Hi everyone! I recently got a betta, and I notice that his fins are not open and taut like most bettas--they are very flimsy, and they don't flare out like they are supposed to. On top of that, my betta also has some white spots on his head and his gills. Is he sick? I asked the guy I bought...

Hi! So I'm not new to betta fish care, but I have a question about a new tank. I have a betta in a 5 gallon, filtered, heated tank, but I'm wondering if the heater is making the water too warm. It's preset to 78, but the thermometer strip reads 82ish. My betta is very VERY active. HE eats great...

Tofu is by far the most go-lucky betta fish that has ever become a part of our rescue. He tends to twirl around the bowl when he's hungry and when he wants attention! This little guy was purchased from a local Petco almost a month ago. He came to our rescue with serve fin bitting, severe fin...

HI! my name is Sydney, i just bought a betta fish today from "pets unlimited". Seems to be fine. Great fins, active and not stressed. Noticed some black spots on its side but i'm pretty sure its apart of its coloring? just wanted to make sure and see if anyone could tell me if its healthy and...

There is nothing cuter than a sleepy betta under a catappa leaf. So hey, I want to see your betta! It can be any catappa leaf pic- cute, funny, or pretty. (apologies if this has been done before!)

Hello, I just want to say I'm sorry for being such a newbie!! I feel like I'm posting so often with so many questions, I'm not quite sure how to take care of a fish yet since I'm new. :oops: Haha.. On my last post I was talking about how my new fish has been a little sluggish and has lost a...

Hello, My name's Jess, and I am new to the betta fish community! :) I've decided to sign up here so I can learn more about them and how to take care of them and keep them happy. I just bought a new betta fish named Gerard about a few days ago, and I already have come to love him. For now, he is...

For Christmas I bought my son a fish tank. It's 30gallons and has a few fish in it so far. (2 platties, 2 black mollies, 4 serpae tetra and a tri-color shark -- yes, I know he'll have to go to a bigger tank when he's bigger.) They all came with the tank when I bought it on Kijiji. So I've had...

He's been sleeping a lot lately and seems to be changing colors? He was all blue when we got him a year ago. Anyways, I wanted to know if anyone could take a look and let me know if you think he looks like a healthy betta. His tail looks a little choppy to me. Thanks!

Today I saved a male betta from Wal-Mart. Wal-Mart keeps these little guys in the most deplorable conditions I've ever seen. If you walk down the fish aisle, depending on your store, you'll see the bettas in tiny compact containers with barley any water, stacked up on each other. Most of the...
