If your Betta’s lights are flashing red and green together, it typically indicates an issue related to the propellers or the red gear motor that drives the debris basket. Here’s what to check:
Inspect the Propellers and Basket Wheel: Turn the unit OFF and spin the propellers and the basket wheel with your fingers. They should move freely. If anything feels stuck, remove debris, hair, or leaves wrapped around the shafts.
Check the Gear Motor: Remove the debris basket and locate the small red gear motor inside. With the switch turned ON, the gear motor should be turning slowly.If it isn’t moving or appears blocked, clear any visible debris around it.
After cleaning and ensuring everything can move freely, turn the unit back on and check if the lights return to normal. If the issue persists, feel free to reach out for additional support.
