Im very worried about my betta. He has developed a huge split down his entire fin. He is acting very lethargic and is staying at the top of the tank. He usually sleeps in his plants but he keeps looking at me in the front of the glass. Im not sure what is wrong. I have attached two pictures of...

Will the betta eat the dither?

There is a filter and I keep the flap used to drop pellets in open in order to keep oxygen flowing into the tank. There is no air pump in the tank.

It's his reflection. Indeed, he is quite stressed I believe. The poor guy is constantly swimming around the glass and charging his reflection. I have tried so many different things. I have tried putting a black t-shirt over the tank, a white t-shirt, a book with flowers on the front by his...

I'm not sure if this is the beginning of fin rot or not. The first picture is from September 9 and the second is from today, September 17. The edges of his tale seem to be becoming increasingly thinner and clear. I am doing partial water changes about every 6 days. He is in a 3.5 gallon tank...

Does anyone have suggestions on a good 5 gallon tank for my better fish? Currently he is in a 3.5 gallon round glass tank and will not stop attacking his reflection against the glass. He has made a bubble nest (I think) and I'm not sure if this is a good thing or bad thing since I'm assuming he...

After I cleaned his tank with a gravel vacuum today and added new, dechlorinated water at the same temperature of 79°F, he has been charging the glass at all sides because he sees his reflection. I have had him for a...

Where is dial? Could you send me a picture of where the dial is to turn the current down? My fish is getting pushed around. Do I need to unplug the filter from the wall first?

Okay thank you so much! Is there a website you can refer me to which has the best option? Also, do you think it is more helpful for the fish to have the lights in his tank on or off to lessen him seeing his reflection? I have my window blinds open so there is great lighting in my room that...

Yes. That is what I figured. Do you know of anything I can do to lessen its effect? I would like to wait a while before purchasing another tank.

My Betta fish is constantly able to see his reflection. I do not keep the lights on in his tank very often as I think that tends to stress him out more. I have tried putting books behind the tank and on the sides but he is still able to see his reflection. I have a round 3.5 gallon tank that...
