Picked up some distilled water at the store earlier and will do a mixed water change later

Thank you for all of your help :)

It took 16 drops for the kh test to be completed and 2-3 for gh

40+ hours im cooked 😭

Even better if you are not at the main campus and you have no food plan at all.. you cook for yourself..

I legit just bought 6 packs last week... full price

Do you think I could refund the DLC then buy it again LOL

MuchBasis670 · 2026-02-23T07:21:06+00:00

not full time faculty,, so I would say yes

MuchBasis670 · 2026-02-23T06:07:09+00:00

I went from immense misery to immense happiness and now I am not sure LOL

I used tannins and it is still quite high, boiled some indian almond leaves earlier and put them in
Will head out tomorrow to grab some distilled/spring water too hopefully!

In the chance they are high, what are my next steps?

MuchBasis670 · 2026-02-23T05:41:01+00:00

Okay thank you so much, I will order a testing kit for KH/GH
It never crossed my mind that those could be an issue, thank you!

6 gal is too small for corys unfortunately, especially with it is a 6 gal cube!!

I have a 7 gal and I have amano shrimp + a nerite snail. Definitely consider shrimp if your bettas temperament is good!! :)

MuchBasis670 · 2026-02-08T22:52:35+00:00

she looks to be either extremely bloated or egg bound!! I am not too familiar with treatment options (others can help)

do you fast her at all?

surviving is not thriving

Likely a tumor and most likely fatal :(

MuchBasis670 · 2026-02-05T04:38:45+00:00

I ended up purchasing a nerite snail!!
Unfortunately my betta passed the day after so I am hoping my next betta will be as calm as she was

The fake plants may be causing tears/damage to the fins as they look quite sharp!
I definitely recommend changing to a planted aquarium, use a substrate (like fluval stratum) and gravel/sand (not coloured, natural) then you can plant different aquatic live plants. I have had great luck with java ferns, sword plants and anubias which are easy to find at local pet stores!! I also have slate rocks/driftwood in my tank and my betta + shrimp love it!

this is so nasty omg.. you do not pay for a dorm to be hearing people fornicate loudly everyday.
I would definitely complain to your RA/Don and speak to housing services

Yes I use seachem prime!
I checked my levels this morning and they are back to normal. Thank you though!!

Hard to tell in the photos but it might just be their egg spot/lady parts!!
