Will do, thanks for the help guys! With any luck he'll get better soon and I won't have to tentatively check the tank each morning to see if he's still alive. I'll keep you updated

Yeah, it's 5 for the tank water and 0 for the Tap water

Pleased (or not pleased) to report it's a big fat 0 on the nitrates reading. I'm so confused about what could be making him ill.

I'll go test now quick

In regards to the nitrates in my tap water, I can't remember for sure off the top of my head - though I'm almost certain they were 0/low enough that they didn't concern me

Besides the dechlorinator I've not added anything, except some seachem paraguard today and yesterday as I was concerned about him, though his breathing was like it long before the seachem. I usually avoid disinfectant soaps to begin with and typically only use bars of soap, though I'm sure even...

There's very little water movement, the output has a sponge over the top to slow it down even more. Yeah I think the cloudy looking eye is just the video, doesn't seem that way in person. There's a better video of his breathing, he's pretty active most of the time. Will often see him swimming...

Looking at it now, that video is pretty tricky to see anything in. Will try getting a better one in a moment!

It's pretty difficult to capture him on camera, he's pretty shy of it and the lighting is kinda eh but you can kind of see - at points - where his gills look like they extend out past his gill plates. In terms of the water hardness, I haven't got a kit to test it as of yet but the company...

Thanks for the replies, I should probably clarify that the pH reading is either one or the other, I just couldn't tell which from the colour, it was a sort of in-between. In regards to the parameters of the tap water they're: Ammonia 0 Nitrite 0 Nitrate [Not sure] pH the same as the tank water -...

Morning guys, I recently purchased a new Betta - 3 or 4 days ago - to live in a 34l aquarium (by himself). It's been cycled for about a month and a half now, and the water parameters are as follows: Ammonia 0 Nitrite 0 Nitrate 5 pH 6.8-7 Temperature 25.5-26 As far as I know, these are fine...
