Who Gives A Fish Forums

Thanks for the input, everyone. I'll check if it's pre-rinsed and test a small amount first. Appreciate the advice!

Just saw an ad for 10kg of fine sand at £15. Seems like a decent deal, but I'm not sure if it's worth it. Anyone have experience with this brand or price point? My tank's a 200L with Corydoras, so substrate matters.

Yep, and maybe throw in some extra hiding spots. Plants or decor can help them feel safer.

Yo, I had the same issue with my Betta. Paraguard is strong stuff. I cut the dose to half and added some StressGuard. Worked like a charm. How often are you dosing?

Yep, otos are chill. Also, cherry shrimp won't touch your plants, and they're fun to watch. Just gotta watch out for bigger fish picking on 'em. My betta leaves 'em alone, but it's hit or miss.

I've had betta's before and this does look like tail biting to me. Have you checked the water parameters to make sure everything is in order?

Got my betta 5 days ago and his fins looked fine then - pretty sure it's just tail biting, but I wanna make sure.
