    Hi - I've had this girl for a year. She's in a heavily planted 10g heated tank with weekly water changes (seachem prime as a dechlorinator). She is the only tank resident.

    Hi! Our betta has had this white spot on his top fin since we got him. Recently it started to get way worse so we did a treatment with Jungle Fungus Clear. Over the next few days, some of the white parts of the fin started to fall off but after four days there was still quite a bit of white left...

    My betta boy has developed what I think is a fungal infection on his fin-- either fungal fin rot, or bacterial fin rot that has developed fungus on the infected section? It's confined to a single fin, nothing on his other fins or body. He does have some rips in his other fins as he's a boredom...

    Hi everyone, I'm new to the forum. I have joined as my poor betta son has had so much trouble really since day 1. He is currently in a 4 gallon tank which we maintain at about 78-80 fahrenheit and he seems to love it. He swims around happily and eats well (about 5-6 pellets a day and perhaps the...

    This is my first betta fish, Hector, and I'm really worried that he's sick: this morning at around 7am I noticed two very small fuzzy-ish looking dots (each around the size of a needle eye or smaller) on the right side of his anal fin. They're a little hard to see in the photos, sorry -- I'll...

    I noticed my Betta recently developed a couple tiny white puffs, one on the side of his fin and a few on the tips of his fins. He seems otherwise healthy, still eating, swimming. I assume it's some sort of fungus, but I'm unsure what the best thing I should do for him is. I don't want to jump...

After putting him in his new tank and setting everything up, he quickly acclimated and was as happy as could be, making bubble nest...

    This morning when I woke up I went to check on and feed my crowntail betta, Mocha, when I noticed he wasn't swimming to the top to greet me like he does every day.
