Hi everyone!
I kept bettas in the past about five i believe and all five died to same symptoms and neither of them lasted more than a month.
I alwways wondered if its my hard water (see attachment) but multiple sources say they can do just fine in hard water so info on this is super conflicting.
But in my old tank i used to keep livebearers from my local pet store that were riddled with parasites.
And my plants always had problems growing in my water so either they would stall die or melt and die or melt. For example my hornwort would loose most of its needles and melt and even my anubias stalled and wasnt growing much but iirc its a slow growing plant but some of its leaves melted too.
My light was and still is, i still have it, 6500K and is LED. So thats not the reason.
Maybe i kept making mistakes and there was something wrong with my water chemistry like nitrites nitrates and ammonia? But tanks were cycled so ive no idea.
And as to the bettas maybe there was a disease in the tank that lived on after each fish passed and kept infecting every fish?
Thanks for any insight! In scared to start again due to the past
