new betta fish

Hi ya'll! Im Hannah and I currently have two betta babies. I have a white female betta i got as a baby from petco, her name is Tina. Then I also have a beautiful red/blue/white/black male, his name is Mr.Marbles. I have kept betta fish before but I was very uneducated about their care. I had a...

Hello, everyone! I'm Katelin, I'm 22 and from Minnesota. I recently got a new Koi Betta, named Magikarp, from an actual breeder rather than a pet store, like my previous betas have been. Despite the fact he was shipped, I notice he is so much healthier and active right off the bat. I'm...

Hello! I have a question in regards to new bettas.. I had a Betta, Boris, and he recently died when I changed his tank due to stress..but also supposably the water was too warm for the guy..:( and I miss him dearly since i trained him. And he was just a lovable little dude who was friendly to...

I just couldn't help myself! I instantly fell in love with this fish and begged my mom to buy him. We had a spare tank and heater and we are currently ordering a filter from online. Also, what type of tail does he have? Is he a halfmoon? It's hard to tell because his tail is tattered a...

I just got a new halfmoon from petsmart today. He was very active in his cup while bringing him home and while acclimating. However once I put him in his new tank he hasn't been moving much. At first he randomly darted a few times and then decided to hide behind his filter. He doesn't have...

Yes, after all the work on the tank I bought a pretty little guy on Ebay. This is the photo from the seller, hopefully the little guy will look like this, but I'll love him even if he doesn't because he's my first baby! He's coming the day after tomorrow!

Hopefully today I will be picking up some more females! One of which will be a super delta which I am both sad and happy about as she would of been perfect to breed with Ben if he hadn't passed away... Hopefully getting some CT females to breed with Bill when the time comes. Aaaand I may even...

:mrgreen: HI! MY name is Alaura, and I have decided to make an account here because of my new betta Rocket, he is my 3rd betta, but my first male. I just want him to stay healthy, and want to know how to fix any illness or problem he might encounter. He is a beautiful Dragon Scale Betta, with a...

Sorry about the length of this, I just want to be thorough about everything. I've bolded the important questions for easier reading. And to start, I've created this thread because I've now read through dozens of others on a lot of different sites and everything I've read is so situation based...

I've had my red veil tail for 2 weeks now and I think he might have fin rot. He's my first betta though, so I'm really uncertain. I haven't noticed any black on his fins and he's not behaving any differently, I just want to make sure. The first picture is him when I got him and the next 2 are...

I'm new to this site but not exactly new to Betta fish ownership! I have had 2 bettas so far and just lost my first little buddy a week ago after 3 long years with him! I was very happy that my first ever betta fish lived so long! His name was Jimmy and I never did find out what kind of betta he...

hi,I am a very knew member on this website, and although i do not own a betta i really am looking into getting one. I've done a lot of research but all websites say different things! is a multiple galleon tank necessary for only 1 betta?? I'd like some advice on feeding habits and what size...

I got my new Betta fish, Theodore (the one in my picture), yesterday. Aside from the light blue and white, he had some reddish-brown colouring on his head and a spot on his dorsal fin. When I put him in the tank, they got brighter. Is this anything to be worried about? I'm not really sure if...
