[AUTOPOST] CARESHEET, WIKI & WEEKLY HELP POST - April 20 to April 27
I recently lost my betta Professor Walnut, but yesterday this angry dude was the only betta left at Petsmart. Say hello to my grumpy lil man, Jim Lahey!
i got bored and doodled some random bettas i found on here!!
He’s just pretending to be mad at me, he actually loves me.
My female betta fish created her own bubble nest and released her eggs without a male...
Got bored and drew my boy :) Gonna draw my plakat next :D
Decided to draw Nyx too (cuz it wouldn't be fair to just draw Ozy)~
new boy Dino ate all our baby snails. good job Dino!!!!
My betta schools
RIP little buddy. Lucifer here lived to be 3 years old, survived 2 moves, and was spoiled as all hell the entire time. You'll be missed man.
Here’s a Pic if my Crown Fish before and After �� his Name is crown but in Spanish Corona
Beep feeding frenzy! We recently started harvesting our own brine shrimp. The fish are thankful.
Thought I’d make a little appreciation post for Fishgerald seeing as he is starting to look a whole lot better from the fish store life
This is my boy Ghost ��
I’m glad Fsh isn’t camera shy
we all start somewhere... :) from late feb to today
new addition!! can’t wait to see what colors he gets, i can already see some teal :)
He's mad at me because I woke him up. Sorry Buddy
Doing his water testing. I love how he's curious and not afraid of me reaching in. Probably hoping it was food.
This is Corn Chip. He loves his new grass so much that he tore most of it out by rolling in it
There isn't much worse than waking up and finding your buddy on the substrate.
Carnelian is fitting right in!
This pretty little agry boi is Lucky!
Why’s he like this...
So cool seeing how much he has changed in such a short period of time!

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!
