Hi, I’m a total newbie, but wanted to say something about Bettas, I have three, two males and a female, each one has a different character. Fenella is busy swimming all over her tank, never stops, typical female. Clarence huge personality, sees me when I walk in the room and starts what I call...

Thank you so very much! This is incredibly helpful Thanks again!

I’m sorry. I need to answer questions and clarify things. I apologize I missed most of them (!)el The fertilizer I use, that was recommended by a Betta person is aquarium co-op Easy Green. Now, I will add it after water changes. I was doing it in between. The tank has two sponge filters. I have...

Hi Yes! It does get more light. I put more dwarf water lettuce on the tight side because Clarence really loves it. Left side lives Colter, with less water lettuce and more algae. Colter has turned into my problem child, he doesn’t eat nearly as much as Clarence. He spits out a lot of the food I...

Both my Bettas are doing really well. They are due for a partial water change this weekend. But they are happy, eating etc. Algae doesn’t seem to bother them at all. It seems I have more of this algae on one side the the other which seems rather weird to me. Thanks so much

So should I be worried about this algae or not? I’m a little confused as to what I should be doing. Sorry. I’m really new at this. Thanks for your patience

I’m not very dexterous and I stupidly put the tank on something that makes a little high Thanks!

Sorry I didn’t make myself clear, I have a split 10 gallon tank, 5 on each side. Very difficult to siphon, at least for me The light I have is a BEAMWORKS 6500K 0.5W LED aquarium plant light,. I use the right dosage of fertilizer every other week Snails won’t make a difference? I was told...

Hello I too have this algae. I didn’t think it was bad. My tank is only about 3 months old. I have live plants with it. How do I get rid of it on live plants? I have a split 20 gallon with a Betta on each side. Difficult to clean. Will mystery snails help? I leave my light on about 8 hours a day...

happy to report that Clarence is almost another fish! He loves his living leaves floating on top. I feed him at least 5 x a day, his colors even look better - thank you so much! I'm having big worries with Fenella, I'll start another thread for that

Thank you so much.

one more question, would a chappa leaf in there help? or just hinder?

thank you I'll see if my friend can download the video on to youtube. I can't make the resolution of my iphone any less, again I'll ask him, maybe he knows. If the water is bad, then why isn't the other Betta suffering? Could this be from being closed up in a plastic container for a long time...

I managed to upload the photos. As you can see he is leaning on his side when he stops swimming which is 90% of the time.

I’ve been extremely busy. I managed to download one photo as you can see. I can’t seem to be able to upload/download anything else. What Clarence does is swim a little, rest and his dorsal fin falls over to one side and he leans towards the side the dorsal fin has flipped over. I have a wide...
