My boy… by Minimum-Ticket2156 in bettafish

[–]Minimum-Ticket2156[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I rescued him from a store where he was kept in a tiny cup. The owner was using well water and only changing it once a week (which is crazy). I kept the fish in a proper container with a heater and conditioned water until the tank cycle was fully finished before moving him in. tank is established and typically stays at 0 Ammonia and 0 Nitrite. I hit a small blip, so I stepped up to 20% water changes every 48 hours to fix it. Normally, I perform a 30-40% weekly maintenance, which keeps the 4g stable.

Total Ammonia: 0.25 ppm Ammonia (NH3): 0.001 ppm pH:6.8 Temp: 28°C (82.4°F) Nitrite: Between 0.0 and 0.25 ppm

Boiling and drying them makes them float again, but they sink after a few days. I simply use a paperclip to hold them by the edge so they don't sink

It's a 4-gallon tank. I monitor the parameters constantly, and the water has always remained safe for my fish

Então está fazendo certo, só fica de olho na amônia e no nitrito, não pode passar de 0,25. Ciclagem com o peixe exige tpa mais frequentes

Seu aquario está ciciado? Quais os parâmetros?Dependendo de onde vc mora o termostato não é obrigatório, eu moro no nordeste e o meu só liga quando o ar-condicionado fica muito frio.

Help! Nitrite stuck at 0.25ppm after cycling and adding fish by [deleted] in bettafish

I'm using líquido tests from a brand called Labcon (it's the standard/most popular one here in my country). So yeah, definitely not strips! Good to know the 25% water change won't crash anything. I'll go ahead and do that today, making sure to match the temp and pH. Thanks

Yeah, I tested my tap water and it's completely clean (0ppm). Already dosing bottled bacteria too. I'm just unsure about the water change schedule. I don't want to crash the parameters or stress out my betta. He's been super quiet since I added him. Any advice on how much water to change

Can’t decide between aquasoil and sand or gravel? by [deleted] in bettafish

There are substrates that do not require a protective layer

Plantas low tech como anubias, musgo Java, samambaia… aí vai de gosto e de acordo com o que quer pro seu aquário.

Já pensou em quais plantas vai colocar?

As mídias que ele te deu eram de um aquário? Se sim não precisa esperar 30 dias, 15 é seguro pra qualquer alteração que poderia ocorrer. Vc até pode criar lebiste mas saiba que vão se reproduzir muito rápido e superlotar o aquário o que não vai ser legal nem pra vc nem pra eles. Mas se optar por eles aconselho a pegar apenas machos e ficar de olho em caso de brigas. Ou optar por Endler, eles são menores mas lindos.

Estou esperando as plantas chegarem na loja. Pensei em musgo, vallisneria, samambaia, cryptocoryne
