here's a picture of my betta tank for my "coming soon betta". all of the things inside my tank is plastic. plastic tank, plastic coral and plastic beads below. for the coral, it's very soft like rubber, but it smells. not bad but kinda nice. i tried running it under pipe water for a long time but still got the smell. will it hurt the fish when i put it in?

nope..those are cheap rm2 fake corals xD
just wonder if the smell that the plastic emits will hurt my betta or not

thanks for LuQee's advice, i got rid of the plastic problem dy. now got the fish, and another problem pops up again

i kinda pity this little kid as sometimes he see his own reflection from the wall of tank and flared at himself.
what i'm trying to ask now is that i think he's suffering from fin rot? i searched a bit on google and some people said putting aquarium salt. is there any other way to cure it other than salt?


EDIT : is it normal for the fish to not eat the pellets i gave him? he's the first day in his tank now. gave him sanyu ichiban micro pellets (that's what the shopkeeper told us to buy)

yes i did.. i didn't use aged water as i don't have any container to age it, used tap water + anti-chlorine instead..is that okay?

update with my new betta..i finally solved the problem with my betta not eating.
now my bro give me another problem again
when i was at school, he went to bought another 2 female betta and put inside the male tank. just saw it when i came back home. the tank i'm keeping him and honestly i can say it's quiet small, even for 1 fish, but now there's 3 in there.
the male keep fighting and biting off the fin of female. very kesian them but my bro insist to keep them in the tank. so now i'm going to just wait all of them die, and buy another HM..the one i'm having now is veil

haha, finally found a small tank in the storeroom to separate them..kesian those females, the veiltail got bitten now looks like crowntail liao

haha you're from miri also.. i bought one from the lfs in pujut. when back home only i noticed got some fin rot..

the shop is at the black box there
u can see it from the 'highway' or roundabout but can't go in with car, have to go in from the small road inside xD

any of u here using filter? starting to feel lazy changing the water every 1-2 weeks xD
how much is it for the cheapest filter system?
and also when u guys change water, normally full water change or half?
no siphon at home so normally do full water change..

individual tank..any filter that can fit inside my tank? how u normally wc? scoop out the water or use siphon?




oh and is this fin rot? around 1 mth the fish with me dy, didn't cured much..



another thing, should i throw away this plastic plant? tried scrubbing the dirt off and didn't work.
*those who eating pls open at your own risk..


btw, came across this pic in imgur when i was uploading the images, not my fish tho..

so filter only can help a little?
haha sry didn't know that, just saw it on imgur homepage den post here dy xD

any recommendations for filter that i can use for small tank like the one i'm having now?

your betta will jump?? my betta is just plain lazy, since the day i got him, i never see him jumped. luckily tho coz my aquarium doesn't come with cover..

I don't think you can keep betta with other fishes in the same tank. He will be very stressed. You can try with female betta tho. And never keep male betta together in the same tank

that happens on my betta too, but last time my female betta, it will follow wherever my finger go, sometimes will jump out of water when i feed her..

guys is this normal? just now when i doing 50% water change, when i poured water into it some of the poop floats up, and shockingly my betta ate the poop and he didn't spit it out
last time he also got eat but after that will puke out, this time he didn't. and he's not hungry coz this afternoon i just fed him.

oh and what plant is suitable for my tank? no light, no filter no co2. want to get a cheap one. the plastic anemone i'm having now is very dirty and is impossible to clean the dirt off..

wow your tank so big...now i feel so kesian for my betta coz give him so small tank for him to swim

i think lfs got sell small tank.
in miri here (sarawak) i buy from a shop called super save, very small tank but is acrylic not glass

where do you guys buy frozen bloodworms? which one is better btw? i heard if buy cheap quality live food your betta might get sick easily, might even get dropsy. i tried finding in a LFS near my house but they're not selling it. got a pack of rm1 food from them, not sure what food is that but they told me it's good for small fish. repacked by themselves and is small round pellets brown in colour like most of the food out there xD
oh and i've been feeding my betta with 3 pellets (sometimes 4) everyday, will it be enuf?
