Also, some rocks degrade underwater, potentially allowing unwanted salts and minerals to get into the tank water, upsetting the pH level, and compromising water quality. Some users complained that the paint on the exterior of the log flaked off over time, leaving an oily residue on the surface of the water. That is what I am hoping for so that he does not spend all his time sitting at the bottom, which I think is contributory to his fin problems. I have a female half moon in a planted 5g with a few rams horn snails (I’ll post pictures when it’s more grown in) I’ve noticed that she is incredibly active, she loves to swim everywhere and explore.

One thing to note is to be sure that the ping pong balls do not touch any bubble nest your betta may have built. The entrance to the cave is large enough to prevent your betta from getting stuck or becoming trapped inside. I can remove mine from the tank and take pictures of the areas I am describing that are rough and would be tough to make safe for delicate fins if you would like. Other safe items that can help de-stress your betta fish are caves and shipwrecks that can be placed at the bottom of your fish tank.I recommend either sanding/filing all edges with sandpaper or a nail file or avoiding items with sharp edges altogether.

The bubbles run upwards along the clear insert and up to the surface, creating a bubble curtain that will delight goldfish in particular. The hideout is approximately 5 inches high, so it won’t take up too much space in your betta’s tank. Make sure there are enough hiding places for everyone so the fish don’t have to complete over the best one. Shyness and heavy breathing are expected due to stress from transport and introduction into the new home. When you first purchase your betta fish, it probably came in a small fishbowl, or worse, a plastic pot.An injured fish will become stressed and will almost certainly fall prey to harmful bacteria and disease that could ultimately kill him. Male bettas are very popular because of their magnificent fins, but a female betta is just as pretty and sometimes females can live together as a sorority in the right environment. With the MyLifeUNIT Artificial Fish Tank Plants 10-pack you get a great variety of colors, heights and densities to accommodate fish of all temperaments and environmental requirements.
