[AUTOPOST] CARESHEET, WIKI & WEEKLY HELP POST - November 23 to November 30
Blood worms, please?
My spiky enjoy these overgrown plants, think I will skip the trimming:-)
Here’s a better look at my driftwood betta
Picked up this pretty boy yesterday!
Poor girl was so so skinny when she arrived, she looks much better already!
I wanted to share my first attempt at a planted tank for my female betta Dmitri. Any comments or suggestions on the scape?
Saw this beautiful guy at Petco! Something tells me if he had a warm, clean tank he would turn entirely dark
He said ��
Brought this guy home today! Couldn’t pass him up!
Decided to have a female betta sorority tank. Now my tank is lively and colourful ��
A little over 2 weeks and my new tank is finally cycled!! So excited for Jasper to be in his new home! Can’t wait to see the plants grow too
Bruce! I just love him ❤️
Moon’s first bubble nest - look mom!
My only long-finned boy. I call him Azkaban because he looks like a dementor when he swims.
Bean is coming out of his shell! i’ve been at my desk all morning for remote learning and he’s been zipping around his tank and super curious about what i’m doing
Our betta boys, Stripes and Snowball. They started as my 7 yo sons, but I have inadvertently fallen in love.....“Hey mom, can I get two of these $3 fish?” has turned into a full-blown betta obsession for us ❤️
Nico is a naughty baby
This is the same fish.
when i got him at the store he was swimming sideways and the jar he was in was half filled with water, they were going to throw him out because noone wanted him...two weeks later, his color is more lively and the blue spots by his tail is more prominent. I named him Aphfel, i hope he's happier
Just got my betta today and he is quite the beauty.
Little cotton ears ❤️
Taking pictures of him is very difficult, but when I manage to get one they always look pretty cool.
My new betta from PetSmart. He was in excellent shape and vibrant color, and I just couldn't resist and added my 10th fish tank. Need name suggestions.
I’m not going to tell you how long I spent making these coconut tiki hideouts...
SIP to my OG, Chaeto... he was with me for almost 3 years. From a pet store cup, to a half gal, to a 2.5 gal, and to a 5 gal. ��

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!
