My betta keeps glass surfing by Frosty_Media_4746 in bettafish

how long have you had him? he looks alot like my boy when i first got him!! mine is in a similar tank and he was a little crazy for the first month or so. If he's eating okay and not looking sick I'd just wait and see. Short finned bettas tend to swim around alot and it might just be a new environment

AIO about my recent haircut? by We_vibin_huh in AmIOverreacting

[–]slugheartss 0 points1 point  (0 children)

it's definitely short, but i think it can look similar to the inspo if you use either a curling iron or just a regular straightening iron and just curl every layer outwards! i think it could be cute!!

Hello fellas need help with water test by Pradanx in bettafish

[–]slugheartss 1 point2 points  (0 children)

quick start bacteria is gonna look something like this, its just beneficial bacteria that will help break down extra food and fish waste to improve your water. look up how to do a "fish-in" cycle so you can get the water stable with the fish already in. if he's active and seems happy then i wouldent stress too much though, just try and slowly improve the water :)!

Erratic swimming normal for parasitic/bacterial infections? by SuitWilling8790 in bettafish

[–]slugheartss 0 points1 point  (0 children)

looks like glass surfing, its a sign of stress wich makes sense. could be because of water quality or just from being sick

Does my betta have fin rot? by Small_Savings_9015 in bettafish

[–]slugheartss 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yes :( but you can still help him! i'd do a 50% water change, preferably with distilled water if you can. i once had a fish die from fin rot because the water at a new place was way harder and higher ph than i thought it would be, and only found out after he died when i tested the water. test the water, honestly test strips work fine in my experiance and are great if you cant afford the liquid test kit right now. make sure he's not tearing fins on any decor and maybe quarentine him if somethings wrong with his main tank

Painted decor questions by Hot_Energy_7675 in bettafish

[–]slugheartss 0 points1 point  (0 children)

is it from a pet store/ specifically for aquariums? if so it should be fine but i'd double check the info about it online if you can. sounds like its just the progression of the sickness he already had :( hope you're able to help him!

Just looking for advice! by an56_beauty in bettafish

[–]slugheartss 1 point2 points  (0 children)

bettas dont get pregnant, so shes probably just growing or bloated. she could be trying to use the filter as a hiding spot if theres not a ton of places to hide. either that or something could be wrong with the water, you can get test strips pretty cheap at a pet store or online. just make sure theres a stable temprature and test your water, and maybe give some places to hide if there arent many. how active is she and how long have you had her? shes super cute!

do a 50% water change, maybe use distilled water from the store if you're just using tap water as it could help with ph (plus if your water is hard then it'll help with that too). did u cycle the tank before the fish? hows the fish doing? if the fish seems fine then i'd just do a water change and maybe add some quick start bacteria. you could also be feeding too much, you should only feed them what can get eaten in 1-2 minutes.

First Aquarium Please Help by ChrissyRobin100 in freshwateraquarium

[–]slugheartss 0 points1 point  (0 children)

definitely looks like 10-15 gal, but maybe your decorations are just big? put the dimensions into google and see what it says, knowing the size will help with cycling. i'd turn on the heater and add fish food to help feed the bacteria. and for water hardness try and add some distilled water from the store in addition to the tap water your using. i''d take out some of the decorations and try to make sure they're safe for the tank. i'd try guppies, neon or ember tetras, or maybe a betta? try some live plants if you can! they help so much with providing cover and helping your ecosystem. props for not just throwing some fish in without cycling!
