[AUTOPOST] CARESHEET, WIKI & WEEKLY HELP POST - January 18 to January 25
This is exactly 3 months apart,didn't realise how much he had changed till I looked back
Meet George! New to Bettas but he was so sad in LFS
I got myself a new Betta today! Isn’t he beautifull? ✨
I finally got another nice shot with my macro lens!
Mars striking a momentary pose
Toothless showing off to the camera.
My new little guy haven’t chose a name yet
My Betta fish changes color in sunlight. Pretty cool!
3 weeks after saving NameTBD
Meet my new guy Kronos! He’s been getting more of a turquoise shimmer in his tail as time goes! He’s a feisty guy for sure.
Got my boy today! A long but slow acclimation but I am so ready for him to join me on my fishkeeping adventures!
Old Man River, staking out a nice relaxing spot for himself. How is it possible to be so in love with bettas?
I was given this betta and I’ve never seen one like it before. Is it normal for the head to have an orange-ish look to it?
I know i will get downvote for this but i just want to share that I’ve successfully do a fish-in cycle with my betta without harming him. It is not advisable to do it if you don’t have the proper knowledge about water cycling. Seachem Prime, water change and test water daily.
Until a few days ago I was keeping him in a 1.5 gallon tank. I was informed as to how wrong that was by this sub. Thanks, I bet he's happier now in his new 10 gallon home.
Rufus is about 5 months old now and is starting to color up
They grow so fast, this is within the span of 3 weeks. I try to change the props setup every week so shark-bait doesnt get bored
She’s pretty✨
Introducing Jasper. He really likes his Japanese lantern.
RIP my boy Milo, I’m gonna miss you
New baby
Honestly the biggest problem I have with keeping cories with bettas (and shrimp) is that the cories can never get a whole meal ugh (but god I love him)
I made an icon for myself and thought you guys might like it
This is my beautiful baby Pluto.

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!
