Who Gives A Fish Forums

I'm still figuring out the optimal formula, as it seems to be a trial-and-error process - and I did experience some setbacks this year. However, my current setup appears to be working well for now. I use dechlorinated tap water and aragonite as a substrate, maintaining a salinity of 30 g/L, although ...

I haven't updated my betta's photos in months, but he's doing alright.

I've been feeding my Betta splendens live adult brine shrimp every weekend, which I've been successfully culturing since March. Occasionally, I substitute them with tiny black soldier fly larvae from my compost cultures ...

I feed my betta with Poytara Betta four times a week. I also do one-day fasting and on weekends, I treat him to live brine shrimp or tiny BSFL from my cultures. Before feeding the shrimp, I prep them with dried yeast or Spirulina powder for bioencapsulation.

Indeed, I'm glad to see this improvement. Yesterday was a bit of a challenge since I was away on a trip and couldn't feed him, but today he even ate the usual Betta food. What could have caused this sudden change for the better?

From late yesterday to this morning, I observed my Betta reacting to his reflection in the background glass, which caused him to flare his gills and spread his fins, similar to previous instances.

During this process, he became more active and interacted with me. However, after a short while, he resumed his ...

I will do this. I also realized the water is slightly cloudy, which might be contributing to the problem, so I will make sure to address this issue as well.

I will try to answer the questions you asked, coltin.

You asked if he stopped eating a couple of days ago and spends most of his time sitting there doing nothing. Yes, that's correct. He only swam when I was doing sipLioning on the 19th of this month. As I mentioned earlier, he didn't want to eat ...

Hello everyone,

I've had my current Betta since May 14th, 2023, and I must say, I've never seen him like this before. This reminds me of a constipation issue I had with a Trichogaster lalius back in 2014.

Here's my setup:

• Aquarium size: 17.74" length x 11.81" height x 9.84" width, about 7.92 ...
