    I recently got a half moon betta, he’s beautiful, I have him housed with another male betta, with a divider and covered top so no jumping can occur. I’m not sure if what I’m going to say makes any sense but I’ll try. He was like it when I got him, but it hasnt gotten better so I’m wondering...

    I’m concerned if my Betta has fin rot. I am a new betta owner but I do know a little bit of the basics. I have dechlorinated the tank, it is a 10 gallon with plenty of room, river rocks, driftwood, water filter , and heater. We also got sand as our ground. no plants yet, so barely any greens...

    Hello, I left my betta, Casper, overnight and came back and his fins were fused. He is in a 3 gallon tank with heater at 80 F and a filter. Is there anything I can do to help him? First picture is current, 2nd is about 24 hours ago. Please help! I

    So we recently got this betta fish (named Zion, I’ve attached a picture) around one week ago - we noticed that when we got him he seemed in pretty rough shape from the previous home - we noticed that some of the top fins seemed ragged and was wondering if it was fin rot or torn fins and if there...

    Hi, I have a male betta named Casper as well as 2 nerite snails in my tank. Casper was healthy this morning when I greeted him. I walked away from the tank for 30 minutes and I came back to his tail looking like this! It looks like a snail got on his tail and started ripping at the sensitive...

    Hi everyone, this is my first time posting on something like this and I really hope someone might be able to help. I noticed there were parts of my betta’s tail lying on the bottom of the tank and it looks like part of his tail ripped off. My questions: Is it something more serious than a...

    So I noticed a white spot on by betta's tail fin right up next to his body. It almost looks like a blister or a whithead. Only just noticed it in the past day or two and see no others on him. I dont think it looks like ich, but I'm no expert. Can anyone tell me what this might be? I got this...

    I was an impulse buyer at petco while shopping for welcome-home presents for my dog and I bought a "baby boy" from petco without knowing all there is for proper care of an adult betta, let alone a lil guppy. I've since accommodated his current set-up as best as I can (currently a 0.7 gal tank in...

    Hi guys, so after 20+ years I have finally gotten myself a male beta fish. I had noticed some fin rot on his tail that I think was caused by stress, his first tank was too small and the filter was too strong, so I got him a larger tank and he seemed much happier. I have been treating him with...

    Pebbles has acquired some long rips in his fins :( I do not believe it is fun rot and he seems to be active and eating well. After some research, I'm thinking it's either tail biting or mechanical rips from his aquarium plant, but I would like a second opinion. In the mean time I am treating...

    This is Dave. And I've been wondering what type and colour he is. I know he is a butterfly but I'm unsure of tail type and such. This is the best Picture I have, he doesn't flare so.. And I know his tail is ripped, but it is growing back, this is an older Picture but the best I've got...

    I recently got a new betta, Milton, about a week ago. I put him in a cycled and heated 10 gallon tank with a marina s10 filter turned to half flow. He seems to be pretty healthy and active so far, exploring and such. he's even blown a bubble nest in the corner of the tank. But I'm worried by a...

    Housing: Sebastian normally lives in a 6 gallon shared with another betta named Ciel (yes the tank is divided, yes the divider is covered by plants so they don't constantly see each other, no they can't jump over the divider). I moved Sebastian into a separate area (about a 1 gallon bowl) to...

    Hello everyone! I am a first time Betta owner and my Betta, Bean, has been biting his tail like crazy. I've attached pictures of him before, during, and today; and pictures of his tanks. He was in a 2.5 gallon before, when he did not have this problem. I moved him into a 5 gallon on 10/14 and...

    I've tried almost everything with Peanut, my teal doublefin, bettafix to a whole new tank with exciting things, and I've never solved the mystery with his strange depleting fins... things are getting better now that it's been a few months luckily. There are clear parts of fin on top of his...

    I recently got 2 new bettas. Both elephant ear half moons. They are in a divided 10 gallon tank and I noticed now after 5 days my one betta is fin biting. I don't know why. I have all natural plants and it's pretty well planted, check my journal to see some pictures. The divider is blocked...

    Hey everyone, I'm a first timer... just got this betta because I thought it was the most beautiful fish ever... Was just wondering if anyone had any idea about the tail and pattern type of my betta? Also, are females always shorter finned? I'm assuming it's a male but I just wondered if I...

    I'm a first-time betta owner, and I have several live plants in my tank, with soft gravel on the bottom. I also have in my tank a fake rock/cave decoration with soft, silky plant leaves on it. My betta, Karl, loves to play in the little cave and lay on the silk leaves. But I woke up this morning...

    I am a college student and have had a male half moon betta for about a year and a half now. He is at college with me and has made several trips to and from my home and my school. He is a very lively and healthy fish. I just recently brought him home for Thanksgiving break. Therefore, he went...
