    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! Usually, I'd post in r/BettaFish but nobody will definitely see it or even comment. These are the clearest pictures I could get, and I didn't wanna chase her around the tank like a maniac😭 The photos: For context, I first got Tuna (who is also my first Betta) when my cousin gave her...

    I am in the process of planning a 10g tank for a yet to select male betta. I have a great theme in mind for the aqua-scape. It will include live plants and custom printed décor. I have been researching how to be sure these pieces are safe for fish and plants but as a newbie I am looking for...

    I have a new betta named Gretta. my niece named him. :) He was gifted to me since I’m alone and mostly homebound with disabilities and have been lonely. I’m glad to find this group. I’ve needed encouragement. I’m doing the best I can and some places I look for advice can leave me feeling judged...

    I just received a new betta as a gift, she's absolutely adorable and very tiny: so I'm assuming she's a baby? I was told she's an elephant ear, and she is so so gorgeous!!! (the pics don't do her any justice 😅) I've had Asami, partial crowntail, for 6 months now. She is fully grown and has...

    I'm writing a few days after I noticed the apparent injury, however, it doesn't seem to be getting better so I'm reaching out to yall. I went on vacation for about a week and during that time I had a friend feeding my fish including Celeste. I noticed his bottom fins seem to have disappeared...

    hi I’m Aaron and I’m 14 years old and I have a betta Pancho in a 5 gallon tank and he’s not eating since Monday and has been hiding all day and only comes up for air every once in a while. This is my fault because I didn’t know about the nitrogen cycle and did a weak cycle on his tank so he had...

    The story of how I got Uppy is an interesting one. I originally had bought a Halfmoon Male unaware of some concerning health problems. Sadly after about 2 days, I came to the decision to return him as I did not feel ready to try and care for a very sick betta. Hopefully, Petco can help. After...

    Hello! I am a new betta fish owner. I’ve been doing my research, finding the right heater which has been frustrating. I’ve read that they can explode, overheat, underheat, burn the fish if touched, and more. I’ve looked at reviews for each brand of heater and it makes me more anxious choosing...

    Hello All. I'm new to these forums but I doubt I can find anywhere else to post where someone else would care so much about a betta. I picked up a betta fish at the store today hoping he could be saved. Worst that could happen is I lose like 6 bucks, best case scenario I have another betta. Off...

    I got my first every betta fish about a week ago when my 14yo daughter made me stand and look at all the sad bettas living in tiny cups at Petco. $100+ dollars later we headed home with saddest little guy that we thought had no chance of adoption so we rescued him. He's in a 5 gallon with a...
  13. Betta Fish Care
    Hello! I got a betta for my birthday the other day (I'd been talking about wanting one for a while, so it wasn't a total surprise, but I wasn't quite prepared for it). It's currently living in the little "betta kit" tank (pics attached), but I want to upgrade to something better. I've done some...

    Hey All, I am not super new to keeping Bettas, but it has been around 8 years. A friend of mine wanted to get rid of his 20 gal tank (it has an ADF) and gave it to me so I could get back into keeping fish. I haven't picked up a new betta yet, but I am super excited. My last betta I had went on...

    Hello, everyone! I am very shy, so you may hardly hear from me unless it's worrisome questions or I have good pictures to share. I like to loiter forums quietly and just learn. I'm a person with high anxiety and a long-time obsession with Betta fish. Owning a Betta as a child was disastrous as...

    hey so I don't really think there is anything wrong with my fish I am just mildly curious, but I believe my betta is not a morning fish. Kind of like how some people are not morning people and refuse to wake up without coffee. My husband and I wake up for work every day at 6:00 am. I can't say...
  17. Betta Fish Compatibility
    I have a ten gallon tank set up with one Red Double-Tail Betta and two Guppies (unknown species) and my betta seems to think that he owns the whole tank and will constantly chase the guppies. Can I get my betta to have a select portion of the tank claimed as his territory as his own? I really...

    Hi, everyone. I'm sure you get a lot of posts like this, but I'm a new betta owner, and I have just discovered... a lot of mistakes! I tried to do my research before getting one, but clearly I didn't do enough. I hope you can help me! My new betta, who I've had for about a week, is a...

    Hi all! I used to keep Bettas when I was younger. For some reason, it seemed so easy back then! (I guess ignorance really IS bliss!) I got my son a 10 gallon tank with filter, heater etc. We introduced 3 goldfish and they died within two days. (Ammonia way too high) Four weeks later we have...
