    I also wouldn't be to worried about color change unless he starts getting pale. Bettas get pigment loss when sick or not cared for in the right way so if your betta gets darker colors that might be a good sign not a bad one. You can check out my before and after picture of my betta, he did a...

    Oh and may I ask what you are feeding him and how much and how often? If he's kinda laying around and swimming funny he could have swim blatter which my betta got from eating cheap betta pellets. (I made tons of mistakes in the beginning) Sent from my SM-N920V using Aquarium Advice mobile app

    For the reflection problem which I also had issues with it had to move my tank from being in a corner to being in the middle of a wall where the sides are not against a wall and then I put a background on the back of the tank. This helped reduce the reflection enough that my betta Benjamin...

    Advice Okay it sounds like he's just has a ripped fin that keeps reopening because of the flaring, I would check to make sure he's not seeing his reflection to much. This can happen if you use a tank light which I wouldn't use at all in a betta tank because they come from darker water and the...

    Advice If you could take some pictures of your betta we could better help you figure out what's wrong with him. Also I suggest doing a fishless cycle on your tank using this method. http://www.aquariumadvice.com/forums/f15/the-almost-complete-guide-and-faq-to-fishless-cycling-148283.html

    Welcome! Yay you for getting a 5 gallon tank for a betta, that's a perfect size! Have you done a fishless cycle on the 5 gallon tank because that really helps keep the ammonia, nitrates and nitrites levels low? I would also suggest some low light plants like java fern or Moss balls. Bettas love...

    My betta went though a huge transformation after getting proper care for the last three months. When I bought him he was so pale and just lifeless. Now he's so healthy and happy.

    Need help! Need to switch filters on cycled tank!

    Okay so I have a 5gallon betta tank that I just successfully fishless cycled. Added my betta and found out that my current filter is just not that great. It is a tetra whisper 3i in tank filter. I don't like it because it's a in tank filter and I'd rather have a hang on back filter that I can...

    Fishless cycle 5g planted betta tank- when to add fish?

    I just went ahead and added him this morning. He so so happy and swimming around all over defending his area from his reflection, he did this for two days when I put him into the other tank so I'm not worried. I'll post a picture once I get him all set up with his drift wood.

I did the fishless cycle for my 5 gallon planted tank based off of eco23 "the almost complete guide and FAQS to fishless cycling." My tank is now cycled, i did the 90% water change and my readings are now...
