hi I bought the imagitarium fresh water uv purified water for my betta,s. Is this good water for them and does it have the nutrients they need? thank you
Yes, this is fine for a Betta tank. You should still use a small filter as well as a small submersible heater to maintain water temp. Bettas do best between 78 F and 80 F. If you choose to use tap water, use an appropriate water condition to remove harmful chemicals and heavy metals.

My betta has been having a hard time swimming recently because it looks like she's developed a curved spine in the last few weeks. I've also noticed that her gills are inflamed,, she's gasping for air, and her eyes may be a bit bulged. The only probl
Recheck water chemistry to confirm 0 ppm ammonia and nitrites with nitrates at 20 ppm or less. A pH of 7 is fine and they can adjust to more acidic water as long as the change is gradual. Temperature should range between 78 F and 80 F. Plain aquarium salt (NOT table salt or epsom salt) can be used as a general tonic to reduce stress, improve gill function, treat minor infection and aid in recovery. Dissolve 1 teaspoon of salt per gallon of water in a cup or two of tank water and gently pour it into the tank. Perform partial water changes every couple of days to maintain water quality. Treat only the volume of water being replaced. Treat with aquarium salt for no more than 14 days then reassess the condition. An antibiotic, such as kanamycin or erythromycin, can be found in the aquarium section of the local Petco if the salt treatment doesn't help. Follow label directions carefully and remove the carbon filter insert during treatment if indicated.

Maintain pristine water quality via filtration and regular partial water changes. Use only conditioned water that is temperature matched to prevent further stress or shock. Bettas do best between 78 F and 80 F. You can try an "all in one" product, such as Lifeguard by Tetra, to treat the condition. Find it in the local Petco or online. Follow label directions carefully and remove the carbon filter insert if indicated. https://www.petco.com/shop/en/petcostore/product/tetra-lifeguard-all-in-one-freshwater-aquarium-treatment

My fish is bloated near the head and he won't swim. He just floats at the top and his fins hardly ever move. He only eats his food when it begins to float to the bottom of the bowl. His fins are pitiful and dull. He won't interact or flare his fins a
Check water temperature and chemistry. Bettas do best between 78 F and 80 F. Unless the room is very warm, a small heater is typically required. Without a filter, frequent water changes are necessary to prevent elevated levels of ammonia, nitrites and nitrates. All can be toxic to fish at high levels. Use only aged or conditioned water that is temperature matched to prevent further stress or shock. Plain aquarium salt (NOT table salt) can be used as a general tonic, to reduce stress, to treat minor infection and to aid in recovery. Dissolve 1 teaspoon of salt in a cup of tank water and gently pour it into the tank. Perform daily water changes, using aquarium salt for 10-14 days. If there is no improvement, consider a broad spectrum antibiotic. You can find one in the aquarium section of the local pet or fish store. Follow label directions carefully.
