Thanks so much for your advice and kind words as well. Yeah, now that I know better I can make sure that the same thing doesn't happen to my female betta, Rukia.

I do use a filter but don't have it running all of the time. I usually have it on for half the day and turn it off at night 'cause my betta didn't like it at night. I don't have a water test kit though. But it doesn't matter anyway, 'cause last night when I got back from studying, I saw that he...

It's a 2.5 gallon tank. I had just done a partial water change exactly one week ago so I don't know how the water could have gotten bad (I change the water a little bit each week and replace some of the gravel, and add drops to neutralize the chlorine and also add a little aquarium salt). Maybe...

Okay...so I posted earlier about my betta Ichigo seeming sluggish and laying still at the bottom of the tank. I thought it had to do with his diet but just a few minutes ago I looked at him and his eyes seemed to potrude. I was like...oh, maybe he has popeye now! But then I also looked and it...

Thanks for the help. I guess I will feed him more (but not too much!) and see what happens. He might be a little older too, like you said.

I've had my male betta Ichigo for almost a year now. I used to feed him 5 betta bites per day (two in the morning and three at night) but then he got fat and his swim bladder got out of whack so I lowered it until he seemed normal. I've been feeding him two in the morning and one at night, with...

Sorry, I'm slow to respond. XP He passed away that afternoon. I still have no idea what caused his death though. I don't have exact readings of those the day that he died...

I'm not sure if I can post here about my algae eater, but it's an emergency and I need help. This morning I found him in the 2.5 gallon tank on his side, having difficulty swimming and usually ending up swimming in a circle, but he's still on his side. Also, near his right gill, it looks a...

Awesome! :good: Looks like my male betta, except mine's fins were never that long, they were shorter when we got him.

She's beautiful! :D I always pick weird names but I can't really think of any suggestions for ya..

Good news! Update: He is looking a lot better after I used the aquarium salt. Everything is fine. I also purchased bloodworms as treats for him every so often to make it up to him. :lol:

Thanks...I'll buy salt tomorrow (since stores are closed July 4th, today). He doesn't look bad but I'll use it just in case, and let you know how things turn out! :D

Wow, they are all gorgeous! You're so lucky to be getting those boys! :wub:

^_^ I'm very glad that you like him. He's very sweet. He doesn't have any white spots or anything like that. I guess I'll wait and see what happens over the next few days. And I definitely won't put him with the female.

Yeah, I'll get some pics. Hold on a sec. Here they are, bad quality though (you can compare to the pic in my sig): Also, regarding them living together...I did not realize that I shouldn't do it. Thanks for telling me. I read online when I got the female that sometimes males and females...
