    Chubby Betta?

    [emoji23] Yes I fast her once a week. She seems to have weeks where she poops a lot and weeks where she doesn’t as much...

    Chubby Betta?

    Hi, I’m not sure if my betta is starting to look a little overweight, or if she’s at a healthy weight. When I look at her from the top view the middle of her body definitely looks more filled out but I’m not sure if that’s normal.

    Dust and diatoms

    Thank you for the suggestion! Have you used Phosbond before? If so, for how long? I’m assuming it doesn’t affect fish? What are your thoughts on Phosguard?

    Dust and diatoms

    Hi everyone! I have two questions: 1. I’ve been noticing what looks like a small layer of dust/film/small particles on the surface of my tank, even after water changes and with a filter creating surface agitation. Any ideas as to what could cause this? Any suggestions to get rid of it or...

    Nitrates...

    Hi! I’ve had my aquarium for about eight months now so I’m assuming it’s been established and cycled. In the beginning I used to use the API test kit more frequently but as time went on and the levels stayed stable I started doing it every month or two. Yesterday I did a water change and today I...

    Eggs 3 weeks in a row!

    Thanks so much for your reply! I’m glad to know there is nothing for me to worry about; I just feel bad because of all the effort she puts into making her bubble nests (yes, that’s another weird thing about her...). She definitely is the product of overly selective breeding, not only does she do...

    Eggs 3 weeks in a row!

    For a few months now my female betta has been releasing eggs once a month without the presence of a male, which I have come to understand is not as common as simply reabsorbing the eggs produced without releasing them, although it can and does happen. However, for the past 3 weeks, she has been...

    Female betta blows a ton of bubbles in the days leading up to releasing eggs!

    Hi! As the title says I’m just wondering why my female betta blows so many bubbles in the days before she releases her eggs. There are a ton sitting on the surface of the water! Every time I try to look it up the only thing I can find is stuff about males making bubble nests which wouldn’t apply...

    Tank recommendations?

    Hi! I am looking to move my female betta to a new tank. The current tank I have her in is not that good since it has a design flaw where the cords from the filter and heater prevent the lid from closing/snapping on properly (https://www.amazon.com/Aqueon-MiniBow-LED-Gallon-Black/dp/B00INCRREE)...

    Female betta laying eggs without male

    Today I observed my female betta releasing (and eating) eggs. As far as I know this is not very common, especially since she has never been in contact with a male. This is the second time this has happened (first time was May 2). Is this something I should be concerned about? Any ideas as to why...
