[AUTOPOST] CARESHEET, WIKI & WEEKLY HELP POST - April 22 to April 29

The adventures of Kevin and Steve

Japanese Spring!
Jack the Flipper unimpressed with his photo being taken
after losing two bettas to old age (both were going on 4 years) in the same week, i thought i’d never get one again. as an easter present, mom got me this pretty boy. his name is Opum!! this is the first time he’s come out for the camera :)
Indigo is living up to his namesake. Even this picture doesn’t give those blues justice!
Adams drastic nine month transformation
The silliest little face!
Stopped mid stride walking past this guy. Took him home.
Meet Eirwen! The pictures don’t do yet colours justice. She’s a gorgeous pale turquoise and white.
Dominic
I was trying to watch my two largest shrimp interact but someone is always hungry for attention (and bloodworms)
My 10 gallon upgrade for my two bettas with divider. I love their little worlds.
Alfredo’s redesigned tank
What a difference a week (and a cycled, heated tank) makes. Meet the tiny but mighty Titus Invictus!
A little update on both tanks. I finally got rid of all fake plants in my tank and all but one in the other tank. I’m happy with how they’re both turning out!
Happy Easter Everyone! Since you all seemed to love the picture I uploaded of Tron yesterday, I figured I'd introduce you all to his sister, Pixel!
Omega likes the camera
SIP... unfortunately the betta I bought the other day did not make it through the night
He doesn’t like being woken up during nap time ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Spider wood appreciation post
Happy to report that Tsukino's tail is healing up nice. This the best shot of him because he is just a massive grump pot and hates photos

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!
