We purchased these betta's about a month ago at Petco.
We started out with 1/2 gallons and then upgraded them to 5 gallons after researching about appropriate betta housings/bowls...
Its been 2 weeks since we first started our two 5gal betta tanks....
We just bought some flourescent lighting because the plants that we have are withering a little bit with our previous halogen light....
I own the Halfmoon and my husband owns the Crowntail.
So far so good, or so we thought, until the water started getting cloudy...
'New tank syndrome' apparently...
Fin's (HM) tank is almost done cycling, (I hope... gulp) and Gil's (CT) tank is a little behind...
The walmart decor that we purchased were defective and started leaking chemicals into his tank....
so we changed everything.
Right now we are doing 10% water changes everyday, and checking the ammonia, nitrates, nitrites and other things...
it can be emotionally draining... I feel bad for our fishies...
We think Gil has a little bit of fin rot, because 2 of his string fins looks like it got burned off and 2 other little strings are starting to curl.
I keep on checking Fin and I'm scared that he might start too.
We bought the bettatalk 'Betta first aid Kit'...
But we dont know if it's okay to use with tanks cycling and all...
PLS ADVICE....
