Re: Is my fish suffering from fin rot?
I appreciate the concern about the plastic plants - I've had them in there for a while, and I'm not sure if they're the culprit. As for the holes and edges on Willard's fins, I do notice some discoloration, it's more of a brownish tint around the damaged areas. His fins are definitely looking ...

are you a betta breeder?
I've finally given in to the urge to get another betta. The tank's already been purchased, but it's going to sit idle until I sort out the issue with my current betta's tank. I'm waiting on a new filter to arrive, which should hopefully resolve the slime problem we're experiencing.

Re: breeding and caring for betta fish
Do you have a plan for the fry once they're hatched. Got space for potentially 100 new fish.
You'll need to separate them, especially the males, around 6 weeks in. That's just how it works with breeding.
I'm not against breeding, but if you're gonna do it, get the good stuff. Don't just throw ...

Re: Chronic fin rot - nothing is working
Watson, my rescue betta, has been through a lot - he's got a bent spine, but it doesn't seem to bother him much. Stress from my recent move caused him to chomp off a chunk of his tail. It's been slowly growing back over the past four months, but he's had fin rot the entire time. I've tried various ...

Hey there and welcome to the forum, I'm glad you're here. To help your betta, we'll need some info from you.

How to care for java moss
I've got some java moss on the way from Zorchzon and I'm excited to get it in my tank. I'm planning to use it on my terracotta pot cave ornament to cover up the visible bits. I've attached anubias to my ornaments and driftwood with a safe super glue before, but I've never worked with java moss. To ...

Re: helping a betta with fin rot
I just rescued a betta from Walmart - I know, I know, it's a gamble, but I couldn't resist. This little guy was stuck on a back shelf, his vibrant blue water had turned clear, and he was literally starving. To make matters worse, he's got a nasty case of fin rot. I've had my fair share of happy ...
