HEY GUYS im suspecting my betta is facing velvet disease anyone know where can i get aquarium salt in kl ? thanks in advance

i use overnight paip water

means u still use conditioner?
why over night?

because The temperature will gradually adjust to be the same temperature as in the bowl and the chlorine will evaporate.

Im newbie. I would love to have betta as hobby. May I know what shud i take note and how is the tank? How is the temp? I see some oversea website they need heater? Don't need filter? Won't the water dirty?

Thanks in advance!

taking care betta is simple. no need big tank (but if you want also can)
change half the water every week or two depends how dirty it can be
make sure u read bout diseases so incase anything happen to yr betta u can recognised it and cure it ealier

if want to prevent parasite get aquarium salt.

ovrall nothing much no need filter or heater

i blief tat almost 100% fish shop also got sel aquarium salt.. jus go to the shop and say wan buy salt will do..
if the fish already kena velvet better buy med.. salt is more like prevention rather than medication..
suggestion: try buy coppersafe to cure ur fish velvet.. is around rm15-20 like that only.. cant recall..

thanks for the advice though i managed to get a cheap med which is enough to kill the parasite
