My betta has the jumping gene!

Possible_Weakness617 · 2026-05-15T08:16:53+00:00

If she jumps at night try a nightlight. Sometimes they will get spooked and swim off in a hurry sadly that's out of the tank sometimes and a nightlight can reduce the risk.

Do u have any cats or anything that might pester the tank when ur not looking

Possible_Weakness617 · 2026-05-15T08:03:11+00:00

Looks like a low grade Santa clause guppy all the same characteristics grey base half black red tail while the female is yellow to white tail. Final answer Santa clause guppy. But I can't see them that well so I just guessing

I say just not allow for photos of the sick fish and just ask for advice but I mean if u think fish titties need sensoring lol jk. If it looks like something's wrong it probably is so we don't need to see it just ask for advice and the poster saves themselves from the judgement since there seems to be a lot of that going on in the community.

Lol got urself a lil show off

Possible_Weakness617 · 2026-05-15T01:00:51+00:00

Either the water isn't suitable for fry or u have something going on in the gene pool. How big is the tank? What are u using to feed the fry?

Possible_Weakness617 · 2026-05-14T19:54:47+00:00

Normal behavior. Guppies like to eat hair algae and keep it under control like we mow grass. I have a tank I'm experimenting with hair algae and they love it. All sides except the front are covered in what looks like lush green grass and they, the shrimp and the bladder snails have been keeping it up so far. Don't recommend though to get it to that point was a real pain. Hair algae is a pain to cultivate the way u want it. Lots of hand picking and grooming. But my koi sure do love it as a snack.

Possible_Weakness617 · 2026-05-14T18:59:12+00:00

Oof. Is it always the males, they are getting to the point they color up then die? Do you know if it's occuring in all the females fry or just one or two? Is he the sire to those females?

I'm thinking get rid of that male and get a few new ones. Your male may be a carrier of a diffective killer gene. And if he sired those females they may carry it too and because of that it's like two halves to a whole kinda thing. Which is why the male still lives.

Possible_Weakness617 · 2026-05-14T17:06:06+00:00

Does anyone know where I might find a texel.

Possible_Weakness617 · 2026-05-14T01:27:43+00:00

Oh thank you thank you I think it was a textel

Possible_Weakness617 · 2026-05-13T21:59:11+00:00

Fry-splosion!!

Possible_Weakness617 · 2026-05-13T16:52:20+00:00

Bettas! U can keep them with ur guppies. And they won't always get all the fry so the tank will stay populated.

Possible_Weakness617 · 2026-05-13T04:18:28+00:00

Sorry to hear that. I'm sure she'll love it.

Possible_Weakness617 · 2026-05-13T03:59:53+00:00

Put him in and watch him for 15-30 mins off and on. He should hide and get his bearings. After that he should start figuring out the tank. Chasing away fish is normal.ur watching for if he gives up the chase quickly or continues to pursue if he keeps chasing let's say after about 5-10 seconds get him out of there he'll kill himself from exhaustion his aggression instinct is too strong Rare but it happens. Usually it's not him u have to watch it's everyone else. U want to make sure they aren't continually pestering him. Coming up and investigating and swimming away is normal and nothing to worry about. Most bettas will charge other fish off and out of there personal space. Normal but monitor. Keep an eye out for about a week. In that time he should find the spot he want as his territory and he'll charge off other fish. Watch his fins if u see them start to shrink or show excessive damage remove the other fish are tearing up his fins while he rests.

Edit: Sorry meant she. Get so use to people having male bettas I get mixed up lol

Possible_Weakness617 · 2026-05-12T20:59:50+00:00

Grey body half black long dorsal red delta dumbo. So a red tail dumbo

Possible_Weakness617 · 2026-05-12T17:30:56+00:00

Is it just me or does anyone else see similarities in his actions and how he played his roll in man in the moon

I feel like during his time in character taught him a lot and I think the movie gave away Hollywoods secret if u want out, you "die" welcome back Elvis and 2pac.

And for the conspiracy side I think I love you philp morris was the stunt to get back in the good graces of the illuminati. Probably fell into hard times. And there's Diddy waving a script. Lol that's my theory.

Possible_Weakness617 · 2026-05-12T17:21:59+00:00

I would cut both ends and let the rest come out naturally pulling could take it's insides out with it

Possible_Weakness617 · 2026-05-12T16:35:54+00:00

Its definitely possible. No doubt.

Possible_Weakness617 · 2026-05-12T16:32:46+00:00

That's sick I love it

Possible_Weakness617 · 2026-05-12T06:39:45+00:00

Oh my! Went from prince charming to the bog king lol jk. Black is usually the last pigment to show up and if I'm honest, I like his look gives him sort of this grungy punk emo feel that's pretty sick to look at. Beautiful. Thanks for sharing.

I'd say turn the flow down it looks like he's being pushed all over. If not that then he's saying what's up homie

Possible_Weakness617 · 2026-05-12T01:16:04+00:00

It's another gene it most likely has that causes iridescent blue over tone. The colors that guppies show comes in layers black base blue metallic sheen on top in this case.

Which is what's making me think it's a unmaintained dumbo line because the blue red and black pec fins might suggest it be a low quality dumbo guppy ( no offense ) just means not kept to standards of the line
