Hi, My siamese fighter has been quite poorly for a couple weeks now. I introduced some shrimp into his tank and he started losing his colour and going white. His fins became raggy with red streaks through them. We have been doing 10/20% daily water changes as when checked the nitrate level...

Hi all, We aren't very sure if it's fungus, general scale discolouration or he scraped his head in something on our betta. We left for 2 nights and came back to find it on his head. Water parameters were fine, temperature 26 degrees celcius us and was fed while we were away and a water change...

Hi all, Betta stopped eating suddenly, so started treatment with Paraguard for a week. Other than not eating, he is fine. Swimming around, blowing bubbles, fairly active. Stopped treatment and started Prazipro cuz I thought it might be an internal parasite. Immediately noticed a white scar or...

Recently, for the past few days my betta fish has refused to eat his food. It's been going on since friday I believe, so about 6 days now. I've had him for 9 months, and he's only had a problem with food once before because he didn't enjoy the food we were giving him (so we switched the brand)...

Hi, something is wrong with my betta fish. So I am somewhat new to owning a fish but my girlfriend has had them before and I have done lots of research on how to properly care for them so I like to think I know what I am doing. But this I don't know what to do about. So I got my betta around two...

Hi, I'm new to the world of bettas. I got mine a couple of weeks ago and he seems to be doing great so far. However, today I noticed some small fraying/holes in his fins. I looked it up and saw something called "pinhole finrot." I've attached some pictures, but I'm afraid they're not very clear...

I've had my betta for about a year now. He is not the most active but chills around moving slowly but for the past 2 days he's been hiding under a scuba helmet decoration in the tank. He still comes up to eat but it looks like he is struggling to swim. He has constantly flap front fins to stay...

I can't post a video but this is Cleetus. We have had him about a year now. He's always been rather lethargic but recently worryingly so. He lays on his side gasping all day and can't swim properly. He is bloated but even when I fast him he still is the same. I have tried swim bladder...

Hi there! I have a sick betta fish (Jaws, ~3 years) who lives in a 5 gallon by himself. He is bloated, breathing heavily, has white spots on his face, has red gills, and is usually on his side on the bottom or the tank. I initially thought it was swim bladder, but after I stopped feeding him two...

Below is a picture of my girlfriend's betta fish named Fieri. She noticed he looked like he had some sort of growth. First, she thought it was a fungus, so she gave him a treatment of Methylene Blue, but it only got worse. When she inspected the growth again, she saw that it was eating him, and...

My daughter's both have bettas and they both appear to be ill. Different tanks. One was purchased 4+ months ago. Everything was great until about 2 weeks ago after a water change. The tank had not been very dirty when we changed it, but after the change it almost immediately started getting...

I got my betta a month ago. Marino recently had fin rot which I cured with freshwater aquarium salt. He has improved a lot and I have slowly started taking the salt out of the tank. He has 10 gallon tank to himself. I sanded his rock decorations before putting them in and all the fake plants are...

I rescued my betta about two weeks ago and I'm worried his health is declining. Ever since I got him I've been trying to determine what he may have and based on his symptoms the only things I've been able to pin point potentially are: fin rot, based on the white coloring and fraying of his fins...

I only joined this forum so that I can fish cure for my beloved betta's disease.... He just healed from ich and now he has some brown cotton like things on the end of his tail. He can't swim... He tries, but he can't stay balanced... Housing: 4 Gallons A sponge filter Has a heater 28 degrees...

All of a sudden my betta fish’s one pectoral fin is very small and whithered away.. it looks like it just happened over night, I’m not too sure what happened, he hasn’t moved from one spot and if he does swim a little he doesn’t use that fin, when I give him good he just spits it back out. I’m...

I've had my fish is since its adolescence for 3 years now and I've noticed a tear and white around the tear in his fin. I don't know if I should be concerned about this or not his fins aren't white either so it's not a part of his pattern.

**included one photo from when he was healthy, one from the first couple days after getting the new tank (he’s at the bottom by the stone fixture). The other 3 were taken yesterday Housing: Marineland Portrait Glass Aquarium with hidden filtration. Find at...

Pudge, my betta, needs some serious help!! Housing: How many gallons is your tank? 5 gallons Does it have a filter? Yes Does it have a heater? Yes What temperature is your tank? 80F Does your tank have an air stone or other type of aeration? No Does your Betta have tank mates? What kind...

Hi everyone, I have an 8 year-old Betta named Shadow. He seems to have been growing/keeping a type of white fungus for the last two months despite treatment, and I do not know what to do next. I've attached photos below and filled out a form I saw in another thread. Thank you in advance for any...

Tank summary: **Tank** Image of water test as of 09-24-17. My nitrate levels were about 40-80ppm last wednesday. I did a 50% water change to bring them down to where they are now. I've been checking them to make sure they haven't shot up at all. I have a 10 gal tank, 0/0/10-20ppm...
