  1. Betta Fish Diseases and Emergencies
    Hello! I recently got a Koi betta about a month ago and he is a beautiful orange/blue/red color! He is currently my profile picture. However, recently, between Feb 19-Feb 28 his body has been turning black and I am unsure what I am witnessing. I know that there is a thing such as marbling that...
  2. New Member Introductions
    Hello, I'm a new member, just joined today.I just got my betta fish, Starbuck, yesterday. He's a very pretty fish but I don't know much more about him. This is not my first betta fish, as I did have a red veil tail years ago on my desk at work. Back then, I didn't know much and kept him in a...

    Hello all, I'm pretty sure this is fin rot, but before I medicate with AQ salt I wanted a second opinion. A few weeks ago my betta bit off about half his tail. A few days later the end got a little darker. Wondering if it's fin rot or just fin regrowth. Housing: How many gallons is your tank...

    Nipped his fins just days after I owned him and added him to a 10 gallon heated tank. Never got better over the year I owned him, handed him to my other care taker thinking a cleaned tank will help his fins. Came back to the poor fish like this.... Waaaaay worse than I imagined. Can someone...

    Hey folks! I've been a LONG time lover of Betta fish and aspiring breeder for recreation. I have been following these forums for a long time but haven't actually had the time to make myself an account to post with you bettalovers! I recently picked up this pretty boy at Petco (Though I was...

    Hello. I am new to this website! I need your expertise on curing my male crowntail betta of what I'm suspecting is "Fur Coat Syndrome". Or velvet? I am in the process of getting him a heated and better filtered tank in the near future. I think it's Fur Coat...but I also think it could be...
  7. Betta Spawn Logs
    parents spawning (9 photos) can be referenced here: http://www.bettafish.com/showthread.php?t=449522 fry hatched today. cannot determine the number because the male moved the nest location to the back of the tank (which will make it difficult to take pictures), but they have indeed hatched...
  8. Betta Pictures
    it's hard to get a really good pic because his tank is round and he is 1 inch long and afraid of the camera but i gave him some brine shrimp and he didn't run from the camera! :twisted: he looks so surprised.
  9. Betta Fish Diseases and Emergencies
    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...

  11. Betta Fish Diseases and Emergencies
    Hello, I am very new to posting anything to this forum. I always come here for advice for my bettas. I believe I need to ask this myself. I have Betta fish that was giving to me for free by a petshop owner, that started my fascination with Bettas. I've had him for about 4 months now. My tank...

  13. Betta Fish Diseases and Emergencies
    Hello, I signed up for this forum because so far all of my research for keeping a betta led me here. I bought my betta about three weeks ago, he was the least sickliest looking of the bunch at Petco. Since bringing him home he's been eating well and his colors have come back from being very...
  14. Breeding Betta Fish
    Introductions. I spawned bettas successfully numerous times when I was in my early teens, got the fry past the yolk sac stage, then had them die off. This was before there was much info on genetics or fry rearing via the internet so all I had to go off of was a sparse handbook I had picked up...

    So I have an 8 Gal Nano Cube for my little guy. Plants, filters, heaters, LEDS, the whole 9 yards. But the very ends of his tail fin is getting a little ripped, even though there is nothing that could catch it? He also has some black pigments....his is a white opalescent fish so it is really...

    Hi! I am new to this site, though I have been looking at it pretty often the past few days because I just got a new betta fish. I decided to sign up because I couldn't find the answer to my current question. I don't know if I am seeing things or what, but my betta fish keeps changing the...
