First off, I've never posted here before, so apologies if I mess this up! Please let me know if I should be posting somewhere else/did this incorrectly. I have a betta (named Kylo) that I got from Petco back in June. He's usually very active, swimming around his tank and eating 3-4 pellets a...

Hello, my betta has been staying at the bottom of his tank a bit more than usual the past two weeks but was still eating fine and when he wasn't at the bottom of the tank, he is energetic as ever. His dorsal fin and tail also have become slightly lighter blue at the tops (his fins are a darker...

Hi, I have a 5 gal cycled and planted tank with an under gravel filter bubbling through a mesh baffle. Ammonia, nitrite, nitrate and pH are all okay, but a day and a half ago I put in a small filter on its lowest flow rate to try and clean up the bottom of the tank a little more. Now my betta...

My betta tank was leaking the other day so I went out and bought a new one. I was replacing the Aqueon Mini Bow1 with the same exact tank. I saved all of the water from the old tank in a bag and immediately dumped it in the new tank. I was so excited to get him in a non leaking tank I but him...

For the past couple of weeks our betta has been laying on the bottom of the tank on his side breathing heavy. He seems to have lost most of his color. I dont know exactly how big his tank is but I want to say its about 6 inches X 6 inches. Does anybody know what could be wrong with him? and how...

So here's the background... My fish's fins were looking really ratty, so I fully cleaned his tank, did a 50% water change and gave him pimafix. After a week, I did a 25% water change and then gave him pimafix for another week followed by another 25% water change. He was looking good and very...

A friend of mine got a betta fish from Petco who looked deformed. She wanted to save him however he was just terrible. She put him in a vase and he was dying so I brought him into my room where I have a 1 gallon hospital tank and 82 degree temperature. My water is free of ammonia amd nitrites...

This morning I got up and found my betta laying somewhat sideways on his rocks. I observed him for a while & noticed that the bottom of his thermometer was broken & all of the red metal beads that were in the glass are nowhere to be found. My betta is mostly blind from a tumor he's had for about...

My betta, Norman, is not doing well. He is in a 1 1/2 gallon bowl with rocks and a live plant on the bottom. There is also a sweet potato vine at the top (I keep the roots trimmed and he's always liked to hide in the roots). For the last several days he has been very lethargic, just sitting...

I've had my betta for about a month now, and he's been fine, but within the past few days he's been hanging out at the bottom of the tank. Two days ago I noticed that he keeps trying to bury his head in the stones at the bottom of his tank. This morning I found him like that, and when I gave him...
