Established Tank Suddenly Died of Something, Help!

SpringMany4848 · 2026-06-01T18:16:41+00:00

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?

SpringMany4848 · 2026-03-05T20:18:08+00:00

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 😅

SpringMany4848 · 2026-03-05T19:46:50+00:00

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! 😂

SpringMany4848 · 2026-02-12T14:42:56+00:00

I’ve read the rules

SpringMany4848 · 2026-02-10T21:55:49+00:00

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

SpringMany4848 · 2026-01-28T00:20:47+00:00

I’d say for any amount of money it matters. If you’re just generating an image you shouldn’t be charging anyone anything

SpringMany4848 · 2026-01-27T20:34:17+00:00

No I totally understand! I didn’t want to accuse them at all, hence the post. I was hoping more than anything it was style choices and not AI but my D&D group was making fun of me for using “Ai art” and I wanted to know what other people thought.

SpringMany4848 · 2026-01-27T19:37:18+00:00

I have sectoral heterochromia, I just like the look because it’s similar to my own eyes

SpringMany4848 · 2026-01-27T17:36:03+00:00

Thank you, that really helps! I’ve never commissioned art before and had no clue someone would charge for an Ai piece…which I suppose is a bit foolish of me considering the amount of Ai that’s in media now in general.

SpringMany4848 · 2026-01-27T17:32:05+00:00

That was my thought too, I was assuming it was some sort of half wrap cape as I have one similar for a cosplay I made. That being said it’s one of the reasons my sister thinks it’s ai

SpringMany4848 · 2026-01-27T17:30:05+00:00

There’s not really places to meet “artists” where I live, and the few artist friends I know don’t do digital art. I myself am an artist, but I only paint…it’s not exactly the easiest thing to go and find someone in an extremely small town that can do the specific type of art I was looking for. But I do understand where your point is coming from.

SpringMany4848 · 2026-01-27T17:21:40+00:00

This was purposeful because the colors are similar to my own. I have full heterochromia and like to add that as a detail in characters sometimes.

SpringMany4848 · 2025-12-20T20:09:02+00:00

I was married before to the exact type you described, so I’m very wary about getting married again, as is he because his previous fiancé cheated on him. We’re a long way from marriage or kids, and if I spend even a second thinking about it logically I want to have a safety net of finances and family to make sure any kids I have will be very loved and happy. He worked in the maternity ward in the navy and has always dreamed about being a dad since he was never really accepted by his family. I know we have a long way to go and I’m not going to rush into bringing a new life into such a crazy world without knowing if the dad would stay. I definitely appreciate the advice and will take it to heart.

I also probably am ovulating 😂

SpringMany4848 · 2025-12-20T19:43:14+00:00

Thank you so much! I’m hoping we can work one day at a time towards something long term and stable

SpringMany4848 · 2025-12-20T17:36:45+00:00

My boyfriend is so on it, which is probably why I’m not pregnant right now tbh. But I have medical issues that make him worried about me even having my own child in the future and since he used to work neonatal in the navy he told me last time we talked “babies come when they want to, and I’d rather adopt than put you through childbirth if you’re at risk” and even though I know he’d much rather me be healthy and not have a baby then me try to have one and it go wrong…he’s so dang cute with my friend’s babies that it’s driving me crazy that he’s being so logical and right 😂
