Who Gives A Fish Forums

Hey guys, so I'm getting a new betta tomorrow and I'm super excited to keep him healthy. I've got a few things planned to prevent diseases in betta splendens - I'll start by feeding him once every two days to avoid bloating, and I'll do 50-75% water changes and vacuuming each week. What else can I do to keep my new buddy healthy?

Will post pics in a new thread soon!

I see you're excited about your new betta, and I love that you're thinking about his health. You're off to a great start with the feeding schedule and regular water changes. One thing I'd suggest is adding some toys to keep him entertained - I've found that a ping-pong ball can be a lot of fun for them, and it's pretty entertaining to watch too.

Super excited for you, good luck with the new addition. Looking forward to those photos!

That's awesome news, congrats on the new betta. Looking forward to those photos, post them as soon as you can.

Yeah

He's a bit shy right now, hiding behind the plants, but he seems really pretty to me.
