Thank you, I was hoping it was that and not something that could kill him. He is otherwise very perky and alert and healthy looking, just has a small dot on his eye. 

Was looking at my tank today and noticed my betta has a small white spot on his eye. I haven't introduced any new fish, 29gal tanks heated, cycled, and maintained. His eye isn't swollen. No changes in behavior, still fiesty and active. I can snap a picture if that will help (If i can, hes a fast...

I don't have a pond. I have a 29gal tank. I can't even get rid of the fish because I'm in a weird joint custody with my stepbrother and he wants to keep it,

Green.

So I ended up with a fantail goldfish in a ten gallon(dumb stepbrother), and after being unable to obtain a bigger tank with the money I have, I have decided to do some switching. My tank that I've had is a 29gal tank, it has a betta, 9 neon tetras, and 5 corys. I'm considering switching the...

Yea, His fins were pretty torn up when I first got him, and they haven't grown back fully. My tank plants are finally growing really steadily now   I'm pretty pleased with my setup. I had my first betta in a 1.5gal Bowl for a year before I got him in the 29gal. He was in there for nearly 2years...

I do actually! My little guys in a 29gal atm with some neon tetras and corys. Heres a semi decent pic of him. He is a hard one to photograph. dont mind that odd glare lol. 

Betta's are picky with their tank mates, and you'll need more room for more fish with him. Is the 2.5 heated? ^_^

My filter is clear, most of it anyways. Usually when it starts to look a bit grimey and the flow is slowin a bit, I clean it. Take it apart and swab it with qtips. ^_^ Then it bumps back up to how it was when I first got it.

Oh my gosh... He is beautiful. That colouring is AMAZING! I love crowntails, though my betta buddy atm is veiltail. Whatya keepin him in? ^_^

It isn't raised or... anything. I thought maybe a scrape but its more of a random spot of very light coloured scales.

Bump up the temp to about 26-27c if you haven't already. http://nippyfish.net/sick-betta/fin-rot-and-fin-loss/ ^A fairly informative page. Are any of the stress-inducing causes relevant? I'm not sure if a 100% water change is really necessary that much. I hardly ever do a 75% water change all...

I went to say hi to my little buddy lastnight and noticed a strange, rather large, clear... thing. It looks like a giant scale. Also, this light discoloured patch on his head is very new. He had just eaten there so his belly is a bit pudgy. Is this something to be worried about? no ammonia, no...

Yay! Glad everythiing went fine. ^_^

Welcome! Hope you enjoy it here ^_^

Alright, ideally.. I do NOT want babie piggies. My mother would kill me and I just don't have enough friends that want them. Do shelters spay guinea pig females like they do cats and dogs?

Welcome to the foruum ^_^ Hope you enjoy it here!

I've had my guinea pig shane for a year or so now. He was given to me by my uncle, who received him from a lady that was trying to return him to a petshop. I know guinea pigs are herd animals, and rather social (Or so I have read) and are better kept in pairs, or trios... but I was wondering...

Welcome to the forums! Hope you enjoy it here. ^_^

^_^ Welcome! Hope you enjoy it here!

I noticed the other day my water was rather cloudy so I decided to do a small water change and see how that works. I was dumping tank water down the sink, which is a white sink, and noticed the water is tinted green. I am thinking this is algal bloom on account I've been trying to keep the tank...

Welcome to the forum! ^_^ Hope you like it here.

He's pretty! Very beautiful colouring. ^_^ Whatya keepin him in?

Yea, just monitor the water closely. I did water changes, and tested daily and my betta went okay through the whole thing.

Well, cycling with fish is a bit stressful on the fish, but I did it that way because I didn't know about a fishless cycle at the time. Just monitor the water and be prepared to change some of the water well.. just about daily. Do you have a tank you can but the fish back in? What was the guppy...

Welcome to the forums! ^_^ Look forward to seeing how your tank(s) comes along!

I have never heard of betta commands but, i tap the water in the corner of the tank when its time for him to eat and he swims up.

Welcome to the forum! Hope you enjoy it here ^_^ What do you have in mind as far as stock?

he's beautiful! Very lovely colouring, love the red ^_^

On a side note - If you guys are really into movies that each scene is a work of art, I HEAVILY suggest 'The Secret of Kells'. The whole thing is hand drawn and breath taking. I simply loved it. It's a bit different...

Oh golly, its beautiful! I am super jealous, your tank looks so pretty!

Hi! I'm not sure how fond you guys are of the cartoons sorts, but I LOVE animated movies. I have recently been introduced to Howl's moving castle, Spirited Away, Ponyo, and Princess mononoke, which is different than what I'm used to, but I love them all! I was wondering if there is any others...

Poor little guy =( I hope you figure it out. It's really stressful to deal with an ill fish.

Welcome to the forum! Can we see a picture of your tank? ^_^ I would love to see your setup.

I keep my betta tank heater on at all times. You don't have to, and probably shouldn't, turn it off at night.

When I got my second betta, he randomly had a spot and a few tears on his fins. They have all healed up quite nicely. Nothing a bit of clean water and TLC didn't fix.

Nevermind! it randomly fixed itself I guess... thanks everyone for the help!

Okay give me a while. I am having a hard time trying to figure out how to do this on windows 8. 

Oh thats a cute fish.. Welcome to the forum, hope you enjoy it here ^_^

It's not there =( its just blank white except the calendar.
