Hi
PLEASE READ BEFORE POSTING: Fill out this form so we can best help your Betta

Many thanks to BF/TFK Member Mike for developing this questionnaire. It is the same form with a few additions.


Please fill out this form when seeking help for your Betta. This information and a clear photo posted directly into the thread will help us give you the most accurate advice possible. Without the information and photos the best we can do is guess.

Even if you're already answered many of the questions in text form you we ask you fill out the form so we will have a quick source of information.

And if you are answering a call for help please request this form be filled out. If you need more information ask in text; do not make any alterations to this form. If you have suggestions contact a Moderator.

Thank you,

The Betta Fish Team
