That's awesome, congrats on the new additions.

For bettas, I think 7.5 is usually the highest you want to go. I'm still leaning towards popeye, but I'm no expert. If you want to lower the pH, you could try adding some tannins to the water - it's a pretty natural way to do it. Alternatively, there are chemicals you can use, but I'd try the ...

I'd recommend treating with Maracyn or Maracyn 2 to cover the bacterial aspect. Additionally, adding Epsom salt could help with the healing process and reduce swelling.

I've had my 43gal freshwater community tank up and running for a couple years, and I'm thinking of adding a centerpiece fish with some personality. The tank's currently home to 7 red eye tetras and 3 Corydoras, so I'm looking for something colorful to liven things up. I've got live plants with ...
