I have no female bettas, or other fish near them. They are on either side of my desk, so the amount of light they get, and temperatures are constant as well.

Cute! :)

I cleaned my betta tanks yesterday. This morning one was remaking his bubble nest and I noticed one of my other bettas, one who has never made a bubble nest was also making bubbles. Though they were only lasting a few seconds. Could it be possible that he doesn't know how or can't make a...

Thank you everyone. =) Here is a side view of Az'aran.... He is btw, the most uncorporative fish I have ever know when it comes to taking pictures. I have to sneak up on him otherwise he wants to look at the camera. :lol: BTW - He is a half moon tail. :lol: I was looking at crown...

Newbie here! :blush: I've enjoyed looking at everyone else's bettas, so I thought I would share mine. :) This is my newest addition, Az'aran. He's a crowntail. And these are my older boys, Jackson and Jasper.

Hello again - I thought I would give you an update. Oscar pulled through! Yay! After about 12 hours I could see he was able to close his jaw a little, and in about 48 he was eating and behaving normally. Thank you SO much for your help! -Also, I see there is a forum for fish help now...

I will do that. Thank you again. Hopefully he will pull through.

Update: Well, I got the Pelco out.. but Oscar won't/can't close his mouth. :( And he seems to be having difficulty breathing.

Thank you. I'll update when I am finished.

Thank you all so much for your help. I am going to try and remove it. Obviously, I should do it as quickly as possible, but how long can I safely keep him out of water?

If I can't pull it out, would cutting as much off the tail as possible help in any way? I have no idea where the throat/stomach are in a fish. Okay, I'll go with my hands.. I was just worried about him slipping out. I don't mind touching him, I just am afraid of droping him.

I had a feeling I should not put the Pelco in with Oscar, but I read online in several places that Oscars wouldn't eat Plecos... Oh well, I should have trusted my own judgement. Thank you very much for your imput... I really hope he will pull through. He is up and about again, I hope that...

I apologize if I am posting this in the wrong place, or if I have failed to follow some newbie directives, but I am really concerned out about my fish. I have a young Oscar, (3-4 inches) this morning when I woke up I found that he had tried to eat the Pleco that was in the tank with him, but...
