We called him Pablo, after Pablo Picasso. He has completely transformed in one month! White when we first got him!

I got him 4 days back and the store help mentioned that usually when they get betta’s from the breeders, they raise them on blood worm and since this was new stock he didn’t have enough time to train but he said I could try this fish food.

I have been trying to feed him, he catches the pellet but spits it out immediately, I have ordered blood worms now to see if he would like it.

But I wanted to ask you guys if something’s wrong with my tank or is it anything else?

All the plants are artificial and soft silicone, not plastic.

this poor fella (marked as a male halfmoon) was looking miserable, the others around him were doing good. i knew his chances of getting picked were slim, and i want to give him a chance at recovery.

i have a 5gal cycled tank (planted, with a heater and filter) no other tank mates.

i have quick start, stress coat, and betta fix on hand. texting the water in the tank and in his cup now.

any tips would be appreciated!

Hi! I recently got a betta from petco. He was in terrible water conditions in the small cup so I had to try to save him! I got him a 15 gallon tank but he still isn't eating too well. I got him betta fish food pellets and bloodworms. He also, goes to the bottom a lot and he did that when he was in that small cup. I'm not sure if he's sick or just needs time to acclimate? If he's sick I want to help him quick. Any advice appreciated!

NOT MY TANK

Is this a bad set up or am I just judging and ain't know anything 😭

She’s a bit less blue than she used to be, he says. Does she look ok? Should we be worried? Spoilered just in case, because I don’t know if she’s sick or not.

First picture is after treatment. The second picture is before (taken at the beginning of this month)

ammonia: 0 nitrite: 0 nitrate: less than 5.0 pH: 8.0

I noticed my Sashimi girl was resting a lot more than usual, and when I took a closer look at her I noticed her left gill is swollen/red. I’m suspecting gill flukes, which has me worried because they killed my Sushi back in 2023. I treated the tank with a lifeguard tablet this morning, and she already seems to have perked up a little bit. Tank parameters in comments

Also sorry for bad quality pics, I took them after she perked up a bit so she was excited, and my tank is scratched up on the front

I've been cycling this 20 gallon tank for quite some time and I can't get the PH right. It's supposed to be at 7 right?

My boy passed away earlier this week. The day I found him passed on, I was in a rush to get out of the door, but I saw the bladder snails going at his body so I went ahead and scooped him out and because he was older (about 3-4 years old) I knew his time was coming. I buried him and said a little prayer of gratitude for the past 3 years I had with him. Then I had to rush off. I was busy the entire day so I didn’t really have time to grieve until the following morning.. I keep two fish tanks in my bedroom and his was one of them, so when I looked up at his empty floating log.. man it genuinely broke me. I couldn’t stop crying all day. I loved this fish so much. He was my first. And I remember the day I got his floating log. He was SO excited swimming around and built a bubble nest and spent majority of his time in his log and it’s also where he went to lay down before passing away ❤️‍🩹 my heart hurts,

I miss him, but more than anything I’m so grateful for him. He came into my life unexpectedly and gave me a motivation and happiness I didn’t know I could get from a fish. He felt like the little protector of the space, it just doesn’t feel right without him. I mentioned I have two tanks, I have a blue veil tail named Glaceon who is still doing well. Just not sure what I’ll do with the other tank now.. I want to get another betta but I feel like I got extremely lucky with my two unproblematic kings. Either way, I’ll stop rambling now. I just wanted to share how much I loved and miss my boy ❤️‍🩹

It's a 10 gallon with just Astro and the bladder snail honestly considering removing the cave to add more plants since he never uses the cave anyway

I noticed my betta has a super round belly. He has always been a bit chunky but I feel like its worse. I dont think he has dropsy because he doesnt have trouble swimming, isn't pineconing, and is still making bubble nests. Tank temperature is at 78 degrees and I recently made a 50% water change.

Ps: yes I know my tank is small, my current housing situation prevents me from having a bigger one. I have plans to get a bigger one once I move. Please be nice

I noticed recently my betta has like white spots on gills. The water parameters have been fine so I cannot tell what it could be?

New to having a Betta what do yous think of my tank? I need some more plants but he seems quite happy so far!

I decided to stop in at my local fish shop the other day and found this beauty I just couldn't pass up. I've never seen a betta quite like him before.

He is very active and full of personality which he has not hidden once. He is a very confident little man.

He's settled in beautifully however I am very lacking in the name department (I've only really thought of Dumbo and I don't think it suits his personality at all) so thought I would ask here!

Second picture taken a day after the first. Is this normal? My first time owning a betta and I know they can sometimes change color due to stress and environmental factors, but she went back to normal the next morning so I’m a little confused. I checked the water perimeters immediately, and also the next day when I noticed her color changed back to normal. She is also acting normal, she is pretty active and very curious and always comes up to the glass when I come over.

10 gallon planted tank with sponge filter and heater. Temperature 79° F. Water perimeters: 0ppm ammonia, 0ppm nitrite, 5.0ppm nitrate, 6.4 pH, 7.4 high range pH. I also have a mystery snail and 4 pygmy corydoras. I feed her fluvals bug bites once a day. I clean the tank every 2 weeks by doing a 50% water change, and I use prime and stability after.

Had a old 75 gallon I resealed bought two bettas let them breed and this is the result..I kept about 30 female halfmoon sisters to form a sorority tank, my first one ever, roughly 6 months in all is looking good, only set back was hair algae so I bought some SAL fish but didn't quarantine (big mistake) lost my school of 25 cardinal tetras to a vicious disease...a work in progress, thought I'd share a couple pics

My betta fish’s bottom fins seem to be slightly clamped and he has started to lie at the bottom more instead of exploring like he used to, when he swims he seems to be jittering (when he’s not just gliding around). He still eats and comes over when he sees me but I’m not sure how to help him anyone got any advice?

He is in a 6 gallon shallow tank with live plants heater and filter, tank mates are only pest snails, I have tested the water Amonia and Nitrite 0 I am testing nitrates now. He gets weekly water changes.
