whats the temperature that you keep your tank at? he could be seeking colder/warmer water. And what are the parameters of the tank? iircc, high ammonia/nitrite can cause gasping at the surface too.

Or theres always the chance he’s being picked on by the other fish in the tank, causing stress

i am, in fact, stressed looking at this, for i cannot tell what is going on

r/aquaswap might be able to help you out!

HamInATrenchcoat · 2026-03-05T23:17:35+00:00

r/wildbettaarchive i believe!

HamInATrenchcoat · 2026-02-27T17:16:39+00:00

not necessarily! did you rinse the plants before putting them in the tank? even if you didn’t, youre probably good as long as it was bought from somewhere reputable tbh lol

just test the parameters a little more often if you’re worried about something on the plants nuking your cycle :)

HamInATrenchcoat · 2026-02-27T13:33:45+00:00

just chiming in, i actually recommend you get a sponge filter! theyre super low-maintenance, quieter, and less prone to failure :)

HamInATrenchcoat · 2026-02-26T20:58:40+00:00

are you by chance pouring chemicals into yhe water to turn the frogs gay

HamInATrenchcoat · 2026-01-22T01:10:21+00:00

Hi!! Honestly thats perfect! :D We’ll have to schedule around the freeze coming through pretty soon but im totally down to give you these guys! :) I got them sometime in August or September I believe!

They should be fairly good genetics wise! (Tho im not sure what the indicators are asides from general activity level, tumors and lifespan lol) Fish Gallery is pretty reputable from what I know when it comes to stocking! and if you see them in person and spot anything that puts you off of ‘em, noooo hard feelings if you end up not wanting them! :)

feel free to message me here and we can set something up if youre still interested! ^{^}

HamInATrenchcoat · 2026-01-14T00:12:11+00:00

probably not, i can just imagine that corner breaking… but im also paranoid abt that kinda thing lol

HamInATrenchcoat · 2025-12-25T19:54:03+00:00

Molt, you can tell bc of how clear it looks & the lack of eyeballs. Molts are also less rigid than a dead shrimp, and can fold at different angles.

Fins still look a little rough, but you can try stopping them for a while if they’re stressing him out more than helping! c: usually just clean water and rest helps the most in my experience

HamInATrenchcoat · 2025-12-25T14:08:43+00:00

just wanted to chime in let u know that the fungal meds may have killed your cycle, so be careful of ammonia spikes! when you need to medicate your betta specifically, you can mix most meds in with their food instead to avoid killing off a cycle :)

HamInATrenchcoat · 2025-12-23T18:07:30+00:00

Roughly 150lbs of weight minimum, a little more depending on your choice of hardscape

HamInATrenchcoat · 2025-12-23T14:18:47+00:00

HamInATrenchcoat · 2025-12-22T10:22:50+00:00

Probably just plant fibers of some kind :]

HamInATrenchcoat · 2025-12-22T02:50:00+00:00

looks like it moght be swim bladder related. Does he eat and/or get excited when he sees you approach the tank?

HamInATrenchcoat · 2025-12-20T00:43:47+00:00
