DebSills Posted May 29, 2022 Share Posted May 29, 2022 So, I recently lost Hiu, my blue/green alien betta. He started losing his appetite (his name literally means "hungry" in Thai, so big clue) and then noticed he was pineconing - it seemed to come on all of a sudden and I'm not sure why...all water parameters are spot on and the tank has been running for months. Now that he has passed, I'm not sure what I should do about his tank...it is moderately to heavily planted and now just has the three nerites in the tank...I have done two ~80% water changes, but I'm not sure if it would be safe to convert this tank to a shrimp tank, or if I should move my nerites and just scrap the whole thing and start over any advice would be greatly appreciated - I am gutted after losing Hiu and don't want to risk any other inhabitants Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scapexghost Posted May 29, 2022 Share Posted May 29, 2022 Fish diseases are generally not transmissable to shrimp. Dropsy is a symptom, rather than a disease, but it is usually caused by organ failure, which is not contagious. You are most likely safe to add shrimp. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
