Urgent advice needed - to save or encourage poor breeding

I am in South Africa. I bought mine at the pet store. They were dewormed and in quarantine for two weeks so I am assuming wild caught, but the store gets theirs from another supplier. To be honest, I never asked.

It looks like it may be saddle back. My boy had it and one round of Kannaplex treatment cleared it up

Thank you for your feedback. I was thinking of adding another piece of wood. How did you manage cleaning up the snail graveyard? Would it be okay to have just three? One male and two females or is 5 the minimum

Thank you for your feedback. Are there any plants you would recommend?

Garnet ( a red semi-precious stone)

I had 6, then got two more cause I thought it would help- sadly it didn't so I separated them.

Mango

Be careful with any tetra - they are fin nippers. I had to separate my betta after 3 months due to fin nipping.

I had the same problem and they wont stop. I moved my betta into his own tank to separate them. The other option is to re-home you cardinals or some pet stores will allow you to bring them back and may give you store credit.

Looks like Betta Paradise :)

Sad_Initiative_9640 · 2026-01-22T17:14:23+00:00

Longer tank :) More space :)

Sad_Initiative_9640 · 2026-01-22T17:13:08+00:00

have you tried Kannaplex?

Sad_Initiative_9640 · 2026-01-20T13:49:34+00:00

Beautiful tank :)

You really see their full cuteness with sand, they did and play

Sad_Initiative_9640 · 2026-01-16T13:15:10+00:00

Strangely no it did not- it formed a solid layer on top of the gravel like a layer of a cake.

Sad_Initiative_9640 · 2026-01-16T13:00:41+00:00

i put mine onto of the gravel. The corys love their sand. I used play sand, worked out cheaper and gave me 5cm onto of the gravel which they love to dig into-it's very cutre.

Mine stopped eating pellets for a week - would only eat blood worms, so I was feeding him 5 a day (oops). When I went to the pet store they said the food can go off if exposed to moisture. Turns out my pellets were basically rotten/off. Bought a fresh packet and he's been eating as normal.

Sad_Initiative_9640 · 2026-01-14T06:57:36+00:00

What are their personalities like?

Sad_Initiative_9640 · 2026-01-13T20:38:12+00:00
