i think i just got overly paranoid. he is happily roaming once again.

about the betta resting on the overflow - my last betta used to do this as well and he was a bit of a lazy fellow , when i first saw him doing it i was very worried thinking the current was too...

the new pic seems to be broken but its still beautiful even in the cup picture

yesterday i was cleaning my tank, and my biggest trapdoor snail was above the water line after i siphoned. so i needed to move him back down. i gave him a little tug but he would not budge, so i...

i am sad to inform you all that my betta has died today. i don't know if i did everything i could for him, which hurts me the most. but i did the best i could and i hope that he lived a good life and...

catching it on film would be tough. it's very rare that a snail would be floating. it's probably nothing. as far as him sleeping during the day, it's a little bizarre. he is active in the afternoon...

oh i must have worded that incorrectly. the fish is not afraid of me, and he comes up to the water every time i come to him to feed him. i've never fed with my hand before but it sounds like fun. and...

i looked this up but didn't find anything very conclusive. i wanted some other opinions.

i have a 2 year old male telescope eye goldfish. he lives alone with some snails in a 30 gal. he eats well,...

you should always have a cover over your tank. dwarf frogs like to dart up to the surface rapidly sometimes they get very hyper so yes it is not good to keep it open.

in my experience with dwarf...

that's a bit comforting although i have had this betta for 2 years and this is a relatively new thing. he does LOVE to eat , but i have always tried to keep him on a steady and balanced diet. but...

how often are you feeding and how much

i don't think it is parasites because i have been feeding him dry food for some time now. i will continue the pea diet for now then.

i think it's gotten bigger. i don't know what to do.

um, is it normal for a fish to be constipated for over a week? it still won't go away. i tried to feed him some small bits of a de-shelled pea to help , but it didn't work.

no, his scales are not raised. i was just concerned because of the size of it. a few weeks ago this happened, and i believe it was constipation due to a diet of almost exclusively bloodworms. so i...

sorry for the horrible picture.

this swelling started a few days ago out of nowhere...

ok, i have fed him some small pieces of a de-shelled pea. he took a liking to them and i watched him eat them. i also bought some new pellet food for bettas that i will wait a few days to feed to him.

he lives in a filtered 2 gallon tank, alone. the water is treated on every change.


i do have pellets for him, however, when i first got him it tried to feed him these pellets. he couldn't fit...

a few days ago my betta was stuck at the top of the tank, swimming sideways. i did a water change, added aquarium salt. within the next 24 hours he was back to normal.

now, 3 days later, he is...

i'm ver ysorry for your loss. :( rip

these things always seem to happen so suddenly. im sure it was not your fault.

well yesterday i did the hydrogen peroxide thing. it was a lengthy process but i think it is gone. crossing fingers.. thanks for the advice everyone.

i would but unfortunately i have nowhere else to put them

they are real plants

thank you all for your advice.

yes , i did check the water , everything was normal. the temperature of the water i thought was fine, i have done it many many times, but one of the fish died and...

i have had better luck with otos. a few of mine have lived for years and are still going strong. they seem to eat a lot but not enough in my opinion :P
