Ok, I'm at my wits end here.
I've got a 2.5 gal Minibow with 1 betta. For some reason the past few months, his water has been getting 'slimy' A nasty slime covering on the surface that breaks apart almost in sheets.
--I've removed all gravel and cleaned it well.
--I've totally replaced all gravel and plastic plant
--I've replaced the tank w/another 2.5 I have
--Replaced substrate *again* and added a Nanofilter
--*Still* getting cloudy water....now I'm running a Whisper 2.5 w/carbon and *still* getting cloudy water.
I've got 2 1gal tanks as well w/bettas and they have zero issues with water. Clarity is top notch and no 'slime' No filtration on these systems.
I only feed 2 betta pellets per day...same as the 1gal tanks
Had an identical tank next to it that had no problems at all (lost the betta when he developed a tumour)
The 2.5 is on our kitchen counter...far away from any cleaning products and gets about the same amount of sunlight as the other tanks.
So...what's up w/my fish?? I don't know what else to try and I'm tired of doing full water changes every week!!!
