I think most people would suggest that you get a heater as betta are tropical fish....they generally like it around 76 degrees and temp fluctuations can stress them out.

My betta Swayze has a scary habit of lying on the ground and sleeping like that, instead of in the hammock I made him about an inch from the surface. He just started doing this a couple days ago too! When it's night he just kinda floats to the bottom and rests there

Okay, thank you very much!

Hi all, I'm someone who has always done hob or sponge filters. What is the best filter media to use with it? It's a zoo med 501 turtle canister filter, and I was just curious as to what filter media works best for people.

My new one, as yet unnamed :) I'm thinking of naming him after hades' dog Cerberus singe the etymology breaks down to 'spotted' which is hilarious.

There should be an indication on the heater itself. It depends on the brand and type usually

I could, but I don't know how much shipping will be. I do live in Oregon.

Eeeh.....$30. But you have to pick it up.

I think I could get it into a small flat rate box, so about 5-6 dollars.

Yes it is, 11 not including shipping.

$10 plus shipping, or just pick it up if you're in the area. I'll look up shipping if you're interested.

I'm willing to parcel out and ship extras, but whole get-up is local pick-up only. 5 gallon glass tank with hood Topfin 10 hob filter Petco 50 watt submersible heater 1 filter cartridge with carbon (carbon easily removable) Enough black sand for roughly an inch of coverage Asking $60 obo for...

He looks so grumpy, it's adorable....

I do have tropical fish, bettas and tetras and a couple corydoras, and gardneri killies in another, but I'm just worried about if it gets too much hotter......I think I'll try the ice packs, I know we have a bunch lying around for when we go camping. We're getting a major heat wave for us...

Hi, I'm in Portland in the middle of a heat wave (90+ in the afternoon) and I noticed my tanks have been getting up to 85 and higher during the afternoon when it's hottest. If I made a dechlorinated water ice cube, would that help or cool down too fast? I don't have a/c in my house, so I'm...

It was a pain in the butt to get the one of him flaring, because he's camera shy so he'll flare behind the filter..........I thought he was a regular delta tail, but I was wondering if maybe he wasn't? He kinda looks a bit rose-taily to me, I've had him for a month or so now and his tail seems...

No just a half moon :) he is my piggy boy! And I adore rocks and driftwood. I actually went a little overboard and didn't use most of the pieces I bought for this tank haha. I have a little 5 gal killifish tank that the overflow went into.

The same thing happened when I bought a white betta and gave him a better home, so I would assume for the better. Except mine has kinda salmon pink splotches :)

I don't believe he is a dragonscale, they look pretty normal to me.....but I'm still pretty new to bettas so here's his bluer end. I still can't get a good one of his eyes, though he does kinda look like that one. Except I don't think I've ever seen them not frowning down.

I'm not really sure what's up, it jut seems like there's something covering parts of his eyes at the top, and I noticed that his top fin rales nicely at first, then started tearing a bit again. I'm figuring there's nothing I can do to "cure" it, an he eats fine, I'm just wondering what it is and...

Unnamed as of yet. He glows with the slightest light, it's gorgeous.

My beautiful boy mushu went to betta heaven last night :( I'm glad it was sooner rather than later, he had only been sick for a couple days before passing. As much as I hoped it wasn't as bad as I thought.......

I hope so too but it's not looking good.......and I have no idea how he got it......

I'm very sad to say that while shabby is doing better than ever since his petco rescue, my little boy mushu has dropsy :C he was so hyper I never got a much better picture than this one, but he's changed so much..... I'm moving him to a hospital tank, but from what I've read I don't have much...
