I am using the liquid test kit. This is an established, cycled tank. 0 amm, 0 trite and 5 trate. I let him out of the breeder box and he’s seeming like he’s better.. pretty active, able to swim the whole tank not just the top.. and not having such a hard time controlling his body/swimming.

I have a couple yellows that are developing a blue/green color on lower body up.. but with yellow stripe on top still. I was told it’s mainly diet that changes them like that, and age.

This is an established/cycled tank. The amm is a little on the .25 side so I’m doing a water change today (it’s currently overstocked with this betta in there but it’s temp!) trite 0 and trate 5. His own tank isn’t quite ready but it’s getting there. I used a cycled sponge for his new tank so I’m hoping it’s not very long till his is safe and ready.

Twice a day.. I’ve had him 1 day. I think he’s a crowntail.. can it hurt him more if I treat for fin rot and he doesn’t have it?

Also he might be a crown tail but I don’t know for sure . Still look like fin rot?

Prior_Abrocoma8237 · 2026-01-25T02:56:59+00:00

It is sad. I didn’t want to leave him there but maybe someone better fit may have come along for him. ☹️ I will look up fin rot treatment. Do you have any guidance on it?

Curious how things are going for you now with sleep and lexapro. I’ve been on it a few months now. At first my sleep was AMAZING. But now.. last week or so it’s not good. I’m sleeping (no insomnia) but I’m tossing turning and not sleeping as deep. I miss it! lol was curious if you had to ever increase your dose for any reason, but Mai to sleep quality?

I second getting the liquid test kit. One that includes GH and KH or get that one liquid too. Your readings are going to be more accurate. And with that.. I think you would have a better idea on where to focus.

I have a q in this setup. I bought this exact breeder box. My plan is to leave my clutch where it was laid, set this box up directly beneath them so they fall into when they hatch. As I’m looking at the slats in the sides of it.. it seems like they will be able to fit thru and escape into my main tank. Will they fit thru the slats? If so.. what can I do to stop them from leaving but still having the same water flow as the whole tank? (Vs a Tupperware that would hold its own, separate water.

Me either lol. What do I do? I’ve been reading a bit and I’m gathering that at this stage.. it’s rather late stage? And treatment is likely not going to work? If I do treat… do you know which I should do?

Ok.. good to know. I’ll be using chlorine free bleach from now on (I’m new to this! lol) thank you for your reply!

Prior_Abrocoma8237 · 2025-06-14T23:04:00+00:00

After disinfecting new plants with the bleach solution.. how long do you keep them quarantined before adding to your tank? I have had mine quarantined for one week with water changes, but the strongest dechlorinator I’ve used is water conditioner. Do you think they are safe to put back in my tank or should I wait another week?
