  1. Betta Fish Bowls, Habitats, and Accessories
    So the past few days, I noticed that my fish's bowl had a strange layer on top of the water. The bowl is unfiltered, and I was wondering if that might be why. When I do a water change, I take a small container I have, fill it with tap water, and add these conditioning drops that remove the...
  2. Betta Fish Care
    Hello, I just got back home from vacation for a week and my neighbor took very good care of my betta fish until I got home. I came back on Friday, and just yesterday I noticed that my fish was sitting at the bottom of his bowl, and as soon as I crouched down to look at him, he darted up very...

    My betta, Bill, has been sick and is still recovering, and has been lethargic over the last week, tonight I changed his water 25% and I've noticed he's super active, coming zooming over to me when I put my face to his tank, I held up a chocolate wrapper to his tank and he flared at it - guess he...

    Hello everyone! When I got home this morning, I noticed that my 2 year old betta had algae growing on the tips of his fins. This was very surprising. Have any of you guys had this happen before? This specific beta has HUGE fins and constantly has problems with them. He always gets pinholes, no...

    http://www.aquabid.com/cgi-bin/auction/auction.cgi?fwbettashm&1400856626 That fish has a ton of rosetailing, but the breeder still calls it "show quality." Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't that really undesirable? And his fins are a bizarre shape. I mean, he's pretty, but I don't think he's...

    This isn't a question asking why, just a funny little post about betta's and what they flare at or are so threatened by ... I apologize if there's a thread already like this. :P So, my EE male Elliott just hates the thermometer that I put into his tank, he straight away swims to it as if he's...

    My betta, Adonis, hasn't been his usual self lately. He usually swims to the front of his tank when I come closer to say hi. He also usually eats a lot. However, as of late, he hasn't been swimming much, he does not swim to the front and say hi anymore, does not eat much (he even avoids it...
  10. Betta Fish Diseases and Emergencies
    I didn't know forum topic to put this under...nor is this an emergency (my babies are doing swimmingly ;)) But I read somewhere that a person fed their Betta fish bits of a cooked Pea to help constipation/swim bladder... Is it okay to feed you fish peas? And for what purpose would you do that for?
  11. Betta Fish Diseases and Emergencies
    Me better fish has a very large weird lump on her side, It does not seem to effect her swimming, but it is the size of a pea, so that is sort of scary on a betta's body. Here are a lot of details that may or may not mean anything. The tank is 30 gallons, She lives with a 8 inch Pleco, in a 30...

    So i just got these cubes of frozen bloodworms to feed my male and he did not even touch a single one of them! I've tried dried frozen before and he did eat but why not the frozen ones?

  14. Betta Fish Diseases and Emergencies

    I've never ever ever ever owned a fish THIS WEIRD. Tilly seriously does the strangest things. I've been watching her for 20 minutes... she's attacking the suction cups on the tank's PH/Ammonia tester. It's really sad that she's so easily amused. It's also sad that I've been watching a fish for...
