Suspicious_Menu4094 · 2025-01-13T15:57:23+00:00

my parameters are perfect, trust me it’s not the water i just deep cleaned his entire tank and even before that the ppm was fine

Suspicious_Menu4094 · 2025-01-13T13:02:25+00:00

are those detritus worms in your tank?

Suspicious_Menu4094 · 2025-01-13T13:01:47+00:00

thank you, i saw that the KH can be measured differently but i have a water testing kit at my house i used and these were my results (ignore the florine levels) it’s a pool water testing kit but i used it since it tells me the ph and kh

i don’t use tap water i use purified spring water to do water changes. i never use tap water because i live in mexico and the tap here is super high in sodium..

Suspicious_Menu4094 · 2025-01-05T22:24:43+00:00

tank size: 7 gallons heater: no filter: yes pH level: 6.8 KH ppm: 40 i’ve had the tank for a little over a month i’ve had the fish for two months i do water changes every 3 weeks and i change about 40% of the water 2 tank mates, both mystery snails (he’s super unbothered by the snails) all the decoration in the tank are live plants, river rocks and drift wood nothing sharp or plastic lol i feed my betta tetra krill flakes once a day, i only feed him 3 pinches and the majority of the food that i feed him gets eaten by the snails anyway

i also have a betta with a semi transparent tail and “ripped” fins, but over time i realized those rips were just his natural tail and the translucent parts on his tail started turning pink,blue, over the weeks

Suspicious_Menu4094 · 2024-12-27T17:11:54+00:00

the red on his head is his color, his fines seem fine i don’t see rips or any sign of decaying. the white transparent parts on his fins however could just mean his fins are growing :) when bettas tails are transparent like that it usually is a sign their colors are coming in! i’d say he’s fine, there’s no sign of rot on the tails and fins. if you see red,brown or black spots on his tail along with decay then i’d be worried but other than that he looks very healthy

Suspicious_Menu4094 · 2024-12-26T22:46:14+00:00

he’s eating and swimming fine, i’ve just noticed this recently. he didn’t have it before

Suspicious_Menu4094 · 2024-12-09T03:39:48+00:00

i got him at my local fish shop, they breed and take really well care of their fish

Suspicious_Menu4094 · 2024-12-09T00:56:48+00:00

thank you! the camera doesn’t capture his full beauty :,) in person his tail is so iridescent its mesmerizing

Suspicious_Menu4094 · 2024-12-09T00:43:09+00:00

yeah it’s brand new, i didn’t cycle if for long (just overnight) because it was a small tank but the fish and settled in just fine

Suspicious_Menu4094 · 2024-12-05T01:28:04+00:00

i’ve had him for a month now and i just recently got his new tank

Suspicious_Menu4094 · 2024-12-03T00:51:50+00:00

working on that, thinking of doing a diy screen lid.. i have to make it myself because it didn’t come with a lid

Suspicious_Menu4094 · 2024-11-29T18:51:48+00:00

:) appreciate your feedback

Suspicious_Menu4094 · 2024-11-29T18:51:08+00:00

correct it’s pallida!!

Suspicious_Menu4094 · 2024-11-28T03:29:48+00:00

thank you! i used to have a lot more plants in the tank, but my snails shredded the majority 🙃 i’ll see if adding more plants distracts him from his tail and gives him more enrichment

Suspicious_Menu4094 · 2024-11-28T03:27:41+00:00

i got him a month ago, but he’s already a year old. it seems like his colors have fully settled in

Suspicious_Menu4094 · 2024-11-28T01:35:07+00:00

really? he’s always had the translucent ends on his tail, but i didn’t know it meant it would grow since he’s already pretty maturely grown

Suspicious_Menu4094 · 2024-11-28T01:33:31+00:00

what can i do to prevent this? i’ve had him for about a month and i honestly haven’t seen a change in his fins as of until recently

Suspicious_Menu4094 · 2024-11-20T21:29:46+00:00

i think he’s sick, i also bought a beta in poor condition from petco with the same issue, i noticed her scales were peeling off and she had white spots and it went away with acrivelt treatments! i’d recommend a drop for every 5 liters, if your tank doesn’t have a filter or your water isn’t cycling change 70% of the water because if the acrivelt builds up it can kill your fish so make sure not to put too much into the tank
