[AUTOPOST] CARESHEET, WIKI & WEEKLY HELP POST - November 09 to November 16

Posted: 09 Nov 2020 02:33 AM PST

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!

When you're so happy your owner finally upgraded you to the 20 gallon tank that you make a bubble nest right in the breeder box

Y’all maybe remember formerly koi boy Zeus who turned out to be koi girl. She’s now named Overstock. I rehoused her at my work where a blue fish was really wanted. She continues to get darker every day!

Kirby terrorized my betta fish

Posted: 09 Nov 2020 07:21 AM PST

Our betta always comes to the side of the tank to say hi. Today I showed him a little (2 inch) plastic Kirby and he panicked, just fled and hid behind his plants and was jumpy the rest of the day. I couldn't figure out why until I realized Kirby has great big eyes, I'm sure that's what did it. My kids did it a couple more times until I caught them and now my fish is in hiding Kirby has been confiscated and I hope my fish doesn't need therapy. (PS this happened a few days ago now, fish looks perfectly OK and Kirby is not allowed in the fish tank room)

What’s the story behind your Betta’s name?

Posted: 09 Nov 2020 10:40 AM PST

How did everyone decide on their names? My Betta was named Scaly not the most creative but I like the simple name. I'm sure everyone has great names
