How to Keep Your Cat Off of Your Fish Tank
Hi everyone! This video is about how I’ve been keeping my cat off of my fish tank using tape. My cat weighs about 10 lbs, loves water, and is part Siamese, so she loves exploring my fish tank. Unfortunately this also means she loves playing with the filter water too, which is a problem. I use regular clear shipping tape flipped over (sticky side up) attached by two other circle pieces of tape on the glass lid and also on my dresser ledge. It works to keep my cat off of both my dresser and my fish tank, and I hope it works for you too!

Treating Betta Fin Rot: Aquarium Salt & Stress Coat
Переглядів 102 тис.6 років тому
This is what worked for my case of fin rot, please note that what works for some cases may not work for others depending on the severity of the fin rot, as well as water conditions, tank size, etc. From what I've researched, treating this disease is a trial and error method.

    I have a crowntail and a double tail moon, my crowntail 1st had issues so I did a treatment but his fins still look a little rough but better, i don't know how long after 3 rounds I should see improvement...my dbl tail started showing signs and I immediately took out the plastic plant and gave it a cpl days but then his fins got worse so I started treatment...I took the filter out but kept it on to move the water, is that ok? I'm so sad and worried 😢

    My betta has fin rot and I am new to this so I have been doing a lot of research on how to treat this. My question is... So on day 1 you did a complete water change with full amount of aquarium salt(fully dissolved) and conditioner (my tank is 2.5 gal) then on days 2-10 you do a 50% water change adding = amount of dissolved salt and conditioner, is this correct? Thank you for this video, fingers crossed my Ezra will health well! I have also ordered indian almond leaves.

    Don't use plastic and gravel in your tank. Use real plants with good substrate and your fish will live longer.

    Make sure you get rid of those plastic plants they can rip your bettas fins which could also cause the fin rot. Only use silk plants and real plants with bettas because plastic plants sharp.

    • @amandalauf5113
      @amandalauf5113 2 роки тому

      I’m sorry to hear that. My betta went through a bout that wasn’t curing up with salt, so I then did a Kanaplex treatment. I have a video on this as well. That being said, not all fish will be cured by either treatment. Your fish may have a different disease or something going on internally. I would encourage you to keep researching, search the online fishkeeping forums, that is what helped me figure out how to treat my fish the best I could. I hope your fish gets better soon! Is your tank heated to at least 78 degrees? Is your betta pineconed at all? This is bloating where the scales protrude outwards, and is the first sign of Dropsy.

      Haha thanks! ☺️ I got it from Pottery Barn. Yeah the tape is a great deterrent for my cat, but lately she has figured out to just jump straight up from the floor to the top of the tank 🙄 So now I cover the top of the tank with a towel. But the tape still does keep her off the rest of the dresser. Hope it works for you, good luck! Cats are dorks! Lol
