Framed by the picturesque Wasatch and Uninta Mountains is one of the most unique lakes in the world, the Great Salt Lake in North America, that is located northwest of Salt Lake City in the state of Utah. The water has a high salt content and few creatures are able to survive within its waters. However, numerous rare species of water fowl can be found along its banks. Salt water shrimp and brine shrimp are the staple diet of the birdlife that inhabits the Great Salt Lake and it is only in the tributaries of the lake that fish are to be found. Due to the loss of its natural outflows, the Great Salt Lake lost its water by evaporation, thus creating its saltiness. The lake’s four tributaries carried various minerals from the surrounding mountains into the lake and its salt content further increased. Depending on the water level, the salt content in some sections of the lake can reach up to twenty seven percent, only the Dead Sea contains more salt. The Great Salt Lake is a remarkable and unique lake and its origin and unusual beauty make it a true miracle of nature!

What is the best betta food? ?

My betta won’t eat the food I give him and now he’s killing and eating my neon tetras. I have tried flake food, and he just ignores that. I’ve tried frozen brine shrimp and he might pick at it a little, but usually won’t eat any of that either. My neon tetra population is dwindling and it would cost too much to keep replacing them as they are eaten.

Euthanize or continue treating?

I have a buenos aires tetra that I have been treating for about two weeks that I need advice about whether to continue treating it or if it is more humane to euthanize it. The story: this buenos aires lived in a shoal with 8 other buenos aires tetras in their own 30 gallon tank but was always the smallest. I came in one morning to feed them and the other tetras has completely eaten all of this one’s fins and tail off (all of the bottom fins as well as the entire tail-just the flesh no bone involved). I immediately moved it to a hospital tank and have been treating it with Maracyn and Maracyn-2. It is not able to swim at all, it lays on its side (it can flip over) and recently has started having a bend to its body. I have been hand feeding it (it will eat a little brine shrimp or tubifex worms) and treating it everyday. Its tail is beginning to grow back and the bottom fins are more than 50% there but it has made no attempt to swim and the bend to the body is getting worse (at least to me).
My question: Should I continue treating this poor fish or is it more humane to euthanize it (humanely of course using clove oil and grain alcohol). Thanks for any and all suggestions.
