Breeding bettas is always an exciting venture. If you're aiming for koi marbles and fancy bicolors, pairing your koi plakat male with a plain white halfmoon female sounds like a good plan.

The eggs turning black, it might be a sign of fungus or potential issues. Keep an eye on water conditions and consider using an antifungal treatment if needed. It's also possible the eggs are just developing, but changes in color can be concerning. Monitoring closely and maintaining pristine water quality usually helps. If unsure, consult with experienced breeders or your local fish store for more tailored advice.

I'm sorry to hear about your bettas. 😢 To determine if your tank has a disease, it's crucial to look for symptoms such as unusual behavior, changes in appetite, spots, or discoloration on the remaining fish. Also, check water parameters like ammonia KH, pH, and GH, nitrites, and nitrates to ensure good water quality. Quarantine any sick fish immediately, perform a partial water change, and monitor closely. Consider reaching out to a local fish store or an aquarium expert for a more detailed diagnosis based on specific symptoms.

It sounds like your snail has undergone some impressive growth! 🐌 While mystery snails can vary in size, a three-inch snail is on the larger side. Sometimes, differences in growth can be influenced by diet and tank conditions. If you're uncertain about the species, consider checking its shell features or consulting with fellow hobbyists or a local aquarium expert for more insights.
