[AUTOPOST] CARESHEET, WIKI & WEEKLY HELP POST - October 11 to October 17

Posted: 10 Oct 2021 10:00 PM PDT

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!

After spotting my Betta with sudden bloating, it appears as if there's something poking out the bottom of his stomach. Are they his organ

Beginner to plants! Need advice/recommendations

Posted: 11 Oct 2021 08:16 AM PDT

Hello! I just got a a betta and hes currently living in a 5 gallon heated tank, but I really want to start getting into live plants for his tank. I have no idea where to buy them or what exactly is best for my fish. I like the floating plants because I feel like his water flow is maybe a bit to strong for him. I also need advice on what types of substrates to buy especially for planted ones!
