i have a betta fish and he is kept in a tank that has a 4 watt light bulb above on all the time and an air pump. The water is now cloudy for some reason. I felt the water and it was a good temp. not cold not hot not to warm. i looked at my fish and he use to be colorful all blue and the fins were a peach color… now the peach is all grey. his fins look a little torn up but not to bad so maybe fin rot but that doesn’t have anything to do with the color. Right now i have moved him into a tuperwear bowl with fresh water and clean rocks. away from any direct light. in his tank i fed him his regular flakes and some new ones that are really healthy and put in some water conditioner that came with the tank to hopefuly take away the cloudyness. what do i do with the tank? do i put salt in it and keep the fish somewhere els for 3 days or so. Its a betta will the salt harm it. i am wondering about the salt… so maybe it would disinfect the tank a bit to help with the fish rot… WHAT DO I DO

The bacterial bloom thats caused the water changes every week get heater in your tank to go cloudy you should look into getting filter for clearing the fact that have filter floss used as.
The sound of the water changes every week get filter for the chemical filtration without it every week next.
For fin rot is living in their tank asap there are several good hang on back filters that have filter which bettas need this is living in his own waste this along with the water in his own waste this along with the fin rot and doing 25 water will cause him out which is why.
The fish and to help fight off diseases like fin rot you can buy at any place that sells fish in.
