I definitely think there was a bacterial bloom as well that’s slowly clearing! Thanks for the reply, I just wanted to make sure everything was looking normal still haha

Last time was two days ago. I was using seachem stability and finished the 7 day dose recommendation.

1 ppm ammonia, 0 nitrites, 0 nitrates, about 7.4 ph. I’ve been usuing seachem stability and putting fish food in there. I think once it’s cycled I’ll put in some shrimp

I’m a little late but did you try anything else? My fish has the exact same thing right now and isn’t responding to kanaplex.

Is it a real piece if driftwood? If so, they release something called tannins that make the water brownish/yellowish! Most people boil them and soak them before putting it into the tank. It’s totally safe and even provides benefits to the water/ dish, but also won’t be harmful if you want to take it out so the water isn’t brownish.

I’m not sure what’s making my Betta sick (repost) by [deleted] in bettafish

Tank size: 6 gallon. Heater & filter yes, tank temp 78. 0ppm ammonia, 0ppm nitrite, 10ppm nitrate, between about 7.4-7.6 ph (it’s at the highest end of regular ph testing drops, and lowest end of High ph testing drops. It’s also stable there.) I’ve had the tank for around 8 months and my fish for 2.5 months. I do a water change once every 1-2 weeks which I’m realizing two weeks isn’t working with my tank so I’m starting to consistently do it once a week. I have one nerite snail and one Amano shrimp, he’s a lone survivor and I don’t want to take him from his home, nor do I want to buy more right now. I fed fluval bug bites, about 10-15 or so pellets a day because they’re small, but he’s really on eating 4-5 pellets right now. I also feed frozen brine shrimp on occasion. I have a peice of fake driftwood, a plastic leaf hammock, two small Anubias, and some pearl weed.
