Help, betta fish is sinking and breathing heavy

My betta fish is having a hard time swimming, he always sinks to the bottom and floats onto his side. Since he’s sinking I think it’s a swim bladder issue but I’m not sure how to treat him. I noticed this last night because he wasn’t sleeping in his usual hide, instead he had shoved him self in between a log and the side of his tank, when I stirred up the water around him he swam up really fast and then back down and in between two plants to hold himself up, this morning he was no better so I set him up the hospital tank in the photos. He also didn’t eat dinner Saturday, but I figured he was just not hungry because occasionally he will refuse dinner and just eat breakfast in the morning, but then he started showing lethargy signs on Sunday and got worse very quickly. He has had finrot for three weeks since I got back from vacation, but I haven’t been able to successfully treat it yet. Currently his tank has a silk plant, hide, heater, and airstone. If I need to add anything else I will. I have methylene blue, kanaplex, and paragaurd on hand but I’m not sure if any of these will treat him or if I need to order something else. What can I do to help my fish?
I did a water test with the API masterkit, nitrites, nitrates, and ammonia were all 0.

Help, saw brown liquid come out of my hens mouth, is it sour crop?

I was putting my birds in their coop and saw one of my three year old hens spit out some liquid. It looked brown from where I was at, and a decent amount came out. Her crop doesn’t feel or look big but it does feel squishy and like it has liquid in it so I’m worried it’s sour crop. She hasn’t been acting strange at all and I couldn’t her mouth doesn’t smell bad but I wasn’t able to open it because I was in a rush to leave when I noticed her spitting up liquid. I have a place I can separate her when I get home if I need to monitor her. If this is sour crop, how do I treat it?

Edit: this morning her crop emptied a little bit, there is no more liquid in it but it didn’t empty all the way because I can still feel it and it’s still squishy. Her breath smelled a little sour when I smelled it.

Will changing dirt get rid of bugs in my plants.

I noticed some tiny flying bugs in my plants dirt while watering. If completely change all of the plants dirt and clean the pots will that fix them or could they be actually in the plants or something? I couldn’t get any clear pictures but does anyone know, I don’t want to have to completely get rid of any of my plants.

Came back from vacation to finrot and a wound? On his head

I just came back from a week long vacation and my betta aqquired finrot and there is red on his head. I know they change colors sometimes but it seems more in between his scales. I’ve dealt with finrot before so I’m not to worried about that because I have kanaplex for that, but will kanaplex fix his head or do I need something else? Sorry if it’s too many pictures I just wanted to be sure I had a good one in there.

Can I put a grow light on a window plant for more light?

I don’t know if my title makes sense but I have a hibiscus in the brightest window of my house and it’s still leaning into the window so I think it wants more light. If I put a grow light over it will that provide more light on top of the light from the window. I can’t put it outside because I don’t have a place I can put it like a plant stand without my neighbors puppy destroying it. It’s not dying or anything, it’s flowering daily and is clearly bigger than when I bought it, I just don’t think it’s thriving as much as it could be. The only issue I’ve been having is brown leaves because I’m either over or under watering but I don’t think that’s related to the lean. I did include a picture in case that affected anything (I am not a photographer don’t judge the bad photos)

Are my spider plants attracting weevils?

For the past couple of days I’ve been finding what I’m pretty sure are weevils around my room. Are my spider plants what are attracting them, and are they harmful to my plants. Google says they are harmless to human but eat plants. I haven’t found a crazy amount, but I get pretty paranoid about bugs so if anyone could let me know if I need to treat my spider plants or something.

Advice for sick chicken please

I moved my flock into a new coop about a week ago, and since then one of my hens, Chip has been acting strange. At first she would refuse to exit the roost area and go down the ramp in the morning, I figured she was scared of it or maybe it was uncomfortable on her meet because this chicken has gotten foot injuries multiple times before; but I wasn’t too worried about it because she was still roosting and eating and drinking. Today however she didn’t roost which worries me, she also has very watery poop. I don’t currently have any pictures but I can get any that would be helpful. She’s still acting normally otherwise but I’m worried this means she’s sick. Her abdomen does seem to stick out more then normal but when I felt it there was no stuck egg and it wasn’t tight at all like how water belly usually is in my experience, it was very squishy. What can I do?

HELP hibiscus leaves dying!

I went to check on my hibiscus and now a lot of my leaves are like this, why? Is it pests or is it not getting enough water? I did skip a water but would it decline this fast. I did have to treat her for spider mites two weeks ago with soapy water but I thought they were all gone and I’m not seeing any. Please help.

I just bought two fertilizers, one for my spider plants and one for my hibiscus and it left me without money for a third for my caladiums. Will either of these work? Or is it better to wait until I can get a different one for them?
