    Can my GloFish Tetra survive if she’s blind

    Yes. The subject line on my post says they are GloFish Tetras.

    I don’t think so. They were GloFish.

    Can my GloFish Tetra survive if she’s blind

    I’m near Augusta, so no. I would’ve been willing to drive to drop them off, but I can’t do that this weekend. I found a knowledgeable person who took them. They should be very happy.

    Can my GloFish Tetra survive if she’s blind

    Okay. I just did some more googling….that I obviously should’ve done before I adopted one tetra and definitely before buying two more. To be happy I see that they need more in their school and a bigger tank. I will rehome them.

    Can my GloFish Tetra survive if she’s blind

    Thank you. I really can’t. I’ve got a lot of physical limitations, I have to be able to easily clean the tank. As it is, I’m worn out and in pain by the time I’m finished. Do these fish not fit the 1” per 1 gallon rule? I’m not offended by your asking about upgrading. I do want them to be...

    Can my GloFish Tetra survive if she’s blind

    It is 5.5 gallons. It’s a planted tank, but it only has 3 plants right now. I’m going to go get some more today.

    Can my GloFish Tetra survive if she’s blind

    I rescued a GloFish Tetra from a neighbor. When I found out they are schooling fish, bought 2 more (I know 6 is ideal but I’m not physically capable of taking care of a tank that big.) The orange and green fish have black eyes, the pink one has reddish eyes that seem more reflective than a...

    Is my betta going back to a happy color, or is she stressed and changing away from her happy color.

    I got a liquid test kit. My high range ph was 7.8. My nitrites and nitrates were 0. My ammonia was somewhere between 0 and .25ppm. I added some water conditioner to help. Does that all sound okay?

    Hi from a new-ish planted tank hobbyist in Georgia, USA!

    Ooh! Thank you! I was wondering why it was suffering. I’ll do that asap.

    Is my betta going back to a happy color, or is she stressed and changing away from her happy color.

    I ran it for 10 days before adding her. Did a 50% change 5 days before adding her, added some beneficial bacteria beforehand as well so that my sponge filter would have some going before I put her in. I use API 5-in-1 strips. For the first 6 weeks, my levels (from top no3 to bottom GH) were...

    Hi from a new-ish planted tank hobbyist in Georgia, USA!

    I do have a gravel siphon cleaner. I’ll keep the garden hose idea in mind! Don’t know if I trust the littles yet, maybe I’ll have them start out on the glass and work their way up.
