Tag Archives: Snail

About 4 days ago, I got a black mystery snail, and ever since then, my betta has been droopy and sitting at the bottom of his cage. once and a while he will swim around all excidetly, then 10 seconds later he will go to his regular position. I think I am doing everything right, though. His water temperature is between 75 and 82 usually, and he gets fed once a day. (he usually gets a mixture of freeze dired brine shrimp and flackes, but once and a while he gets frozen brine shrimp, or live ones) He has an air stone and a bubble fileter, and he gets 30-40% water changes weekly. I also clean out the filter every month or month and a half. I usually add a pinch of aqarium salt to relieve stress, (when I bought him he had fin rot and ich), and i use de-chlorination drops before adding new water. So what is wrong with my betta? Is he depressed? please help!!!!!!
I got him early september of last year…….so it was w hile ago. The poeple at petsmart told me to keep adding a bit of salt though.

He is in a 2.5 gallon tanks, and he has the kind of filter with an air stone, then a tube where bubbles come oout of.
no, I didn’t put the water in with the snail, I just took him out and plopped him right on in there.
ohhhh i 4got. I treated him with a thing called betta fix rememdy, which was though to clear up both ich and fin rot, and it did!
