Hi there, There are a couple things that you can try to help encourage your betta to eat. I would suggest first trying to get him to eat some frozen daphnia. It's available at most local fish/pet stores and I have found that my bettas go nuts over it. If that doesn't work, you can try soaking...

That does look like a swollen stomach. I would suggest feeding him some frozen daphnia. It's available at most LFS. In my experience, frozen daphnia is great for a laxative when I have a bloated betta. I wish you and your beautiful betta boy well. :)

Okay, thanks! I thought that's what it was, but wanted to double check. Thanks again!

Hello, I could use some help identifying this plant please. I can't for the life of me remember what it is and I am pretty sure it is wrong on my plant log. It's the one with the narrow leaves and long stems. Thanks!

Yeah! And yes, he does have a very striking red tail, more like a crimson color. I love the color red on yours though, it looks as though his colors change with the lighting. :D And thank you! I love finding such unique looking bettas at the chain stores. :)

I know. :( I know exactly how it feels.

Sorry to hear that, kfoster. :( He was a beautiful fish who had a loving home.

@dkmuller- If you are going to inform them that a betta in a vase is not okay, I would suggest pointing them to resources. As the post above me said, it would be best to bring printed information. I also suggest pointing them to bettafish.com, as it is an excellent resource. Many betta owners...

Anyone, please?

Hey all, I already posted about this problem on a different forum but have yet to receive any replies. I had previously posted a couple of weeks ago on the other forum about his stress stripes. They went away but have now returned, though not nearly as dark. I was wondering if anyone here...

Hi there, I just wanted to add my two cents about moonlight LED's. I fitted my ten gallon planted aquarium with an EcoPico blue light strip and I love it! My plants are thriving (though I have no idea if there is any correlation between the light or if the plants just like the tank) and my fish...
