Yeah that's exactly what I did too. I did have a heater and filter that came with the tank but what's a cycle? Why are all of my fish dying? I had no clue

I don't know if I can actually blame myself for all of this but I regret not doing any research before getting into the fish hobby. I was 14. I didn't know that this hobby would be so complicated. So many fish died that shouldn't have.

There is swelling on his face but to me it doesn't look entirely solid hahah, but besides that I agree with you

So you're doing a fish-in cycle? You have to watch the ammonia, nitrite and nitrate levels very closely, because those could be the reason he's acting like this. Please do at least a 50% water change asap because the beneficial bacteria mostly grow in the filter and substrate, and it will bring...

What are the water parameters? Did you cycle the aquarium? Could you maybe provide us with a picture? All of those things would help us out a lot

Thank you for the pictures! From what I can see, they look like they're filled with liquid, which is weird. Are they soft and do they warp or are they hard? If they're hard they could be tumours but I don't know if danios can get tumours.

We'll need a picture to be able to help you

I have absolutely no clue what that is but it looks incredibly painful and he may not recover from it. I hope someone else knows what it is, but you may need to euthanize him. I am so sorry.

I think the 20 gallon tall should be fine too, as long as you provide enough resting places. Maybe put the betta with the smallest finnage or just the strongest betta in the tall tank

That colouration is indeed called steel blue

He sounds absolutely lovely, I hope you'll have a long good time with him

Honestly the weird connection piece on his face looks okay, it looks like it's either from a previous injury or he was just both with it. The gill thing is probably from previous ammonia burns, since that affects the gills the most. By the way, he is absolutely beautiful!!

Oh he's so cute!!!

Your betta is indeed a veiltail I have 2 bettas, one male and one female, and they both became parents yesterday!! My male betta is being an awesome dad. This is my male betta, his name is Bruce. He's a dork He's a very angry little dude, always flaring at everything, including my face and his...

Yes of course, I took her out as soon as they were done mating. And trust me she wasn't eating them. I saw her put the eggs in there, I saw them coming out of her mouth and into the bubbles. After that she left the nest alone. Looks like my female is a good one My male is also doing an amazing...

Ignore that last post because I have EGGS!!! And both fish are gathering the eggs and putting them in the nest. Looks like I don't have any egg eaters! Thank you to everyone that helped me!!!

Hey I actually have another question; even though there is no eggs yet my male doesn't even go looking for any, while my female does. Is that normal? Because after every embrace my female goes looking for eggs once she can and my male just immediately tries to get her to embrace again instead of...

So they've been trying for about 45 minutes and no eggs so far, but that is to be expected with both new parents. Except when they embrace, my male also goes limp when my female does, he's so dramatic lol

So... I did fall asleep before seeing your messages... It was 2 am lol Anyways, it seems they are doing the same as yesterday but now when my male is with my female her head is down and her fins are clamped, but she still turns away from him and flares sometimes. My male has gotten more...

To me, especially on the 2nd picture, it looks like he has a really bad case of fin rot. It even looks like he's bleeding. If I were you I'd treat him for that but that's all I can tell you, I really hope he makes it
