Thanks peeps, I gave it good whack on the counter top and then also reinforces the cord with a bit of duct tape. I wondered if the bend was causing the wire to disconnect. It’s been running again now for almost 2 hours, so I think we got it! I appreciate the help!

I am having an issue with one of my usb air pumps. It sporadically turns itself off, but if I give a shake it comes back on. Any suggestions? I had bother one for it but was fine in a different tank. Is it maybe the sponge filter or the bubble wall?

Thank you! I did wonder if epsom baths would soothe if nothing else.

This is Gidget. She lives in my office tank. At first it looked like she was just getting a little chubby, then this bulge started to blossom. I treated her 5G tank with Betta Revive for a week, it did nothing to slow the growth. One day she was resting atop the filter and looked to be stuck there in her side. She just looked me in the eye and basically asked for help. The only thing I could think to do was see if I could drain the fluid. I put her in a small container with clean,non chlorinated water and a few drops of the revive. Kept her in the net, wore vinyl gloves and popped it was a sterile pin. She was annoyed but happily swam around the container. I brought her home and put her into a 3 G clean hospital tank with a heater and sponge filter. She was looking good, still happy, still eating, but that lump wasn’t going away. I kept up with the revive for another week. Still no improvement so I went big guns with maricyn for a week. If anything she got worse. This is her today, day 15 of being at home. Does anyone have any ideas???
