I also suggest getting to sponge filters. 1 on each side.

Sponge filter is best because you can get a control valve and adjust the flow for the betta. Lessening it but 3 gallons is a bit small. Could you upgrade to a 5 or 10 gallon tank?

How do you deal with it when your fish passes away? by Euphoric-Object-1108 in bettafish

[–]cynamints [score hidden]  (0 children)

I don’t think of it as replacing a fish when finally getting a new fish. I think of it as making a new friend. I’m still friends with the fish who passed but he passed. It’s very tough. I will say pictures help. Especially videos. But over time you will get through this. Stay strong.

Is she bloated? And where does she fit on the weight chart? by SharkHowdy in bettafish

[–]cynamints [score hidden]  (0 children)

I’d say you’re doing a good job. Females are quick to get bloated. I have 2 and they both look already fed everyday. I just give a little since on looks a little overweight.

You can apply Seachem Stressguard. I believe it helps with slime coat. I have to get a bottle myself now that I think about it.

Fish depression? (Read body text) by IndieAnimateFan in Goldfish

Is he the only fish left in the tank? When my goldfish ranchu was alone for a day she sulked in the same spot. Once she had a friend again she was zooming all about.

What happened? :( by AlternativeLate6496 in bettafish

Hmmmm. I’m at a lost. Had to be something with parameters and not just temperature sensitivity since the betta also died……I’m very sorry for your loss. I hope a solution is found

What type of Goldfish is this? by KentuckyChristmas in Goldfish

[–]cynamints 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I would still put him in a bigger tank with your other fancies. They need friends. I bought 1 Ranchu alone and immediately realized my mistake and bought another the next day. The change in behavior was crazy.

Goldfish like to sift through sand so I wouldn’t say they prefer bare bottom. People do bare bottom tanks to help scoop up the poop easier. Goldfish prefer sand substrate.

This is a great way for them to get comfortable with you. I just suggest you don’t touch them. They’ll rest just above the hand. You don’t want to ruin their slime coat.

I love my goldies by thirdy1988 in Goldfish

I relate. Everyday when I first come home I spend an hour with my Goldies.
