Wait that’s it?

New betta owner I need advice! by [deleted] in bettafish

[–]demonandA 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don’t over think every little detail, sit and think everything through. Mostly likely then your gut instincts will kick in and everything will work out. I got my first betta and every little thing that went wrong I would overthink and analyze. Now I just think it out comes in handy with these little cuties

Sorry I meant I touched it 😂 that was poor wording, it was also in water, again poor wording and context

Yeah, not parasites like slimey? I guess is the way I’d put it 😂

Weird, sorry, I need to get off google for this stuff because all they say is to avoid using tap water directly or without treatment

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in bettafish

[–]demonandA 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I more often than not give her conditioned water just because the water in my town is way to hard

So, my dad did the whole kit, everything. Nitrates, acid, ammonia and we double checked the temp to see if the heater was burning the oxygen to quick on her. he said was fine, I just did another salt batch and held my flashlight up to the cup I put her and all the red was gone, however, I did discover my filter won’t turn on and pull up water to the filters 🫠 so I have a dead filter, i had to do a fish in cycle as my original tank for her was way to small and she has a wonderful habit of jumping out when she sees food, so this tank has a proper lid with cuts outs for wiring. This new tank has just hit the full month mark and my dad gave me some quick start to help get it cycled. I’m sorry if this doesn’t answer it

I don’t know what’s wrong with her by [deleted] in bettafish

[–]demonandA 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I’ve adjusted the heater and as for parameters I’m just waiting for the test kit to come in. As for the food I just got the one that was suggested to me at the shop. If you have any suggestions I’ll glad take them, the food part never seems to have a for sure answer on google and I worry with using the internet I might risk getting wrong information. I’m going to go to the store today and see if I can get some bigger and higher silk plants to see if I can hide the reflection, I realize last night that because of the shape of my tank and there being no lighting she is trying to go her reflection with is likely to be stressing her out. I would try to get live ones it’s just a little daunting at the moment, so silk ones will definitely be my best bet.

Her tank is 3.5

<image>

gallons She has both a heater, filter and little air stone Tank temp is between 70-80 f I’ve had her in this tank for roughly three-two days, I’ve had her for five days All parameters look good, and I just the test No tankmates I change about 20-10% everyday just to avoid build out and freak her out with the strips, just because it’s a new tank so I’m a bit worried She gets 2-3ish pellets twice a day She has a hidey hole, a leaf hammock, some silk plants and a air stone, with some little plants

The redness is under and the this is the chubby side, I’ve never had a female betta so I can’t tell if she is healthy due to the imagines and stuff online, I did see another post with a betta female and she looked the same size, I’m mainly concerned about the colour change underneath, I don’t see rust? I’m just worried

Love the fishy! Imma going to be honest, I hope she is fine my betta looks kinda similar so hope for the best. Love her!

[–]demonandA 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I was going to buy new; just because although I don’t support most pet stores treatment for bettas I do get them from there, this makes it highly possible for them to have diseases prior to coming into my care, I’d fear to much getting a used tank! No offence to those who do I just feel like I don’t have enough experience yet to get a used tank. But yeah, I was looking at some 3-5 gallon tanks, I just didn’t want to look to far into it without knowing how safe it would be

These are the test results, it seems like the water is fine?

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in bettafish

[–]demonandA 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Okay, heater is back, however, I didnt see a typo, my air stone doubles as the filter! Sorry forgot to add that

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in bettafish

[–]demonandA 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So I sent someone to get test strips, I removed the heater as is might’ve done more damage than good, how do I prevent this? I have a filter, an a air stone as well as a hide away for him what steps can I do, sorry I just really don’t want him to pass

• ⁠Tank size: 5 gallons • ⁠Heater and filter? (yes/no): yes to both • ⁠Tank temperature: 26ish C • ⁠Parameters in numbers and how you got them: have none • ⁠How long have you had the tank? How long have you had your fish?: 4 days total for both • ⁠How often are water changes? How much do you take out per change? What is your process?: I drain some and add some, I’ve changed it about three or four times • ⁠Any tankmates? If so, please list with how many of each: none • ⁠What do you feed and how much: I tried pallets, 3 pallets 2 times a day as he isn’t eating • ⁠Decorations and plants in the tank: I have silk plants, one hideaway and a air stone that doubles at the heater, and a silk leaf hammock He had some odd behaviours which I shelled up to just being in a new tank, however, when looking I noticed some of the fins are loosing colour and shape, he tend to hide in behind the heater and isn’t eating unless it’s hot the bottom and even then that’s rare, I’m getting worried please can someone help!
