    I am still very new to the hobby and the forum, so please forgive any obvious mistakes. Yesterday I got a betta to go in a small tank in the bedroom. The tank is not cycled as I decided to go with fish-in-cycling, using filter media from an already established tank, along with Tetra Safe Start...

    Hi everyone, We have a young male betta we purchased from PetSmart on Feb 18, 2020. He had a dark blue spot on the top right side of his head near his gills when we got him, but we thought nothing of it other than a 'character mark'. Here's a picture of him when we received him: The spot has...

    NO SIGNS of lethargy He has been quarantined in this fish bowl for now. His tank is a 5 gallon with a cory cat. Period. Water is Reverse Osmosis. I DID do weekly 25%water changes I got him 4 months ago, was perfect. About a week and a half ago, he started looking like this. Went to aquarium...

    When I bought my little betta (whom I have named Dragon) he had a light gray marking on his head that would shine almost white when the LEDs in the hood of my tank shined on it. Today is the 6th day that I've had him and I noticed that now the spot has become this cresent shape. I think maybe...

    Hi. I just looked at my betta, and just noticed a bright red raised spot on my betta head above his eye. The scales all around the spot are faded and 'dead' looking. It looks like the top of a yellowhead spot but red. I look at Cosmo every day and have only just noticed it. Any ideas what it is...

    Hello, A few days ago, I noticed an unusual white spot on Sassy. Something spooked her while she was eating breakfast, and she darted around the tank before hiding in her log. When she finally came out, I noticed a white spot on her left side not very far from her "egg spot." I assumed at...

    I have two male betta fish, Asher and Cloud, in a divided five gallon tank (filtered). A few days ago, I noticed that the very back portion of Cloud's top fin was suddenly very short and there was a section that seemed stiff. This morning, I noticed that at the base where the fin started there...

    This is my brand new betta, I brought him home just a few hours ago. He had this dark blotch on him in the store and he still has it. Right in the middle of his body, on only one side. I hope you can see it in the picture. I've just acclimated him and put him in the 10-gallon. He is swimming...

    Hi Everyone! My betta has recently developed a large spot on the top of his head and I'm not sure if it could be a fungal or bacterial disease. Would anyone be able to help us diagnose him? Thanks! Mike

    I realized my betta is crazy about this pink rubber plant he's had ever since I bought him. He burrows his body in there and becomes completely invisible. Some times he only sticks his little head out like a little eel.. haha. Does your betta have a favorite hiding spot?

    Found Cobalt this morning with strange pink spots on his scales. It's like his blue scales have turned a pink, fleshy color (picture attached). It's been over a year since I've had him and this has never happened. I'm thinking it may be related to the mini-cycle I am finishing up since I changed...

    Hello All, I originally posted here on 8/9/12, when I noticed my fish had a "blotch" on him. Well, it stayed the same for a while, so I thought is was just coloring, as another member had suggested. As of a few days ago, there has been a change. Now it has turned into a white spot. I'm...

    Cobalt has been acting strangely the past few days. He continually paces in front of the acrylic, and flares occasionally. I figured this was fairly normal since he has to get used to seeing his reflection, etc. So this morning I went to his tank and found he has developed an odd white spot on...

    My betta, Cacciato has a black spot on his right pectoral fin. As far as I can tell it isn't bothering him but I'm not an expert. Here are some pictures: http://kichwahya.deviantart.com/#/d3ajpry He has had this since I first got him from petco about 4 weeks ago. If you want to know his...

    Hello, My husband and I just got our Betta last Thursday and he has been swimming around and eating just fine. The only thing is that I have noticed that he has a white spot (or what looks like a white spot) on each of his eyes. These were not there yesterday. When I first looked at our...
