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.

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...

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...

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...

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...

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)...

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...

Hi, I’ve been noticing this new white thing on my female betta; I’ve circled it in red in the attached photo. One of her ventral fins is normal but the other one has always been bent a little weird. Could she be growing an extra one? It kind of seems like the spot where a fin would be. It’s sort...

Hi! When I was moving my fish to a travel tank today I accidentally misjudged where the tank was and poured the cup she was into not into it, but onto the table. ? Within a few seconds she was back in water and seems to be fine, although I did have to give her a few nudges so she could slide...

Hello! I’ve had my betta fish for about 2 months now, she was kind of unexpected so I’ve had to learn a lot along the way. These are some of the things I still have questions on: 1) What is the least stressful way to remove my fish from her tank while cleaning (I kind of feel like it’s not the...

I’ve been noticing new white spots on my fish’s head for maybe a day or two, not sure if it’s normal coloration or a bigger issue. She is very active and behaving normally. I took a picture of her this morning, one of the said spots is above her eye.

Hi, just wondering if anyone has had any experience using NitraZorb? When I first started testing my water using the API test kit for my female betta about a month ago ammonia, nitrites, and nitrates were all high but with the use of Tetra SafeStart Plus I have managed to get the ammonia and...

Hi, I have been noticing new red spots on my female betta. Just wondering if that’s normal coloration or early stages of fin rot or something else (picture attached)? I’ve been looking at pictures of fin rot but I’m not sure if that’s what’s going on here. Thanks!
