So I have had my betta for just over a year now. He has been in a 3.5 gallon tank, and now I am finally able to move him to a bigger tank. from a 3.5 gallon tank with no live plants, he is being upgraded to a 10 gallon planted tank! I did so much research on everything in this tank to make...

This is Poppy. I got her in May and she had a deep blueish purple colour. She’s always been healthy and we maintain her tank and feed her once daily, sometimes twice. She commonly lays eggs however the other night she laid almost 100 and lost most of her colour. Her colour has been getting...

This is my first time caring for betta fry. They are 8 days old and I'm feeding them bbs since 2 days. I didn't know this but I just read a post that the fry will die if they eat the unhatched eggs. I can see a lot of the eggs in the bottom (or maybe some of them are hatched bbs which died...

Before I cleaned my bettas tank there were bubbles at the top so immediately I thought it was a bubble nest. But, when I took half of the water out, the bubbles stuck to the side of the tank and did not pop (as shown in the pictures) are these snail eggs?

Hello I have a 5 gallon planted aquarium with a betta and 2 mystery snails, I think that's what there called.One is yellow or orange in color and the other is White or grayish. When I got home tonight I realized that there where these little white things in my tank. I'm not sure what they are...

My female betta has an awfully large stomach. It is not Dropsy, because I lost my last betta to Dropsy and she acts nothing like he did. She eats eagerly, is active, and her scales are not pineconing. However, she still is very big. I at first thought she was bloated/constipated, and fasted her...

Hey! I'm new to Betta breeding and this forum! Sooo, I decided to take my love for Bettas a step further and breed them for the first time! I conditioned the pair for two weeks with Palembus Dermestoides (also known as Cancer Beatles) larvae. I also set up a ten gallon tank with an almond leaf...

Just wondering how I go about changing water when there are eggs in the bubble nest (and of course when the fry are swimming about!) Cheers

Hi Everyone, I'm completely new at this. I only have experience in breeding guppies. (Not much to do there. ;) I'm really not aiming to be an official Betta breeder. I thought it would be fun to see what would happen. Obviously with the fishes safety #1. Anyway, everything was going well I...

Hello, my female betta has a swollen belly area her tail is skinny but the very front of her is swollen. She eats normally, she swims fine she is all over the tank, she stays close to the bottom, but she doesn't "lay" on the bottom she just swims and hovers near the bottom sometimes but she...

With my first hatch of button quail (Chinese Blue-Breasted Quail/King Quail/C. chinensis), I had only one chick hatch out of fifteen eggs that I set. At day ten I candled, and found four infertile eggs. On day 16 (hatch day), there was nothing. I chekced the thermostat and the dial had been...

My fairly-new female betta startled me today by starting to produce and eat eggs with no males around, which I did not realize was a possibility previously. She didn't act any differently for a couple hours, but within the past few she has become sluggish and is just swimming around slowly at...

She acts healthy and is very active. Eats normally. I try not to over feed her. Her belly became bloated I think over a week ago.. I did a water change and added epsom salt yesterday. She is in a 5 gallon tank with heater/filter. Temp stays on 80. Is she bloated or does she have eggs in her...

Today I got home from class to find two of my peppered corys had been spawning. They've been doing it ALL DAY, I got home at 2 and they're still going at it and its 8 here. The female has preferentially been laying her eggs in one corner, on the glass wall perpendicular to the heater and filter...

I currently have a ten gallon tank filled with a batch of Betta eggs with their daddy diligently taking care of them. They were just laid earlier today. The mother is now back in her own ten gallon tank and I have another tank for the father to go into when the times comes. Atm I have just a...

Hello. Just got a betta fish and 1 mystery snail. A 1.25 gallon bowl just noticed these (see pic attachment) on the pebbles in bottom of bowl. I was warned that the snail could still breed if it was a female and was still carrying eggs and sperm even after separation from other snails but the...

My pair had a spawn yesterday (around 50-70 eggs??) and after taking the female out the male moved the eggs into one spot. This morning the eggs were in a pile but every time I check it seems to be getting less and less eggs. I'm not sure if the male is eating the eggs or if he's been spreading...

My boyfriend and I are thinking of mating our betta fish, the female is a crowntail and the male is a double tail (labeled a double tail, half-moon from the pet store, but after looking up info, I'm not sure if this is possible as I have scoured so many betta sites and don't see this type...

Hey- I have a new batch of babies, about 20 regular size- then I have hundreds of tiny "nat" like creatures/babies swarming/swimming about, that are a fraction of the size of the 20 regular babies, that are hanging from the nest like normal. The hundreds of tiny swimmers, just swarm about like...

Friday I put my conditioned plakat pair in the spawn tank. I was surprised the next morning to already find eggs in the nest. :D I promptly (and easily) removed the female. I have never bred with this male before, so I watched him carefully for egg-eating tendencies. For the first few hours he...
