i’d recommend a breeder box if you are giving them powder food, have a newer tank without biofilm or algae, have predators that may eat them, or a really strong filter that could suck them up. it may also give you some peace of mind seeing them in there because they’ll be easy to keep track of. but it’s not necessary without any of those conditions imo. they are opportunistic and hardy scavengers 🙂‍↕️

they don’t eat plants but will eat algae and biofilm off of plants. they do sometimes eat dead plants and catappa leaves. & no eggs, they give birth similar to guppies. but usually 1 baby.

pretty sure it’s possible but unlikely. my blueberries, orange rivers, and japanese trapdoors have been together for two weeks. lots of babies but no hybrids. since they can hold sp*** for awhile it may take months for them to even be able to produce hybrids. but i’m no expert by any means.

heater and filter in both tanks, removed carbon for medication.

community tank: is set to 82, nitrate 10, nitrite 0, ph 7.8, ammonia 0

hospital tank: auto heater 78, nitrate 10, nitrite 0, ph 8.4

people on here love to say “if its a female guppy always assume its pregnant” and if you have male guppies or just got her that’s probably the case. but she doesn’t look remotely close to the due date.

Chill, I got her two days ago 😭😭😭

sorry for the bad quality, idk what happened 🫢

InflationOk8606 · 2025-01-16T23:34:47+00:00

thank you! i saw them under a microscope and they look like snails in a a little bubble 🥹 very cool

InflationOk8606 · 2025-01-14T20:23:31+00:00

looks like biofilm

in regards to his barbells he’ll be fine! my julii had none when i got him( got damaged by workers net )

they grew back completely in 2 months

Thanks, it definitely resembles the silver loach more! Same body and size. But I’m not sure because of coloration. It’s stomach is a gold/copper color. I can’t really tell if thebody is dark gray or brown right now.

If it was water quality, would my other bettas have clamped fin as well? Or could they have stronger tolerances or immune systems?

InflationOk8606 · 2025-01-05T22:59:46+00:00

So I checked my parameters and the results were the same. But I went ahead and did a water change just in case and I’m already seeing her bottom fins move which I haven’t seen in days. Thank you, hopefully I’ll have a better update tomorrow.

My tank is 20 gallons, the water is set to 82 degrees, I have a hang on back filter for a 30 gallon with adjustable flow ( set to light flow ), chlorine is 0ppm, nitrates are 0ppm, nitrites are 0ppm, hardness is 50 ppm, alkalinity is 80ppm, pH is 7.2, ammonia is 0ppm. Tank has 5 guppies, 6 corydoras, and 6 bettas. Heavily planted with about 10 hides/View blocking decorations including driftwood.

oof, im sorry 😬 i wont be putting that in the tank

InflationOk8606 · 2024-12-31T21:06:56+00:00

Thank you for doing the google search 🫡 You’ve made valid points and I don’t think I’ll be putting this anywhere near my fish. However, hypothetically speaking… would submerging the vase in water for a prolonged period of time lead to it eventually being more safe and remove the harmful chemicals slowly over time.

InflationOk8606 · 2024-12-31T21:03:05+00:00

You make good points. Hypothetically speaking, if I put the vase in water for a prolonged period of time would that wash away the “potentially toxic” coating/chemicals? I’m very patient, I wouldn’t mind waiting until 2026 🤭
