I got my beta in the beginning of the year and he has huge fins. A few months went by and as he got bigger I noticed huge chunks gone from his fins overnight. Eventually I realized he was biting his fins. Since then it hasn’t gotten better. He’s in a five gallon cycled tank and Although he is...

The only thing I can think of is that he is bored. He just got moved into this tank a few weeks ago and he got new huts and I rearranged everything as well. He is really aggressive though. I think I will think of a more interesting tank lay out for him and introduce more plants. Thank you!

About a month ago I woke up to huge chunks missing out of my beta’s fins. He has no sharp objects or anything he could potentially harm himself on. He has two coconut houses, a moss ball, a sponge filter and a heater. Initially I thought he tore them on the back of the filter so I did daily...

I’ve had my beta for a little over four months now and I’m really concerned for his health. He is in a cycled 5 gallons tank with almond leaves a moss ball a heater a sponge filter two huts and gravel. About two months ago he started to get lazy and spend lots of time resting and hiding. He...

I have a 5 gallon. Thank you so much for replying. I’ll continue water changes.

Thank you for telling me! I actually ordered some coconut huts just now.

Any tips for treating fin rot? It’s been progressing really slowly but I’ve had Indian almond leaves in my five gallon tank for almost two weeks now. I do 50% water changes once a week although I might start to do them more frequently. He has had fin rot for a while now and I’m not sure the...

Thank you for your response! They were more billowy and the fins had smoother edges. How should I combat fine rot? I’ve heard of Indian Almond Leaves. I just boiled one and put it in my tank. Is that a good start?

I’ve had my beta for about 6 months now and his activity levels have declined significantly in the past two months. I got him when he was tiny and he grew rapidly and had long flowy fins. Now it looks like he shrunk in size but that’s rlly because his fins aren’t in good condition. Not sure why...

Good to know. Thank you so much. They look a lot better all ready after the water change. I’ll fast them. Also my pH is 7.6 is that alright? Normally it’s a bit lower.

I went away for two nights and had a family members watch my two bettas. One is in a temporary 2.5 gallon and the other is on a 5.5 gallon. I just came home at around 11pm amd the water on both tanks were very cloudy and there were pallets floating every where. My fish in the 2.5 gallon was...

I was about set up my 5.5 gallon tank for my beta as I just got my sponge filter in today. How ever as I was playing back a video on the filter I noticed a smaller tube coming out of the filter and out through the top of the tank. I don’t have that as it didn’t come with the Aquaneon sponge...

I will look into the one you mentioned. thank you! Also, where could I just buy a plain tank with no kit? I already have a heater and then I could buy the sponge filter to get it set up and ready to cycle.

what sponge filter would you recommend? yes, I know now. both my tanks are cycled but they were meant to be temp. set ups. Also, I keep finding bare tanks with no lid on them and the ones I found are 10 gallon. Is there a specific website where I'd be able to get a 3 gallon?

I have two delta tail mail bettas that I bought recently. I wanna get them each a 3 gallon tank cause that's honestly the biggest size have room for right now. I have been looking into the TopFin Indulge tank and was wondering if it is worth it or if there are other better options. I really...

I wasn’t aware that you could trim beta fins. However, I don’t think I will ever do that. I’m still really new to this. I’ll look into buying more plants. I bought him from Petco so I’m not sure of his age or his background but I’ll do that best I can. He seems healthy overall. Thank you so much...

I want to add some real plants in but I don’t want to overcrowd his tank. But I will be replacing my silk plants with real ones soon. If this isn’t the issue what else could I do to help? This is been happening for a month now and his fins grew drastically but haven’t grown much after February...

Yes his fins have grown long since I’ve had him. He has a house a moss ball and a silk plant. I tried a leaf hammock but neither of betas used it.

I posted about a week ago that my betta has started to become less active. After some responses, the conclusion was that my water parameters needed to be monitored and that I should make sure my tanks are cycled. I have done all of those things and everything from the water temp to the water...

Thank you so much! Thank you so much Ohhh Ohhh I see. I was following along with a YouTube video and he used both. Thank you for clarifying.
