I wasn’t getting annoyed at answers. I was getting annoyed at tone. It was instantly passive aggressive and condescending which I have no interest in, a tone which seems to have continued into this answer. The simple fact is I bought a fish hoping I could help whatever ailment it had. I was...

No idea what the lump is and posted photos on another thread. Was given advice on another thread to do 70% water changes for 10 days adding aquarium salt everyday. Unfortunately the lump isn’t improving and is instead getting larger. It’s a lump he has had since I got him and it’s pushing...

The strange thing is the more I watch him he’s not going near the shrimp he’s flaring out of the tank. The lump on his side seems to be increasing in size rather than going away so I don’t know if this is causing his agitation. I’ll continue to medicate him in the meantime.

Hi all, I have learnt the hard way that the Biorb Halo tank isn’t too great. It’s a 15 litre and watching my Betta in it I’ve decided he deserves something bigger to explore. Also the filter system in it is a bit of a pain in term of location and I had to change the Biorb pump as it was so loud...

Hi all, I’ve started the aquarium salt and 70% water changes so will hopefully see an improvement soon. I may be able to get some of the antibiotics on Amazon if needed. Would these be safe for cherry shrimp and snails as these are my Betta’s tank mates? I will maybe see first how it goes after...
