  1. Betta Fish Bowls, Habitats, and Accessories
    Hello everyone, First time posting on this forum. Anyway to give some context I currently have a short-finned male copper koi in a 3 gallon tank and he's been with me almost a month now. I got him from Petsmart and he got sick for a while, didn't eat for a week, was just at the bottom gasping...
  2. Planted Betta Tanks
    Me and my kid noticed a strange muck on the surface of our tank's water. On the top, it is a greenish-white. On the bottom it is brownish and is attaching to two leaves of one of our plants. It looks like a gel, or it has gel in it. We're not sure about it - what is it? Is it hurting our...

    Hello, everyone! So, after moving my Betta, Crooked, to his new enclosure, I now have an empty 3.5 Gallon tank sitting idle. I've been pondering what to put in it for a while now, but am new to the aquarium scene and don't know what kind of creature would be happy and comfortable in a tank this...

    I recently bought a crowntail and noticed his tail is quite skinny. I also notice that on many other bettas. Some crowntails have very wide, spread fins. Is this stress related? Or are they just bred differently? Or is it age related? I'll post pictures when I can of my boy compared to other boys
  5. Betta Fish Diseases and Emergencies
    Hi everyone. I’m new to the forum and I was wondering if anyone could help me figure out what’s wrong with my betta. I’m wondering if maybe he has fin rot or if there is something else wrong with him. He was in with some neon tetras and they were nipping him so I moved him to a different tank...

    Hello, I've had my sweet veil tail for about 3.5 years now. I went on a business trip last week and had my friend feed him for me for the ~8 days I was gone. When I got back I noticed this white spot on his head. When I took a pic it looked like a scratch but I'm wondering if someone with a more...

    Does anybody have experience with a spadetail betta? I have looked for a spadetail betta for sale and nobody sells them, a few sites says they have all but disappeared. Some say they were popular in the 90s. Does anybody know who sells spadetail bettas, or what combination of fish breeds with...

    Hello! I have a 10-gallon tank and wanted to get some ideas for tank companions for my female betta. Also, if a 10-gallon is too small to house anything but my female betta, please let me know! :smile2:

    After a three-year break, I'm back into the aquarium keeping business with a 29 gallon tank. My local pet shop currently has an established female sorority and my new tank can take all of them, so of course I want all of them. It'll actually be a size upgrade for them. My question is, how should...

    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...

    Hello! I've just got back from a three week trip abroad. While I was gone, I had a friend of mine take care of my Betta, Rune. I had just changed the water a few days before I left as I had started to notice a little bit of red beginning to form on his fin close to his body. I told my friend to...

    I'm mostly just curious as I have no plans to breed him, I just think he looks cool. I got him from a petsmart, but even after a week in good water, his coloring hasn't changed much (beyond getting a bit of metallic/shiny blue at the very very tips of his tailfin, which can't be seen in the...

    So I have an older male betta fish in his own separate tank currently, but I'm hoping to move him into my community tank that has two male mollies and a plato in it. The mollies seem like they're not aggressive even though they're both males, but they do chase each other often though there's no...

    I just got my betta tank one week ago Saturday. It is a 5.5 gallon with a filter and heater with the temperature set to 80 degrees. I didn't know anything about cycling before I got my fish... I (unfortunately) went by the advice of the petsmart where I got my fish. They told me to set up the...

Will it make the tank too hot? Anything I should watch out for? Should I return it and invest in one...
