Hello! I really new some help figuring out what the best steps are in helping my sick betta fish. I got my betta fish (his name is Foyet) in April as a birthday gift and I’ve never owned one before so I did a lot of research on their care and ideal living conditions. Foyet had a bit personality...

Just cleaned my fishes tank and I checked in on him and his eyes are clouded and seem to be a bit buldged out?! I did not use any soaps, only warm water to clean his tank. I replaced the water around 40% of old water with new water (was let to sit in the room for 24 hours), gradually introduced...

Today I noticed one of my Betta’s poops is white. It isn’t really incredibly stringy and it looks just like his normal long poops, but white instead of reddish-brown. He is acting completely normal. He is swimming around as usual and still maintains his full appetite but I am very concerned...

Damon (HM Betta) hasn't been eating much at all and I believe it is stress related. Can stress cause illness in bettas? I have him in a divided 10 gallon tank with another betta bought the same day at the same store. The other fish Stefan is doing amazing so I really hope there's no illness he...

Hello! I've just got back from a three week trip abroad. While I was gone, I had a friend of mine take care of my Betta, Rune. I had just changed the water a few days before I left as I had started to notice a little bit of red beginning to form on his fin close to his body. I told my friend to...

Hi. I got this guy from Petsmart in October 2012. He has never had any health issues before, but over the past few days his health has declined very quickly. I'm not sure if there is anything I can do or if this is just his time to go, but I would appreciate any advice that could prolong his...

Hi! I've had my Betta fish Shiro for almost a year now. I have three Betta fish at the same time, usually they're all very energetic, so it's extremely easy to tell if anything is wrong once one of them acts different from the others. What happened to Shiro lately is getting worse. It all began...

Hi everyone! I'm afraid my betta is dying. He has fin rot and I can't stop it with medicines. I'm not able to do a proper cycling of the tank. Now he is in a little tank (less than 1 litre) until he recovers. Now he has all his body covered with a red/brown coloration, like burnt (and his...
