[AUTOPOST] CARESHEET, WIKI & WEEKLY HELP POST - January 06 to January 13

Posted: 06 Jan 2020 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!

Stolen post, always ensure proper tank temperature.

Haven’t had a betta in about two years since my last one passed. I forgot how much I loved to put tanks together! Does it look alright?

Got a macro lens for Christmas. Just wanted to show off a bit by saying that I haven’t edited the photo in any way, he’s just a pretty angry boi.

Thanks for your fishies !

Posted: 06 Jan 2020 02:29 AM PST

I just wanted to thanks all of you guys for your beautiful pictures and fishies! I just subbed to some complete different subs than I had because I go through a bad mental health stage in my life and I didn't wanted to feed it even more with suicide memes or similar subs. So now you guys became a big part of my daylie routine and I always wake up to a new gorgeous fella of you. I would love to have one myself sometime but in my current situation I can't afford such little guy and on top I think I should take care of me first before I could become a good parent. So all I wanted to say is thank you guys you and your little colorful friends light up my day!
