betta

I have a betta that’s possibly coming down with dropsy. I sterilized my siphon, but I’m afraid that whatever caused my betta to get dropsy could have been transferred to my other tanks by plant changes, using the same siphon, etc. before I noticed. I know that dropsy is a symptom of a larger...

I typically only ask questions on the forum, so I decided to show my male half moon betta. I’ve had him for about 4 months now. I love him to death 💕

Hello, I made a post about this problem of a white spot on my betta's head on Jan 1st this year. Since then the spot has turned into a form of growth. I have read up on bettas of this species being more prone to getting tumours. However, the white growth on my betta has a different look to it...

Hello everyone, hope you're all having a great day. I'll start by writing about my tank setup: Housing: How many gallons is your tank? 5gal Does it have a filter? yes, sponge. Does it have a heater? no What temperature is your tank? 80F stable (live in tropics) Does your tank have an air stone...

So this morning I noticed my betta was missing, but I didn’t have time to look for her until after school. It appears as if she is attached to the driftwood by some sort of fungus. Does anyone know what this is or how it happened? I don’t know if she is dead, but I will update in a few.

They are everywhere and I’m hoping they aren’t a threat or anything to the tank. Just a 15 gallon with a betta and 3 nerite snails. Read that they may be Hydra but I am not 100% sure as they’re green and not white. I would just like them gone.

This grey mark showed up on my betta months ago and I thought he had burned himself on the heater since he figured out how to rest on top of the suction cup, but now I think it's changed shape and I'm concerned. I want to check with more experienced people before putting in treatment for it...

Hi.. So... there are two different betta forums.. splendens and non splendens... Where does mine fit in? I don't know what "kind" he is.. I'm not sure what the difference is.. Is it something you can see? Is it wild bettas vs domestic bettas? Also.. he's so cute! He's young and still growing...

For a few weeks now, one of my boys has had what I can only describe as an air bubble on his tail and I was told it’s nothing to worry about, but I came down this morning and it’s more than quadrupled in size! He’s actively swimming and feeding, so it doesn’t seem to be bothering him at all...

Hello, I just started fish keeping and i am very invested in it. Yesterday I was looking at my betta and he seemed a little bloated but not really. I am not sure. I tried looking for pictures online to fit his current stated but everything seems so exagerated. I don't think he is constipated...

Hi my betta has this odd marking on his head im not sure what it is ive noticed it only a few days ago it seems like its gotten worse if anyone has any ideas what it could be i appreciate that alot.

As my betta has gotten older, his scales have been more and more raised. The tank is filtered, heated, and cycled. He's around 3-4 years old now, gradually becoming more lethargic, having less appetite, and losing color in his scales. It's gotten to the point where I can look at him from the...

I’ve been using spring water for my betta fish for as long as I have had him (since September) I am finding it hard to keep up with buying enough spring water to make frequent water changes as i do not have a car. Would it be hard on him to switch over to tap water at this point? He currently...

I just added jungle fungus cure three hours ago to treat my betta for columnaris but now he's breathing extra heavy. I added the correct dose but I'm scared that I poisoned him! Should I do a emergency water change or is it too late?

Hi everyone I am reposting since my last thread was quite some time ago. If you need context please see: https://www.fishforums.net/threads/betta-fin-rot-desperate-for-help.461247/ But now my betta Itachi who I got in 2019 isn't doing so great. His tail has almost completely receded and is...

Hi everyone, I’m new to owning a betta and he isn’t doing too well. We’ve had him over a month but the last week he’s getting worse and worse. I’ve checked the levels in his water and they’re fine but I’ve also made sure to do regular water changes incase. He has been spending more time at the...

Hi! I have bought a cory and died no long after max 1/2 days. I never had issues with putting fishes in my tank since I had it (6 months). I am worried my tank might have some toxic algae because it has a electric Blu green algae that's never been there before! So I am worried for my other...
