betta

Hi everyone, I'm getting a Betta fish and have read a lot of conflicting information online about their diet. Can anyone give me some idea of what to feed a betta for a balanced diet? Sorry if that's a bit of a silly question, I just want to get this right. Thank you for any and all advice

Sorry if this isn’t an emergency but I’m not sure where to post! I’ve never used this site before. I got this new betta from an aquatics shop on Saturday (now Tuesday). When he first got into the tank he was quite active and his fins looked a bit more showy. Since then he’s been resting and...

Not sure if this is the right place for this thread so please move/delete if necessary. I'm wanting to keep a male betta in a 3ft/33 gallon tank. I want to do a planted tank with sand substrate. And I also want tank mates. I was thinking of having one snowball pleco and about 10-15 mountain...

Hello, I’m new to this forum. I have a elephant ear betta that I can’t figure out what is wrong with his eyes. At first I thought it was pop eye but now I’m wondering if it’s diamond eye. I’ve looked at pictures of both conditions and neither look to me like his condition. I’ve been treating him...

I made a post a couple weeks ago about my girlfriend's betta fish not doing too well. Well the day has finally come, Arthur is dead. I have to assume it's just that he was a PetSmart fish who is in one of those little cups. Water is how it should be and the same as my other tanks. This post...

Hi, I'm a little new to this. I recently cycled a ten gallon Betta tank, (0ppm Ammonia, 0ppm Nitrites, 10-15 ppm Nitrates) after a water change, I added some Neon Tetras to it. Well, all the tetras got stressed and developed Ich. After I noticed it, I immediately bought some Super Ick Cure...

I recently got a few new bettas. They all seem to be doing well. But one boy is just. Constantly swimming against the back of the tank glass. It is a 10 gallon tank that is divided into 2 five gallon sections. The fish on the other side of the divider is doing fine. Swimming around and coming up...

I recently got a betta from Petco to be rehabilitated, who appears to have swimbladder disease since he was only swimming at the bottom of his cup. He doesn't look bloated or anything, but he hasn't been able to swim up without his lower half immediately falling back down. And I know this...

Hey, I have a newer hobby of rehabilitating bettas from pet stores and getting them to good new homes. There's this guy in Petco who looks like he could use a chance, and he's only swimming along the bottom of his cup so he might have some swim bladder disease to treat. But my main issue is that...

My betta has swim bladder which im pretty sure is due to overfeeding, i’ve left him alone for three days and have been trying to feed him peas and he just wont eat.( Ive already checked the ammonia nitrite and nitrate) I don't know what else to do? He just sits at the bottom of his tank

Hi all, I currently have a 105 litre planted, community tank that houses 12 cardinal tetras, 7 ember tetras and one male betta. The tank looks a bit sparse so I was wondering if I could fit in any more fish (tetras if possible)? Thanks in advance!

my fish is still recovering from fin rot but i noticed his belly is a bit bigger than usual and he’s not energetic. i read if you diagnose it wrong, it’ll kill the fish. i’m new to this fish thing so i don’t know if it is or isn’t dropsy. here are pictures. pls help

Hey everyone, First time poster and I am new to the forum - I have been a lurker for a few weeks and appreciating all the info shared. I have had a look online for the answers to my questions (which I couldn't find) so apologies if I am repeating something here. I am new to keeping tropical...

hey guys! i recently bought a pink orchid male and put him in a ~7g tank! he was happy but i noticed him start to get lonely and decided to get him a friend. i learned males can usually live well with females, especially well if i got a seperater. all i had was a breeding tank so i put my new...

Hi all, I will be upgrading my current 10 gallon which houses only a male Betta to a new 105 litre/ 23 gallon tank. I'd like to get some Dwarf Neon Rainbowfish for the new tank and I'd like to know how many I could keep? Any help is much appreciated! Thanks in advance.

Hello, I was just wondering if my betta have popeye, the thing is both of the eyes is the same size... @Deanasue

Im looking to get new artificial plants for my betta because ive been worried about his fins getting ripped on the current ones any recommendations?

Hi, I've had my betta since 3 years ago when I rescued him from poor living conditions in a neighbor's house. His fins have always been droopy, but I've recently noticed they're a little stringy/ torn looking. I don't know much about fish keeping but I try to make sure I get the basic stuff for...
