[AUTOPOST] CARESHEET, WIKI & WEEKLY HELP POST - November 25 to December 02

Posted: 25 Nov 2019 02:33 AM PST

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!

My little man, Moo, always has the zoomies.

He was a good fish, with the heart of a cranky old man. He would flare at you if thought you were doing something that you shouldn’t be doing. He will be missed deeply

Still not great but better then it was, my local petland upgraded to this display where there is heated filtered water constantly circulating through all of the cubes

I had him for two years. He moved with me across the country when I had my traveling job (moved 2 cities in WA and then MA). He kept me company. This was his pic from 5 years ago.

My new boy that I’ve gotten yesterday. He’s shy so I was lucky to snap this photo of him! (He has no name atm)

Fluval Spec 5 3d printed lid rails mod

Posted: 25 Nov 2019 09:10 AM PST

I was really unhappy after spending a lot of money to discover how crummy the Fluval Spec 5 lid is. I've got a very curious cat and a very jumpy betta, it wasn't going to cut it. So I designed and 3d printed some rails for a pane of glass to replace it.

I'd guess there's a good amount of Fluval Spec 5 owners here, but maybe not a lot of 3d printers. In the off chance there is, check this out if you are also unhappy with your lid:
