  1. Betta Fish Diseases and Emergencies
    I have a 10 gallon tank, with a whisper filter and heater. I used to have 4 fish (3 tetra and a betta) but 2 of the tetras have recently passed (I think foem over feeding). I've checked my water and everything seems to be in acceptable levels. I had let some alge build up and finally scrapped it...

    Hey! New to the site. Tank is 10 gallons, heated. There used to be 4 fish total (my betta, and 3 tetras) but two tetras passed away recently, I think due to over feeding. Going to get new tetras. I haven't been the best at keeping the tank clean so there was a bad alge problem. Got some plants...

    I will be away for 6 days and have an automatic fish feeder to feed my betta. I’ve set it up and have been testing it out for a few days, I’ve witnessed it go off maybe three times, and it either dropped nothing or only dropped one pellet. However, when I tested it on a napkin on the table...

    Hello, 2 weeks ago I got my first betta fish. He is a dual colored halfmoon if I am not mistaken. Recently I have noticed that his tail fin has started turning translucent. Since he is the first fish that I have owned I don't know if it might be fin rot or is just something that could happen to...

    Hello! Name's Amy. I'm a beginner and I just brought home my first betta fish yesterday only to find him pacing the glass of his tank for hours today. I cycled my tank for weeks beforehand and tested the water regularly so I don't know what could be causing his stress! I have a bunch of plants...

    I just joined this forum and it looks awesome, as I said in the title I will be getting my first betta fish and betta fish tank! I know that bettas should have a minimum tank space of 2 gallons, do you think I should invest in a more expensive 5 gallon aquarium or a cheaper 2.5? Another question...

    Hi there! I'm brand new to fishkeeping and for my first fish I got a betta, Fiji! He's kept in a 5 gal tank with two java ferns, a moss ball, and a golden mystery snail friend: Eden. I'm super excited to learn more about fishkeeping and fish in general and get better at the hobby so one day I...

    I am getting a new betta soon and already have the tank cycled and ready to go. One thing that I am a little confused about, however, is the idea of quarantining the new fish. I’ve read many articles on the importance of quarantining, but they all site keeping the existing plants and animals in...

    A bit of background: I have a royal blue male betta named Sunny. My dad bought him on a whim someday (about 2 months ago), and had him kept in a tiny bowl. After a few weeks after being kept in there, my parents bought him a slightly bigger (double in size) bowl, but isn't even a half gallon. I...

  12. Betta Fish Bowls, Habitats, and Accessories
    I just changed to a bigger bowl and I would like to know if the way it is set up is okay. I will add pictures for reference. One of my concerns/questions is his breathing. Now that the bowl is taller than the old one he has to swim higher to get air, is that normal/okay? Second question is, when...
  13. Betta Fish Diseases and Emergencies
    I'm going to save some time and tell you that I was NOT prepared in the way I should have been when I purchased my bettas. I used to have them as a kid, but I wasn't the one who really took care of them. I am a teacher, and I thought the fish would liven up the classroom. I made a lot of...
  14. Planted Betta Tanks
    So, I am going to Petsmart to pick up a new tank in about 1.5-2 hours and I would like to get some plants. I am thinking I will just get silk plants, but I may get real ones. What would you recommend for a beginner? I don't want to over plant either.

    Hello! I'm new to fish care, as stated above. I had a betta named Percy who died recently of Ich, and i was wondering if anyone had any fish care tips to prevent my new fish from suffering the same fate as Percy.

    Hi guys, new to this website and a brand new betta owner! I just got my betta yesterday and I just had a couple questions: 1. How often should I do water changes? I did around 25%~ today 2. Should I be cleaning my filter at all? (It's a hang on filter) 3. I recently bought driftwood with an...

I'm planning on buying guppies tomorrow. Since I'm a beginner in guppies. Here are some questions I'd like to ask since there...
  19. Betta Fish Care
    Hello! I'm still very new to fish keeping, but I wanted to get some plants to put in my betta's tank to help stabilize ammonia so I don't have to worry so much about poisoning my fish because of random spikes. He's back at college with my roommate for a couple of weeks, I hope I don't come back...
