[emoji23] Yes I fast her once a week. She seems to have weeks where she poops a lot and weeks where she doesn’t as much...

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.

Thanks for the info!! Will be buying those products

Thank you for the suggestion! Have you used Phosbond before? If so, for how long? I’m assuming it doesn’t affect fish? What are your thoughts on Phosguard?

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...

Thank you all for your suggestions! :)

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...

I agree, no babies for her! Thanks [emoji1360]

Thanks so much for your reply! I’m glad to know there is nothing for me to worry about; I just feel bad because of all the effort she puts into making her bubble nests (yes, that’s another weird thing about her...). She definitely is the product of overly selective breeding, not only does she do...

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...

Thank you!!

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)...

Good to know, thank you!

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...

Ok, thank you for your help!

What would you recommend for treatment?

I looked it up and the pictures I’m seeing for anchor worm might look similar; I’m not sure ?. I read that it could develop from new fish or plants that carry something but I don’t have either of those. As for fin growth, she has both ventral fins but one has always been been upwards against the...

I’ve only been noticing it for a few days. How do I know for sure if that’s what it is? How would an external parasite develop in the first place? How would I treat one?

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...

They came in a container and they’ve been sitting in the same container with added aquarium water for over 24 hours. They smell a bit grassy but from what I can tell that’s normal. Some of the Amazon reviews were saying the smell was horrible but I’m thinking maybe that was because the plants...

I’m not moving but I’m a college student and I have to take my fish back and forth with me on breaks. To take her out of the tank what would you recommend (net, cup...)? That’s good to know about the moss balls, I wonder why there were people saying that they killed their fish. I read...

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...

Ok, good to know. Thank you so much!
