Re: care for baby betta fish: what's next?


Male and female bettas - given the context, I'll assume betta splendens - should be separated immediately. Housing them together can be disastrous, especially during spawning. Males tend to be quite aggressive and may harm or even kill the females. I strongly advise moving the male to a separate ...

Re: care for baby betta fish: what's next?

If your local petshops don't buy fish, that'd be a real shock to me. But, if you're having trouble finding a buyer, you could try taking some to your local aquarium society. They usually have a raffle or something where you can donate fish, plants, etc. and people can win them.

If that's not your ...

Is my fish sick and needs urgent care?

I've got two fin-tank males, one in my room and the other in my office. The office one I've had for about 6 months now. He came from a family that couldn't take care of him anymore, so I took him in to give him a better life. His tank was a mess, dirty water and all, so I cleaned him up, got him a 5 ...
