Hi, sorry just seen this, had a problem with my phone so notifications weren’t coming through. She’s okay now and I guess it was probably due to stress. She didn’t swallow him just nipped his fins i think. Thank you for the help

Thank you for everyone that has been helping and sharing information. Just to clarify, I’m not trying to argue that Bettas are community fish and I won’t be putting more fish with Bettas. I received misinformation from my LFS and didn’t do as much research as I should’ve. I have returned my...

Thank you so much, will definitely try this in the future

Thank you everyone for the responses, I have been feeding my betta micro pellets, shelled and cut up peas but will definitely stop with the bloodworms if that also has a risk of carrying disease. If brine shrimp newly hatched at home work then I might try that. As for females being aggressive to...

Hi so the betta seemed okay in the shop, we got her a couple months ago. She wasn’t moving slowly, maybe a little pale though, but she got more colourful after having her a couple weeks. She was kept in a relatively small tank (less than five gallons) with 4 other females. Tank water seemed...

Hi sorry only just seen this, it was a bit difficult to take a picture so I hope this is okay. She seems to be doing a little better, but I will an eye on her later, it’s 5 am so I’m not sure. If it’s not a good photo I could provide another one later if that’s okay. I know the water level looks...

I think she might have a small injury on her side? I’m not sure though, will definitely return the cardinals. I’m so sorry I didn’t do enough research on them, I haven’t had fish too long so I took the fish shops word for it. Thank you so much for the reply.

Hi everyone, Sorry to bother you. My female Betta just killed my cardinal tetra and now she’s ill. I introduced 4 cardinal tetras into her 10 gallon tank thinking it would be okay, my LFS said it would be fine, but within an hour or so of putting them in the tank she attacked one of them. She's...

Thank you so much:)

Heyy, I know it’s been a little while. The betta fry are doing well and have begun to grow their dorsal fins. I’m going away for a couple days, I have someone feeding them, but I was wondering if they would be okay without cleaning out the tank for the 2 days I’m gone. I will make sure to change...

I think this might be the last update but he is a proud daddy now.

Thanks to everyone who’s helped! Male has finally started building bubble nest

The female has never shown any interest in my males, not exactly sure how old she is, but I’ve had her for a few months. The male was building nests when I got him and I’ve had him for a while now. Your suggestion about the males sounds like something good to try so I’ll definitely do that. We...

Thank you so much! I will continue to try this method and hopefully they’ll breed at some point. From the first try the female does have a bit of a rip in her fin and is quite scared. At this point she had been in the jar for a few days as he wasn’t building a bubble nest and she wasn’t showing...

Thank you so much for replying I will definitely try this

Hi, I’m currently attempting to breed Bettas. I have bred them before and have 4 8 week old fry. However, I think the male I was successful in breeding before is too old to breed now, we aren’t sure of his age. And the female he originally bred with died of dropsy (we think). So we bought a new...

Heyy, sorry to bother you, please note I’m not a fish expert by any means. To me, at least, it looks a little like fin rot. If so, then it’s quite common and treatable. When it’s happened to my betta, I used melafix for several days before doing a 25% water change. Most fish shops have it, if...
