  1. Betta Fish Care
    Hello, Back in September I joined this forum to get help with my Betta fish after facing countless issues and here we are in February and now he is doing great thanks to you'll :). He is a male Twintail Halfmoon and the picture attached below is how he originally looked when I purchased him...
  2. Betta Fish Care
    Hello! It is me again, the clueless teacher who inherited a betta fish when I took over a new classroom. I've gotten his tank cleaned, am working on stabilizing the ph to better levels, and am possibly getting a larger tank a coworker isn't using, but I have another issue. His water was cold...
  3. Betta Fish Diseases and Emergencies
    Hello! I have never kept a fish before and have inherited a sweet Betta when I took over a classroom at my school. I can tell the tank is too small but I'm more alarmed by the fact that the previous keepers of said fish have never changed the water, apparently. I am uncertain how old the fish...

    My betta has a bad habit of biting his tail when bored. The last time it got pretty bad before I figured out he needed a change in scenery. I ended up getting a new hide and adding some additional plants. He's started doing it again, and I want to mix things up before it gets too bad. The...

    Hello! I'm a first-time fish owner and I've had my current tank for about 6–7 months now. A few weeks ago, Ky (my male Twintail Halfmoon Betta) started swimming horizontally and was extremely lethargic. It also appeared as though he couldn't really keep himself afloat and would just turn...

    Hi! I am in the planning stages of getting a male Betta. I have my 10gal tank (was supposed to be my husbands quarantine tank for his saltwater addiction) and I am deciding what type of aquascape I want to give him. I’m not even sure what type of Betta I plan to get yet!! I want to be sure I...
  8. Betta Fish Care
    I've went away unexpectedly for almost 2 months and the person who was taking care of my two aquariums did not do any cleaning or water changes at all! The person did manage to keep them alive so at least there's that, but they both look pretty bad. At least they are still eating. I have 1 in a...

    hi! I actually got my betta by accident at my state fair. they were kinda just giving them away so I took her home and.... proceeded to spend over 200 dollars on her lol. I knew prior to having a betta that they needed a lot more care than chain stores like to advertise. she's in a well planted...
  10. Betta Fish Diseases and Emergencies
    Hello, I've recently noticed that my betta fish began to become lethargic these past few days and his stomach isn't swelled up too much but he is pine coning slightly, he isn't willing to eat at all and he isn't as interactive as he was before. I need help on what exactly I should do because I...
  11. Betta Fish Diseases and Emergencies
    Hi everyone. We got our first Betta fish, Ginger, 2 days ago from a local aquatics store. At first I thought he had speckles on him, but on looking closer they are actually little holes in his fins. I’ve also noticed black tips at end of his fins, which at first we thought was his colouring as...

Currently I only have one betta in there. A few quick questions. 1. How do you think it looks? 2. How do I get rid of Algae? 3. Possible...

  14. Other Fish
    I'm just getting back into fishkeeping after 11 years, and I'd like to try something new this time. I used to have a betta in a 2.5g, and platys in a 10g and they were fun, but this time I'd like to get a 10 gallon tank with a betta and some cory cats and create a planted aquascape. I'm going to...
  15. Betta Fish Compatibility
    Hi everybody, after a long research I have decided that I would like to purchase a Betta fish but I need an advice about their tank mates. I don't like snails and shrimp because I'm afraid they will breed uncontrolably but Kuhli Loaches seem interesting enough. Do you think that they would breed...
  16. Betta Fish Diseases and Emergencies
    hello, I joined in order to get some advice. We have a male black orchid betta who has a white patch on his head. It's been about a week (i think) since we noticed it. At first we thought it was ick but treatment did nothing. He still eats, makes lots of bubbles as usual and greets me when he...

    Hey y'all! I've noticed my betta has these odd spots on his back and am not sure what they are to treat them effectively. Housing: How many gallons is your tank? 3.5 Does it have a filter? yes Does it have a heater? yes What temperature is your tank? Not sure, but it is a 10 watt heater Does...
  18. Planted Betta Tanks
    I have a betta in a 10 gallon tank. I do have some floating plants currently but brought some more plants to be put in the tank. I also brought some ADA Aqua Soil (version 2), but I’ve heard that it leeches ammonia and takes around 3-4 weeks maybe longer. I do not want to take the fish out of...
