So sorry I haven’t been around as of late. Been super busy with life. I’ll try to not let that stop me from writing anymore. As for my betta bad news. He was acting weird and I tried giving him antibiotics. But unfortunately he passed away. I was very sad, but decided to get another betta. I will post pics soon of my new betta, Micky. He has different colorings and quite a personality. So thats the quick version, I’ll write more soon!

Plant = Fin Rot

Carley — Thu, 11 Mar 2010 17:02:18 +0000

Hello Everyone! Sorry I haven’t written for a while- I have been busy! So a while ago my sister came home from college and she brought her betta fish with her. (Blooper) She just kept him in a glass bowl with rocks and a fake plant. He was doing great, and I loved having him. But my own fish, (Dodo) was having a problem with fin rot. My aunt who also owns a betta fish suggested taking the plant out. So I did, and now they are both doing great! My sisters fish (Blooper) Still has the plant in his tank and he is not suffering from fin rot, so I really don’t know whats up. Just thought I’d let you know in case anyone is having the same problem.

This is a picture of my fish before I took the plant out:

Frozen Brine Shrimp

Hi Everybody! I have been researching what kind of food to feed my betta, and I have found that most people recommend frozen or live food. So I started trying Frozen Brine Shrimp, and the results are amazing! I also read that you should give a variety for your bettas diet, so I fast my betta once a week, give her brine shrimp most of the week, and occasionally give her flake food and a little part of a pea. It seems to work out great! Her color is a much more vibrant blue. Although it takes more time to feed your fish this way, your fish will thank you! I highly reccomend Frozen Brine Shrimp, and there are a lot in a package!

Betta Water

Carley — Wed, 30 Sep 2009 13:17:03 +0000

I have a question about what kind of water to use for my betta. For my last two bettas I used tap water, and they both died. I don’t think it was because of the tap water, but I think that might have had sometimething to do with it. So this time with my new betta, Andro, I decided to use distilled water. But I just looked online at a website, and it said to stay away from distilled water. Now I don’t know what kind of water to use! I am using betta conditioner every time I change the water. What should I do? Any suggestions?

Thanks,

New Betta!

Hi Everyone! I just wanted to let you know that I got a new betta! She is blue and her name is Andrew.(Someone else named him, not me!) Well, I call her Do Do (Not doo doo, but doe doe) Because every betta I have had, I named it with an O at the end of it’s name. So sometimes I call her Andrew, or Andro, or Do Do. It’s kind of weird, but it’s a tradition!

But Andro seems so bored all the time. I try to move her around and put her in different places a lot. I also try to put her in places where there are a lot of people moving around and such, because I heard they like to be where there is action. This might sound weird, but are there ways to like, play with your betta fish? Make them less bored and more happy? I will take any suggestions I can get!

Thanks!

UPDATE

TURNING WHITE: Thank you for all your comments on my lovely little betta turning white. He is still alive, but just a weird color now. I did some research and asking around, and discovered that bettas in the wild are not as pretty as those in captivity that are bred to be b-e-a-utiful! So I think Indy just is losing his color because of his genetics. No infection. No disease. Just genes!

I had never heard this before, and do not know if it is true. But this information comes a previous betta breeder.

Yes, he has a heater. Yes, he gets regular water changes. He is just weirdly colored now, but is still my little baby.

Hope every else is having luck! My four babies are still thriving… with a bit of fin rot. But all is well. They are piggies.

Have a good day.

A Lot of News

Well I got a few fish that go well with bettas and well they all where doing fine. Then I saw a few of the fish had ick so I put this medication that gets rid of it. Not only did it fail it ended up killing all of them with ick and the Rainbow……so well they are dead. The only fish left are two small fish. Well I believe when I GOT the fish they had ick because if I remember correctly one of them where just rubbing his body against the rocks. So I shall never buy from PetCo ever agine.
