[AUTOPOST] CARESHEET, WIKI & WEEKLY HELP POST - January 13 to January 20
SIP Atlas. You were majestic and beautiful and had a wonderful few months the with us. I found him this morning a shrimp tail peaking out of his mouth and he was gone. Guessing he couldn't get it down or get it out ☹️
Arthur kinda grumpy today
Newest betta, Admiral.
Nobody:
Ignoring the stained and messy desk... how does everyone like my new tank and setup! My Java fern has dozens of babies so I finally separated them (should’ve done a long time ago) and planted the lil babies too!
Impulse buying at its finest.. Pls help with name ��
Finally took a good photo of my boy Spoon
Emotions by Nip
Meet Egg!
I cried when I opened this
My new betta koi
Update on pearl. He's doing much better! His fin rot is cured and he's swimming happily. Thanks to the fellow redditors who helped him recover. :)
The day Vladislav stole my heart.
My handsome boy died two days ago and I am just so sad, I miss him so much, but he is not in pain anymore.. The people around me have been so insensitive and think I'm nuts for being so sad. Thank you to the betta parents out there who understand the sadness one feels after their betta has passed ��
This is Jack! I've had him for nearly 6 months now ��
Hand made confetti themed betta made from sculpey premo translucent clay
Gotta love his dumb face
Meet Yakult! Named after the Asian yogurt drink because his coloring reminds me of it in certain light. Still camera shy. So happy to have lucked out finding such a gorgeous white opal male at my local Petco.
Sonic after three weeks of proper nutrition and care! He has a way to go still but I'm so proud of him.
Look at my grumpy little duuuude
He's yet to find a resting place he likes.
Meet Nugget
After tons of rescapes the living room 20 long is finally we’re I want it
This is my first planted tank! Do you think it's okay for my Betta? I'm waiting for it to cycle now. 5 gallon heated and I baffled the filter.

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!
