Betta Water Has Film Top

And the chances are at some point it s going to happen in your tank as well.

Betta water has film top. The tank is being converted to a divided betta tank so they would be ok for a while without the water filtering i think as. Your problem here is very likely. Which is not working but does still have water in it.

You can do just that. I have 2 tanks one is a 2 5 gallon with one male betta. And you just need one piece of equipment.

1 gallon is too small for even a single betta although big chain pet stores would have you think otherwise water quality issues quickly arise in tanks. I set up my 10 gallon 2 whole days before bringing home a new fish to add. Film at the top of the fish tank blocks the exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide along the surface of the water according to fishlab even a small spot of oily film results in a reduction of how much oxygen and carbon dioxide are exchanged making it harder for your betta fish to get the oxygen he needs.

Even if you think you re doing everything by the book unfortunately cloudy water in an aquarium is bound to pop up eventually. The other is a 10 gallon which i divided into 3 sections with only the middle section having a male betta at this time. Cloudy water in a betta tank is nothing new to most owners.

What can cause a milky film on top of your water. Both have a filter and a heater. The fish has a fin that turned white around the edges and is now going brown.

I refilled the tank with properly treated water and i don t see any more of the white bits from the film. Okay so there is a giant shimmering film on top of the water and you want it gone.
