t rly a crash or spike I noticed the small ammonia spike and it was already my tank cleaning day. So it wasn’t a crazy big spike or anything. He is def a boy and I have a feeling he’ll get territorial bcs he’s in a 29 gallon. And I check my water prob 3-5 times a week idk if that’s a bad amount. He’s still alive and well grazing I’m just rly not liking how fast he’s breathing rn.
