Hello again, I have noticed some changes in my betta fish named “onion” since my first post asking if my betta fish is sick. In one of the photos I've uploaded, you can see that the fish has some bite marks/ fin rot etc. on his tail. the other is how the betta's tail looks when he is swimming...

This is very emotional for me to write. I got my Betta for my son Jan 2020, and I had NO prior fish-keeping experience. Finley quickly became my fish, because I have put SO much time, energy and money into learning about Betta care and doing everything I can to help him thrive. Due to my lack...

This is a betta rescue I did las Thursday. Someone posted two bettas for adoption who belonged to two small children. One of them is doing great! I’ve been trying since then to get this one feeling better, but I don’t feel that I’ve made progress. They didn’t have a heater when I first picked...

Hey everyone, this is my Betta, Peppa. He has been super healthy recently. He is a picky eater though. My concern here is wether he’s just backed up or has dropsy.... I don’t see how it could be dropsy as he is a healthy fish and his tank is cleaned and such regularly. But I don’t know if he’s...

My male veiltail betta, Steve, was experiencing some fin fraying on his tail fin about 4 days ago. I added some aquarium salt after a water change and it looked like it was getting better for a couple of days and this morning it was almost healed, but then tonight it got bad within the span of...

Hello! I noticed that my betta has white cotton stuff around him and found out that it was fungal infection. I don't know what to do and how I could help my lil guy. He's been laying on his side for two days :( I ordered medicine on Amazon but it won't come until tomorrow. What could I do to...

Trying to set my tank I have had issues getting the correct filter and I'm learning as I go..my fish has become super sick. I have been reading on his symptoms...

My daughter's betta fish was floating sideways in his tank this morning. I'll admit, the tank was a little overdue for a cleaning, and I put him in his other bowl as soon as I found him on his side. He is now swimming upright, but I'm still concerned. He doesn't seem to be well...

My Nitrites are persistently high due to a cycle crash and now my poor betta is showing signs of nitrite poisoning despite me doing 50% water change every day. Started doing two water changes a day last night because they spike right back up. I'm only feeding him one pellet a day now too. Didn't...

As of right now, I can't get any good pictures, my betta is darting around too much, I'll try later:) Today I noticed a brown worm thing hanging between Draco's (clamped) pectoral fins. It looks similar to a bloodworm. Also, I think he has ammonia poisoning, so I did a 100% change today. Here's...

Hello, I think I've made some wrong turns in trying to get my new Betta to feel better and now he's got clamped fins and moves seldomly and either doesn't eat or spits his food out. I know these are signs of a sick Betta, I'm just trying to figure out the next move because I keep making a...

Please help!! My silver betta acts odd every single time I change his water. He gulps at the air at the top of his tank and doesn't move. This time I changed his water, it was a whole new bowl, new gravel, and new 100% guaranteed fish safe decor, like plastic-looking plants. But it was half his...

I was doing a water change and kept my Petco king betta in its cup while doing so. While I was out of the room he jumped out and landed on the floor; we were able to get him back in his cup and eventually the tank, but once we put him back we noticed that his left pectoral was pinned to his side...

I have a crowntail male betta living in a 3.5 gallon tank with a filter and a heater that keeps the temperature at 80 degrees. He has no tank mates, and I do a 50% weekly water change, but lately because of his lethargic state and his swollen gill, I've been doing 80% water changes every second...

I have a crowntail male betta, and I noticed recently he's been looking really pale. He lives in a 3.5 gallon tank, with a heater, a thermometer which says the water is at 80degrees, a filter, and has no tank mates. I do a 50% water change once a week, and feed him 3 pellets of Aqueon once a...

Hey friends! I'm a new owner of a beautiful, super active and friendly male crowntail Betta named Charlie, or Chilli for short. I adopted him from a pet store just under a month ago, as he had a popped gill and couldn't be sold. He was treated before I got him and he seems fine with his gill...
