scared

SHE BARLEY IS MOVING AND I AM CRYING AND FREAKING OUT. I just got my beta like last week. I cant leave my house due to quarantine and I have no idea what's wrong with her. Her belly seems a bit bulky and she sits on the bottom of the tank or on her live plants all the time. She also has a little...

Hi everyone! I am cureently on holiday and my partner is home looking after our baby. Since I have left Will, (our fish) has become unresponsive, lethargic and today has stopped eating. He is usually very excitable especially when it comes to food time and quite literally hardly ever stays still...

SOS! SOS! SOS! Guys, i need some serious help. Yesterday i got home from a trip with a new tank (11 litres) for my little betta Wilson. Transfered him over with no issues, he was happy and loving life like he usually does. I added in some new gravel, a spongebob decoration for him to hide in...

So I feed my betta NLS pellets, and I used to watch him eat it. But for about a month now, I haven't seen him eat it at all. I crush it as well as drop full ones in. I have 6 otos, and he leaves them alone, the only thing I really see him eat is frozen blood worms. I've gone 2 weeks without...

So I got my betta just a couple days ago at a county fair and he's been perfectly fine but today I wanted to get him a new tank so I went to pet smart and got a 1.2g tank. After reading some more I've realized that most people have their bettas in a 5g tank but I can't afford anything bigger...

Hello, I just want to say I'm sorry for being such a newbie!! I feel like I'm posting so often with so many questions, I'm not quite sure how to take care of a fish yet since I'm new. :oops: Haha.. On my last post I was talking about how my new fish has been a little sluggish and has lost a...

Posiedon was fine yesterday, and fine last night. He had a bubble nest yesterday that was gone this morning. He's even in the middle of making a new bubble nest. His tail was just healing from Fin Rot from January. And the I wake up to THIS! What is happening? Is he biting his fin? What...

I have a male betta in a 2.5 gallon tank. A few days ago, he would go up to the floating food pellet, but go to bite at the tablet, but miss. After he would miss, he would leave the pellet and come back a few minutes later. This was kinda aggravating to me, so I knocked on the glass and he...

Hello everyone! I have googled everything and even posted on Yahoo Answers to see if someone could help me but, I have failed. I'm sure I can get much better help here with people who genuinely care about these fish! So here is the story. I got my Betta at a Care-a-Lot pet store here in...

I got my new friend Beast about a week and a half ago. The veiltail lives in a half gallon tank(New 2.5g on the way!), has a plant to hide behind, and a 50% water change every two days. But as of today, I learned that I can play with him. I fed him his morning pellets and after he ate, gently...

I'm new to this forum 'cause I really needed help with my new betta fish. If I'm posting this in the wrong area, please re-direct me and I'll re-post this. Some background: I had gotten a betta fish for my birthday from my boyfriend's mother. It was a vase with a peace lily in it, and I was to...

Helphelphelphelphelp I think Loki has fin rot. I'd say he's biting, but there's a little bit of black around the edges too. The thing is, there were absolutely no signs of it yesterday when I left at two o clock. Now, at ten thirty, I just noticed. I spent the night out, and only got home about...

I got a betta last week, and I just got three ghost shrimp to keep the bottom clean. Since I got them, the betta has acted scared. Whenever the shrimp come near him, he goes the opposite direction and he's acting unnaturally spastic. Is this normal? Is he really scared of the shrimp? Should...

This is my first time having a fish and he did alright for a while, but suddenly, he doesn't eat as much and is terrified of me. He's been in the same 1/2 gallon tank since i've had him (one month), he has a place to hide, I do water changes at least once a week, he has a heater, i put a mirror...

Alright, so you know those texting gloves, right? The stretchy finger gloves with the meshy stuff at the fingertips? Well the fingertips have a material in them that allows the transfer of heat and electrochemical transfer to use the touch screen on a phone, ipod, etc. Thing is, for some reason...

I just put Humphrey and Mojo into the new divided 10 gallon tank and I was wondering if it was possible that Humphrey is overwhelmed by the change? Mojo seems ecstatic about the new home but Humphrey is hiding behind his coffee mug cave. (He also shares his side of the tank with the filter).

So I'm leaving for vacation in a couple weeks with my family to Maryland and of course, I can't bring the fish. We'll be gone for a week. I'm going to clean both their tanks (both are about 1 gallon) but, What am I supposed to do about feeding them?! I'm afraid to use automatic feeders, and...

Poor pet store Half Moon Betta boy has had a traumatizing life up until now! I understand why he feels like hiding during this first week but how long until he calms down a bit? I'd like to see him! :wave: Also, any name suggestions? I haven't hit on something that seems good enough for him...

My Beta fish Sharky is acting very very strange!!! :cry::cry::cry::cry: I have had sharky for about a month, I love him very much, I just cleaned his tank, allowed in to sit with my heater in it for about an hour so it was the absalute perfect teprature like always, It was also time for...

I added 3 platies to my betta tank 2 days ago and they seem to get along fine but i've noticed today that there's one platy who is always separated from the others and stay in my ornament (see picture below). Do you guys know why my platy might be doing this? It is a male so i dont think it's a...
