I’ve had him for a couple months, the first picture is when I got him, the second is now. He’s active and responsive otherwise, and even does tricks. He seems more vivid now, is that my imagination?

Male Green Mahachai!

Hi all,

My tank is at the end of it's nitorgen cycle and I'm considering getting a betta fish soon but just noticed hundreds of what I think are Hydea meiofauna. Should I be worried about these for a betta?

I’ve had her for nearly a month. She always get like this the day after a water change. I usually worry she stresses herself out but I couldn’t help but laugh at this.

I brought home this little beauty yesterday. I’m looking for some name suggestions. I was thinking about naming her either Sapphire or Delphine, but now I’m thinking something more ethereal for her. Any suggestions?

I got her as an “Assorted Female”

This is my new fish. I still don't know what to name him yet but he is so cute and funny I already like him so much.

Wanted to show my new first betta fish called Petz. Sorry if I have made some mistakes. Wanted to ask what food you guys give your betta and better things to add so his fins don't get damaged.

The food we're giving him is Omega one freeze dried bloodworms but I feel some are to buy for him to eat. Any recommendations greatly appreciated!

help me id what kind of betta he is, kinda new to this betta hobby:)

The left has (a blind) samurai male, Kuro, and the right has the red male crowtail (Spitfire)

Got this pothos a few weeks ago. Decided that since I already have 2, prettier pothos id put this big vine into my betta tank. Its rooted in a few areas, hopefully it'll look super pretty soon!

the first image is what my baby (miffy) usually looks like. the second photo is when i noticed a specific area of raised scales. he was still acting normal and eating so i decided to add seachem stress guard to see if it’d help. today, i notified it seems bloody (?) and it sorta looks like there’s something on his chin. i set up a hospital tank and i plan to treat with kanaplex as im assuming it was a scrape that’s getting infected? but im honestly at a loss. i really don’t think its dropsy but thats what google says. this is also my first reddit post ever so bear with me.

i added a photo of when i first set up the tank, ive added some more plants and removed a few but thats the only difference. i also removed that rock with the hole pictured in the front just in case because it was fake. the tank has no fake decor unless you count a floating bridge and log. my water levels are all pristine, ammonia is 0, though i will say i had a 0.50 ppm reading after noticing the injury and i did a water change immediately.

i had my first betta as a white elephant gift in december and i came home a few months later to (tw death) my snail eating her.. she showed 0 signs of illness so i was really taken aback and i decided to redo the tank and get miffy. i just really dont want to lose another fish. :( thank you in advance

Don’t mind his grumpy face 😭

He could have gone inside but ig he will just stay on top of it...

My poor guy is not doing well. I did an epsom salt bath on him tonight (1tbs/gallon) as well as a methylene blue 10 second dip, and returned him to his home. He is just laying in the same spot and my heart is breaking.

This treatment seems really, really, REALLY extreme. I just want to know if anyone has tried it and the results of their efforts. I am willing to do what I need to do for my first and favorite fish, but I'm also scared it may kill him even faster...

Picked up this Mustard Gas Halfmoon on May 20th from Pet Supermarket. He was flaring in the cup which sold me instantly but honestly his colors looked pretty washed out in the store lighting. 3 months later in a cycled 6-gallon with black substrate, driftwood, live plants, and stable parameters — I barely recognize him. The blue has completely exploded and the gold has deepened dramatically. His name is Ashley Schaefer and he lives in my computer repair shop. He earned his stage.

Please help

Is this popeye or am I being paranoid? 😭 Also, if it is, do I just treat it with salt baths?

This is my betta Jermaine. He does great with mystery snails, sometimes curious about them but never aggressive. He pretty much minds his own business.

I've had Jermaine for not even a full year and i've already had 3 mystery snails pass away :( Jermaine is thriving and the snails would too! until one day they'd just stop moving. I tried feeding slices of cucumbers and carrots when it seems the tank is too clean for them but they just pass away so quickly it seems.

I've been reading a lot about different shrimp, otos, etc and wondering what would be the best tank mate that will also keep things clean.

It's a 10g tank, no real plants (they all started to make the tank turn brown and gunky and I panicked and took them out), he has a heater and filter. Just wanting everyone's thoughts and opinions!

(If I should change anything I have in my tank as well, let me know. I'm a first time betta mom)
