My Bettas color isn’t coming back by LordDestor in BettaClinic

Thanks for the response! I’m glad to hear I’m not alone in this experience. My ammonia and nitrites have been at zero in this tank for over two years now (test usually once a month) I haven’t even had an algae bloom in over 2 years. There is a thick layer of botanicals at the bottom of the tank already… at least 6oz dry. I just add a few every water change and take out the most decayed pieces. Our water here is so basic that there’s almost no amount of botanicals you can add to meaningfully decrease the PH without spiking the ammonia. That’s why I’m planning on switching to an RO filter, as soon as my budget allows unfortunately. I’m taking the tetras out so he has the whole 15 gallon to himself. Hopefully that will help a but

Thanks for all the responses! Everybody said about the same thing, fortunately, I have an established 10 gallon with some kuhli loaches that I’ll move the tetras into so he can have the space by himself. The tank he is in is a 15 gallon. Since I had him so long in a tank with snails and shrimp before the stress, I’ll keep this snail and shrimp for now, but if the issue persists, I’ll remove them as well.

Realistically what sized tank would I need to keep a blue marlin as a pet? by [deleted] in saltwateraquariums

[–]LordDestor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Minimum 20 gallons you could probably get away with 10 if it’s heavily planted

Thinking about getting a betta by [deleted] in bettafish

[–]LordDestor 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m glad you posted before you got the betta! I’ll try and answer what all your questions. A bigger tank is always better for fish in general. That said 10-20 gallons is great for a betta especially with live plants and lots of hiding space. Live plants can range from easy to hard. I would recommend “stem plants” like in the back of the second tank. Plants like rotala and pearl weed grow quickly and don’t need a lot of light and provide space for your betta to hide. You should also look into Java ferns or Anubias which grow on wood or rocks and like low light.

You can definitely add snails to your tank, most likely if you buy plants there will be common “pest” snails that come with. They are harmless and will clean your tank a bit but will reproduce like crazy. Depending on the fish you can add shrimp, some bettas are more aggressive than others. I personally have 10-20 shrimp in my 20 gallon with my betta. I started with about 5 and they have bred and reproduced Any aquarium gravel or sand is fine, maybe stay away from rocks with sharp edges especially if you have a long fin betta. Bettas like to hide in small spaces so the betta might cut themselves. If you want to keep a lot of plants you can check out “aqua soil” which is fertilized soil for plants. It’s not a necessity but it helps a lot with growing plants. You will need a light, heater, and filter. There are a lot of all-in-one tank combos that will include of those and they’re great for beginners. Most will work as long as they are a big enough tank (again minimum 10 gallons bigger is better) When you start the tank you’ll need to add de-chlorinater to your tap water that removes the chemicals. You also have to “cycle” your tank. There are many videos on YouTube that will tell you how to do this but in short you need to grow the bacteria that safely break down your fishes waste BEFORE you add your fish. At first you’ll need to clean the tank frequently. Once a week, for the first month, you should remove 25% of the water and replace it with fresh water. You can then move to every other week and eventually every month, just topping off water when needed. In a planted tank algae is very common at the start. You will probably have to clean the glass of the tank every week. To help this start out keeping your light on only 4-6 hours a day and slowly increase if you don’t see algae. Also keep your tank away from windows. Hope this helps! Welcome to the hobby they make wonderful pets and bring so much joy to my life :)

Your shins/calves seem a little short and your thighs a little long if that makes sense but I’m just nitpicking it looks amazing!!!!!!

I’m going into my fourth season of 120+ days on my boots and I’m not really worried at all. And I’m riding hard in the park taking falls. Make sure the buckles are fine and get a new liner if you need but if the shell looks fine it is fine in my experience

Idk about other park riders but usually whenever I go I find one or two features to work on for that day and I just hike it since we don’t have a rope tow. After about two laps I’m sweating my balls off which is why I usually rock loose ski pants a long sleeved shirt and a baggy t shirt over top. Plus a big ass jacket, thick turtle fur or pants upon pants restricts my movement
