Poor wittle fishy! About the tilting, he/she may have damaged the swim bladder temporarily. Check all fins. Maybe your fish has injued a fin and is having problems swimming. Hitting the floor may have misaligned the fishes spine slightly, causing an equilibrium inbalance (I have witnessed...

The average life-span for a Beta is 2-3 years...however I have had one as long as 8 and he is still kicking and fighting tournaments in my town. (Go ahead, inquire me about the fights. :D) Anyways, the fungus could be cause by one of two things: The cups that the Betas are transfered in cause...

:blink: The gourmis are pains in the BUTTS! I have four of them that constantly chase each other around the tank. Males will do this to each other all the time, it is a show of dominency. You can't make them stop, and most of the time the fighting is harmless. If you start noticing ripped...

To start, I have 12 Betas, 10 in seperate half-gallon hex-tanks, and two in a 10 Gallon ( 1 male and 1 female with four Gourmis.) I have an awesome Beta. His name is Big Blue and it fits! He is a champion fighter I got when I was in Germany at a fish show and he is about 8 inches long. He...

Betas like warm water. The warmer the water, the more active the Beta will tend to be. I know this from personal experience with breeding and raising 12 of them. :D Shanno
