hey guys! Okay so I haven't had a betta in a few months (Ish died tragically when a long hair of my mother's fell into the tank and wrapped around his fins and body, suffocating him) but I do have two large goldfish, each 2" long, and a tetra 1" long, and two cleaner snails. The fish have been...

Hello everyone! I'm Austin, a just-recently betta fish owner! His name is Ghost, and is a double-tailed betta. I have a question regarding my biology class, and I figured this is a good place to ask. Now, I need to record its respiration daily, meaning I have to see how much my fish breathes per...

I bought a betta fish about 9 months ago when I was starting my freshman year of college. I had had one when I was younger and we just kept him in a simple bowl and it wasn't very hard to take care of him so I thought a betta would be easy to take care of. Long story short he started to look a...

First of all, I am a very empathetic person, and I can't stand the idea of my fish (named Lauda) being uncomfortable. Unfortunately, I tend to overreact when I shouldn't, and I'm not sure if I caused a problem or if there is a problem. I just want Lauda to be healthy and happy... And I'm feeling...

I need to know if my Berta Lamar has fit rot. He's really active and is quite the piggy. He used to have a pretty full tail but it's all different now. Help please? He lives in a gallon tank but it has air and a light. He's always is at a good temp. Right now he is at 78 degrees.

I got my betta as a baby and raised him into maturity (he now builds bubble nests) and recently, for the past week or so he's been shedding what I assumed to be his slime coat. It's been excessive shedding to the point it'll get caught on the plant décor and he'll turn around and eat it. Now...

I got this fishy about 3 months ago. He's very energetic!! Almost a bit too much, because he's constantly flaring at his reflection. I even keep the lights in his aquarium turned off, but he still continues to flare! The deterioration of his fins started with two small pinholes. I read some...

I am planning on getting a betta soon and want to know what to look for when picking them out. I will be getting it as a pet not to breed so I will get whichever I like best if it is healthy. So what I am asking is how do you tell if a betta is healthy and what can you do at the pet store to tell?

I've had this halfmoon male betta (Triton) for about 3-4 months. I got him from Petsmart and upon receiving him he had some breathing/swim bladder issues. I treated him in a 1g tank for a few weeks with a little dropper of Betta Ultimate made by Hikari. He responded really well to it, his...

Hello, I bought my new betta about 6 months ago and I got him set up in a 3 gallon crescent shape tank with a filter and heater set at 82 degrees. He was doing great until I decided to switch filters because the old one was splashing all over my desk. I think that it stressed him out or there...

Hey guys :) So in about 3 weeks I'll be moving to my summer dorm room and so I plan on bagging my sponge filter, gravel, plants, etc and moving them all and transporting it to my girls new twenty gallon long tank :) I defiantly know I don't have enough plants to fill a twenty gallon long tank...

Hey guys! I am new to Bettafish.com and after seeing all of the amazing fishies and outstanding tanks, I have decided to get a betta of my own. I have previously owned about 3 bettas, but none of them were well cared for. I ended up giving them to friends or selling them. My new fish is going to...

My brother(18) and I(16) are going to get a betta fish soon. But as I am trying to figure out the cost of all the things I need I don't know all I need to get to make sure the fish will be healthy. If you can tell me anything I need to get or have to make sure the boy will be healthy please tell...

Hello, I am new to fish keeping, and this was my first fish. I bought a betta fish from petsmart two weeks ago. I bought one that looked very colorful and active. I put him in a 5 gallon tank, with a heater and a filter. I treated my tap water with declorinater and chemical remover first, and...

Ok, so, I have one Betta fish. A very pretty blue betta fish named Bruce. I recieved him as part of a secret Santa game, so it was kinda unexpected. Nonetheless, I decided that I would try my best to care for my newly adopted Betta. I've had him for about a month now, and he has been a perfect...
