sick betta

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...

TLDR: Female betta with visible ich for 4 days (4 maximum spots and 1 current spot) is breath fast and has lowered activity. Is it possible a secondary disease and if so, what could it be? Our family is trying to set up a sorority betta tank and have not been having any luck getting the tank...

Can anyone help me with my sick betta. Has been loosing color just wants to sit in corners up top

Hello everyone! I've been very stressed about my Betta, Dobby, I received him for a white elephant gift and I'm determined to be a good fish dad! Everything is new, tank, heater, lights, plants, filter, etc. Dobby won't eat and is hanging at the top of the time and is very lethargic! Took a...

There are weird marks in my bettas gills and black spots on his tail.

Hello! I'm not sure if this is the correct place to put this, so please let me know if I should move to a different part of the forum :) About a month ago my betta Mickey came down with what I thought was ich, so I treated him consistently with Ich-x and did water changes and all that. The white...

Hello! I have a double tail betta fish who has developed light spots on his fins, and his fins look very torn up. When I first noticed the fins starting to look jagged, I took all the silk plants out, and replaced them with live ones. There’s nothing sharp in the tank. The spots have been on his...

Hello, I have had my betta fish for about a month now and since I have gotten him he has been very active and happy. I have him in a 5 gallon tank with live plants, drift wood, and clay slates. I have adjusted the water flow so its not too strong, do weekly water changes about 30% of the...

Hi I’m the worst at making decisions. Can someone please tell me what they think my betta has. He is floating sideways on the top.

I came home and my betta was at the bottom of his tank, not moving much and laying on his side. I changed his water two days ago, but he seemed fine earlier. I have moved him to a cup with new treated water and he is moving a bit more. Though he seems to swim to the top for a bit, then sink to...

So I have this little female betta I had only a few weeks. I noticed the other day her belly is getting big. I only fed every other day and when I do she hardly eats that much so I know she isn’t just fat. Today while doing a tank clean I’ve noticed she doesn’t have as much energy has she used...

Hi everyone, I have had a betta fish since February with no problems, he lives with 3 African Dwarf Frogs and there are no issues with his tank mates. I went away back to university for 10 days and (did my usual 25-50% water change before I left) when I came back he was hiding in one corner of...

just tonight i noticed a speck on my betta that i assume is ich. i normally wouldn’t be so freaked out but i leave for a 6 day vacation on thursday so i know i can’t do much between now and then. i have somebody lined up to feed him but i have no medications and i can’t rely on this person to...

Anyone know what could be wrong with my poor Cambria? I’ve had her for over 3 years, bought her when she had bad fin and tail rot. Recently she’s had white specs on her body that looked like her fins were “flaking” off, I thought it was Ich, or columnaris so ive used melafix and fungus cure, but...

Hi all, My tank is fully cycled, with ammonia 0.0, nitrite 0.0 and pH 7-8. Temperature is 26. I change about 20-25% of the water every week, using Tetra AquaSafe and Tetra SafeStart. The tank is planted with Anubias, Java Fern, Java Moss, Staurogyne Repens, Vallisneria Torta and RotaIa...

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...

I just got a new beta from a pet store a few days ago and I noticed he was pooping this white stringy stuff. Does anyone know what it is???

Hi, Elsa is sick - I noticed he was lethargic and not himself about 2 weeks ago. Then he swelled up, and subsequently stringy poop - initially usual red colour, then grey-white. He went into a hospital tank last Friday, with aquarium salt (1 tablespoon in 15 litres of water) and first dose of...

I previously posted about my betta with swim bladder and he hasnt gotten any better which had led me to thinking it could be something else im just worried and its been around a week he wont eat anything either i tried peas and he refused them.
