ill betta

He hasn't eaten in over a week. He either ignores food(pellets, daphnia, bloodworms) or bites and spits(flakes). His tank is 6.5 gallons The tank is heated to 80F It is filtered. The tank is 6 months old. I checked Ammonia, Nitrate, Nitrite, and PH using API Masterkit. Checked out okay.(I...

Update- Following two very helpful and informative responses, a new and much bigger 150litre tank has been ordered so everyone will be having an upgrade to a tank over double the size of their existing tanks. The bigger the better! I have enough supplies to set up a temporary 60ltr accommodation...

I have a female Betta Splenders, she has bright colors, no issues swimming but she has a really bad growth on a side of the belly. We quarantened her in a 5L tank to check how her feces were and to make her and other fishes safe. At the beginning she had stringy poop and we (my bf and I) thought...

Hi, This is my first keeping of Bettas and I have had a female in my community tank for about 6 months. Water levels are fine Amonia/nitrites 0 pH 7. She has a white patch on her head behind one eye, and I have tried treating it with white spot/ fungus meds and a general tonic none of which...

I just got another betta a few weeks ago and noticed a white substance right in front of her lower fin, on her belly, when I got her. It’s there while she poops, her poop appears segmented but brown. She’s from PetSmart in a split 20 gallon with another female I got at the same time. they had a...

Hello! I posted a thread a few months ago regarding my Betta. I thought he had bloat initially, but the consensus seemed that it was a tumor. I noticed yesterday that it seems to be turning white. It also seems to be a bit stringy, as you can see in the second photo. I realize there isn’t...

UPDATE: Unfortunately my fish passed away shortly after posting this. I did however take some gorgeous shots of her scales. I’m absolutely in awe of the photos. They look majestic, at least I can remember her by looking at these photos. I want to share them with you. My female Betta isn’t...

Hello! I got my betta Neptune four months ago and he has been doing amazing until this past sunday (five days ago). I noticed he was tending to the corner of the tank and didn’t sleep in the leaves of my java fern like he normally does. I noticed a bulge towards his tail and that he would tend...

Hello fellow fish lovers, my betta Fancy Dan has gotten sick recently and I could use some help determining what it is. Symptoms: Slight loss of color Clamped fins Slight swelling in belly/anus Tank Params: Size: 2.5G Free Ammonia: 0.03 ppm, I think GH: 30 mg/L KH: slightly less than 40 mg/L...

My betta (half a year old) is staying at the bottom of the tank and not going up to feed. I've seen him try to swim a few times and he can, but only for a few seconds before he quickly returns back to the ground. I think he can't keep his balance? He seems to move a bit sideways when he rests...

If anyone has any ideas on what this may be it would be hugely appreciated. Please find pictures below. The red streaks were present when I purchased her, I thought it was part of her colouring as it was one streak by each gill but have now noticed a second streak on each side - again appearing...
