betta

Hello, i have a question about betta fish i am thinking of buying a betta fish in a couple months, i have owned many fish in the past but all got diseases. so i decided not to use gravel this time. My reason is because if he gets a small cut, i dont want the gravel to roughen' him up and...

Both physically and behavior wise. I know that they're healthy when they don't have any visible signs of diseases, but what else? Thanks

After I changed my betta water, my betta fish flipped sideways. It felt like the betta died. Then it floated up but it could still swim.

Yes, I have read that this is probably a bubble nest, and is in fact a good thing, but from what I understand.. I thought the nest would only be in a specific place in the tank, Ziggy's bubbles are everywhere! So as I was researching, I read that it could be protein buildup or something.. so I...

I bought my fish about a year ago.. for the past couple month he has stopped eating. Always at the bottom of the tank or hiding in the leaves..I clean his tank every 7 days. My other betta fish is fine but I am worried about the sick one ): I need advice!

well from the same question as the bleeding one, the bleedings stopped (for a while now) and hes still alive, but idk if he'll be able to eat since his mouth is almost above water...so he wont be able to pick it off the floor... and to some of the answers from my other question: i keep my...

Which is more hardy, possibly smarter, better personality and is more ejnoyable/pretty?

I'm going to university next year and the only pets that residence allows are fish and the maximum size tank they will allow is a 5 gal. I would like to get a betta fish and some other pretty fish as well to have variety, but I want to make sure I don't overcrowd the tank. What types of fish...

My brother's betta Neo has been getting progressively worse in the past 2 weeks. At first, he was very lethargic, and now he doesn't even come to the top to breathe. He won't eat anything. I don't think he's ate in a week. I've used Jungle Parasite Cure and it doesn't seem to have had any effect...

My boyfriend bought a betta one week ago without knowing anything about this fish. I told him to let me check on the internet about his care...well he decided to ignore me and he put the fish in a bowl where I had a plant. He fed him one of those 7day blocks. Today I woke up and he was on the...

I'M SORRY THIS IS SO LONG, BUT I NEED HELP PLEASE!! so i put betta in a gallon fish tank. i've had it for 2 days, and it's not eating. and my betta is discolored and pale. it could be the water temp (my house is 65 degrees), so i bought a heater, but the fish seemed to be avoiding it. and some...

I bought a Betta fish. I'm using my mom's vase as a tank. I put him in with 3 other regular fish. ( The cheap kind you would get at Wal-mart.) I'm currently wondering is there a specific filter and/ or heater that requires a certain tank? If so please list some brand named tanks,filters, and...

My beta fish has been laying on the bottom of the tank for a couple weeks or so now. So I have isolated her into a smaller jar, the one she came in. I tried a salt water bath(it fixed her ich) but that didn't change a thing, so i have her in fresh water again, and I'm changing the water like...

It's kinda weird but I keep my betta in a one gallon tank and I always have to clean it up many times. My dad is keep on saying that a bigger tank is much more work than a smaller tank. Is that true or false? When I was a kid I bought some fish then they died the next day. Maybe I didn't know...
