betta

Hello So if anyone has seen my last threads, I've had a problem with stocking my tank due to my hard water. I could not find a fish I liked that I could keep. Then I found Betta Mahachaiensis which naturally come from freshwater but also brackish water so like harder water compared to the rest...

I have started cycling a 29-gallon tank with black gravel substrate for my Betta fish and was wondering what fish might work well. I was thinking of a school of darker colored Cories(He currently lives with 5 Cories Emerald Cories) and some snails(rabbit maybe) but was wondering if there was...

I’m about to set up a small tank for my betta (currently thinking about a dennerle nano cube 20l) and would like some advice. My first question is what do you do about keeping the aquarium floor clean when it’s completely planted like in the picture below? I use a gravel vac on my current...

I think my betta may have fin rot as his fins are looking pretty ripped around the edges. Im doing regular water changes and using aquarium salt first. I know I can get medication if this doesn’t work, I was thinking of moving him to a smaller hospital tank if he doesn’t improve. Do I need to...

Hello So this morning I was checking on my baby bettas that I bred myself and one had a long and CLEAR tendril coming out of it. The tendril isn’t moving so I assumed it is not a worm/parasite. It’s similar to a fish bone almost. I will attach a picture, it is hard to photograph it but you can...

I've come to the decision to turn my 4.2 Gallon spare tank into a Betta tank. This was thought up last week, and I've finally got the tank set up and the betta on the way. The tank was cycled for about 6 weeks before I tore it apart yesterday and reset the whole thing, though the sponge filter...

Hello! I posted a thread a few months ago regarding my Betta. I thought he had bloat initially, but the consensus seemed that it was a tumor. I noticed yesterday that it seems to be turning white. It also seems to be a bit stringy, as you can see in the second photo. I realize there isn’t...

I bought this betta in shop in japan as betta imbellis. But I am not sure if this fish is really imbellis. This fish has red bar in his gill, so I think this betta looks more like splendens or siamorientalis. I don't know well about betta because I've just started betta rearing only 2 month ago...

Hello, I was just looking at my tank when I noted a white spot on the side of my betta's face. I am aware of some diseases such as ick can cause similar-looking spots however this is my first betta so I would like to ask for some opinions. On what the actual spots are and what medication would...

This is a 5 day comparison. No idea what happened. The first day he looked bad but now he is pretty.

Hello! :fish: I am planning on opening up a specialty fish and reptile store. It was mentioned to me that I should start off with breeding and selling from home, which is probably a good idea for now since I'm looking to buy a new home next year. Once I get my house, I do have a plan to set up a...

She got white rings around both her eyes a few weeks ago so I used melafix for a week. It didn’t seem to change much. They seem to be more prominent now but I honestly can’t tell if it’s her coloring or not. She also has a weight issue, I don’t think it’s a disease since she’s very active and...

Hello everyone. Recently I got a new Betta from my local pet store. I'm new to keeping Bettas but after doing research for around the past year I finally decided to get one myself. He's just a common Betta but after a few days I realized the reason his fins didn't look the best was he had been...
