[AUTOPOST] CARESHEET, WIKI & WEEKLY HELP POST - October 19 to October 26
My happy little office tank. My little girl is so pretty and always happy to greet me when I come in the morning.
Here’s my Betta I’ve had him since February and haven’t come up with a name(I can’t find one that sticks) and would like name suggestions. I think he’s 2~ years old because he had been at petco for awhile
Very small Koi Male I brought home yesterday
Food-driven guy trying to copy his new cory tank mates :) he recently started “bottom feeding” whenever he sees them scavenge
4 week difference
Meet my beautiful new betta Ghosteen
So I just found out that the metal wire fairy lights are water proof (just not the battery box) so I did a thing
Rood
Julian finally let me take a nice lil picture
i can’t believe what a two month difference can make. the second pic is my boy now
No more stress lines on Betty! Yay!
My buddy Squeak died just a couple weeks ago, leaving behind my other betta Bubbles. Today I decided to draw both of them. It isn't as good as the other art on here, but it's for him <3
Hat
First Betta Passed Away. Just wanted to show him off when he was in his prime.
Gifted a the cutest betta/Need help !
He gets so protective of his duckweed after every water change
Maximus, then and now
Aeneas was doing great, but then he developed fin melt. Converted his tank to a Walstad after it became clear that he could not handle any water movement due to his chronic SBD. Pics taken 12 hours apart-looks promising? He will be treated with Kanaplex too. Do we have a real chance?
My glo betta
This turned out kinda cool
In the Flow
Pretty boy Gandalf the White, with his brand new hobbit hole.
New boy.Any name suggestions?

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!
