[AUTOPOST] CARESHEET, WIKI & WEEKLY HELP POST - October 12 to October 19

Posted: 12 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!

My betta recently passed away. I couldn't stand the empty tank after a week. So I went to the pet store and asked the employee which betta had been there the longest and looked the saddest. He took some time to really think about it before handing me this guy. 2-3 months on a shelf. Welcome home.

Black Fins? I've had my baby Betta- "Waffle" for a week now and was so excited when his colors started getting more vibrant. He was almost completely pale when I got him and had no color on his tail yet at all (pictured) Today I noticed Black on his tail and scales. Is this normal/healthy?

I introduce Star. I love the way he flare

Introducing Hadrian! Sick but active baby betta I adopted from work. He had some sort of worm poking out of his gills, I'm planning to medicate him with Prazipro.

I’ve had this guy for a couple weeks. I’ve never seen him flare although he acts agitated when he sees his reflection in a mirror.

A happy gal in her new tank!

About this time last year, I posted about my husband and daughters coming home one day with a spur-of-the-moment purchase of a female baby betta named Harmony. Imagine my DELIGHT as a mother to suddenly have something new to take care of around the house. Sigh.

Well anyway, you were all very helpful on that first post. She's been upgraded to a bigger tank, has some little harlequin rasbora friends, and a snail (it's hiding behind some plants here). I just finally got her some real plants, and hoping to get her some cool driftwood too.

She's a happy one-year-old!
