I just notice these white spots on my betta today. I am quite sure there were no such white spots when I bought the bettas ( two of them) 2 days ago. Apart from that, my betta seems to be happy. This is my first time with bettas and so I am all ears for your opinions Thanks in advance. My tank...

Recently I have noticed that my halfmoon betta fish had chunks of his tail missing. I asked someone on this website about it and they answered that it was only fin biting. Relieved, I left it alone but kept watch for any tail biting. I was checking his tail through the glass one day and noticed...

I have a 5 gallon tank with a whisper micro filter. Originally I was going to try to cycle it, but then I realized that this filter uses disposable filter cartridges. Is it still possible to cycle it or will I need a non disposable cartridge? Also are there any that are available for this...

Hello, I’m a proud owner of a male halfmoon betta however, I have a sneaking suspicion that he may either be biting his fins or could possibly have fin rot (that I am hoping to catch early). I have had a betta die from fin rot before and honestly I’m just a little nervous about it. Housing...

I am relatively new to betta care (mine has been with me for about 6 weeks) and it has come to my attention that my precious fish may have the dreaded fin rot. :shock: However, it could also be merely new growth. I decided to come here to ask for all of your opinions and suggestions. He is...

My halfmoon Betta Reno has gotten a sever case of fin rot, I've been trying to keep it at bay. Luckily all the rot is only on his back fin However, I've been using Melaxfix and Primafix and they did not stop it then I turned to the Tetracycline, this is the third day on it and I notice a big...

Hello, This is my first time on this website/forum and i had a quick question i just got a betta fish about a month ago, a half moon double tail, i think he is only a halfmoon tho lol, but we are battling fin rot at the moment and things seem to look a lil better. i wanted to add ghost shrimp to...

Hey all, I got my latest betta about week ago. I got him from Aquastar71 via Aquabid. This is the first time I've bought a fish from Aquabid. So far he seems to be getting along well but in the last couple days I've noticed his dorsal spread seems to have gone down from a full half moon to more...

My betta, Champ, has had severe fin rot. He is a twin tail betta and so it's not all the way through his fin, but he has lost a good bit of fin. I did an aquarium salt treatment with 100% water changes each time. I have now slowed down to every 3 days switching his water and adding aquarium...

I purchased a half moon betta from Petsmart back in October. In November i noticed a slit in his tail. In a few days his fins appeared to be falling off rapidly. So far his tail was the only fin affected but a few days ago I noticed his lower fin beginning to deteriorate. He is housed alone in...
