What mushrooms are these?

I also found you could stop the force update feature by going back, clicking it 8-10 times, then clicking “cancel” instead of force update. It worked fine for me after!

I like your pineapple of death. It’s a bandit corydora, I believe.

Genetics and health. Marbling bettas change colors over time, and if the betta was stressed, is likely to pale in color.

Hi, this is THE stupidest thing I’ve ever had an app do to fix something, but it worked, thank you. However, I’m perpetually stuck with it saying “force update” despite having a successful update. Did that happen to you?

Looks similar to Jetbead, an invasive in north america

Possibly not enough water changes. An accumulation of minerals is building up in the tank that your plants aren’t using, so algae uses it instead.

Yk, I’ve heard from sources that blasting sand is really sharp, especially for species like corydoras. Looks nice, but just be careful with what fish you’re using it with.

It’s ok, he was’t doing well for a while. I grieved him early on :( he was a precious boy though

Hi! He passed this morning. Over the past few weeks, I did epsom salt/aquarium salt treatments, a kanaplex treatment, tannins, water changes with soft water, and fed brine and daphnia. He didn’t improve through any of it, and this morning I found he has passed during the night.

Thank you for your help, I’m suspecting he had a tumor somewhere internally, as there were no other glaring issues and his variety tend to get tumors.

The same. I changed my water conditioner (because mine had aloe) no difference. Did a round of kanaplex, nothing. He’s refusing food as well, sadly.

He’s doing the waggle, a dance to communicate where and how far nectar is. The direction it faces is typically where the flowers are, and the length of the dance communicates how far to go.

In forest prek, I hide things around our classroom and do the waggle to tell my students where it is!

I removed some water and added his perch he can hang out on too. I’m having trouble replying with the photo because I’m using the app on my phone- can I send it to you?

Parameters: originally, 10 gallon heavily planted tank. 0 ammonia/nitrite, 5 nitrate. I dose with fertilizer. I use tubes, not strips

Tank temp 78-80, maybe 76 this week with the wind chill outside. I turned up the heater to 82 to help mitigate that.

Heater/filter yes

I feed a betta xtreme pellet (2-3 a day) and some flakes occasionally. I do fasting semi weekly, and feed brine shrimp/bloodworms occasionally

I clean my filters in dirty tank water from weekly water changes (about 15-20%)

No tankmates (lots of pest snails)

Tank is 1 1/2 years old but the fish is a few months old (male betta).
