    So on Thursday last week I noticed that my betta, who I’ve had since March 2021, would only hang at the top left corner of my 10 gallon tank. At others times and later now he would hang and the bottom corners of the tank. As time past I noticed laying sideways and upside down. I also noticed...

    Hi guys! My babies, Venus (on the left) and Central (on the right) fins seem to be pretty clamped. I did a water test earlier and everything is ideal. They have a filtered and heated divided tank with Mopani wood. I think Central’s are more clamped the Venus’. Any suggestions?? Pictures are...

    I have been unsuccessful in helping my betta's clamped fins. A few months ago, I was able to stop the fin rot and promote re-growth of his top fin with an aquarium salt regime. It worked wonders! However, in the past month or so, I notice him suffering again from fin rot with his other fits. His...

    I came home yesterday and noticed that my betta, Po, was acting very lethargic and laying with fins clamped at the bottom of his tank. I tested the water and everything looked normal but I did a water change anyway but this had not helped. Now he is hiding in the back a terra-cotta pot (with no...

    Hey everyone! So I got Darwin about three months ago very suddenly. Aside from a tank and gravel, he came only with a pump, food, and purifier. Since then, I've gotten him a box filter and a gravel vac and I'm working on scrounging up some cash to get him a heater and a 3g tank. Since I've...

    I was doing homework when I looked over and saw my betta, Alan, acting strangely. He looked like he had a bit of of fin in his mouth (I've seen him eat parts of his fin before). He tried to swallow it a few times before getting it down. Then I noticed that he was gasping, but he stopped after a...

    Hey guys, I'm new here and pretty desperate for help. My about 10 months old male betta was fine one day and the next he was lazy and hit under tree and leaves. The next day I noticed that his fins had started sticking to each other and now they are worse and worse - even red spots are showing...

    Hey there everybody, I've got a stressed/ sick male betta for weeks now and I am out of ideas on how to help him. Currently has major clamped fins, losing color, lethargic, and hangs out near the top of the tall all day not moving. If he does move it's in frantic, sporadic dashes for a short...

    Hello all~ I purchased Luc, a white’pearl colored and grey marble halfmoon betta from a reliable and trusted LFS a while back. He lives in a heated, filtered 3.5 gallon tank with sand and a few live plants. He has AQ salt in his tank all the time and I dose with stresscoat. Lately he’s been more...

    I wanted to introduce my new boy, so here goes... I have had a planted 6.6 gallon tank waiting for a fish for a while now. Last week I finally decided to get a betta for it, so I went to my LFS where I had seen a lovely red delta tail the week before. He was still there, but looked absolutely...

    hey! i made a post here and the responses were helpful but not enough. I was wondering if you could help me understand a few things as I'm a new fish owner. My betta fish has internal parasites so i ordered API general care and was wondering how to preform a 100% water change properly? I have...

    2 days ago I noticed my dragon scale male has clamped fins. He's still active and is eating fine. I did a partial water change yesterday to see if that would help. He built a new bubble nest over night, but there's still no change in his fins. Could this be an indication of an illness? What can...

    I have a 9 week old baby boy betta that was doing great. He is in a divided 10 gallon aquarium so he has 5 gallons. I have had him for 3 weeks. Temp in water set at 80 and I test the water every other day. On Saturday I got a new betta for the other side. That one was extremely stressed. After...

    Hi Betta People, I'm brand new to Betta ownership. A friend got me a male Betta as a gift. My son named it "Power Fish." I received it in January. It's in a large vase that I'm guessing is around 1.5 gallons which came with some live plants that are rooted in this sort of mossy/cotton ball...

    Two days ago I noticed my betta had a small pinhole in his dorsal fin. I took him out of his 10 gallon put him in a 2.5 gallon QT and gave him the appropriate dosage of Bettafix. His hole healed over almost immediately, but this morning before leaving I thought I should keep him in with the...
