SIP Sir Reginald, known by his friends as Reggie. You were the angsty-est fish I’ve ever had. I’m playing My Chemical Romance’s “Helena” in your honor.
as a starbucks barista and a betta mom this hit a very specific niche
Named Tavington after the antagonist in The Patriot because they are both jerks who wear red.
When I spotted a scuzzy green container with a sad, skinny little fish I made my s/o promise not to kill me. I am happy to report that Mugwump and I are both alive and well. Mugwump has even gone through quite the glow up!
Dapple happy as an apple.
Just bird watching...

Flames. This is an old photo that I just found of my late dollar store betta.
My betta (Maverick) jumped off the tank two months ago, since then he hasn’t recovered, only gotten worse. He was out of the water for 10-20 mins until I noticed him. I’ve tried everything for fin rot, but nothing seems to help.He’s eating just fine and knows when it’s dinner time.

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!
