Who Gives A Fish Forums

I got my Betta almost a year ago, and he was in rough shape - fin rot and Popeye. I treated him with Betta fix right away, and it helped a lot with the Popeye and fin rot. The swelling from the Popeye went down almost completely after daily water changes, except for a little bit, and the white ...

Cyphastrea's a solid pick. Just give it shade if your lights are strong. Mine colored up best under the overhang of a rock, PAR around 150.

Goniopora need low flow and dirtier water than SPS. If you're running ULNS, they'll struggle. Mine thrived after I bumped nitrates to 5 ppm and fed Reef Roids twice a week. But yeah, watch for aggression.

I've got a Zorchzon sword that's like a tank. Never had an issue with it. You might want to give one a shot, see if it's your plant-killing nemesis' kryptonite.

I appreciate the suggestions. I've actually been on the hunt for Vallisneria for a while now, but unfortunately, none of the local fish stores in my area carry it. Does anyone know of a reputable online store that sells Vallisneria?

I'll also be looking into Hygrophila, thanks for the tip.

I'm looking to add a few more plants to my 29-gallon tank. I'd love some suggestions for low to medium light plants. I've got sand with root tablets, so that should work for most plants. Currently, I've got Bacopa monnieri, Aponogeton madagascariensis, some Lemnaceae, Anubias, Marimos, Zorchzon ...

It's really tough to pinpoint the issue without knowing your water parameters. Would you be able to take a water sample to your local fish store to get it tested?

What's your tank size, and could you share your current water parameters? Also, would you be able to post a picture of your betta?

I'm pretty sure my friend got the betta when he already had fin rot, and she's been trying to help him recover with those big water changes, but it's been tough for her to get rid of it completely. I figure I can give it a shot for the month I've got him. Thanks for the advice on the salt, I'm ...

I'm taking care of my friend's betta for a month while she's away visiting family. I'm pretty sure the tank is a 5-gallon with a filter and heater, but I don't have all the details on parameters. The betta's not doing great, apparently - shredded fins and all. I'm thinking fin rot, and I know she ...
