Curious question (not a health concern question). I'm a first time betta owner. Is it normal for their color and pattern to change?? I got George Jan 31st and he was quite healthy from what I could see. Mostly white fins with blue/turqouise body. He is now almost completely blue with hues of...

Hey! I'm still in pre-planning stages for my 35gal and I REALLY want to try sand (or similar) substrate. I've always had gravel before but I like the natural look of sand. This will also be my first try with live plants (starting minimal, all live plants will be "tied" to drift wood.) but I...

My poor guy has been acting off for two weeks now. I'm still new to the fish hobby, and I've tried everything I've researched... Sorry for how long this ended up... I've had him about 6 months (the same amount of time the tank has been set up not counting the initial cycling) and he is about...
