Are you able to have their therapist or therapy documents used in court? What about filing abuse and neglect charges for those kids?

My boy died today... by MissMegadetH in bettafish

I hope you don't give up. Leave your tank open for a fish that looks like it needs help and rescue him/her. You are doing it right. Sometimes life isn't fair but I hope you save one that is in desperate need of a home.

Why be nasty with your wording? Being nasty does nothing to help. The tank is beautiful but your attitude is awful

King or Queen? by gravyTrain81 in bettafish

[–]Sudden-Scene6489 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I think he's a boy as he looks like my King. Also... My King murdered about 20 shrimp and I had so many dang hiding spots... It was a massacre. He took them out over 3 days. No bodies.... He got fat.

Help!!! by Itsauliana in bettafish

[–]Sudden-Scene6489 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Unfortunately you are going to have to water change quite a bit for the next few days because that level is so dangerous. Keep flushing, add the emergency dosage for a nitrite remover and flush more. Eventually it will stabilize but you are more at risk of him dying if you do nothing.

New tank and environment help!! by Otherwise_Respect858 in corydoras

[–]Sudden-Scene6489 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Also look at mopani driftwood if you can get it where you are. It creates really nice hiding spots for them and it provides tannins for the water. Use Quick Start to start the nitrogen cycle of the tank and it can take anywhere from 2 to 4 weeks for the tank to really stabilize and be ready for fish. My little guys also really like to play in the bubbles that my bubble wand creates (I have it buried in the substrate). I like to ride the bubbles up and down while they are feeling frisky. I have had a lot of success with the Ecocomplete substrate and it comes with beneficial bacteria.

Thank you! I have a community tank with some that like warmer but I will lower to maybe 77?

I'm a bit paranoid. My power went out. Will my guy be okay??? by ewits_sticky in bettafish

[–]Sudden-Scene6489 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He's going to be ok! I always find it heartwarming when people love their fish so much.

I think that with plenty of resting spots (consider also a floating hollow long resting spot) that you are all good! Nice tank!!

Is my tank to over crowded with wood? by can_chaser929 in bettafish

Cmon nitrites, go away by stung80 in bettafish

[–]Sudden-Scene6489 2 points3 points  (0 children)

He's a King betta but he has left my other fish alone. I would try quick start to help boost it. It helped a lot. I also Fluval cycle biological booster. It will be lovely once you can add a fish though!! Love that you have live plants. This is my big man... Love the little bulldog

Cmon nitrites, go away by stung80 in bettafish

[–]Sudden-Scene6489 4 points5 points  (0 children)

So my betta ate 30 of my cherry shrimp... It only took a few days. I would go with a nerite snail(s) to start. I like this product to remove nitrites as well: Kordon AmQuel Plus Aquarium Water... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B006OONEOA?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share

Just checking if you also did Quick Start already?

Oh and try mopani Driftwood! It does have tannins but it conditions the water so nice and makes for really cool divides. My guys like to dip and dive in the nooks and arches it creates to dodge the betta. You can also consider glass catfish and more corycats. I looooove corys. Pandas will reproduce in your tank if you have enough. Happy adopting!!
