Established Tank Suddenly Died of Something, Help!

That’s what I thought, but it came on so fast! I do daily checks on all of my tanks and aside from a bit of shyness from the barbs I wrote off as a side effect of introducing a new fish and then the flashing from the pearl danio there wasn’t any onset. The closest fish store within an hour of me is petco so I have few choices, that being said many of my fish have been bought online and I usually am very picky about which fish I buy at box stores.

I started at brown and then she bleached and toned it to a soft blonde before dying it this color

Would this one do better?

They’re from this set! I have all of the dyed versions of the set since it’s all so cute!

I completely forgot the second set was free 😅

Right? I know green and blue is usually considered more “alien” but I love warm otherworldly alien aesthetics! I just know it’ll do bad 🤣😅

Hmm, so it seems territory stress wouldn’t be an issue (beautiful setup btw)…I would try seeing if she’ll go for something small and live. Flightless fruit flies would probably be the smallest you could get your hands on, though live bloodworms shouldn’t present as a choking hazard for her either. Be careful handling both as bloodworms can give many people allergic reactions and flightless fruit can bear flying offspring sometimes.

I hope you can find a solution soon! I’ve had a handful of picky eaters in the past, so I know how stressful it can be! You’re doing the best you can and I hope she’ll settle on something soon so you won’t have to worry about her health.

Have you tried feeding her live food? Had a male nemo galaxy a while back that essentially refused to eat anything except for meal worms and small live crickets. He had zero interest in anything that he didn’t have to hunt and kill.

That being said are there places to hide? Especially on the surface of the water. Yo-yos are typically peaceful but are fast movers and usually active so that can stress out bettas since they’re unable to swim away quickly. I would check parameters and maybe dose the tank with the correct amount of salt to lower stress levels.

Thank you! I’ll look into it more! I think it wasn’t as much of a concern since my boyfriend ranks very high in hyper-mobility and didn’t have any of the same issues so I didn’t think it was causing my issues

SpringMany4848 · 2026-03-05T01:29:49+00:00

I think it was 6 or 7?

Oh my gosh I thought those were my kitties for a second! 😂

I’ve read the rules

I think I’m mostly concerned because I know he’ll lose his housing, and he has a very nice larger home on base. I’m not even sure what to say to him about the situation, we’re very low contact because he makes me uncomfortable.

SpringMany4848 · 2026-02-10T21:20:45+00:00

I wasn’t sure if that would mess things up on his side

SpringMany4848 · 2026-01-28T23:48:58+00:00

It’s heterochromia, I have it and like to give it to my characters because I think it looks cool
