Re: betta fish for beginners
Hi everyone, I've been convinced it's best to rehome my 5 Cherry Barbs from my 30 litre Biorb, as they're thriving with zero ammonia and nitrite readings. Now I'm considering a Male Betta, but I have a few concerns.
Looking at my current tank decor, I'm worried it might be too sharp for a male ...

Re: breeding betta fish
To breed betta, start by keeping the male and females in separate tanks, but place them next to each other so they can see one another. This visual introduction should last for at least a week. If the male builds a bubble nest and puts on a display for the female, it's likely a good sign, and you ...

breeding betta fish
I've been noticing that Kevin makes a gorgeous bubble nest every time I clean his tank, which got me thinking - is he ready to breed? I've got a couple of female bettas that could be paired with him, but I'm not sure where to start with the breeding process.

Re: Help with a sick female betta
I'm really stumped about my female betta's health. Water parameters are all fine, and the other fish, including another female betta, seem perfectly fine. I've had her isolated in a breeding net for a few days now to rule out any aggression issues, and there's been no damage or signs of aggression ...

Re: is something wrong with my betta?
Hi all,
My tank's fully cycled - ammonia and nitrite are 0.0, pH's between 7-8, and the temperature's stable at 26. I do a 20-25% water change every week, using Tetra AquaSafe and Tetra SafeStart.
The tank's pretty heavily planted with Anubias, Java Fern, and Java Moss, among others. I've also ...

Re: help me choose a name for my new betta
My pineapple betta's on the way and I'm stumped for names. Photo's attached, check it out. So far, I've got Sponge Bob and Loki (yeah, I know, not exactly Loki-esque, but we're huge Marvel fans here). Any name suggestions from fellow betta enthusiasts?
I'm not entirely sold on Gideon, but I ...

Re: Characteristics of the betta splendens personality
I recently brought home my first Betta, Max, and I'm curious to know about the personalities of Bettas from experienced keepers.
I've only had Max for about a month, and he's currently living in a 29-gallon tank with a snail as his tankmate. When I try to interact with him, he doesn't seem too ...
