Please welcome Ketchup. The newest member of my fish fam
This is onion, every night when I roll over and face this bedside tank he is there in his little house looking at me ��❤
New grumpy boy, not sure what to name him yet.
His eyes are the most intense I’ve ever seen.
Who made a bubble nest? You did!
Meet Buster! He’s my very first betta and he’s been in his happier new home for just shy of 3 months now. So glad I found this subreddit :)
Didn’t realize how much my boy galaxy had changed since the day I got him!
Today is my big boy Crusty's "birthday!" (By birthday I mean I bought him a year ago today and I wanted to make a celebratory pic.)
My Little Boi Blue- Beta O’Rourke
Update on Dexter: His coloration is so weird! ��
5 and a half weeks old
My Nugget's bubble game is strong
Day 1 vs now of Rocket, with an extra dose of tannins.
Just got this little fella and taking name suggestions! I’m excited to see him grow
Nova is unamused by his new tank friends!
Gayle getting mad at Gary for existing
Jaspé the Mottled
Last night I lost my gorgeous Kili possibly to a swim bladder problem. He was my desktop buddy and I'll miss him forever
Orion, first morning in his new 10g
My boy B showing off
He's an Angry boy, but loves his best friend
Osiris is a kind overlord, never nipping or eating the shrimp.
Lost my handsome anger boy after a year and a half today. No other fish has ever touched my heart like this.

Welcome to r/bettafish!

Click this link to view our CARESHEET

Quick synopsis of caresheet:

Minimum tank size is 5 gallons (about 20 liters) for a regular sized betta, and 10 gallons (about 40 liters) for a king/giant betta
Bettas need an adjustable heater and a thermometer to ensure water temperature stays between 78-82°F or about 26-28°C
Bettas need a cycled tank- this requires a filter
Bettas need silk or live plants and hidey holes with no sharp edges.
Bettas have a special organ, the labyrinth organ, allowing them to breathe air. They require constant access to air at the top of the tank.
Bettas will jump- it is best to have a tank with a lid

Quick synopsis of the wiki:

Contains info on basic betta care, diseases, potential tank mates, tail types/coloring, differences between males/females, ordering bettas, moving with bettas, setting up sororities and MORE!
This most likely has the answers to your questions. Feel free to ask questions if you are confused or aren't sure about something.

WEEKLY HELP POST

This is the place to ask anything and everything about bettas. Be sure to include your water parameters(ammonia/nitrite/nitrate,) tank size, how long the specific issue has been occurring, and some pictures if there is something which requires a diagnosis (e.g. fin rot/melt, velvet, dropsy.)

How do I upload pictures?

Go to imgur.com and select "New Post". Add all the clear pictures you have so we can better determine what is going on with your fish. It is recommended you set the album to private if you don't want weird comments. Click upload. From there, click the share button- if you are on mobile, hit "copy to clipboard" and paste the link into your comment on here. If on desktop, copy the link and paste it here.

For those new to technology- ctrl + c is copy, ctrl + v is paste.

To have your link like this, put these [ ] brackets around the text you want to show, with no space before the first word or after the last word, and without adding a space after the second bracket, use parentheses ( ) for the link, with no spaces between the parentheses or the link itself.

Be sure to read our rules before posting or commenting.

If your question was not answered yesterday, please feel free to post again!

Ask away!
