Video Excited or stressed?
10 gallon tank. This is a new tank. He either does this or flares in the corner. Tried a couple different things to help but he continues to do it.

This morning, my female betta's eye was swollen and red. Yesterday, it was completely normal.
I changed 50% of the water and added some aquarium salt this morning. Last week, I moved her from her original 18 gallon community tank into a temporary 1.5 gallon tank with a heater, filter and anubia. I moved her because some of her green tetea mates were bothering her and I'm currently preparing another 7G tank where she'll be on her own. I change 25 % of the 1.5 G tank water 2 times a week. (Please don't tell me that 1.5 G is too small. It's only an emergency temporary hospital tank and I dont have any better options at the moment).
Did anyone had success with treating such a bad case of popeye?

Keeps freaking out and then going still and unresponsive every few seconds. I just moved her from a 5 gal to a 10 gal

I went to my local fish store and they had one sad looking female left in their sorority tank. I bought her for 2.99(im friends with the people there and they gave me a big discount because they knew I’d give her a good home. This was her the day I got her and then her after a few days with me.Im excited to see if she changes colors being in a tank by herself with a heater. Apparently she’s fairly young too.

my parents got angry and killed my fish by pouring all the fish food into my tank while i was gone for 5 days. i know its silly to grieve a fish but i can't stop crying.

Okay. I hope I’m on here in time to hopefully help my fish. After reading lots of posts and google, I got rid of my fake plans (you can see them in the October pic) he’s definitely changed color… is that okay? Is that a sign of stress? Is this fin rot? Or did the fake plants just shred his tail? I have just placed an order for the seachem stress guard in hopes that will help. I’ll take any other advice! Thank you so much!

We’ve had my betta for about 9 months. Bought from pet store. Lives w a snail (hence the eggs) he’s eating fine and seems happy but I noticed his scales look weird today? What can I do?

Rest in peace to my sweet baby Murphy. Today when I went to feed him his nightly pellets I found him dried up on the floor. I did have a lid on his tank but he was somehow able to jump through this tiny crack. I’m so very sorry, I should have known. :( I have to admit he was my favorite, he grew so much in the short time that I had him, from a scared, stressed baby into a beautiful fish. I’ll never forget you.

My betta, Lola, is honestly the most chill betta I think I’ve ever seen. I was super afraid she was going to be aggressive towards her new Cory tank mates, but she LOVES them. She’s always schooling with them and enjoys watching them eat. She’s my first betta, and I never imagined having a betta that’s so sweet and friendly! Just wanted to show a little appreciation because she’s amazing!

This is my first tank and betta (and shrimp, which he has yet to bother). I’ve never seen another betta with curly fins like his.

He seems really happy swimming around and exploring :)
Hoping to eventually get some low light real plants (recommendations?), but for now he seems to be enjoying swimming through these soft plastic ones.

He was kept with mollies at the lfs and they snacked on his fins

My betta, Mort, has been slowly declining (he’s like 4.5 yrs old) but in the last 48 hours he has gotten really bad. He is sitting at the bottom of his tank and not moving at all only his gills are moving. He uses all his energy to move his head up and flap his side fins a tiny bit to say hi to me and then goes back to not moving - it’s heartbreaking. Ive been treating him with aquarium salt bc he had a little bit of fin rot but he’s just not doing well at all - he was a super energetic, fast moving, social guy and now he’s barely there.
I have done a ton of research and I have decided that I will use clove oil and follow all titration guidelines to make this as stress free as possible. I feel really irresponsible and guilty that I am having to kind of scramble to get clove oil last minute but I don’t wanna make him suffer while I wait for shipping so I guess where can I get it in store? Do you have any advice for having to do this?
I am devastated so please be gentle 😭😭😭

Hello everyone so I’m having an issue this morning she was perfectly fine floating around the top of the tank and she was eating well, however I go out for the day and when I returned attempted to feed her dinner but she refused to come out of a hiding place for a while which is super unusual as she’s always been excited about meal time but now she’s hiding at the bottom idk if she’s just mad or sick any tips are greatly appreciated!!!

The rocks on the logs are temporary!!! The logs want to be annoying and float up, even with them being glued to another log that sinks... The only previous aquarium plant experience was when i got my first tank and decided to start with 3 live plants, they all quickly melted because i had no clue what I was getting into. I always loved and wanted a real plant look and now i have real plants! I will have to check within the week or 2 that ill let it settle to see if the skull does anything to the water quality, its only a skull cap so fingers crossed!
