My fish doesn't see them, or maybe he does but he doesn't bother? They're really tiny, like dust! Sorry I'm not able to post a photo, rather busy and I doubt they'll be visible. Well hopefully they aren't harmful :S Thanks for helping :)

Thank you for your advice. I removed the salt in the water shortly after and my sword looks much better now. :)

Hi all, when I turned on the light of my tank today I noticed many tiny white spots on my glass in clusters and they're moving. They're so tiny I have to look very closely to notice. Does anyone have any idea what they may be? They're slightly long-ish with a max of 1mm. I hope they're not...

just like to add that though vegetables (and fruit) do lose nutrients and vitamins to the air, it doesn't happen instantly. Rather, it happens over 2-3 days and they only lose up to 25% of the total nutrients. When they do, they'll already be rotting so don't worry about it :)

Glad to hear he's fine :)

http://www.skepticalaquarist.com/ichthyophthirius this is a very good read on ich and it'll help when tackling this problem. Since it's not so serious you can try using salt or just heat like mentioned above.

Hi all, I've recently been using salt to treat my betta for fin rot (7.5 tspn in 5 gal tank). I have a small amazon sword, java fern and bacopa monnieri in my tank. Does the salt kill them? I've noticed more brown algae forming at the edges of the gravel and on the sword and bacopa monnieri...

It's amazing! :good: Can't wait for the final product :hyper:

I'll be removing the coconut shell. Hopefully the holes stop appearing and start to heal :( Unless it's fin rot... :crazy:

Sorry to hear about your fish :( I hope you manage to find her soon. It's always a mystery when they suddenly disappear without a trace :S

Oh no! I just spotted another hole in his fin! I have no idea how and why they're appearing! :crazy: I'm supposing coconut shells can be that sharp?

I'm doing water changes twice a weeks now. Will continue to observe him! I'm really paranoid about his fin now.. :X Yup, hopefully the coconut shell isn't the culprit. He likes squeezing behind the filter intake though. Eek! It's so horrible to see torn fins. At least they don't hurt :/ Is...

Hi all, I recently got a betta in my 5gal tank. It has live plants and a coconut shell. No other fish that may harm him. I noticed his fin had a slit somewhere in the middle a few days ago and today I realised his fin has split into 2! :crazy: Could it be the coconut shell that tore his fin...

Hi all, I have a bacopa monnieri in my tank. When the leaves begin to die I know I have to remove them but how do I do it without almost uprooting the stalk? Sometimes they're in hard to reach areas as well. Do I always have to remove them to trim off dead leaves?

I've been MIA for TFF for some time but I'm back! :)
