[AUTOPOST] CARESHEET, WIKI & WEEKLY HELP POST - May 20 to May 27

Posted: 20 May 2019 03:33 AM PDT

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

Click this link to view our WIKI

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!

Posted this guy who seemed to be dying in his cup at Petco about 3 weeks ago he wasn’t even able to swim without being on his side I thought for sure he wouldn’t make it. Here we are 3 weeks later and you would never know something was ever wrong!

“Pet rent” per betta, must rehome asap

Posted: 20 May 2019 06:39 AM PDT

My apartment's new owner is adding a clause to leases being renewed stating that each fish counts as a pet, and we will be charged $60/month per pet with only two pets allowed max. We have two cats and three Bettas, so I have to rehome my Bettas in the next month. Any advice on how to do this if none of my trustworthy friends are interested in taking them? Moving to a new apartment isn't an option right now.

It took me half an hour of luring my little guy with my finger, BUT... here you go!

Say hello to my new boy, Icarus! Sorry for the weird angle, he’s busy zooming around his new 10 gallon tank :)

Posted: 19 May 2019 05:23 PM PDT

3 weeks difference! First was right after he was put in his new 12 gal, and second was just now!

I love when Hera makes bubble nests!

Meet my new cutie Lila! Any suggestions to keep her happy and healthy?

I can’t believe Tony’s been with me for 3 months. I love him.

He likes it!!!

Some quality shimmy action from Mr. Kubo. So proud of his growth after some fin rot!

Posted: 20 May 2019 10:22 AM PDT

Tank finally cycled and the boys are in their new homes and doing well! Question: how to use aquarium salt? TBone (right) is still recovering from a bad case of fin rot.

Picasso's not-quite-2-month color change. Difference from end of March to early May. Sorry for poor pix quality, he's hard to photograph because he's always moving.
