[AUTOPOST] CARESHEET, WIKI & WEEKLY HELP POST - October 05 to October 12

Posted: 05 Oct 2020 03:33 AM PDT

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!

Meet Bloody Sozin! I named him Sozin but my 4 year old insisted he should be named Bloody and I thought the compromise was fitting

I wanted to show of Henry's recovery too

Swim away, dear Predator (aka Preddy). I paid way too much to rescue him, but he may have already been sick/old. At least for 1 week, he has his own tank, planets, and decorations. ��

Betta jumped out of tank, dried up but still alive!

Posted: 05 Oct 2020 02:51 AM PDT

My poor betta managed to jump out of tank, through a small gap in the lid and land on the sofa. I have no idea how long he was there as it happened overnight.

I picked him up expecting him to be dead, he was dry and crispy. To my surprise he started flapping around. I placed him back in his tank and he starting swimming. This happened yesterday morning, he is still alive but looks truly terrible. Has anyone had this happen and their betta survive long term? Can I do anything to help him? Try and add a link to a picture....https://s.amsu.ng/CNADSWRBjraN
