This was when I first got him. He was living in a cold environment with unchanged water/filter and algae growing in the filter. Also, the pink rocks were taking away his color imo. They were too bright. It was horrible. The picture below is an update after a week of having him. I added a...

Hello all, I became a first time fish keeper 3 weeks ago and got a beautiful (I think double tail) Betta fish. He was initially really lively, eating a lot and very active, but he also used to twitch from time to time and surf the glass but I thought it was normal behaviour. A few days ago he...

Preface to this: Went out to the bird and flower market to pick up some succulents for some terrarium jarring projects and accidentally wandered into fish store section, and found bettas. First time I saw bettas in a bird and flower market and before I knew it, I was lugging two tanks and two...

So I came home to find that my betta's fins are in complete shreds and I've noticed that there is some greenish/yellow/grey discoloration in the areas that are most severely damaged. It looks like his fins are disintegrating/decaying. This is mostly on his caudal fins. My betta is a male...

Hello everyone! I'm Austin, a just-recently betta fish owner! His name is Ghost, and is a double-tailed betta. I have a question regarding my biology class, and I figured this is a good place to ask. Now, I need to record its respiration daily, meaning I have to see how much my fish breathes per...

Hi all! About three weeks ago- I rescued a beautiful but very, very sick betta from the relative of a friend. The betta had such severe finrot and ammonia poisoning I did not expect him to live, but with lots of care and medication he has improved and seems to be thriving! I am thrilled! His...

I have a Double Tail Male, and he's naturally very friendly and enthusiastic. He's been very healthy, swimming around all day and wagging around whenever a family member or I come to check on him. So it's very sudden that he started seeming unwell, just yesterday. Yesterday, I checked up on him...

My double tail Shay is freakishly sensitive to constipation. He used to eat and not have this problem, but now even after a tiny meal [1-2 pellets] once a day, he gets constipated. Even if the food is pre soaked. he used to eat aqueon pellets, but now eats omega one and NLS pellets. I have a...

I've been meaning to show my baby boy off, but for the lack of an aquarium light I have had no way of getting a good picture of him. And so, I got my new aquarium lights in and caught a few good pictures of my new Multicolour DT, Sir PrissyFins! (Northern Lights Jealousy) Why is he called this...

Hello, A few months ago I bought a cellophane double tail. Well, I discovered shortly after that he is actually marble, and he has since changed colour and become a beautiful deep green. Anyways, somewhere along the way his double tail became larger and larger, and he now looks like a half moon...

I picked up this little boy yesterday. Hes so tiny and cute, but the more i think about it, he doesnt look like your average double tail betta. Hes just so small, and his tail shape isnt anything like my other double tail, Sokka. Hes currently unnamed..iv youve got a non-generic, but nice and...

Hi guys I've had my boy killian for a few days now and he's doing great :) he had so much personality. He loves to flare and explore. I also found out tonight that he loves to bite fingers. I've been searching and searching and I just can't figure out what color he's considered. I was hoping...

But this gorgeous little boy cried out to me to take him home. We actually popped in to get the last few bits to finish setting up a cycled, planted, 20 gallon long tank. We walked past the bettas (because I can't go into a pet store without looking at them... I just need an an entire house...

Got two new gorgeous double tails today to add to my family. Need some name help?? (Will upload other pic iphone is dumb)

I really like the look of Super Gold colored bettas, but if I ever got some to breed I'd want them to sell obviously so which tail type would you recommend I buy? Half Moon, HMPK or Double Tail? I have seen some very nice ones in each tail type.

Hello fellow betta lovers, I recently found this little cutie at Petco. I hate how they keep the bettas in such little cups and never seem to look after them. Each time I go, it seems as if at least half of the bettas are dead in their cups by the end of the week. :( Anyway, here is my little...

Hey guys, my double tail Spickles has been acting like he is having some swim bladder issues lately. He tends to lean against the side of the tank and lay sideways in his plant. When he tries to swim to the bottom, it looks like he is fighting to get down. He is currently in a large vase...

So I'm pretty sure I'm dealing with SBD in Mr. Squishy :-( He is a double tail with a crooked spine. We got him about 2 weeks ago to go into my daughter's 20g tank. 3 days ago, we found him bloated and swimming at the top of his tank, acting pretty normal except a bit freaked out about not...

His name is Poseidon :love:
