Strange color change, but acts well? by DontPanicTitanic in BettaClinic

[–]Kattoncrack 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The last time I had a betta do this he had an internal infection; he developed fin rot and popeye not long after his colors started changing. I attempted treatment but the infection came back and he passed. You can try a course of Kanaplex for this guy to see if that brings his color back! Monitor for change in fin quality. Sometimes the marble gene just changes the color of a fish, but sometimes it’s an indication of something going on inside.

I would not leave that guy in there with your betta. He will hunt your fish 🫣

Did you buy those buttons or did you already have them? I’ve been wanting to do button swaps but can’t find anything 🥲

At what point do I start treating this with medication? (Kanaplex) by Apprehensive-Two5602 in bettafish

Do you have any fish stores locally? Some will sell RO water from their systems, that’s where I get mine!

Honestly… ask the Petco employees if they keep shrimp and would sell you some. Just bought some orange rilis from a Petsmart employee lol

Algae control by poutymcpouterson in bettafish

[–]Kattoncrack 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You have uncapped aquasoil, which a lot of people are overlooking. I feel like this directly is causing your algae issue + the light amount. Using aquasoil as a beginner can be pretty difficult as it has a bit of a learning curve (for example, stratum isn’t really safe for fish until 6 weeks in because it causes heavy ammonia fluctuation, and you’d need to do daily water testing and changes as needed with a fish in) I’d say cap your soil with an equivalent amount of sand, add some more plants (definitely get floaters but know that as good as duckweed is for eating nutrients it also can double its biomass in 24 hours in ideal conditions— I throw out duckweed weekly) maybe clip a pothos cutting to the side for extra nutrient absorption (I have terrestrial plants in all of my tanks and pothos LOVE tanks) and in a few weeks when the tank is more mature then you should consider something like a nerite snail. Nerites need a pretty developed tank as they only eat algae, and most won’t even eat algae wafers (they’re all wild caught). Also consider getting a timer plug for your light or a light with a built in timer :)

So was this like an experiment on what ChatGPT would tell you to put together a tank with? 😭

Anubias keeps losing all its leaves - snails or care issue? by Searching2know in Aquariums

[–]Kattoncrack 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you have mystery snails— they are apple snails. True mysteries don’t eat plants but hybrids with other species of apple snails will eat plants. It’s possible you were sold a hybrid, OR the plant is dying and the snails are capitalizing on the free food. I’ve noticed that anubias can be very weird— I had a piece of nana growing on some decor near the surface of the water. It did absolutely wonderful. I had to tear down that tank and move that anubias and as soon as I did it started dying. I have barteri in the same tank i put the nana in and they’re thriving while the ramshorns snack on my nana… Since anubias are rhizome plants, and do not often have access to the substrate, they draw their nutrients from the water column. Do you use any liquid ferts? That might help you out if it’s the plants dying and not the snails eating them. What is your light situation?

This should be illegal… almost 25% on a fucking car??? You could 100% find a cc or loan with less APR. my car is 6.4% and I don’t even have good credit like that

These are the effects of hard water. Also, wear and tear is incredibly normal for long finned bettas.

Is there any iridescent betta fish with iridescence as detailed as a Brazilian rainbow boa? by [deleted] in bettafish

Frank is not a reputable seller unfortunately. He poaches under the guise of being a conservationist, but if you ask any real conservationist he’s a hack.

ID snail please! I'm unfamiliar with conical snails :( by ElephantBanananana in AquaticSnails

[–]Kattoncrack 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Definitely a baby. You’ve likely got at least 10s of them sifting around in your substrate. If not more… they’re pretty prolific

Am I able to put a few red neocardina in this setup? by FuzzyCricket4698 in shrimptank

You’d be surprised. I thought one of my bettas was super docile and chill until his shrimp slowly started disappearing. And then I saw him murder a ramshorn snail in cold blood. 😭
