  1. Breeding Betta Fish
    Hello dear fish friends! I’ve got a betta fish breeding question. All the pet stores keep betta fish in these tiny cups. I feel so bad for them. I’m interested in breeding quality, healthy betta fish. However I’m still learning about the best way to keep them. I know some people keep them...

    Hello! I have heard that a baffle should be added to the filter output to calm the outflow for betta fish. I took a prefilter, cut it in half, and placed it over the spout of my hang-on-back. This greatly reduced the flow. However, I was worried about not having enough air in the water. There...

    Hello everyone! I recently decided to start my journey into getting my first Betta. I’ve done a bunch of research and have already gotten my tank set up and added two plants (a marimo ball, and an anubias). I also have some giant duckweed coming in the mail that I’ll be keeping in a corner...

    I have a betta fish that we assume has a fungal infection, and we have been watching her closely for awhile. Today we had her in this little jar I use when I take my fish out, and after she was done I put it back under my sink. Later, I used that same jar to scoop some water out of my split 10...

    Hey, i’m a new betta fish owner and I got my little guy Shiro from Petco a week ago. A week before I got my betta, I set up my 10 gallon tank for him with use from my mother’s healthy freshwater aquarium, I let the dirty filter settle with my 10 gallons of dechlorinated water for a week and then...
  8. Breeding Betta Fish
    Hey everyone, I have a few questions as a very new betta fish owner/breeder. A few days ago I tried pairing two betta fish and it was going well, or so I thought. The tank was too small, roughly 1L maybe, and it was going very well, I had a female betta in a cut out water bottle placed in the...

    Mr. Richards has been recovering from mild fin rot that he had when we got him from the pet store. He's been doing really well lately, but then all these little patches showed up and I'm a little concerned, especially because I don't think the ones on his top fin showed up until today. His top...

    1: Can the fry eat baby brine shrimp as their first meal? 2: Can I hatch the brine shrimp without an air pump? 3: Can I try limiting the number of eggs the pair lays? 4: I have read that the fry will be OK in colder temperatures and if there is no heater in the tank they will just grow up to be...

    Hi all. I was doing my 25% water changes for my 5gallon tank once a week and all my levels were great. Until this week... Life happens and I had two teeth extracted so unfortunately, Meeseeks missed his water change date plus some extra days. And his fast day. :crying: I know, I know. Finally...

    Newbie here. So I tested Meeseeks water pH last night at he was sitting pretty at a solid 7.0 in his 5 gallon tank. Pre-fish I used API tap water conditioner and that wasn't cutting it (the pH levels in my state are VERY hard/alkaline, lots of limestone). I didn't want to keep pouring it in the...

    Hello everyone, Earlier today I got the Aqueon Betta Bowl 2.5 for my fish, its a upgrade to his 1.5 tetra cube gallon. I placed him in the tank, and he looked extremely confused which makes sense, since it isn't his 1st home. I have also returned back home from my university;he sat in the cup...

    I've been researching and expanding my knowledge on diseases and sicknesses for Bettas. So I'll know whats going on when my fish acts strange and such. I came across the "New tank syndrome" and I have a rather aching question. IF a fish has the "New Tank Syndrome" and you have a spare tank could...

    Recently..I have been noticing that my Betta just sits on top of my heater and doesn't swim around like he use to. The water is at normal parameters, he is 100% healthy. The water is warm. And everytime I do a full clean of the tank, I move around the decorations so that he gets new views each...
