Sometimes you make eye contact with a fish, and they put a spell on you. You buy them. Even if they look like a bruised peach. I did not choose Lucifer, Lucifer chose me.

Bettas when their tanks have no lid
My new female Betta, Tolkien. Her name was Galadriel because she was white, but she has the Marble Gene so she needed a "broad" name. She's in the middle of a color change right now! ��
Welcome home little dude!

Any fishy friend counsellor here? I think I & my boy needs to be counselled haha (>_<)
I buy him a leaf hammock, silk plants and live moss balls, but no! Osiris would rather sit on the rock feature like a fool
Pretty drastic color change. From Petco to a 5gal freahwater coral reef type tank and this transformation is over 11months

Hello, I'm new here and I joined because I needed info on this. My betta is slowly turning white, with really specific patterns and healthy looking scales. What's happening to him? Is he maybe stressed ou?

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!

Hey guys, I was watching Netflix's new documentary One Planet when they started featuring on wild bettas! It was a really cute bit and thought I'd share in case anyone else wants to watch! It's about half way through episode 7!
