My 6 yo son has a male beta fish in a small tank w/a bubbler. Does anyone know what we could put in the tank to clean it? Some type of fish, crab or something that will clean up the tank so he doesn’t have to clean it so often…and the male betta will not kill or attack the cleaner.
Any help please.

I have a 10 gallon with intentions of moving to a 55 gallon in a few months. I have a pleco, one betta, 3 tetra and one clown loach left.. and he doesn’t look like he’s going to make it. As far as I can tell everyone in the tank is now affected even though I’ve been treating them with coppersafe ( i was told this was fine for the loaches) for a week now. I’ve already lost one loach to this. I’ve moved all of them into a sterile tank that I had cycled for a week and am now doing 50% water changes twice daily to interrupt the cycle. ( as directed by pet store) I have raised the temp to 78F because I don’t know if the tetras can tolerate higher heat…. however I am almost desperate to save my last fishies and need suggestions asap as I have to go out of town next weekend and i don’t want to come back to a tank of floaters.

I guess what I want to know is..
~ can I raise the temp without hurting my tetras?
~are there any other tricks to save everyone else?

When I got my betta he was solid blue and there were no signs of red on him. I have kept him in the same spot with no new lighting but now his whole body is turning a dark red. I know that when they sleep or get sick there colors pail but it isn’t like that. Any help?
