Caroline Salpeck - 6 years ago

Just a tip: you said that you used test strips. Do you use them on all of your tanks? Because test strips can be very inaccurate and often times are flat out completely wrong. Liquid test kits are so much more accurate and precise. The API freshwater test kit is only around $30 and very easy to use, it's definitely worth upgrading! Your levels could def have been off without you knowing if you only use the strips!

potato - 6 years ago

I don't have a filter for my 5 gallon betta tank because with no filter, betta fish can build a natural shield for themselves. If they have filters, they will still be healthy but if the filter breaks for if a situation occurs, the betta won't have a natural shield because the filter was providing it all for them. P.S. So sorry for cosmos

potato - 6 years ago

Caroline Salpeck a natural shield as in when the betta fish gets a disease

Caroline Salpeck - 6 years ago

I'm not sure what you mean by "natural shield" but I can tell you that, from what I know, that definitely doesn't exist. Betta fish need filters like any other fish. They can live longer without filters than other fish because they have a labyrinth organ which allows them to breath small amounts of air, and thus get oxygen in extreme conditions, but they shouldn't live permanently without a filter. They need a filter, heater, and at least a 2.5 gal tank. Not only are filters important for water circulation and proper oxygen levels, they also house all of the beneficial bacteria that run the nitrogen cycle (aka they eat the toxic ammonia and nitrite in your tank). So yes, filters are necessary for Betta fish.

im sorry about Cosmos! you probably already know this but with shrimp its better not to do massive water changes when breeding because youll end up with loses of fully grown females as they are already using all their energy on making babies and the change in water parameters means they have to molt and most times that takes more energy and resources than they have and then they die.

DirtyNaan54 - 6 years ago

I had a male and female betta in a 5 gallon divided the male was on the heater side, when I got home he was pretty much dead he had white almost burns on him idk what happend when fish die it kills my spirit to on keeping fish but everyone looses fish so don't feel like it's your fault :))))

Caroline Salpeck - 6 years ago

DirtyNaan54 your welcome! I suggest doing large water changes every day for a few weeks until your tank cycles- so basically keep doing this until your ammonia and nitrite levels are at 0 and your nitrate is above 0. You can find more information about a fish-in tank cycling online! Good luck!

DirtyNaan54 - 6 years ago

Caroline Salpeck omg that's what my female has jesus I need to a water change cuz I'm treating her with metro plex from seachem and that totally makes sence that's a tone

Caroline Salpeck - 6 years ago

DirtyNaan54 it sounds like either ammonia burn or an injury (which look like white marks on their scales). If it was ammonia burn, then that means your ammonia levels are too high, which could kill your female as well. I would check your water parameters asap (either with a liquid test kit or by taking a sample of the water to a fish/pet store). I would also take any sharp objects/decor out of your females tank such as plastic plants- if the male died of an injury, thy could have caused it. I would also buy a stick on thermometer just in case it was the heater. The tank should be between 75-80 degrees Fahrenheit. If it is higher than this, you should consider getting an adjustable heater. Good luck!

DirtyNaan54 females produce different toxins in the Watters that could be why

I hate loosing fish. It’s not the monetary value that bothers me, it’s just that you try so hard to provide them a comfortable environment only to have this ultimate end. Also they are a creature you really care about, and having them suffer as well just breaks your heart. You’ll find your passion again, trust me, you always do.

some rocks give off calcium not sure what would be available in your area though but worth a look. Also ive found test strips to not be that accurate, ive tried a few different brands but no where near as accurate as a liquid test kit, when i first got the liquid done 2 test strips and 2 liquid tests and had 2 different readings, liquid for me is better.

dattkidd Tillman - 6 years ago

I'm finna get me a ten gallon tank what is the best fish to go in

Caroline Salpeck - 6 years ago

dattkidd Tillman Well first off, your ten gallon will have to cycle for between 3 weeks to a month before you can put fish in it. This will allow it to build up the beneficial bacteria in the filter that the fish will need to survive. Not many fish can go in a ten gallon- don't trust what the stores tell you! Betta fish are a great fish for a ten! If you don't want a Betta fish you could also do a few guppies but no more than five. 5-6 chili rasboras or neon tetras could work as well. But most rasboras and tetras are too big and too active for a ten gal. You could put the chili rasboras or neon tetras with one dwarf gourami as a centerpiece (they are super pretty). Shrimp and snails are also great choices for a ten gal (but be warned, if you get a Betta or gourami it may eat them). But other than those options there really isn't much else that can go in a ten gal. You can always use AqAdvisor.com to see what types of fish and how many you could keep in a tank that size! Make sure you do a lot of research online about how to take care of fish before you get them because the people at the stores will usually give you false information. Good luck!

PsychoticKnows - 6 years ago

How cold is your house cause my betta was fine in 73 degrees

Caroline Salpeck - 6 years ago

PsychoticKnows okay... then you should get a heater for your tank to regulate the temp. I recommend putting it next to the filter so that it can be spread quickly throughout the tank. You should also look up salt bathes- if done correctly they can really help with fin rot. I would also check your parameters- fin rot is usually caused by too much ammonia in the tank, not the temp. Did you cycle your tank before you put the Betta in it?

PsychoticKnows - 6 years ago

Caroline Salpeck the temperature of my house and tank are always changing and now my betta has fin rot

Caroline Salpeck - 6 years ago

PsychoticKnows Betta fish can usually handle a wide range of temperatures as long as they stay between 70-80 ish degrees and stay STABLE. A large fluctuation in temperature can cause them to become stressed which makes them more open to swim bladder, dropsy, or other sicknesses.

Veronica V - 6 years ago

From what it looks like to me: Mystery snails tend to get pin hole size holes on their shells whenever they aren't getting enough calcium. The white is the shell deteriorating. While older mystery snails do develop this over time, considering the amount of snails you have in that tank, there may not be enough calcium for everyone to absorb or eat. Whenever I breed and raise mystery snails I give them kent liquid calcium (sold in the Marine section), homemade powdered eggshells, Tums ( they enjoy the berry flavored ones), and calcium enriched veggies like spinach, kale, and chard. I have a small jar of powdered eggshells if you'd like to try some. Hope this helps!

CrazyNWildBaby - 6 years ago

i do the cuttlebone and it works fine for me. I haven't tried the tums, so I might check that out for myself. Thanks for the tip, Veronica.

B0OY YT - 6 years ago

So sad! And i have a question. Im thinking on getting a 10 gallon tank and i would like to have a female betta; 6 neon tetras; 3 panda catfish and some snails. Do you think the tank would be crowded or not?

Caroline Salpeck - 6 years ago

You could probably get away with the Betta and neons, but the panda cats (which I'm assuming are Cory cats) can't go in a ten gal. You need to keep them in groups of at least six, so they need at least a twenty gal. The Betta and the neons completely max out your tank. You could maybe get away with adding a snail or a few shrimp, but that's it. You'll just have to make sure you do 25% water changes every week and keep an eye on your water parameters (use a liquid test kit- strips don't really work). Also, i want to make sure you know that you have to let the tank cycle for anywhere between 3 weeks to a month or so before you put fish in so that the beneficial bacteria can grow in the filter- otherwise the ammonia will kill the fish. Make sure you do a lot of research online before getting the tank- store employees will pretty much always give you inaccurate information. Good luck!

i don't think the betta would die from temperature. they like higher temperatures and they thrive on warmer water but they wouldnt die from room temp.

Caroline Salpeck - 6 years ago

Joey Heavican_Smile More it was probably caused but the sharp drop in temp/fluctuations in the temp. Betta fish can handle a wide range of temps but only when they are stable- fluctuations can cause stress and sickness in any type of fish.

Hey I am so sorry about Cosmo, he was a lovely fish, and he will be missed for sure. And for the snails calcium deficiency, I recommend just using the cuttlebone that birds use. I just get a big one and break it down for the tanks that have snails in them. And you mentioned you used test strips when you tested your water, and you’ve probably heard this a lot, but you should invest in a liquid test kit. They are much more accurate and last longer. Also another thing that would benefit you and your tanks is to test weekly and keep track with a journal, I do this on the weekends along w water changes (ugh school) and it helps a lot, especially with shrimp. (I have Caridinas)

Sorry for your loss. I doubt the heater didn't work - most people keep them for like a year without heaters. It sucks, but weird things happen. Hope it all works out

Anya Aponte - 6 years ago

true but the sudden change in temperature could’ve been too much for the fish

OhDearInPubs same when I was little I kept a betta without a heater throughout 3 winters

OhDearInPubs - 6 years ago

BayIsProbablyOkay when I was like 5 I used to have a Betta in a small bowl. Horrible, but it lived.

BayIsProbablyOkay - 6 years ago

OhDearInPubs they’re tropical fish, if they are kept in a colder place yes they WILL die from lack of heater, people who keep them without successfully are most likely from regions with similar climates to thailand or they just got very very lucky

TheGolemHunter thank you hope your betta do better

TheGolemHunter - 6 years ago

Terriance Frink Sorry for your lost, I got really sad when my betta got a fungus patch on his head and started to not eat, swim into things etc a few months ago. I thought he was going to die but he is going strong today.
