i got my very first betta, harry, two weeks ago today. today i did his first water change and took out about half of the water and replaced it with conditioned water (tried to keep it about 80 degrees.) i didn’t notice him doing this immediately after the change, but recently he’s being darting...

Hi guys, I'm new to this forum but I have a problem with one of my fish! I have a young male butterfly half-moon betta in a community tank (he's very a very gentle soul). Yesterday I found him 'stuck' behind the water heater (now I know bettas are notorious for sticking themselves places they...

Hi, I’m new here but am in need of help. I have had a betta fish for a couple months now but I believe he may be suffering with fin rot. I’ve removed all ornaments so don’t believe he has ripped his fins. I have tried partial and full water changes. We have a closed filter system so I...

I rehomed a male betta fish from a friend. Wejt from 1 gallon skinny tank to 10g. He swam and would come up to glass and try act all tough and talk to me (breathing air lol) then he started acting lethargic, hiding and laying on his side at top of tank. He would get excited for food that about...

I can ramble so I'll try and keep it to the point best I can. This is also my very first aquarium and fish I've EVER taken care of. About 6 months ago a friend of mine bought a Male betta (blue and orange). It was from petsmart, no idea the age. Then she put him in 1g tank for 3-5 days before...

Hello, I foster betta fish, which means I take them in from bad pet stores, rehabilitate them, and find them good forever homes. Our newest rescue is ready to be adopted, and for the past few fish putting up the information on Reddit has worked, but for some reason no one is responding to our...

Here is some pics below of my betta,is it just me or are his eyes sticking out abnormally? I could very possibly be paranoid, but I don't think his eyes were like that before. Am I catching it early?

Hi! My 8yr old son has had a male betta fish for 2 years. He loves Blub-Blub very much, and says he wants to be a fish doctor when he grows up. One of Blub-Blub’s eyes (the iris only) has recently turned a silvery white, so I’d like to learn the cause, and if he needs treatment. He’s a very...

Hello, I'm Aakash and totally new to this hobby. Yesterday I bought my 1st Aquarium (30 Gallon) Tank. I want to setup a planted community tank for my Betta Shiroi, so please give me suggestions for her tank mates and plants. Thank you in advance ☺️☺️

Hi Everyone, I have decided to seek advice where I can get it because I am out of options for my fish. I got my betta from Petco in September 2020. I have him in a 10-gallon tank with a HOB Fluval 30 filter and a 25W heater. Around December of 2020 he developed horrible fin rot and basically...
