    Betta fin advice

    in General Discussion

    Posted

    I'm happy to find this topic! I have a young betta, his body was about an inch long when I bought him three months or so ago. He's active and responds to my presence. I found these red spots on his tail fin this morning that weren't there yesterday. Do I have too much going on in the tank with him? I had to be away for 6 weeks for medical reasons and a friend was feeding and water changing for me (she's fabulous) because Mr. Pink's tank and another are at work. I mention this because his tail was very smooth when I was able to return to lab and now it's ragged and even worse now he looks like he's injured. He was not very active while I was away. Should I take out some of the plants, the stone? He's so personable, I want him to be healthy and happy.

    Hi @Randall H! MTS is highly contagious. But you already know that. I can't get enough. Sometimes I watch Irene on Girl Talks Fish to listen to her talk about her strict limit of three tanks just to try and absorb some steadiness! 😉 This is a wonderful hobby not least because there are such great people in it. Welcome and well met!

    Wos! Beautiful fish in a beautiful tank. I admire the design. If I'm honest I'm a little jealous!! 😉 I'm the same, I started in May last year and in a few months I had 4. It's a great hobby and really fun to share. Welcome to the fish nerds!

    I just installed a Three watt AA Aquarium Green Killing Machine Clip-On UV System. Has anyone used this particular one? There's no on/off indicator light that I can find. I guess I could wait for a couple of weeks to see if the water clears up but I'd like to be assured that it is actually working. I have sent this question to the manufacturer but I'm hoping to get a faster answer here. If no one knows I'll post the AA (manufacturer) response. Thanks for reading.

    I actually have one tank with green water right now - my 40 gallon flowerhorn tank. Water parameters have always been decent, but when I moved the tank to it's current location I didn't think about how much morning sun the tank gets. Turns out, it's a lot. I blocked the window off with curtains on Sunday, and I've done a couple water changes since then. I'm already seeing a bit of improvement.

    I also have light coming in. I'll have to check that for my 29 gallon I'm slowly setting up. It's across the window in the living room. Maybe my bedroom? Oh! That's why my 10g in the bathroom doesn't have green water!!! Thanks @Chris!
