OK so I like your thinking 👍 I do love a bit of diy myself 😊 So I would definitely not 100 percent never put a 240 directly on top of that I'd suggest cutting a piece of 1" thick ply to fit on top and then putting foam or something between the tank and wood. I like your feet idea and the...

Where was Betta sat for a few days while you let the tank "cycle" for a few days? Could that be the problem 🤔 and was he kept warm during this time? Like GaryE said just keep up with the water changes and add some botanicals to the tank, they will give off tannins and nature's antiseptic

Personally I don't think a salt bath is needed in this case, obviously Bleu doesn't need the stress of that do you have any Indian almond leaves as they will slowly work while you are away. Make sure to keep the light off aswell 😉

Put some Indian almond leaves in with him if there aren't any in there already, that's a natural antiseptic. Just give him some time with the lights out (2 days) he should calm down by then. The real question is why did he get stuck 🤔 How old is he? How long has he been in that tank with that...

No problem at all, its all good passing on knowledge and hearing about how other people do things, I like taking other ideas on and modifying them and putting my own stamp on it. like the gravel; people say "squeeze a sponge out to seed a tank" but that will just go into the new filter and...

He is nice looking thanks 👍 that is why I took the chance on him and it is paying off quite nicely, all the fish are happy and swimming around in the open😊 and there is a constant bubble nest in the back under some frogbit 👍

Blimey, that's a lot to reply to 🤪 I'll get an updated photo tomorrow as lights are gone out now 🙄 I didn't do any dry start method and I went against all advice that I've been told at my lfs and read online asfar as baby tears are concerned, I just thought I'd try a pot and see what happens...

Hi Jess, poor little chap does look a bit sorry for himself, I'm no expert but if it was me the first thing I would do is give him a salt bath (2 litres of tank water with 1 tsp of aquarium salt) put him in there for 10 minutes. While he is in there do a 75% water change on his tank and treat...

Sorry for the delay guys, yes Epsom salt and I'd dose 1 tsp (tea spoon) per 1 litre of tank water once a day and no longer than 10 mins but I have done it for 15 mins without a problem.

P.S food I hatch brine shrimp once a week and freeze what doesn't get eaten. Fluval bug bites (crushed) Neutrafin flakes (crushed) Algae wafer Hikari crab cuisine Shrimp king complete Hikari Betta gold And I make my own food in the blender with beef heart, tuna, salmon, crab, prawns, boiled egg...
