Haha. Ok. Ugh. So much to learn. Will the tank remain cycled if will be another week before I get fish?

Cool. Thank you.

I did take some of the media out of my hob and put it in my new tank near the sponge filter. Should I do a big water change?

Hello. I've been cycling my 10 gallon for 8 days. I seeded my tank from my 20 gallon and used ammonium chloride. My PH is currently 8.2, ammonia is 1.0 ppm, nitrites are at .25 ppm, and nitrates were 5.0 last night, but seem slightly less today. I am using api so I can't read anything in between...

I'm going to try and locate some Furan 2 today. His gills are moving less rapidly, but I see more of a red outline and flesh whisping off of his tail. I did the 75 percent water change and added Aq salt and tannis with leaves last night. My 2 LFS are opening within the next couple of hours. How...

It has been 2.5 days. I'm worried it could be columnaris. Do you think that is possible? His fins are definately rotting quick. It has spread to the tip of his dorsal fin.

I will try to lower my resolution tomorrow. All I have is my phone. Also, I don't know if I mentioned that he is skinny. But he is not eating yet. He looks at it and just doesn't go for it. Seems like he wants to.

I tried but I can't get close enough. Basically there is a red outline and then some dark dying tissue behind it. The outer fin is black. Nothing fluffy or mucusy. I changed his water and did the salt. My tap ph has gone up some and I don't know how to handle that. I checked it before the water...

Thank you all soooo much. I do need to relax. His gills are bright pink and seem a little swollen, but I don't see anything else, but his fins are definately worse than this morning. A piece came off while swimming and outlined with red. I am using almond leaves.

This is yesterday morning. He has less energy as of last night when the red spot was on the eges of his tail. Now it looks a little frayed.

I do treat my water with prime. I do weekly water changes at 20 percent. I had my tank cycled and ready while my fish was about to be shipped. I had an issue with a plant that I stupidly put in the tank w/o quarantine. I got tons of Hydra and then changed the substrate and scrubed everything. So...

I set up a 10 gallon with plants(I believe this is called a silent cycle when you use plants to keep a healrhy tank) and a sponge filter. I recieved my OHM rose betta from Thailand just about one month ago. He has one clear pectoral fin that no one seems concerned about. He always breathed a...

I've been doing water changes and vacuuming. He is still looking pretty rough. At the bottom breathing heavily and not eating. I think he was sick when I got him but not showing signs yet. I started general cure this morning. Is there anything else I can do for him. He was shipped to me so I'm...

I will. Thank you. I got him fin and body last night and there was a little improvement from last night. He's not breathing as fast.The pinkish spot is tiny and up under his clear fin. I don't think my phone can even catch it. I did mail order him from Thailand, so I know stess had been a...

Thank you.
