Hey everyone! I have two Betta fish right now, a koi plakat male and a marbled veil tail male. I've had my koi plakat for around a year now and I've noticed that he is no longer koi. He used to have these beautiful vibrant blacks and reds but now he is all dull red. I don't know if he is sick or...

So a little over a month ago I set up my tank. I'm doing fish-less cycle, and added the Ace Hardware Janitor Strength Ammonia to start the cycle. My tank is 20 gallons and planted (with plants such as water lettuce, java fern, anubias nana, basically easy to grow plants). I'm also using a sand...

Hi everyone, I have a 3 year old betta fish in a 5.5 gallon tank. It has very high quality planting soil in it, lots of plants which are flourishing, clean water which has never has any traces of ammonia or nitrites or anything of the sort... I have a great filter, which is not too strong and...

Just the day before yesterday I noticed my bettas right side was slightly swollen. It was only the right side. And it comes into a point. Not the typical dropsy look. The next day I gave her a small pea because I thought it was constipation. It didn't change the bump, so I ruled out...

For a few weeks I have been attempting to breed my female (Gee) in hopes of success of fry, I have three males to choose from, Bluetail, Arrow and Fernando. 1. Bluetail, seems to get along with her. They swim and even embraced a few times; however no eggs were laid. After a while they stopped...

My new betta fish seems to be a bit of a picky eater. When I bought him from the pet store, at the bottom of the cup were the small pellets the shop were feeding him which he didn't eat. I kind of blew it off until later when I tried to feed him for the first time. He wouldn't eat, and I wanted...

Hello everyone! My tank is a 6/7 gallon cubic tank (30x30x31). I don't have a betta, but I love them a lot and I'm looking forward getting a little guy. Do you have any advice on planting this cube and house a betta? I want to be clear about something now. Before haters start bashing me, I...

I am a college student who is looking forward to going home this Saturday. I also have a beautiful Betta Fish whom I adore. I also have a horse show this Saturday... and I'm driving with a friend who has a packed car as she is leaving college for good. So here is my problem... I am not...

I have a betta, a neon tetra, and a cobra guppy. Today's my first day with them, and I'm trying to feed the betta Omega One Betta Pellets, and the other two TetraMin Tropical Flakes (a trial packet from my tank's kit). It's been 7 hours since I got them from Petsmart, no idea when they last...

I posted another thread as a guest but I got no answer, but I meet to know what's up with my fish so I joined. My betta is a Crowntail Dragonscale male and he's beautiful (in my biased opinion... Yes, that's him in my profile pic). But I have one problem: he doesn't/can't make a bubble nest. I...

Hey everyone I'm new to this site and also a fairly new Betta owner!! :) When I first got my betta, I had it in a smallll tank, like a 1/2 gallon. It seemed ok in there it ate right and everything, not heated at all. The I read up that it's not good for my betta, so I not have a 10 gallon tank...

I have just purchased a betta from my lfs yesterday and was wondering if my betta should look like this... it has brown spots on its head and has curled scruffy fins. It is very active and eats all the food i give it. I have fed it Bettamin tropical medley (flakes). My tank size is 3 gallons (12...

My betta fish is very bloated! I need help! I have not been feeding him much, 3-4 pellets a day. Some days, if i feed him to much, I do not feed him the next day. I assume that if i do not feed him for some days, the problem will be fixed. I will give a picture if I need to, to your request. But...

I have never used this forum and signed up specifically to post this, so hopefully I can get an answer! I am a first-time "fish mom" & have had my male Betta for 1 year now, with absolutely no issues. Recently (the past week or so) I have noticed him spitting out his pellet food & not eating as...

So I hooked up rubin's filter and a couple hours later I noticed this: It's a bad pic, but its the best I got. I'll explain it: where the water comes to the carbon, there's some light brown carbon. It's a brand new filter, so I can't be needing a new cartridge already. Anybody know what's wrong?

Is it too stressful on bettas if they see each other through the divider and they keep flaring at each other and keep swimming away? Just divided a 5 gallon
