[AUTOPOST] CARESHEET, WIKI & WEEKLY HELP POST - May 13 to May 20
My new layout
Ten weeks later. Fuck Walmart.
This is Flag...
Just wanted to share an evening shot of my tank ❤
Babies are nearly ready to leave the nest (no it isn't beer)
This is our new betta Rosegold iPhone 6. He is a huge bubble nester!
When I feed my other bettas before him.
Top view of Red, love his little propellers
I think Achilles likes his new house
Zooom, Lucy loves her tank, the girl who looked like a boi
Meet Orion! Sorry for the glass, needs a clean! Can anyone tell me why some of his scales are turning dark brown?
Ollie's new plants and snails!
He seems a little angry, but I think it’s cute as anything ��
New betta owner here and looking to get a second fish. I have a 10 gallon glass tank that has been in storage. I cleaned it up pretty well but in one corner the silicone seems to be thin. Can I repair it with new silicone without killing a future fish? Is there something special I should use?
One of the better pictures I get of Eros! Such a spunky dude. He’s grown a bit since I got him as well and is a food hog!
Curious, is this his color or is something wrong?
Everyone meet Gilbert aka Gill-Bert yes pun was intended
Everybody, meet my buddy Guy.
Meet Mr Burt Reynolds.
Finally got me buddy a bigger tank, now I just have to wait to get some unsoftened water
After finally getting a heater, Willis is ready for fatherhood!
Ich? Charlie has only been home for 2 days and I’m new to this. Fish-in cycling unfortunately. I don’t have the parameters because I’m getting the testing kit today. Wondering at what point I start treating the tank if it is ich?

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!
