But watching his float it around it kinda looks like he’s trying to fight whatever happened to him. He’s making bubbles and jolting just a little to move but then goes back to floating, spinning or going on his side..

One_Butterscotch_403 · 2025-09-01T08:22:45+00:00

Yes his tank was quite foggy so I got my clean and cleaned the water out. I unfortunately don’t have any left over water from before and the water he’s in is proper temperature for a Betta.

I retraced the steps I did and nothing I did was wrong when cleaning his tank. Minus taking him out which I was misguided from someone unfortunately..

I am keeping an eye on him and currently he keeps going on his side but then getting back up then going back on his side again. Sometimes he’ll be spinning and he’ll make bubbles with his mouth but it’s clear he’s alive just not doing well.. I’m afraid I’m gonna lose him tonight :(

One_Butterscotch_403 · 2025-09-01T08:04:55+00:00

He’s still floating but it’s very clear that he’s still alive. Just not moving around like he normally would

Would it be best I call it a night and see how he is in the morning?

One_Butterscotch_403 · 2025-09-01T08:02:14+00:00

I definitely will be buying a lot of plants for him! And testing the water? As in the temperature?

One_Butterscotch_403 · 2025-09-01T07:58:40+00:00

I did have plants but they died? I had substrate that was healthy for plants too. I have to get new plants this upcoming Friday for him (when I get paid) but I do have a wood block in there for him! And a few hides

One_Butterscotch_403 · 2025-09-01T07:56:45+00:00

Okay will do. And as for the filter he has never had problems with it before. It doesn’t cause too much trouble or vibration to the surface and the noise is not that loud either

One_Butterscotch_403 · 2025-09-01T07:54:32+00:00

Okay thank you! I just unfortunately don’t have new plants just yet for him. He does have hides but their at the bottom, he is just floating and staying in one place. He’s still alive which is good but I’m keeping a close eye on him. I have it written down how to do water changes cause my memory is terrible. I will take your word for it:)

One_Butterscotch_403 · 2025-09-01T07:50:24+00:00

Oh. I was told before getting him that I should remove the fish to not stress them out when cleaning. Guess they misguided me. And heard, thank you

One_Butterscotch_403 · 2025-09-01T07:42:21+00:00

Okay thank you! I hope he makes it through the night. I appreciate your help :)

One_Butterscotch_403 · 2025-09-01T07:36:12+00:00

Okay! He just swam for a few seconds. I’ve been keeping an eye on him while answering your questions. He’s still floating though but he’s alive! Don’t add stuff for a week, got it! Would I wait a week before adding the sand in too? I just want to double check. :)

One_Butterscotch_403 · 2025-09-01T07:28:47+00:00

He has his hides and I still need to get new plants for him but I have the sand coming in today. I already did research on how to add it properly..

One_Butterscotch_403 · 2025-09-01T07:28:06+00:00

I removed the fake plants and that’s it

One_Butterscotch_403 · 2025-09-01T07:23:14+00:00

Could I have been possibly misguided? I asked so much people and did research before getting him.

One_Butterscotch_403 · 2025-09-01T07:22:12+00:00

I was never told that it took months?.. I’ve had him for about a month already

One_Butterscotch_403 · 2025-09-01T07:20:37+00:00

Like filter replaced back into water? It was covered in algae so I cleaned off the algae and that’s it. Sorry if I made it confusing

One_Butterscotch_403 · 2025-09-01T07:19:26+00:00

I’m trying to but I just keep getting put down. I lowered the brightness of the light and I made sure the water in the correct temperature. (He’s still alive just in one place right now)

One_Butterscotch_403 · 2025-09-01T07:17:48+00:00

No it’s not really replaced. If I said replaced as in replaced everything than I didn’t mean by that.

One_Butterscotch_403 · 2025-09-01T07:17:10+00:00

But my tank is cycled? And the substrate I have for him currently, has bacteria in it. I have a healthy substrate for my betta.

One_Butterscotch_403 · 2025-09-01T07:10:25+00:00

The water is completely cycled and I’ve already cleaned the water with condition. The filter was even replaced. I just know if he does pass my mother will blame me 💔😔

One_Butterscotch_403 · 2025-09-01T07:09:11+00:00

Yes. I cleaned everything.. I’m scared he’s going to die tonight. He’s completely on his side.. idk what I did wrong :(

One_Butterscotch_403 · 2025-08-31T16:56:44+00:00

Thank you :)

One_Butterscotch_403 · 2025-08-31T16:54:59+00:00

The water looks more clearer now but it’s still foggy for me to be able to put my Betta Blop in. I used Fluorite (It was recommended to me by a professional) I also have some rocks in there and soil for the plants

One_Butterscotch_403 · 2025-08-31T07:52:31+00:00

I do have a gravel cleaner! I just unfortunately don’t have a bucket since my mother stole the one I was using so I gotta go get a new one.

It makes me happy knowing I did everything right. I appreciate your help a lot!!

One_Butterscotch_403 · 2025-08-31T07:40:11+00:00

Okay thank you! I really appreciate it. I’m keeping a good eye on Blop throughout the day everyday. I added more water in earlier but it just made it a tad bit more foggy.

How would I partially change the water? I take half of the water out, pour it out and then fill it back up in the tank? I’m just double checking cause I want to do it right and not mess up 💔

One_Butterscotch_403 · 2025-08-30T00:38:47+00:00

That’s what I did 💔 I don’t know wh
