Description: Kartoffel is a wild betta species called Mahachai betta. Peppermint started out strong and then it grew too tall. I was going to cut the tops off, but I wasn’t sure if the plants would recover after that, so I used bonsai wires. It worked out in the end. However, the peppermint plant grew too much and it can’t get enough light, now. I suppose it’s time for a new plant. The pest snails and hydra was taking over this tank, too. Many months ago, I added some giant duckweed from the volcano tank, and they must’ve hitchhiked on them. In the video, it doesn’t seem like there are lots of them, but the infestation was out of control. With the snail population exploding, algae bloom has gotten worse in this tank, too. I ended up using snail leeches: Alboglossiphonia lata = Glossiphonia weberi lata (Family Glossiphoniidae, Order Rhynchobdellida, Class Hirudinea, Phylum Annelida). They will disappear on their own once the snails(food) are all gone. Kartoffel has been battling fin rot. It would heal, and then it would come back. I have three different types of medicines for it, but I’m waiting to see if it would heal on its own by doing big water changes and feeding him more substantial foods.

Something like aquarium salt, or regular sea salt.) Brine shrimp net: amzn.to/30Gkrqg 60ml syringe: amzn.to/2W9iWm5 Neodymium Magnet: amzn.to/2QkFABu (*The most important part is the salinity and temperature. At room temperature, it might take 48 hours to hatch. At Higher the temps, they might hatch in less than 24 hours. (*For salinity, I’m going by the 1 table spoon per liter rule. However, depending on the salt, you might want to try up to 2 table spoons.)
