I usually cover the cage just to make it nice and quiet, I’m up until the early hours so I like to cover her to avoid lights shining into the cage. I used to cover her to avoid frights at night from the shadows outside the window but after moving rooms I kinda just kept the habit. I have used a...

Does anyone know if new fans contain any harmful materials? More specifically, a lasko tower fan. I would like to run the fan while the bird is covered as it gets really warm at night here, but I don’t want to risk anything. I had read somewhere that fans could have internal features coated in...

Ok here goes: 1. I am very into the cottagecore aesthetic 2. Orcas and parrots 3. Lemon chicken or Hungarian chicken paprikash 4. Light/dusty pink 5. Somewhere exclusively tropical 6. I have yet to find a s/o lol @JuiceBox52 I also love mantises! Orchids are my favorite!

Wow that betta is beautiful! At my lfs it would cost around $50! I’ve yet to own a koi because of the price lol And that betta from eBay is absolutely gorgeous!

I would look there first, they are likely to have them. If you can’t find them, you can try ordering them online, they may come in packs of more than one. Before you use them, however, please be aware that they may stain your water or fake decorations! If you are ok with this then I would look...

I’ve heard somewhere that both betta fix and melafix are not that great for bettas but I’m unsure how true that is. On the other hand, I’ve heard great things of almond leaves, you could always try those.

Bettas are wonderful fish, I think everyone deserves a chance to keep at least one!

Here’s mine: 1. Bettas (I have 13, my favorite fish) 2. Goldfish (at one point I had 3 lion heads and 2 telescopes) 3. Guppies (brings back childhood memories) 4. Platy (beautiful little fish) 5. Neon Tetras (fascinating schooling behavior)

If the fish seems to be suffering or his quality of life is decreased, it may be best to euthanize him. Think of it as freeing then from suffering.

Are there any tank mates? Have there been any recent water changes where the temp may have been too far off or the water was not dechlorinated? Have you checked to see if your water levels are off? some bettas simply do not live long and may have other health issues. My oldest betta Aztec of...

Wow he’s so beautiful! I only have 4 males but I have 10 female bettas, nine’s a good number!

That purple is impressive and the fins are just perfect! Beautiful betta!

Omg they’re all so beautiful! That pineapple color is just amazing! My LFS gets a lot of koi bettas, usually female, and they are incredibly expensive ($30+). Yours is just absolutely stunning!

Hi! I’ve had my oldest betta Aztec for about 4 years (I’m assuming he was around a year when purchased) and I was wondering: How old are your oldest bettas?

Hi there! I currently have a 20 gallon tank that houses a sorority of 9 bettas. In my opinion, odd numbers are best because in some cases, you will find that two of the girls with fight for complete dominance and it could lead to the death of the other, throwing off the heirarchy. I would...

Actually, Moscato is a cool name too!

Me neither!

Yep, this is the original photo taken with the tank light on :) the Maude sounds cool also!

Hi! Bought a new betta today in a very pretty pink color! Need some name suggestions if anyone feels like naming this flamingo of a fish :)

I was able to get him for about 5$ because he was with the other crowntails they were selling, but the other silvery bettas I’ve seen you have to order online for a much higher price

Interesting, can I ask which country you live in?

Hi Earlier this week I bought a beautiful male crowntail betta with colors I’ve never seen in stores before. I call him Goose. From what I can tell, he’s a metallic but I’d like some more opinions :) Let me know what you think, thanks!

I think the name Dally is cute, or Lapis!

Hi I saw just yesterday that one of my bettas has dropsy and is severely bloated, his gills stick out and he lays at the bottom of the tank. He does not come out to eat and is uninterested in stuff going on outside his tank in the room, which is not like him. I do not have enough money, Time, or...

Hi! I already have a 10 gallon tank split in half that houses two bettas, a snail on each side, and a small platy on each side as well (though I don’t know how long they will be staying in that tank). I recently saw a betta I was interested in purchasing but I’m wondering if dividing the 10...

It isn’t a long, it’s a tall until I can switch to a standard or long.

Hi! Currently, I have 7 lovely bettas in my 20 gallon fem betta sorority. I’m looking to add a nerite snail, but not that’s not an immediate concern. Since I’m pretty much addicted to bettas at this point, would it be bad if I added two more for a total of 9 bettas in a 20 gallon? There hasn’t...

Today I went out and bought a new female betta and the more I look at her the more I’m confused by her colors, she is like dark brown with chocolate and blue under tones with blue streaks in her tail, and a white face. I wouldn’t call her a chocolate betta but she’s not black in color either...

Actually, I do have the water heated up to the low 80s at the moment, so I’ll just leave it for a week or two then?

I’m planning on moving some of my goodies and turning the 20g into a betta tank. One of the goldfish had ick and was being treated but died either from ick or something stemming from that. Once the goldies are out, should I keep treating the tank for ick, and if so, how long? Thanks!

He’s a very pretty boy, I hope you find him!

Welp, I guess I’ll be needing some new decorations lol. If your interested, here was the plan: I wanted to have the flower part above the waters surface and have the stems in the gravel, so it would kinda look like the fish was swimming under the flowers instead of in them. I suppose I can do...
