I've had many bettas but this is the sweetest betta I've ever had... A few months ago, his behavior suddenly changed (more hiding) and he became very tired. I actually tried bettafix and could not believe it when it helped. But the symptoms slowly came back. A few days ago he became worse. He...

Hello, my fish's name is Ray and since I moved into my college dorm with him about a week and a half ago, he's gotten really lethargic. Once he stopped swimming around and started laying at the bottom of his tank, only swimming up to breathe, I did a 100% clean of his tank and ordered amonia...

Hi everyone, My poor guy has had a discolouration on the top of his head for quite some time now. In the last few days, it has completely spread to cover his face and his right eye. I believe his right eye is blind now as he has trouble with coordination when it comes to eating and his...

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

Hi! So I've posted a couple times before, continuously trying to figure out what's ailing Ruuti - He's been sick for several months now and he's starting to show signs of ulcer-like sores. I treated him for fungal infections first (after conservative treatments like water changes and aquarium...

I have two filters that I need to disinfect. I am not sure how to go about this by using chemicals, without ruining them. I would like to make sure I get them completely clean before ever using them again. I also have a glass heater and a ceramic heater, some rocks, and a few silk betta plants...

Hello, please call me Emily. I have a urgent question about my Betta Fish, Damon. I must first admit I was an idiot because I believed that the filter cleaned the tank for me, my poor baby was in a nasty tank for 8 months. I feel so bad but that if not the point now! Yesterday I went to...
