Emily M Posted February 15, 2021 Share Posted February 15, 2021 Hi fellow hobbyists, I’d love some advice about my betta. But first the numbers: temp:78, nitrites 0, nitrates 0-20, pH 7, ammonia 0, moderate kh, gh. He has developed some ratty fins. I’ve been changing the water daily, and added ichx, and Maracyn. He’s in a ten gallon tank (with snails). I moved him into the ten gallon from a five thinking it would be better. despite this, fins are looking worse. Still eating, but not as happy as before. I’m so bummed! any ideas? Pic is from today. thank you all! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colu Posted February 15, 2021 Share Posted February 15, 2021 I would keep up the water changes if maracyn has not worked you can Treat with aquarium salt 1 table spoon for 2 gallons if you have live salt at that level will harm them so I would Qarantine and treat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
