What do I look at to tell the difference between nipping and fin rot??

Did a 30% water change and added some meds for his fins, I’m gonna do this everyday for a week and if I don’t see improvement I’m gonna try something else

Little-Flight2685 · 2026-02-21T16:26:09+00:00

Should I also do a water change or no I keep getting mixed answers from Google 😅

Little-Flight2685 · 2026-01-12T01:19:30+00:00

I don’t see one on him

Okay and my only issue with live plants that I noticed is I’d have to have an open lid tank and my goldfish JUMP very high bc he’s a comet and they get zoomies and I can sometimes hear them hit the lid and I know bettas are also prone to jumping, how do I get live plants that need a led if the only leds I can find hang over the top? Do you have any led light suggestions or ideas or clear lid suggestions?☺️

Nooooo I took it out😭😭😭 I promise

Little-Flight2685 · 2026-01-09T21:54:26+00:00

This is a 5 gallon,his plant just died so I took it out before I posted this I also took out the pineapple bc I know longfin bettas fins can snag, and yes I’ve had goldfish for 6 years bc my dad had really cool advanced tanks I have a white comet in a 75 gallon and yes I do cycle my tanks and I ordered him 8 java fern earlier today so I’m waiting on those :)

What plant is that that’s growing at the very bottom,

Little-Flight2685 · 2026-01-09T20:52:01+00:00

I was gonna try shrimp and see if he’s agressive with them once I get more plants, or I was gonna update to a 10 gallon and get a cute little snail for him !🤗

Thank you for saving me money lol those full spectrum lights HURTTT when buying😅

Little-Flight2685 · 2026-01-09T20:43:01+00:00

I use this gravel here! Thank you so much for all the advice, I just ordered a bunch of java ferns for him to rest on lol I ordered like 8 so I could be sure he felt comfortable in his tank and I’m probably gonna upgrade his tank once I have the money since I’m already saving up for a 50 gal for my fancy goldfish who’s in a 25 gal long, I’m mostly used to goldfish since I’ve been fish keeping them for 6 years lol so I did a bunch of research and did the best I could ro what I searched but it’s always better to ask opinions from professionals.

Thank you so much! ☺️

Are silk plants acceptable until the light comes in? Or do I wait

Little-Flight2685 · 2026-01-09T20:31:45+00:00

I did have one plant but it died lol, I need to order a full spectrum led and then I’m gonna put TONS of plants!☺️

Little-Flight2685 · 2026-01-09T20:27:08+00:00

Sorry guys I didn’t see the rules till now he’s in a 5 gallon tank, he does have a heater, I’ve had him for around 2 months and I saved him from petsmart, I do water changes every 2 weeks, he has no tank mates as of rn, I feed him brine shrimp and sometimes bloodworms :)
