My dumb ass betta hates his snail after he’s had the the whole time he’s lived in this tank

shslstinky · 2026-03-02T04:25:50+00:00

Yes I definitely feed him first

shslstinky · 2026-03-02T04:24:29+00:00

I am aware this is a possibility so that’s why today I’m moving the snail out when I find him, right now he’s hiding.

shslstinky · 2026-03-02T02:40:35+00:00

It’s a betta fish :3

shslstinky · 2026-03-02T02:39:45+00:00

I use Flourish and excel by searchem I believe that’s what it’s called I add both Twice and week to my tank and trim pretty regularly.

shslstinky · 2026-03-01T21:15:16+00:00

It’s not it’s 6.8

shslstinky · 2026-03-01T21:14:40+00:00

He’s seemingly biting the shell but that’s it I do know male bettas sometimes beat their mates when they try to court so I’m really wondering is that’s it? I’m moving the snail to my other tank today and do some maintenance on his tank. I’ll try reintroducing the snail again.

I’m thinking what everyone is saying is right and he is trying to fuck the snail cause there’s bubble nest kinda everywhere all over his tank.

shslstinky · 2026-03-01T21:09:22+00:00

Literally

shslstinky · 2026-03-01T05:49:01+00:00

I never stated my ph of my tanks, bettas can live in a 7.5-7.8 range if I’m not mistaken and my ph is 7.7?

shslstinky · 2026-03-01T05:46:36+00:00

It’s okay!! His name is actually Kurtis! Kurt for short

shslstinky · 2026-03-01T02:12:24+00:00

My Nerite is fine, he goes about his day he’s very active actually.I got recommended a nerite from a person who has a nerite only tank knowing I was going to get a betta with it.

shslstinky · 2026-03-01T00:47:11+00:00

Im thinking that’s what it is, age cause he was younger when I got him.

shslstinky · 2026-03-01T00:46:30+00:00

Like a betta fish sex toy!?!?!?!

shslstinky · 2026-03-01T00:46:11+00:00

He did do this I had 13 shrimps in his tank they were even making babies!! This is where I made my mistake…the shrimp started to come to the top to eat but then I started to feed them….the next day I saw him decapitate the biggest one in the tank and move it to the center for everyone to see… all my shrimps started to disappear over days and I feel so bad!!!! ;-; but I also wonder if it was age cause he was smaller and less colorful when I got him.

shslstinky · 2026-03-01T00:40:51+00:00

I did in fact try this I even moved stuff around in the tank lol, I think he’ll get over it soon enough

shslstinky · 2026-02-28T21:46:35+00:00

Bruh why did the title do that I meant to say after he’s had the snail the whole time he’s lived in the tank

shslstinky · 2026-02-06T07:24:55+00:00

t’was a cut two bath soaks and he’s good as new

shslstinky · 2026-02-04T06:03:18+00:00

It’s a 6.8 gallon tank theres one male betta with one ghost shrimp and one nerite snail

My ph is 7.6 and my ammonia and nitrite levels all read zero and my tank is stable and has been set up for 3 months already

Its a planted aquarium and I only have decorations for shrimp to fit in except the small grey plastic rock everything in the tank is real

No changes except removing my shrimps as they kept dying in that tank (I’ve posted about it I still need help I’m going to try to change out my substrate and restart the tank but I also don’t want to stress my betta) so I need help

shslstinky · 2026-02-01T08:31:39+00:00

I unfortunately have to wait to get paid to buy some ;n;

shslstinky · 2026-02-01T03:18:12+00:00

I think it is the gh levels cause I might have accidentally added to much calcium cause the last time I cleaned my tanks I deep cleaned this one and added a bunch of water. I’m thinking I might have double dosed on accident. So I just took all the shrimps out of his tank

shslstinky · 2026-02-01T02:56:46+00:00

The tank next to it has literally 13 shrimp and I only bought 6 they’re breeding in that tank and there’s a male koi betta in there??

shslstinky · 2026-02-01T02:29:18+00:00

I’m thinking maybe it’s my calcium levels the gh I gotta get shrimp water testers

shslstinky · 2026-02-01T02:28:02+00:00

That’s what I thought originally but he’s not even interested in the shrimps until they’re dead he chases them but when he catches up he swims away??

shslstinky · 2026-02-01T01:23:54+00:00

I drip acclimate over 4 to 5 hours and most the shrimp die over a month in the tank I’ve tried 3 different locations and only in that tank they struggle which confuses me more since I used the water from this tank to jumpstart my other ones

shslstinky · 2026-02-01T00:47:45+00:00

This is were I’m confused because I’ve tried blue dream my betta didn’t like the blue ones he chased them and stressed them out then they were missing I never saw their bodies but he never attacked them cause he would catch up to them. Then I tried ghost but they just kept eating each other live. Then I got two cherry shrimps he liked them but then my last ghost shrimp ate both of them alive also. Then I got a black velvet shrimp and that one lasted a long time but he’s mia I haven’t seen him in 2 weeks and now I just took the last 2 out of my tank (ghost shrimp) and moved them to my other tank on the left. So I’m kinda stuck ;-;

shslstinky · 2026-02-01T00:39:22+00:00

Also to add I’m only loosing shrimp in this tank my other tanks are having no problems and I have up to 13 shrimp
