Who Gives A Fish Forums

Gonna try the fasting thing next trip. Always worried about feeders messing up, and my plants are thick enough for snacks.

Hello again, fellow fish enthusiasts and friends,

I'm back after a brief hiatus, but this time with a heavy heart and a broken spirit. My tank has completely melted down in just 12 hours, and I'm at a loss. I don't want to admit defeat, but I think it's time to face reality. I'm on the verge of ...

I'm using a Tetra HT10 in mine. Works fine, but keep an eye on the temp. Bettas are picky about that. Oh, and don't forget a lid. They're jumpers.

Yep, got one last month. The filter's chill once you tweak it. My Betta digs the space, but the heater's kinda sketchy. Had to swap it for a better one.

I'm having a bit of a facepalm moment - I think I actually bought a hornwort that was mislabeled as Anacharis. That would explain why it was shedding like crazy. I'm gonna brave the cold and head to my LFS to grab some actual Anacharis, and this time I'll make sure to quarantine it properly (no more ...

Morning,
I'm hoping I've got the right spot to post about my concerns with my King Male betta - if not, please let me know and I'll repost accordingly. I'm still getting the hang of these threads and just looking for some advice.

I'm fairly limited on space, this is a 10 gallon long. Would broad leafed Anacharis still do well despite not having depth? I had a narrow leafed variety before, and like you said, my betta didn't really care for it.

I'm not opposed to adding more plants, since changing over to a canister filter I ...

I really appreciate the responses from both of you.

The bloodworms I've been using are fresh frozen, not dehydrated, so that's a plus. I'm a bit concerned that I might have inadvertently created a finicky eater, and now he's refusing all other food sources because of the bloodworms. Hopefully ...

I was thinking the same thing, hours of scouring forums and websites, and I finally hit a wall, which is why I decided to post and see if anyone had any advice I might have missed. This is my first time taking on a treatment like this and trying to rehab a Betta, so I'm learning as I go. I did have ...

Update: He finally ate some defrosted blood worms this afternoon, so that's a small victory. Still, he's really listless and keeps rubbing on the substrate, which is worrying me. Also, I've noticed he's been docking in between the lava rocks, which is totally out of character for him - he usually ...
