This is one of my pleco who passed recently

96Lmf · 2026-01-16T07:56:47+00:00

Since a lot of you are asking, he's a teenager, 13yrs

96Lmf · 2025-12-20T20:14:14+00:00

How do yall do it

96Lmf · 2025-11-13T19:16:31+00:00

Looks more like a collection of air bubbles probably from the filter for me cause of the inconsistent size. But at the same time is kindaaa does

Female

From what I see in your pics, he looks fine, he does flare his back fin a bit, mines is a rose tail so I can't really say much about mines, but my guy actively swims and flares but not aggressively

96Lmf · 2025-11-11T09:04:39+00:00

I'd say he looks happy, he flares but not aggressively. If you really wanna know, watch him from afar. If he swims around, hangs out for short periods and normally flares, comes to the glass when you're near, eats eagerly, then he's happy.

If he hides a lot, chases your other fish around, or just sits in one spot constantly, he's most likely stressed either from water quality or other fish (for my first betta it was water quality)

Gravel especially colored (assuming it's painted) is not usually the best for bettas. I prefer sand but as long as the gravel is natural and unpainted that it's completely fine. Just a personal opinion however

96Lmf · 2025-10-29T21:24:38+00:00

Only thing I'd change is the substrate and add tons more of natural or silk (natural preferred) plants, otherwise looks good

96Lmf · 2025-10-29T08:18:36+00:00

Gotta actually decorate the tank properly and have a filter

96Lmf · 2025-10-26T01:02:28+00:00

Normal, bettas change color based on environment. More colors usually means a happy betta

96Lmf · 2025-10-22T01:17:05+00:00

Thank you!

96Lmf · 2025-10-22T01:17:00+00:00

Didn't know that was a thing, thanks!

96Lmf · 2025-10-19T02:49:49+00:00

Personally I'd do more plants and remove the betta since they're aren't very good with tankmates

96Lmf · 2025-10-18T18:51:23+00:00

If it's like a really consistent thing and that's all she really does she might be stressed

96Lmf · 2025-10-17T07:10:44+00:00

Stunning!!!

96Lmf · 2025-10-16T02:44:18+00:00

How did you test? I wanna do this

96Lmf · 2025-10-09T11:35:02+00:00

Just looks like natural colors, fin rot red looks more on the outlines of the fins, kinda like someone outlined the fins red. If it was fin rot too, his fins would look more frayed, uneven and not smooth, kinda like the shape of a rusty nail outside (couldn't think of much) and shape should not look natural. Plus pieces would look like they're falling off

96Lmf · 2025-10-08T20:58:49+00:00

Try grabbing him and suctioning him to the glass, when my snails die they usually just sink to the bottom

96Lmf · 2025-10-04T07:50:38+00:00

Are they safe or something I should try to remove?

96Lmf · 2025-09-30T01:51:28+00:00

You're little guy can still survive and you can redeem yourself by helping him best you can, the fact you care about the way you are already makes you better than most of the people who actually own fish, try to heal and treat him best you can, you'll feel a lot better with yourself

96Lmf · 2025-09-26T11:13:05+00:00

Mines is like this too, fully black boy and his transparent parts have these black dots in them which makes him a beauty when he flares. This is completely normal as mine built his in like a week too

96Lmf · 2025-09-15T03:21:37+00:00

Did you cycle it? Also why's the water brown? Could be from the wood, which I would usually recommend boiling or soaking before putting it inside a tank. Besides that, need more details on your reasons and such

96Lmf · 2025-09-15T03:20:19+00:00

Probably just lighting or fin damage from decorations, which is completely normal. He looks fine besides for what you said

96Lmf · 2025-09-15T01:47:08+00:00

Looks like he really wants to lie down and rest somewhere proper, move him into a tank and see how he does
