[AUTOPOST] CARESHEET, WIKI & WEEKLY HELP POST - August 12 to August 19
Opal in the cup vs. Opal one week in the tank
SIP my beautiful boy
Steve’s really grown in the past 7 months
Nori checking out his new home :-)
Tfw your owner has the audacity to walk past your tank and not drop treats from the sky
This is so true
Poor Tortilla (my new snail) doesn't get any love. They have been tank mates for only 5 days.
Release the shrimp, human.
Iri is showing off this morning.
Goodby my friend. R.I.P. Prometheus
subway on her way to her new 20 gallon :)
This is one of my females, Mad-moiselle.
Not my betta (he's in a display at work) but I'm in love
Here is Bepop, this beautiful lad is always happy to see us and damn happy to show us his new bubble nest.
Brought home a new red copper friend! Any name suggestions?
My beautiful boy Mars of 1 year! Have some concerns about his fins?
Mizu’s 3 month transformation
Horrible quality pic but Honda Civic wasn’t happy with me today
Finally a clear shot of Moby
Is it just me or does it look like he’s guarding his house so no one comes in? I had a few red cherry shrimp in there with him but they didn’t last long with Balerion the Dread on the hunt. I didn’t think he would eat them since I was told they can swim faster than a betta can.
Poseidon’s tank is complete
Updated transformation comparison of Momo! Sometimes I forget just how drastic his colours have deepened. I love the difference. <3
Found this handsome boy, too bad I can't take him home
I upgraded Balerion from a 10g tank to a 20g long tank and added some more plants, decorations and a sign and he’s loving it. He just hates getting his picture taken.
My lil dumbo

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!
