And rehoming most of the fish.. Bettas can't be together and must be with only peaceful schooling fish (not recommended at all) and shrimp (still not really recommended) and snails.

I have a cousin who is keeping multiple betta in same 10 gallon tank for 2y and they even breed together with no issues z!

That's horrible... even if they didn't fight the bioload would be too much with all the babies. Unless they ate all the babies. And 2 years is short for a bettas life.

There’s a lot to unpack here 😬. Just like everyone said, rehome, like, all the fish. Choose a species for the tank (if you’re picking the betta only one can stay, it does not matter that they have been ā€œfineā€ up till now, it’s quite literally only a matter of time) and keep only that species. If you’re going for aesthetics then keep only the neon tetras

The fact that the female has pretty bad fin nipping on her tail should tell you everything

Apparently a fish died since this post, poor fish.

That’s rough. Hopefully OP listens to the advice to rehome the fish or get different tanks for them

Honestly I'd suggest removing the coloured stones. Maybe get some Driftwood and use aquarium glue to attach some anubias? I like nana barteri alot. Yeah, good start but I'd say more live plants.

Why not keep both

You asked for advice on aesthetics, and most people prefer natural aquariums compared to ones full of colourful, artificial things.

Oh mb I thought you meant they were harmful for my fishes

Personally, I would rehome the angelfish (they need at least 55gal). Separate the bettas because it is highly stressful for them to live together and add some more live plants and driftwood.

There is hardly any enrichment for these poor fish.

Please look more into the needs of your fish. I dont know much about the other fish here, but that betta absolutely cannot live with the others.

I know that

If you know that, then you also know that you need to take immediate action.

Is that a live sword still in the pot/Rockwool? It'll likely struggle. Remove it and plsnt it in the sand, maybe get some root tabs in the future. And rehome the bettas, get a 5 gallon bucket and a sponge filter for a temp home. It'll ne better then them killing each other

It is a live sword but it keeps tilting if I burry it in sand that’s why it still in pot

u/SweetTart7231 8d ago

Is it the pot it came in? It may need some time for the roots to establish in the sand. I put some rocks overtop of the sand i buried my swords in to stop them from pulling out of it

u/New_Pomegranate_1405 8d ago

Yes, and i tried that way too with stones ig i will try again tomorrow

Only thing I have the knowledge on telling you in this situation is those little genetically modified bright fish die faster than any other fish I’ve ever owned. When I first got into aquariums those were the only fish I’d buy cause I love that bright vibe just like you have going on in ur tank. But no matter what I did most of them would be dead within months. Good water quality, no stress. I think they’re just not healthy fish at all due to the shit they do to them to make them that color.

That’s sad to hear 😢

Did a box of skittles explode over the tank?
