I have a male half moon double tail betta fish. I bought him 4 months ago at Petco. He had a mild case of fin rot, but I knew just being out of a dirty cup, and into warm clean water would do wonders. And it did. He has always been spunky, very active, and a very good eater. My tank has been...

Hello all, Posting this because I'm insanely worried about my new platinum white betta, today looking at him I noticed he has a red mark as if he's bleeding or scratched himself on the side of him? He never had this before, so this is making me panic. The other side he's okay,all white but this...

So I got a new tank for my betta and all of the needed accessories as well. Or so I thought. The pet stores near me did not carry a lot in filters. Pretty much every single one of them were waterfall types. One of the employees told me to try this turtle tank filter since it would have little...

I bought a male beta almost 7 months ago, and he was crystal white and beautiful and his fins were full. And he's been perfectly fine until recently, he's started to change colors on the border of his tail to a yellowish. And now it's changed to red and it looks like his tail fins have almost...

I will soon be receiving my very own betta fish! Since I will become a first time owner I have some questions regarding general care etc. First, my parents are only allowing me to get a two to three gallon fish bowl or tank (pleased no hate, saying I'm cruel). How can I lengthen the life of my...
