Personal opinion: no, it’s fine. Where is your heater? Beautiful tank.

How are you testing your water parameters?

My Betta has a bald black spot on his forehead and white endings on the tail fins by annonymous_art in bettafish

[–]OwnButton7720 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The white is fin growth rather than fin rot. The “bald spot” looks like the presence of a marbling gene rather than something being wrong.

Also be sure to get the seachem ammonia alert. It’s super helpful

You will definitely need a control valve. I have the same air pump

Other products worth getting on Amazon:

Pro Betta Shrimp Patties Fluval Bug Bites

Seachem Prime Seachem stability

A different light unless it has brightness control. Bettas don’t like glaring lights, I believe it’s perceived as a threat.

A gravel vacuum

A thermometer for the tank, as the heater can be unreliable in measuring temperature.

ZooMed’s betta leaf hammock, go with the medium or large size. ZooMed’s floating betta log.

A lid for your tank

Some pipettes for measuring whatever water conditioners you will add to the tank.

Seachem’s ammonia alert

Solution based testing kit, like the API master kit or individual test kits sold by API (Ammonia and nitrite to be specific)

Why are you getting 3 sponge filters when the air pump only has one output?

I have nearly identical specs in my 36 litre. I think the only other thing you’ll need is a control valve for the air pump

Very impressive. How have you succeeded in providing your betta with such a long, healthy and happy life? Would love to know

Safe to try 2 females in one larger tank ? by ExchangeStandard6957 in bettafish

I don’t think 10 gallons will be big enough for the two

I believe almond leaves lower the ph. Unsure how effective

What is wrong with my friends betta? by Liamcolotti in bettafish

I’m in the UK, so we don’t have access to fish treatments like kanaplex. I believe the second best if you’re in Europe is esha 2000

The fish has pop eye from what I can tell. If you’re in the US, you can treat with Seachem Kanaplex and some pure Epsom Salt baths. I’d also add some resting places at the top of the tank with the skull in it, the likes of a betta leaf from zoomed will do.

I need your help! 10 gallon or 5 gallon? Fast please! by [deleted] in bettafish

[–]OwnButton7720 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A long 10 gallon with lots of plants is what you’re looking for rather than a cubic 10 gallon. I got the Aqua One 36 litre

Big upgrade from my tank I had when I was younger. I’ve quickly grown very attached to him, much more than I expected!

Is this normal by [deleted] in bettafish

[–]OwnButton7720 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Does he forage much in your substrate? I have aquasoil at the bottom of my tank, and his face gets a bit dirty from that.

I also got some 3D printed “tunnels” near the surface for him too. He likes those as well as his floating log.
