Possibly that's it, but there is no heater in tank at time as it holds that temp all yr long (accourding to mom) with no change and has always been like that. Plus this betta did come from a fish...

76 F and 10-15% each week. Use Prime . Filter is for up to 10 gal

Mom's betta, in 5 gal tank with live plants and driftwood and black plant sand. All peremeters are excellant.
For last 2 mo betta has been only laying on the bottom of the tank and never comes up...

right. I know most fail because they think its gone before it really is. Must be a stubburn strain. My guess is that they MUST have been sick awhile because the two died yesterday before the tank...

Quick update and new question.
Her fish are doing well though 2 of the 3 did not survive. The 3rd one still has spots on it though no other fish have. I thought after a few days of high temps the...

lol I had a neon do that to me the other day. I panicked and did a wc. then next night saw it again. I think the fish were 'sleeping'. or resting at a tilt

No More SNAILS! Tried mystery snails and I can't keep them alive because of lack of calcium. If my oto's survived then something must be right in there.
Stock lighting btw I forgot what it is but...

what they have in stock look good too. But I'll probably be holding off for a bit on getting any. I like to plan ahead. I think my husband would like them. I also checked into Cherry Barbs, they were...

Thats a great idea! I never thought of that- I'll remember that when I do get another one as my anubias always needs trimming.
As for pregnancy being stressful- you have no idea. I still have to...

I am afraid to add more cories as I I don't want to over load...
Tank is planted but not all fancy. I'm not brave enough to do CO2 and the only ferts I've gotten so far was LeafZone and I use it...

ok. I did treat my cories once with salt and they did ok. Maybe because I had mollies at the time I kept it brackish and they were more adapted to it. I don't thin she salts hers. Thanks I'll give...

Ok. And since its been awhile since I've done any ICK treatments...
What steps do I tell her if she chooses salt? How much per gal, Is it still vacumn and W/C every day or every other?

I've...

Ok and those fish can handle the high temps and salt?

Any idea of how long she will need to treat with salt so she knows how much salt to buy?

She can do difficult... its a matter of not killing the cories or tetras to treat it. What is safe for them Medicine wise?
Pretty much she has a walmart unless she travels 100 miles for a petstore....

My niece always calls me with fish issues and I wanted to check on this before really telling her what to do. She has a 50 gal tank and water perms are all good (Ammonia and nitrites are 0 and...

That's the other part of argument that chemicals in it would hurt fish. But it sounds like many have tried it and had no issue. IDK- just thought I'd bring up the debate for fun.

So I was looking up info for my mom as usual and came across a few articles and other things saying it CAN be ok to use table salt or better and safer Sea salt for tanks instead of aquarium salt if...

Well I thought I saw him eating. lol
Wahh.. don't say its a long time till June... I'm dying here as it is with this pregnancy! lol

As I stated earlier I wasn't the one that BOUGHT the fish. MY...

I think I saw penny wort at walmart. I don't think I have any clubs in Spokane and pretty much am subject to Petsmart, Petco and walmart. All others closed down so I got nothing! lol I hate paying...

Well I called Petsmart and they said they don't seem to sell them anymore- haven't in at least 3 months. shoot. They do have bloodfins though and I've done my research on them a bit too.
I didn't...

I found a deal on ebay for anacharis and hornwort with free duck weed. Not sure if I want to grab it becuase of the duck weed though. Almost thinking I'm better grabbing one silk plant to stick on...

I found the 5th black tetra I knew he was in there... just hiding. Actually I forgot that the reason I had lost a couple of neons and the one black one (which of course we have no idea how old they...

what about anacharis? I get a lot of algae so something to help keep it down might be best

pardon my brain I ment to post that...
Stock lighting that grows anubius, christmas moss, java ferns with no issue.
These neons were coming out more with less lighting. Its a 30 gal and the stock...

can't remember now what grows well floating or planted. I am finding that my Neons are not coming out as much since my apongea (sp) bulbs died off. I had them for temp. plants till my others grew in...
