  1. Betta Fish Care
    Hello! I just got my first betta fish today (his name will be Jasper or Toby, I'm still deciding) and I've done a lot of research for care but I figured I'd come here to ask more experienced betta keepers for suggestions? First off, I got a sorta sick looking and small half moon betta from...

    *Note: It got longer than expected. Be warned. I'm new to the Aquarium keeping, having only started after getting my first and current Male Rose Petal Betta, Crooked.

    Hi everyone! I have a betta fish named Piggy, I've had him for about 2 months now and he has become my best friend! We had issues with the cycling of the tank, his fins (I thought he had fin rot, I was using the Fish Keeper formula and they improved immensly), and just the new mom stress of...

    Hello, new betta owner here. I was wondering if it’s okay to put my betta in cloudy water? And why the water is cloudy too. I washed the rocks but when the water went in it got all cloudy, is that normal? I am already conditioning her water so after that’s done when can I put her in?

    Hi I'm almost 18, my mom bought all our fish (without looking up info) but I would like to know how to change tank water as our betta's tail has been split for a while, he shares a community tank with some fish and we've had him about a year so I know it's not them. I figured it's the water, I...

    So, as the subject implies, I'm a complete newbie to the 'Betta Life' :-) Last night I rescued a beautiful blue crowntail male betta from PetSmart (I seriously wanted to cry seeing them all in little cups!!!) After buying the initial 1.8 gal tank (and THEN educating myself on standard tank...

    I'm somewhat of a new Betta owner. I owned one when I was younger, but I don't know anything more than the basics. I got some aquarium accessories at a yard sale the other day, which inspired me to try getting a fish again. Yesterday I was at Wal-mart and checked out their betta section, and...

    A week ago I got a new betta. After putting him in the tank, I fed him a only few flakes. The next day I noticed that he was floating at the top, and if he swam down into the water, he would just float back up. I started treating him for SBD- fasted for 4 days, and then the day before...

    Hello, all. I've come here to ask for your collective help. My office had a secret santa yesterday, and one of the participants thought it would be hilarious to give away a live fish as one of the gifts. Har, har. So, long story short, it fell to me, and I am now the owner of a blue Veiltail...

    My fish, Remus, is ill. I'm pretty positive he has fin rot. Remus is in a 2.5 gallon heated and filtered tank with silk plants and a completely smooth glass jar to swim in and out of. I will admit, I was doing 100% water changes once a week because I didn't know any better and putting him in a...

    My buddy Indigo came to live with us a couple of weeks ago. After a few days he started with white patches on his head. They gradually grew to being his entire front. Now it is going into his fins. I noticed a small pinhole on one fin as well! Pics included to show coloring as well as the hole...

    Hey there! I'm relatively new to the whole Betta world -although I've had my Betta, Roscoe, for a year and a half now. Before he came to me he was my sister's fish but soon she was more into boys than caring for such a delicate little fish so she gave him over to me in quite poor condition (fin...
