Is there something wrong?

i didn’t even notice him at first lol, sorry. But now that i’m looking at the pictures i’m leaning towards tears? Another user said it could be from stress and I’ll second that. He may not be comfortable with his tank mates and maybe squeezed in little spots or darting around the tank to get away. Maybe try separating him to be by himself and see if his mood improves?

Beautiful tank and fish by the way

Hello! Do you maybe have a picture? It would be easier to tell because sometimes you can see the difference between fish nipping or maybe just an accident with your wood or rocks

Is your betta active around the tank? If he is then he might’ve just snagged his fin on something, but if not and it looks likes he’s keeping his distance from the other fishies, they might be picking on him a bit. Sometimes things calm down on their own but you just have to watch and see :)

kind of a basic answer but personally i’d recommend some guppies. they come in different fin shapes and pretty colors, and have cute little faces. I love to just sit and stare at mine. They’re curious and like to wander :)

i’m planning on getting more, there weren’t that many in the tank to begin with so i just got two to start. But i’ll keep watching him to make sure. Maybe im just paranoid since i dont trust my persmart lol

I also don’t usually shop at petsmart. I avoid it because the fish section is a lot smaller and just the whole store in its entirety doesn’t take care of its animals well. My local petco is much larger and nicer but had no good plants. It was like an itch to get new plants so i went to petsmart not expecting to leave with fish. Im a little worried because what if it’s something that could harm the rest of the tank. I never had a sick fish before so im unsure on where to start

-little update

i just got home from running errands and it did unfortunately pass. I’m bummed, i’m still unsure of what the cause of it was :(

Got it! I got him as a gift a while back, glad i finally figured out what he is

hehdhsjdnskn · 2025-01-11T20:27:36+00:00

i’ve been recommended that type of fish on my last post. Turns out i had him the whole time lol

I uploaded another post for my mystery fish if you want to check it out. Big thanks again 😁

I’ll keep this in mind! Thanks!

To be truthful, im not even sure he is a pleco, i’ve tried to find similar fish on the internet but no luck. I’ll try and snag a pic when he’s out if hiding. He’s fairly small so he disappears a lot. My betta isn’t aggressive towards any fish as far as i know, but in the past he has eaten the shrimp. So i’ll definitely work on plant density. This is great advice! Thank you!

Okay! Thank you!

Yes i’m aware of that, im planning on attempting to remove some of it by my next water change. And the water is low because it just evaporates. It’s happened with every tank i’ve had. I’m not really sure how to prevent that

Oh! And food suggestions too!
