I'm at my wit's end with my beautiful Betta - he's going downhill fast despite my best efforts. The white swelling just won't budge.

Tank specs: 30ltr Biorb (around 8 US gallons), one betta, two tetras, plastic ornaments, and standard Biorb filtration.

Initially, Paisa had a small white patch ...

I've been doing some reading on Betta fish as I've been trying to troubleshoot the issue with my own and I came across something that might be relevant. Apparently, if the heat in the tank is too high, it can cause burn marks on the fish's body. I'm not sure if this is what's happening with my Betta ...

I'm no expert on females, having only kept males in the past, so bear with me on this one - I'm having trouble figuring out if my female betta is bloated or egg-bound. There's a male in a separate tank about 10 feet away, I'm unsure if he's close enough to even trigger her condition from that ...

Hi @quillmaster, I've got a separate male and female betta, and in my opinion, your female is bloated. The treatment is pretty much the same as for males - you can try giving her some peas.

I got this betta from my usual shop yesterday. He was active and seemed healthy in the shop - responded to my finger in the water and all. But after bringing him home and putting him in my 70L tank, well planted with lots of hiding spots, he just stayed in the top corner behind the filter at the ...
