So moody but so pretty :) Mr RuPaul.
Got my second betta! I really love his colours ��❤️ His breeder said he’s a Nemo Koi Plakat Betta. Still thinking of a name!
They start so small! Baby betta smaragdina, 1 day old -- in 2-4 months it'll be aggressively defending its territory from those pesky snails
You guys suggested I put my king betta from a 5G to a 10G. So here’s his upgrade!
Neptune demands food in the morning
Cozy hornwort

Introducing Juno!! He’s going to have a happy life in his planted 5gal :)
I think Juniper is loving his new tank
Already a bubble nest after only a day ��I'm so happy.
We got our boy into his new home today! He's very angry about his reflection so far.
Paid $5 (aud) for this little guy, already looks happier in his 21litre tank (5 gallon) than he was in his cup at the pet shop. Say hello to Yeezus
Blaze says, "GIVE ME FOOD!"
Meet my 3 y/o, Marley

Say hello to Destiny’s Child because he is a survivor
New eye who dis?
Orchie in his new home! It's a work in progress.
Milky Way Galaxy posing for the camera! He’s so happy now that he’s finally eaten. Thank you for everyone who helped me figure things out
Anyone else have occasional existential crises watching their fellas maintain a beautiful nest for a mate that you know will never come?
Anger boy in his log.

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!
