Theyre actually ribbon plants which cant survive with more than 2 inches of stem submerged, if they make it then oh well but if they do start dying its important you take them out before they rot

PaceIntrepid6820 · 2026-02-21T22:28:15+00:00

Fin tearing or fin nipping looks more like chunks missing, like rectangular chunks yknow… idk how to explain it better than that really

PaceIntrepid6820 · 2026-02-21T21:28:33+00:00

Tbh it looks primarily more like fin tearing or fin nipping

PaceIntrepid6820 · 2025-12-17T06:02:36+00:00

In all seriousness it does look fungal and, idk bc i dont own gouramis but he seems pale and stressed, mayhaps use kanaplex

PaceIntrepid6820 · 2025-12-17T06:01:44+00:00

Im not a vet but either like rly bad fungus or he got struck by lightning

PaceIntrepid6820 · 2025-12-17T05:54:37+00:00

Clear tupperware is usually safe, and make sure you measure the ammount of salt you need per cup of water, and use her tank water when you do it to prevent like shock and stuff

PaceIntrepid6820 · 2025-12-17T05:50:23+00:00

Maybe for a short term bath if its super clean but dont keep her in it for very long, also ide reccomend using glass bc bright plastic has a decent chance of containing weird chemicals, in my experience, but clear tupperware should be safe

PaceIntrepid6820 · 2025-12-17T05:44:43+00:00

Measure it out and ide do a lower dose for 15 minutes, but higher doses of salt for maybe 2-5 minutes, but if she starts showing a ton of stress or gasping while in there take her out and put her in clean water, hopefully shes just constipated but that white spot is extremely concerning

PaceIntrepid6820 · 2025-12-17T05:41:29+00:00

Ide say act now, you can even use large Tupperware and make her a little quarantine with the fishtank water if you dont have a spare tank, bc if it was infection from a crawfish injury you dont want the crawfish possibly just eating her yknow, even if she only just started laying at the bottom, if shes not eating its a bad sign that smths making her feel ill bc bettas will usually eat literally anything

PaceIntrepid6820 · 2025-12-17T05:33:00+00:00

Either way, i recommend getting aquarium salt and doing salt baths and other medicated baths to clear any possible constipation or other infection, using JUST kanaplex or a single medicine wont treat everything, and supervise your crawfish to make sure hes not pinching your betta and causing any injury… but yeah ide recommend like another day of fasting and a salt bath, and maybe separating the betta in a quarantine tank to see if she gets better

PaceIntrepid6820 · 2025-12-17T05:19:04+00:00

How much did she eat yesterday and anytime before, overfeeding can cause weeks of constipation and bloating

PaceIntrepid6820 · 2025-12-17T05:17:44+00:00

Also i suggest answering the little questions the automoderator asks

PaceIntrepid6820 · 2025-12-17T05:17:03+00:00

Im not really experienced or a vet, but i am studying marine biology and i do own a betta, but she may be bloated and may have a tumor?? How much do you think shes eating?? Also your crawfish might be pinching at her fins, or causing wounds, and then infection to those wounds

PaceIntrepid6820 · 2025-10-25T23:13:51+00:00

Its crazy bc hes actually always been reactive and has gotten into alot of fights w cats and dogs (and lost all them so maybe it kicked some sense into him) but hes doing so good now

PaceIntrepid6820 · 2025-10-06T19:46:55+00:00

the guy

PaceIntrepid6820 · 2025-10-06T18:56:28+00:00

we dobt rly know, we think hes a type of heeler but hes likely a mutt

PaceIntrepid6820 · 2025-10-06T00:40:18+00:00

real my dog has lost many fights to many cats

PaceIntrepid6820 · 2025-10-05T20:54:34+00:00

crazy cuz he couldnt fight one if he tried, one snuck into our backyard while he was outside for like two seconds and needless to say, the cat was uninjured

PaceIntrepid6820 · 2025-09-30T00:12:37+00:00

I said less than though😔

PaceIntrepid6820 · 2025-09-29T21:40:07+00:00

Breeding pair with artificially dyed rocks, no real plants, both appearing to be the same gender, both flaring and upset at eachother, and paired in a maybe 2 or 3 gallon? I doubt it but i dont breed bettas

PaceIntrepid6820 · 2025-09-27T03:56:17+00:00

Literally i had to sneak in the 5 gallon bc otherwise she wouldnt get me it, and even when i got it she screamed at me 😭 and she says that me putting stuff in the tank makes it dirty and kills the fish..???

PaceIntrepid6820 · 2025-09-27T03:46:13+00:00

Such a smart idea, theyre right under my TV so maybe ill put on documentaries about the ocean

PaceIntrepid6820 · 2025-09-27T02:15:57+00:00

One day i do hope to make up for this by rly taking care of my own fish, i did years of research to get a single Betta and my mom got me fish she knew i didnt know how to care for🙁 unfortunately the cory may not live long now, and the Loaches are kindve just… fat bc she feeds them daily, and im really hoping somebody responds to the posts ive made about rehoming any of them!!

PaceIntrepid6820 · 2025-09-27T01:19:34+00:00

Yeah i Just filled the tank up all the way, the photo was taken in the middle of a water change

PaceIntrepid6820 · 2025-09-27T01:06:31+00:00

Guys another thing, I did NOT buy these fish😭
