Guys.. so I've been doing light water changes and less vacuuming and the baby fish is maybe 2/3 the size of the adults now but the tank was getting pretty gross. Today I finally did an extensive clean taking most things out and lightly rubbing in tank waste water. I decided to take out my log so...

Omg overnight he had a growth spurt and is no longer hiding! Is it ok his stomach looks extra big? He's joined the adults though not as jumpy as they are. He also sits right in front of our lazy Betta and has confirmed our Betta is indeed a lazy Betta. I had their food skip day yesterday and...

His underside is becoming silver! Also he seems to be eating either the biofilm or some worms I can't see under the driftwood. Maye that's how he's been surviving. He pecks at the underside of it.

Ok thank you!!! He's so good at hiding I'm amazed everyday. He doesn't just hide in one place too.. he roams the tank but stealthily!!

So baby still alive but tomorrow is my water change day. Should I avoid vacuuming for now? Just scoop water and replace? I hate seeing all my snails poop everywhere lol. I just want to suck it all up but I'm afraid baby will accidentally get sucked up.

Just to update.. still alive and his stripe is getting longer! Becoming more blue.

The stars aligned for this little guy XD

Ok he hides really well. I was trying to think of how to make the breeder hanging tanks similar by sticking a bunch of plants in it lol.. but I think he's probably eating the worries near the sand/wood as he hangs out on the bottom.. Ph 6.5-6.7, 0 ammonia, 0 nitrite, 5-10 nitrates. Cycled tank...

I was so afraid I accidentally got him killed getting him out of his hiding spot and him dashing to the other side of the tank yesterday. I couldn't find him after that. But this morning I was reattaching the Betta hammocks I accidentally knocked down yesterday and moved the wood a tiny bit and...

Ok that makes sense.. I went out of town back on Aug 4-9.. so lights were off. I did a large water change on the 4th before leaving and didn't change it again until the 13th. Guess it happened then lol. It's a bit bigger than 5mm I think now that I'm comparing it with the jewel rock thing...

Hi, I posted elsewhere too but can't figure out what to do. After I finished doing a water change and extensive vacuuming and moved all the sand around, I decided to mag cleaner the glass. I accidentally bumped my driftwood with the scraper and out jumps a baby neon! I was so surprised. It's...

Thank you! What do you do when you go out of town for a week or more? For the lone betta I've read that it's better to not feed them than to get a friend to come feed.. But if you have a community tank would the bettas start attacking each other or the other fish because they're hungry?

Did I make my post too long? I wanted to give the whole backstory lol.

I went down a rabbit hole and read this entire thread. That's so amazing! I can only imagine what your house looks like with a bunch of little tanks! I started imagining getting a few from you and looked up larger tanks and then down the rabbit hole of sororities and tank mates! Maybe I'll be...

Hi all! My daughter got a betta back in October 2019 when we visited Petsmart to get supplies for a baby chipmunk we found in our garage. Her class had a Betta that one teacher has had for years and the petsmart lady suggested one as she has one herself. She seemed very enthusiastic and...
