Betta Nebula
Apollo is almost like 2 different fish side to side
One week later. He’s back to his normal self. Thanks for all the help.
Meet Wit. He wasn't the prettiest or healthiest koi boy in the store, but he booped my finger and my heart melted. Top is in the store, bottom left is first day in his quarantine tank, bottom right is day 10 in quarantine tank. He's already changed so much!
Alright, I've think I've decided on a name for my pretty koi girl. Everyone, I'd like to introduce Vivian.
Little lemon drop waving hello!! (Female appreciation post!)
He found the algae wafer i hid ��
Made a water bridge for klaus I felt bad he only had a 20L now he has 40L over 2 tanks and I think he loves it alot
I made the tactical error of getting guppies as roommates for my angry boi. the good news is that it was great justification for setting up another tank
Hi everyone I just got this guy today and I already love him so much. Name suggestions are welcome!
Another beauty from my spawn. There is so much variety!
I swear 90% of my phone storage is occupied by blurry pictures of fish. Takes 100 pictures to get 2 that are in focus lol
My recently passed betta who was purchased from the dollar store.
Frankensteins’ home growing in nicely
Got this little beautiful fish yesterday. He really seems to be happy in his new home. He is called Août.
Meet Pericles, the blue mahachai!

Fruit Fly DIY Trap - Live food for your Betta Fish
Due to COVID Bruce was left in a dorm room and now has fin rot. He is finally back with me and beginning to recover.
36 days old Queen of the fry. She is huge. Shorter than her mother but fins are already bigger and looking as a totally grown up adult. Never seen her flaring on her smaller siblings. Please ignore her round belly. Just fed them all. From now I guess I have to separate her while feeding small fry.
His name is Kraken ❤️��

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!
