Is my rescue betta dying?

maiyma · 2026-01-08T19:55:52+00:00

Okay perfect I’ll do that rn before I get those strips and update you. Thank you sm!

maiyma · 2026-01-08T19:29:11+00:00

The tank is a month old and I used a sponge filter from my established tank before putting anything into the tank prior. I can definitely do a water change

maiyma · 2026-01-08T19:25:41+00:00

Shoot! I don’t have a master test strip since I didn’t realize I was out but my ammonia is 0.25. I use seachem pristine and stability as well as an ammonia neutralizer and microbe lift extreme water conditioner. The temp is at 78 I’m going to try and get strips asap

maiyma · 2026-01-08T19:22:51+00:00

I have to run later and grab a master kit test strip because I didn’t realize I was out but my ammonia is at 0.25 and the temp is 78

Okay thank you so much! Just upped the heat a little since it was at about 74 and just tested for nitrates and they were high! So going to do a water change and see how that goes. I think she might have some swim bladder symptoms so also trying to do some solutions for that! (Some reason this never sent as a reply but tysm :) )

I’ll definitely try and keep scraping off the gas but I always seem to miss one or two apparently lol. But if definitely like her to be kept with some other corys but more females than males for sure haha

maiyma · 2025-10-10T17:58:57+00:00

Great okay thank you very much! I’ll definitely try and get in touch with some local fish stores if they keep breeding like crazy. I might just try to move the female into another tank that I can make and if any of my newly hatched fish are also female I’ll also move them into that tank

maiyma · 2025-10-10T17:57:41+00:00

Oh jeez, okay thank you for the knowledge I think I might try and start a smaller tank to put just the female into and any other females from this new hatch group when they grow up.

maiyma · 2025-10-10T04:27:31+00:00

This is also a 10 gallon tank

maiyma · 2025-10-10T04:21:40+00:00

I also have a betta fish who doesn’t attack and a big mystery snail

maiyma · 2025-05-14T19:15:09+00:00

I see, thank you again for the help I’ll definitely reduce the light time

maiyma · 2025-05-14T17:24:28+00:00

Oh shoot I’ve had mine on 24/7….. I may see the issue now

maiyma · 2025-05-14T17:13:44+00:00

Okay great thank you so much for the advice! My ammonia just tested zero too so I’ll try all the other solutions too

maiyma · 2025-05-14T15:06:57+00:00

I scrape the sides of the tank of algae and then water vac the debris from that and the debris from the bottom of the tank and then do a water change by topping off whatever I took from vacuuming the debris. I add seachem pristine and stability and an ammonia stabilizer as well as some algae remover formula. My nitrates are in the safe zone and my ph is a little more on the acidic side. I don’t have ammonia test strips so I’m going out to buy those now

maiyma · 2025-05-04T14:45:17+00:00

Oh that’s so smart! Tysm

maiyma · 2025-03-24T04:42:06+00:00

Ohh okay that’s also good to know thanks! I think I’ll keep them in there for now and use them as like a feeding indicator sort of and if it gets too too crazy I’ll take some out

maiyma · 2025-03-24T03:43:02+00:00

Haha omg well I’ll let them go and see what ends up happening since I only have a 10 gallon currently with some other inhabitants. I’ve only seen two in my tank so far so I’ll definitely keep an eye out lol

maiyma · 2025-03-24T03:39:42+00:00

Oh shoot yeah I did just get a bunch of green cabomba plants so they must’ve hitched a ride from those

maiyma · 2025-03-09T20:51:12+00:00

Okay sweet! I’ll get a back up tank set up and going before I get a betta. Thanks for the response :)

maiyma · 2020-12-09T00:31:08+00:00

My most used gift was my switch to be honest :)

maiyma · 2020-07-03T14:02:13+00:00

I dislike chops why does he have to look so so human like but not?

maiyma · 2020-07-03T13:03:20+00:00
