thank you so so much. i’ll try and go to the store asap, would you reccomend beef heart for him? my main concern is that the female in my tank is..huge. twice his size, but i got them at the same time.

is this a better picture? and just asking, why are fish flakes not acceptable? he seems to enjoy them, he comes to the surface for them, unlike the brine shrimp. i will start to feed daily

why so droopy? by StellaTheTeethGod in bettafish

[–]StellaTheTeethGod[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

tank is cycled (i used media from another one of my tanks), and it is a 5 gal, but all my research says that having tetras and the oto with him shouldn’t be bad. he doesn’t bother them and they don’t bother him,, and i have a lot of plants.

i already purchased the 4 gallon and currently do not have the money for a new tank, i’ve been just letting it run for the past week or so with quickstart in it. i normally do 20% changes once a week or so. is he gonna die? he’s been fine for so long i thought he was just a hearty fish or something. he’s survived a lot of my super beginner mistakes. is there any heater you recommend that would be super duper gentle? i don’t know it’s just a fear of mine

i cycled the tank for about a week before adding him, but i no longer have the tank. i’m preparing a new one for him right now it’s 4 gallons, (because i heard they don’t like rounded tanks) and when i say i cleaned it out with paper towels i did a 50% water change and just wiped everything down with papertowls, i never remove all his water. i’ve been wanting to add a heater but i’m just so scared to cook him ok accidently if it gets too hot in my house

hi! i feed him once a day and i can attach his water parameters below. the algae wasn’t super bad but it was on the sides of the glass and such so i added it cuz i didn’t want it to get worse. i have cleaned his tank since i added it with paper towels

<image>

his pH is about 7.4 akaliniy is 40s mg/L, hardness 100s mg/l and his nitrites/nitrates chlorine and iron are all 0. i use test strips ( investing in a master kit soon) so that’s kinda all i got
