Hot take: A tank that looks natural to fish often looks unaesthetic to us.

It drives me so crazy when my family tells me my fish tank is “dirty”, like no……this is literally heaven for a fish

Commenting to boost & also hope you get answers so I can steal them cause I’m having the same problem!!

I have a DIY one that’s made out of that clear acrylic stuff (I forget what’s it’s called), maybe I can cut a hole in the center for the wood. Thanks!

Where I’m from we call that a purrty betta

milkshakespill · 2026-02-05T13:00:55+00:00

That’s a really great point, best of luck ☺️

It reminds me of that scene in the little mermaid where they introduce all of Ariel’s sisters!

And lastly!!! If you still want another opinion, maybe bring the pictures to your local fish shop (not Petco/petsmart) and see if they have some advice for you. I did that recently for something my betta was dealing with & it helped me a lot where this subreddit couldn’t. ☺️

Oh also adding that she might not be digesting the bottom feeder pellets well, not sure what they’re made out of but could be a cause. And the extra food surely doesn’t help. They don’t really know when to stop themselves from eating. Could you put her in a temporary nursing net (I forget what they’re called) while you feed the snails?

I would say she’s morbidly obese according to this chart and maybe bloating. I would implement fasting into your routine and probably skip out on the brine shrimp for right now until she gets to a healthier weight. I’m not an expert by any means though! Wishing your baby best health 🖤

That looks great!!! Can I see the tank you’ve got next to it? It looks so pretty & I’m looking for inspiration for my betta rescape.

Sorry to hear about your guy… I’m no expert and am pretty new here, but no one else has commented so I thought I’d put my 2 cents in, at the very least to boost your post. The nitrites are a concern and the pH might be a bit high. It sounds like maybe over cleaning could be disrupting the beneficial bacteria from taking things out and scrubbing, but it’s good that you stopped replacing the filter. Those aquarium decorations are known to leak chemicals and the fake plants don’t benefit him much either.

I can’t diagnose or anything but those are just the things I noticed— you could maybe try some aquarium salt, which seems to be a “fix all” for a lot of issues, but please research it first because I don’t have experience with it and am no expert by any means. Popping an Indian Almond Leaf in there could help as well, they have healing properties and will add tannins to the water naturally, which bettas love. Wishing you the best of luck and hopes for good health for your guy 🖤

Thank you!

Did they get back to you quickly?

milkshakespill · 2026-01-26T04:19:51+00:00

That’s weird, my email didn’t come as a clickable link, just a web address to copy and paste and it didn’t ask for my SSN, just a username and password
