    I don't know what killed her. She was absolutely fine late last night. Happy, healthy, eating. Today she was breathing heavily at the surface and wouldn't eat. She was pineconing on one side, but it was minor. Then she started darting around violently and smashing into stuff. We were going to...

    Hello, my Betta has now been sick / acting funny for a month. To preface, I’ve had the fish for about 2 years and he is in a 5 gallon tank with standard filter and I replace the filters every few months. I’ll bullet this out for you chronologically. I had a snail in the tank that died that was...

    Hi and sorry to come here so all of a sudden, My Betta splendens is fairly active and hungry, but there some issues I have noticed 1. the gill seems inflamed, unless he scarred it somewhere since he tends to get into the tiniest corners by himself although I've removed by now anything he...

    Hi, I am new to fish ownership but my daughter really wanted one. We try our best to give our Betta and sucker fish a good home. We’ve had him about 1 year now but haven’t ran into too many issues. Over the last week he has developed some spots on his scales. I think it’s just his scales...

    Hi everyone. I’ve posted on here a good bit for the 3 bettas I’ve had, but haven’t posted much for this 3rd betta because he’s been so lovely and I felt like I really learned from my other two who have since passed. Pip, our current betta, has been such a great fish and so fun and active. He...

    My friend owns a betta fish and she is worried that he’s dying. I’m looking for help in how we can help. He is 2 years old, in a 3 litre tank. She has a heater. He doesn’t look any different, except that his tail looks ‘weird’. She’s worried it could be fin rot. He doesn’t swim up for food and...

    I’ve had my koi betta, Dratini, since March. He was beautiful and lively with the cutest personality. About a month or so ago I noticed that he was resting a lot more than he used to, and I just assumed that it was due to age. Until a couple of weeks ago when I started to noticed his tail fins...

    Hey guys, when I got my betta recently he had these markings but they seem to have grown since I got him? He is acting completely normal and eating fine. Water parameters are fine too. Is this a disease or a cut or natural colouring? Thanks!

    Just got some better photos but made a post before about this. Noticed it last week and he’s acting completely normal and eating well. What do you think this is? Thanks for the help in advance

    Please help me heal her. (Typing in bullet points to see if more people respond that way) Checked the water parameters on Monday. Ammonia is 0, Nitrite is 0, Nitrate is 0. The only thing I didn't check is pH, which has been unusually high ever since I established the tank. Could never lower...

    Hello!! So for context i received my fish as a gift about a year ago, ever since he never seem to be sick. He lives in a 22 litters tank, all by himself, but recently his fins seems to be tearing. He doesn't present any abnormal behaviour or stress signs, he's eating normally and very active...

    Hi, my Betta Fish started acting weird a few days ago (around last Sunday May 21st and Monday May 22nd). I first noticed she was staying still in the bottom of the tank after a water change but I don’t know if it started then or after. She is still staying in the bottom for long periods, sinking...

    Hi! I recently purchased a male rose petal betta from PetSmart and I think he might be sick. From what I’ve read it sounds like either constipation or dropsy, but I’ve tried KanaPlex for two days now and it’s not getting any better. I also have not seen him eat a thing since I got him (2 weeks...

    I really need help, and there’s some form I’m supposed to fill out but I can’t find it. And I have no idea how to copy and paste or whatever. I feed my fish twice a day and change their water weekly. She hasn’t been eating, a she hides in my castle decoration ALL the time. What should I do...
