betta

So I havent had a lot of experience in fish keeping but I have this baby betta, don't know if it's a girl or a boy but was sold to me as a male. Anyhow we just call the baby piggy right now. He's grown a noticeable amount in just the three weeks I've had him. When it's time to eat he's very...

Hi, My Betta is currently dying, and I'm trying my best to combat dropsy (he has a swollen belly) by treating him to a round of antibiotic Baytril and epsom after other medication didn't work. His condition seems to have started after I added Tetra Vital and JBL Multivitamin Atvitol to the tank...

I've had a betta in a 20 gallon for about two months now and I figured 20 gallons is pretty big for one betta so I divided the tank and added another betta to the other side. The divider is a black plastic mesh like material and I have it double layered to make it a little harder to see through...

My betta recently had fin rot, I came home from vacation and there was a big piece of his fin missing. There's no sharp objects in the tank and it looked like fin rot, so I did a water change and added some aquarium salt and stress coat for one week in hopes to heal it. I then changed the water...

Man, this betta is really confusing me. I cannot seem to figure out what is wrong with him. Right before Thanksgiving, I noticed his belly was a little swollen and he had a white patch on his dorsal fin. I did a lot of research and figured that it was some sort of fin rot. I did some aquarium...

Has anyone here ever fed their mosquito larvae to their Betta ? They love it, and it's fun to watch them chasing the larvae all around the tank. I put out several containers of water in a shady area near my home every year to allow mosquitos to lay their eggs in the water. I check it everyday...

I have been reading and reading and reading, each and every person has something different to say. My betta has a bit of a tail biting issue there for it looks as though he is getting a bit of fin rot on this tail. I have asked several people on Facebook and I am getting all different answers. I...

Hey everyone, just wanted to hear some opinions on this topic. I currently have a male betta in a 20 gal. tank and was thinking about adding neon or cardinal tetras. Probably about 10-12 of them. Wanted to hear some opinions on whether or not this will work? Any success/horror stories of people...

It might be hard to tell, but I wanted to know if my Betta is just playing or is it stressed and chasing its reflection? Here's a video: I'll try to get a better video later. Water parameters are good for the most part. Ammonia-0 Nitrite-0 Nitrate-10 Ph-7.8 My tap is naturally high in Ph...

Hey everyone, probably a dumb question, but thought I'd ask. Will my Betta be ok in temps around 70-72 degrees for a day, two at the most? I ordered a new heater, but won't be here until tomorrow night. I have a heater currently, but it's old and been having problems so I don't want to risk...

So I had a very stable set up in my 5 gal Fluval Spec tank for about 4 - 5 months with my Betta. I then added 5 baby neons to the tank (with the intention uparading later). Everything went well for several weeks, then a fungus bloomed and killed the neons. In a panic, I contacted my LFS, but now...

So I had a very stable set up in my 5 gal Fluval Spec tank for about 4 - 5 months with my Betta. I then added 5 baby neons to the tank. I plan(ned) on upgrading to a 20g.... Everything went well for several weeks, then a fungus bloomed and killed the neons. In a panic, I contacted my LFS, but...

Okay I have a couple more questions... I came home 4 days ago to a Betta with very damaged fins. Any ideas or suggestions? She's the only one in the tank that is stressed or exhibiting signs of stress.

Water is normal on all readings. Can anyone help? Thank you

Hello, I got my betta a couple months ago and I think he has chronic fin rot. He lives in a 8 gallon filtered tank (with no heater since it's pretty hot here). The thing is, I'm not sure if his fins are actually rotting because it seems to progress very slowly. The ends of his fins are...

Hello everyone, I'm fairly new to the Aquarist hobby. I bought a betta fish for my desk at work, but didn't want to put him in a bowl. Instead, I bought a 2.5 gallon ready-made aquarium from Tetra. I decided I wanted to do a planted tank, so I upgraded to a 5 gallon tank, and then a 10 gallon...

Hello~ I've been wanting to add a Betta to my 20gal freshwater tank for some time now and I'm not sure sure whether to go ahead witH my plan due to how aggressive these fish are. I've heard that because they have fancy, long tails, having them in a community tank is tricky depending on the tank...

This post is more as a brief intro than to seek any specific help, so I hope it's in the right place! I got really interested in fish about five years ago when I "rescued" a feeder goldfish that one of my (former) friends had won at a fair and planned to feed to his pet alligator. That little...

Omggggg! Once again my brother decided to buy a Betta for my niece. At the moment I have no tank setup. (All my fishes didnt survive the move to another apartment) So it's in one of those little cups, SMH I have a spare 2.5 gallon rectangular tank, small filter, and heater [I was planning...

my betta fish is hanging around at the corner of the tank not moving. it started about 1 month ago and he will only move if i wobble the tank. he's hardly eating and his colours don't look as bright as they used to. please help! :(
