I stalk the disease board nearly every day so I can learn how to treat these lovely fish and so I can give advice to others confidently. Now today has been a rough day on the boards. So far I've seen a fish with no upper lip and fish with one eye because the other one fell out. So I have some...

:-? Okay, my friend won two goldfish (I don't know where, or how) but two small baby goldfish (they're adorable.) And I have this around 50 - 55 gallon tank, it's a really old tank with a powerful filter, a heater, and all that type of stuff. The filter has been running for a long time, but MANY...

Hello everyone, I am quite new to Betta keeping. I have a few simple questions. Is it bad if male bettas don't flare? How can I get my betta to flare?(I've tried the mirror trick) I have seen him flare before, I moved quickly in front of his tank and he flared at me. Thanks!

I have noticed a lot of people talking about there baby betta from petco. I was wondering how you tell if they are a baby betta and what there diet should be and if they are usually hardy since they are so small. I know when we buy fish for our fish pond outside we try to buy them smaller so we...

Hi! I've been keeping bettas since I was pretty young, like six. However, I always kept them in tanks less than 3 gallons. I decided to start up the hobby again, so I did some research. I now have Lucas, my veiltail, in a 10-gallon tank. Okay so here are my questions:-). His tank temperature is...

Currently I am cycling an Evolve4 I picked up on clearance, not really like it too much, but that's not the point of this thread... I am trying to revitalize some swords in there right now using the stock light and I haven't been able to determine yet if the light qualifies as a "medium light"...

Hi... I'm Fin and I need some help with my betta fish. Info and background: I have a 2.5 gallon tank divided into two sections. Each sections houses a male betta. One is white and the other is Multi colored. I got the white one yesterday as a replacement for my other betta who died a few days...

So I recently just bought a 10 gallon tank with a heater and a filter after thinking my betta was sick. I also bought one of those cleaning hoses for the bottom of the tank. So I was just curious how I would perform a 50% water change? Should I get a bucket and and let it sit overnight with...

Hello everyone! I'm relatively new to betta fish. I had a few when I was younger. They lived anywhere from 6mo to a year. I was not the primary care giver at the time. Merely an observer. I decided recently to give it another go. I thought I did my research, but it seems I missed a key step. I...

So my dad and stepmom said I could get a betta (well, really any fish, but quite honestly I doubt I'd have room for many other fish). I haven't actually owned a betta in awhile, and there are many different opinions on how to care for them, so I have some questions. First, the only tank I have...

Ok so a couple weeks ago my male betta got a tear in his fin. So I thought maybe it was because of over flaring or a sharp plant. So I covered the sides of the tank and took out the sharpest plants and replaced them with silk ones. At first I thought he was getting better because I started...

Hi everyone! I've just received a new betta fish for my birthday. I've had him for two days now, but I've done TONS of research beforehand because I want to give my betta the best home possible. His name is Jack and he's a gorgeous blue crowntail :) Anyway, the layout of his tank is pretty...
