hello! I am currently having some issues with my Betta, Regalias. I got him around September of 2025 from PetSmart. he is normally (he's in a sick tank right now) in a 10 gallon planted tank with a heater and sponge filter. the tank temp ranges from 72-78. current parameters are GH and KH: between 120-180, the pH is between a 7.5 and an 8. no nitrates or nitrites. I don't really need to add anything into the tank to get the parameters. the tank has been established for a good few months now, I got this 10 gallon one in maybe November. water changes aren't very often, but I do maybe an inch or so of water with a siphon and vaccum the gravel. he also has shrimp tankmates. he doesn't attack them, and actually enjoys watching them. there's about 40 shrimp??? in the tank with him. I feed him seachem nutridiet: betta and I normally do one pellet at a time, and he eats a total of maybe 4 or 5 each day. I've been fasting him for a day now in the sick tank, and the first picture is of his normal tank, and the others are of him in the sick tank. I am currently using api bettafix to try and help him. he is almost completely horizontal in the sick tank.

hello again! I posted here earlier about my 10 gallon neo shrimp tank with a really chill betta. the peach shrimp I thought would have died by now is still alive. she is in the net in the photo, and I know it sucks, but it's all I have right now. one of my shrimps actually dropped some of her eggs (she is from the original group of 5, berried by the second generation). and i also have 2 females from the second generation berried. is this something that is normal for shrimp? is there maybe too many in the tank (its 5 original females, 1 had a clutch and now there is 1 generation that is about 2 months old now, and then a third generation that is maybe a week or so old). the peach shrimp in the net i think just finished molting, as there was a larger molt in the tank close to where I found her this morning). the tank parameters are:

GH: between 120-180

KH: between 120-180

pH: maybe between a 7.5-8

no nitrates and nitrites

Hey all! So I have a 10 gallon freshwater tank with a betta(super chill, actually watches the shrimp) and some neo shrimp. I started with 5 females, one berried. She had her babies and now I have a lot of shrimp in the tank. They are already getting at it and whatnot, and I saw 3 more berried shrimp. One of my females I think molted and maybe had a failed molt. When I was looking at the tank this morning I thought one of my original females was dead (laying on her side, male already on her eating), so I went to scoop her out. She then SWAM AWAY and is alive, but she is not in good condition (she's separated and such now). Another one of my females also seemed to drop her eggs. Also found out I already had another little clutch of eggs hatched and I have Itty bitty shrimps swimming around. Water conditions are fine. What could have caused all of this to happen and like what can I do? I know a good little bit about neos, but I'm still kinda new to this. The temp is a little under 80, and the parameters were fine. No nitrate or nitrite, stable levels of everything else. We moved into a new house maybe a month ago, and the shrimp have been doing fine since the move. I do think there might be quite a few males in the tank though, so could I have too many males? Here's a photo of my tank before the move. Same plants and such are in the tank after the move, and I recently added a new plant to the tank and a small air stone. (already have a Java moss ball and a moss pad).
