Hi my fish is sick I think. I went to go get his water tested today at PetSmart and the lady said the water was okay, so I moved my betta into the new tank I got him. I got him the tank last week and it’s 3.5 gallons. The tank has a filter and a heater and I also conditioned the water last week...

I got Colonel Fish five days ago because he looked quite pitiful at the pet store. I could tell he wasn't in the best of shape, but I was going to take him home for that very reason. His dorsal fin is severally curled. I haved been able to find out anything like this when I scoped the internet...

Hi everybody,I'm new here. I got my daughter this beta fish Monday and today I noticed his gills were black so I went online to try to find out if it was normal, and sadly it isn't. Can someone tell me if this is "ammonia burn" and by looking at the pictures if it would be deadly or if it can be...

Hi everyone! I'm new to this site, but I have a Betta that has been doing decently since I got him from Petco. Took him a week or so to start swimming, but since then he's been swimming a lot and pretty happy. I've had trouble with keeping this brownish grey slime in his tank away, but I do...

I feel like a terrible fish mommy. All three of my betta fish have black gills, and from what I have read it's bad, but none of them have trouble breathing and swim just fine. Any ideas? I've been having a challenge keeping the tanks clean with limited money and living in a pretty humid...

I got my betta fish, Finn, about a year ago. As soon as I noticed something was wrong, I changed the water in his tank, and I treat the water before I put him back in. It's been about 2 days and nothing has changed. He is vertical in his tank, with his mouth at the top like he's gasping for...
