    So I got a new betta today, and I had to take him out of his pet store container with hand (the net was too big). I might have stressed him out but now he's just flaring at me whenever I check on him. Is there anything I can do?

    Hello! I’ve got a new betta fish in a 3 gallon planted tank, and at first he was fine with me and his environment but just recently I did a partial water change and planted a few plants and now he seems to flare at me and the new plants. I know that bettas will always be a bit aggressive but...

    I had a betta that passed away a few weeks ago (fairwell, dear Lenny), and my wife and I are ready to get a new betta. We hadn’t changed the set up of the tank, but we were wondering if we needed to replace the substrate and plants for risk of the bacteria still in the tank. I’m not sure if the...

    Hey guys! Looking for some advice for our newest little adoption! Yesterday we brought home a new betta who seems to not be doing well. Before getting the little guy home in his cup at the pet store it was clear he was on the smaller side and a bit lethargic, upon further observation we...

    Hi, I rescued a betta fish from a local store. He was the only one active in his small cup and kept coming to greet me. Smaller than the rest of the bettas. Anyway, here I am with a fish in a cup. I used to have freshwater, then saltwater, but haven't done it in years. I got this fish a 10...

    Hey! New to the forums and had a question about the coloration of my female betta (and maybe just wanted to talk about her because I'm very excited.) I purchased the first betta I've had in 10 years two days ago mostly to have something interesting on my desk, and am completely smitten. I'm...

    Hi there! Hoping you can help me with this! I have a lovely little betta who has spent 2 weeks in is new tank so that he can settle in. I'm now looking to get a couple of small fish to act as good tank cleaners for food that falls to the bottom of his tank. He's a silly fish that refuses to eat...

    Hello. I have gotten a new betta fish today and I worry for him. I got him at a Petsmart where there were bigger bettas, but he caught my eye. He's really skinny, or small, and he hasn't eaten much. He seemed really active in the day, but now that it's night, he's just floating around. I don't...

    Hi everyone! So this is my first post :grin2: and why not start with a new fish as well? I just got my Opel last week and she is settling well. I want to post a picture of her on here because she's beautiful but it seems she's not the greatest poser in the aquarium. It might also be that doesn't...

    Hello everyone! In mid January I posted a thread in another section of the forum about my fish Felix. He had velvet which was caught too late and passed away despite 2 weeks of treatment and best efforts. It was a sad time and I was a sad panda. It was my first time handling a parasitic...

    Where to I begin... Created an account here to get some ideas for how to better care for my Betta fish. I just got him about a week ago... and all seems to be going well. When he decides to be nice enough to pose for a picture, I will take one... until then... he is faceless. I bought him...

    Hi everyone! I got my first ever betta fish on Friday, and have been watching it closely to see how it is going in its first week here. Unfortunately today, after coming back home for the day, I realised my fish had less fin tissue than before. I've posted pictures to show Day 1, Day 2 and now...

    New batches of fish come in on tuesdays so I went down to petsmart today to see what came in. I was hoping there'd be some new Corydoras but instead found this pretty yellow girl. I couldn't walk away and she was a cheap little vailtail female so she came home with me instead of another catfish.

    Hi guys, I got a new betta a couple of days ago, and I'm just being a paranoid parent wanting to know if he's in good shape. Could I get your guys' opinion on whether or not he looks healthy? Also, if you betta experts could help me classify his tail type, that would be awesome too! (His...

    Today, I picked up a new fish friend from Petsmart and named him Sir Arthur. According to his cup, hes a Dumbo Halfmoon. Couldn't get the best pictures and will probably post more later!

    Hi all! I haven't been on the forum since around spring, after I lost my lovely crowntail, King, to illness. He had cut/scraped gills and he didn't recover. I still have his tank and his travel tank for when I go home over winter break (I'm in college). I'm scared that I'm going to lose my new...

    Hi guys, it's been awhile! I think I introduced Tyr already, but it doesn't hurt to do so again. I really need to update my signature, lol. Anyway! Here's my boys. I have three now. Heimdall at home in my 5g, Tyr & Frey at the doctor's office I work at in a 10g & 5g respectively. I have a...
