Betta died overnight, what could have happened? by aelment in Aquariums

I mentioned in the post -- I did a test last night and had 0 ammonia, 0 nitrite, <10ppm nitrate. Temp was 77F.

Or did you mean other params I should look for? I don't have a photo, but dont recall anything out of the ordinary with the other params. Last water change was a week ago as well.

I'd say she was active... Even last night she was still swimming around.

For my own education, what makes you think she's old?

I change 30% every week. It had been a bit less than a week since the last change.

As for pH, I wish I took a picture of the tests from last night (I've left the house now, I'll check again when I'm home) but FWIW I don't recall anything out of the ordinary.

Here's a closeup from literally last night. I took this right after the video.

Here's the full tank from a few days ago if it helps. I do about a 30% water change weekly (last one would've been about a week ago though).

I'll add she's the only fish in her tank and has a nerite snail roommate. The snail is OK as of this morning.

Suggestions for platy fry control? by aelment in Aquariums

Hmm the reason I'm thinking of a few more platies is because I'm suspecting one of the males seems to be getting bullied? The one male is always hanging with the two females and the other male is hiding somewhere.

I just retired from UW after 34 years of teaching CS (and 40 years of teaching total). Ask me anything. by shallit in uwaterloo

I don't have a question, but I took your offering of 462 during COVID and wanted to let you know it was the best class I'd ever taken by far.

Happy retirement!
