He’s always ready for a photo! Love the turn out on this little dude’s home ��
When you need to net your betta
A bit obsessed with his colours
Learned a lot about keeping a betta in the last week. Got him last Monday, this is my first personal legitimate tank :)
Friends with the janitor
My boys.
meet godot! went to my lfs to get plants for his brother, and i ended up leaving with him! he’s chilling in my spare 5gallon while i wait for the 15 my sister’s giving me! im thinking he might be a mustard gas but he’s just really faded in color, what do you guys think?
Fettuccine is the king of the community tank and enjoys checking in on his citizens
Manus enjoying some surf’ ��
This is Copper. I rescued this guy from Petco last month. They found his cup was broken and almost died. He was really sad and barely moved. He is now a very happy and friendly betta fish.
My boi getting ready to eat some grindal worms (literally the easiest live food to culture)
Koi HMPK getting ready for a new batch of babies ��
❤️❤️❤️
I added some gravel from her old tank and some floaters and she's so excited! watching pets get excited over what you do for them for makes it worth it. :)
His fins are finally getting some new growth, so he decided to show off! This is the first time he has sat long enough for me to get a clear photo☺️
In love with my new boy! From severe ammonia poisoning and fin rot to living like a king �� ❤️ obsessed with his colors and sweet personality!
this guy has no idea how spoiled he's going to be
I just realized, my mug kinda looks like a betta! Is it a betta fish?
Gasping Betta? Details below.
From Petco cup to fully planted tank :)
From “I will only stay in this cave” to “make sure you get my good side”
Can’t tell if his fin rot is healing or getting worse? but his tail is def growing!! ive compared with past pictures. shout out to @lukewarmlimejuice and @Dd7990 my tank parameters are clean! almond leaf+weekly twice changes+ supervision feeding has helped tremendously!
John snow is still a little mad about getting new friends.
My new girl, Daphne :)

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!
