Thanks for the info. The only club I know of in my area does strictly saltwater sadly. I'll probably see if my LFS has any want for it, otherwise I'll just put it on FB Marketplace. @Fish Folkthose Nothobranchius rachovii are amazing! Stunning fish 🙂

I recently impulse bought a biOrb 30L tank because it was on sale for a very good deal. But after having it for a while I've sadly come to realize I currently don't have the time or need for it. I can't return it so I'm just wondering if anyone knows where I could resell it? It's brand new in the box. Is FB Marketplace the best place to find a hobbyist who might want it? I don't know if there is even any interest for these tanks anymore, but I was just wondering if there are any special places that I should put it for sale on. Thanks 🙂

I think I'm going to order some kanaplex soon. The salt hasn't seemed to do much and some of the tips on his tail are starting to turn reddish and die off 😞 With the kanaplex, do I need to set up a hospital tank or is it ok to dose straight into the tank? (with the plants and nerite)

Thank you both! I heard about kanaplex but thought I'd try Maracyn first because that's what the Co-op recommended. I picked up some salt today and I'll try to get some catappa leaves soon. And sorry, this is a newb question😂 but how often should I dose the salt? Just after every water change correct? And should I do more frequent water changes now? Also, my nerite snail should be ok with the low dosage of salt, right? If the salt and catappa leaves don't help I'll start a course of kanaplex. 🙂

Hi again - my bettas fins began looking a little more rough (not sure if he was biting his tail or if it really was fin rot) but I did a full dose of maracyn (per the instructions on the box) just to be safe. Just barely finished that course a day or two ago and within the last few days his tail has gotten worse 😞 The water is still clean (parameters are great) and I can't find anything that would be causing him large amounts of stress. Should I dose maracyn again or try aquarium salt? Maybe some catappa leaves?

Thank you for the quick response and info!

Hi all, My betta just recently started showing signs of fin rot in his tail. It seems to be very minor at the moment, but I still want to treat it before it gets any worse. Water parameters are: Ammonia: 0ppm Nitrite 0ppm Nitrate 20ppm. He's in a 10 gallon (heated to 76, live plants) with one nerite snail. I have Maracyn on hand, so should I start dosing that? And since I don't have Ich-X, should I still treat the way in the Co-Op's video says to (one packet for one week, then water change) or should I follow the instructions on the box (one packet each day for 6 days)? Please and thank you! 🙂

A bit of a newbie here! I have one betta in a 10g tank with one nerite snail. The tank is heated (76F) and has plenty of live plants. I noticed about a week ago that my betta has a few spots in his tail that look a little rough. I can’t tell if they’re chunks taken out by biting or fin rot. Water parameters are normal (Ammonia 0ppm, Nitrite 0ppm, Nitrate 30ppm) and water changes once a week. He cycles between Xtreme Betta Pellets, Hikari Vibra Bites and Freeze Dried Bloodworms. I’ve had him 5 months now and no problems until this. Do you guys think this is fin rot or tail biting? I can provide more pics if needed. Tank light was off at the time😂 Please and thank you!!
