Hi all

. I've been reading the forum for a while now and decided it's time to introduce myself. I've been wanting to start a betta tank for a while now and still trying to figure out where to start. All help would be greatly appreciated!

Hi Dawn Welcome to Fish Lore

Here's a great resource to help in your research on betta care:
Welcome and Betta Care Guide - Please Read First!!!

I see you know about cycling. I hope you'll consider cycling your tank before bringing home a betta baby.

Good luck, the members have a wide range of experience and are always willing to help.

Welcome to Fish Lore. Lots of great info here and so many experienced and knowledgeable fish keepers.

Thanks for the welcome guys! I'm definitely going to cycle my tank before adding a fish. I've kept fish before but it was at least 15yrs ago. From reading this forum, I don't know how they survived for 5 years. I didn't do half of the things suggested for proper fish care.

Welcome to FL. Watch out there's a incurable Disease traveling throughout the members of this site. Is Multi Tank Syndrome(MTS). Is really contagious and like i said there's no cure for it. I had it since I'm in High School and I'm 34 now so be aware of keeping your mask on when talking to other members.

Welcome.

Welcome.

I probably already have MTS! I go into petco and see all the miserable bettas and want to take them home! I'm trying to figure out the most economical way to get at least 3 LOL.
