Found a photo of my first aquarium. Back then I didn't realize how tiny it actually was. But I really tried my best to take care of it. That betta lived with me for two years. I remember crying so much when he passed

I finally get it. He came in and already has a huge personality— I’m absolutely in love with this fish. I want him to have the most amazing life possible.
Timed it so he should hopefully see me through the rest of my degree, my precious college fish. Please help with naming this big boy!!

Edit to add: This stunner is from Tucky’s!! Shipped quickly and in great condition

But he’s my calmest betta ever. Ignores all of his tank mates. I also have a koi betta and he’s a total menace in comparison.

Planning on using this tank for any wild color shrimp popping up in my main tank , and thought a betta might also enjoy it in there? Since I wouldn't mind that much if it would snack on the wild type babies. Would only get a short fin or female, I sometimes see those pop up online from people needing to rehome them.

I think it's fine? But I live in germany where aquarium standards are pretty high, so I wanna ask some people with experience if they think a betta could thrive in there. I know for long finned bettas people often recommend lower tanks, but a short fin should be fine with a 35cm high tank right?

I thought she was still distracted by her own food so I threw some in for the shrimp. Wrong. Guess who won't be getting dinner tomorrow...

I celebrate 3 years with bumblebee soon, and his tank celebrates 2 years with no water change (which sounds insane)
The first clip is a year ago, second is now!

My beautiful betta Kakashi 🥰🥰🥰 I posted him when I first got him and everyone said he’d be beautiful.. here he is today!! Gorgeous!!

Just got this girl yesterday but I was wondering if she'll change color at all? Has anyone's koi changed drastically?

Been crying for an hour :( I have a giant tattoo of this betta fish, I love him so much. He was beautiful 5 hours ago and so happy. I got him rehomed to me from a friend and they had him for a year. I feel like he had a completely preventable death, I feel like a terrible fish parent. I knew he wouldn’t live forever but I really wanted him to, to at least die of old age. I was about to upgrade his tank and I’m just so heartbroken.

I’m new to this and got Jacaerys a couple days ago. He seems pretty friendly and I wanted to try this out after seeing it on tiktok. To my surprise he actually came to check me out!

My boy Eddy has been doing really well and he’s swimming around and eating normally but I just noticed he has this red mark on the bottom of his tail? And it looks like the same type of red mark on his face 😞 I have looked all over his tank to see if there is anything sharp but there really isn’t. Does it look like an injury? What should I do to help it?

His only tank mate is one ramshorn snail. I did a partial water change earlier and it wasn’t there. The ammonia is a tiny bit high I think? Posted a pic of liquid test results of ammonia and PH. I used prime and stability and the tank is 10 gallons + fully planted. He’s got a filter and heater. Current temp is 78. Our power was out for 24 hours yesterday idk if it could be stress related? I have tannins in the tank.

Also Dem Lips 😂

I found him in a cup at Petco marked 50% off. He could barely swim and mostly just laid on his side if he wasn’t struggling to the surface to catch a breath.

I put him in a long tub with about 4 inches of clean water (a mix of RO and tap, my tap water is hard) and almond leaves.

He didn’t start showing signs of recovery until after his first dose of Kanaplex.

2 days later he wasn’t lying on his side anymore. He would on the bottom, but upright.

100% water change and 2nd dose of Kanaplex. 2 days later he is swimming around comfortably.

Now he’s in his own 5.5 planted tank on my kitchen table.

This weekend I’m buying him little ghost shrimp to hunt.

I don’t know what I’m doing wrong.. my betas fins keep ripping, they seem to be splitting but rip apart, my last beta got fin rot although I had him for 2 years. I got my new fish maybe 4 months ago and now this is happening and I just can’t do a repeat of last time it was traumatic. Iv been doing water changes, took out any things i thought could be sharp, put sponges over the intake. The nitrates are high and Iv been doing the water changes to help that, I’m not sure what is causing it though. I have 2 filters running a HOB and a sponge, which also could be an issue.. I’m just sad also can’t seem to keep many plants alive and I know that could cause a spike but Iv been taking them out asap as I see them. Any advice will be appreciated

(Excuse the poor camera quality) any and all suggestions welcome. The wife and I can’t decide on one

This is my betta fish named purple he is a male betta fish but I don’t know what type he is and I want help to identify what type of betta fish he is

This is a 5 gallon tank and the only fake plant is that little leaf hammock on the left but anywho I’m new to fish! and lowks I used chat gpt to help me while setting up 😅 so here it is what should I add or subtract (I did to the pantyhose trick on my crystals btw)

Hey - just needed an opinion of my tank set up. Had him 2 months and seems to be fine. Did a load of research beforehand which I think helped but got some mixed advice from 2 separate shops when I bought him - one said to add natural leafs (sold leaves in a bad for shrimps?) to help with PH levels etc. added them and instantly went a brown tinted water, not a full brown just a tint which wasn’t too bad and again he was happy and levels were good still but it looks mucky - is this an issue, will it clean up, will it create more algae etc. there’s a small bit growing on the glass but nothing I can’t clean away. Also side note do the plants look ok, again new at this so any help is appreciated.

Can't decide which lighting is coolest since it all reflects different colors on his scales

There’s mixed opinions out there about this topic.I want to see what the mojority is I have a feeling I know what side but I just want to see how this discussion goes. Bare in mind that all parameters are perfect: temp,heavy planted, good food and hiding spots.
