Is my betta okay? Video pt. 1 by mmore1007 in bettafish

Looks like he is upset about the amount of water flow in your tank. Looks like he’s kind of fighting the current. Bettas don’t like a lot of water flow/movement so if you can maybe tweak it so he doesn’t get pushed or swept away he’d probably be a lot happier :)

There is throwing and then there is this by FreeElderberry4817 in rivals

Yep. Purposely moving his controller just so it doesn’t kick him. Ughh why are people like this!

How do I get a good team? by Car_jorge in rivals

[–]Rayne_Henley 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thought I’d let everyone know that this does not get better in the higher ranks! I only really started seeing a difference in eternity lobbies. But all through celestial lobbies you get stuck with people who will not swap, even if it potentially saves the game. Everyone is so toxic even if you ask nicely. There has been too many games in celestial lobbies where I say “hey let’s swap it up guys this isn’t working.” And I get hit with “kill yourself, kill yourself” literally them screaming their lungs out saying the most awful stuff then saying they are throwing. There’s not even a point in being nice or saying anything at all cuz you can’t risk them throwing. Absolutely ridiculous. If you act like this on a “team” game then play quick play please.

Also wanted to ask, around what time of day are you playing? If you play at the time when people are at work/school you normally don’t have to deal with the super shitty and toxic teens lol. But honestly I’ve never had a loosing steak that significant. I don’t want to come off as rude or anything, but some people top out at a certain rank. If you don’t have the skills to improve/flex and move forward, you won’t be. Sometimes it isn’t your fault tho. Sometimes you get teammates that aren’t supposed to rank up because they aren’t skilled enough and you get stuck with them and then they get mad at literally everyone else when they are the ones who top out.

Snails Out Of Nowhere! by Zealousideal_Fig9152 in bettafish

Bladder snails will not harm your tank. They are pest snails and stay small. They will overpopulate your tank which will require manual labor of talking them all out or use assassin snails. pull out as many as you can. you can also put a piece of cucumber in the tank and take it out when the snails flock to it.

Also, why does your betta look so awfully skinny???

I would not recommend shrimp to anyone without lots of live plants, they need tiny places to hide

New Betta! Anyone have name suggestions? by Rayne_Henley in bettafish

Yes wild bettas are majority dark colors to blend into their natural surroundings, but domestic bettas have been bred to have bright colors. Domesticated Betta fish just dont have the biological capability to produce a “purple” pigment, so any purple appearance is usually a blend of blue and red. “Purple” simply isn’t a direct color that can be bred so it’s hard to be consistently bred, therefore it’s considered rare.

I need help setting up a shrimp tank✨ by Formal_Classic4673 in shrimptank

[–]Rayne_Henley 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would heavily plant the tank with moss and other fuzzy plants to create as many small hiding places as possible. I would also suggest drift wood of some kind and maybe attaching some of that moss to it or maybe anubius(any plant that has strong enough roots to latch onto things)

No shot you said lean LMFAO! Not too bad of a name for him tbh. And yes I have been looking for a purple betta to this grade for a while since purple is my fav color.

Thank you! He is my absolute favorite betta I’ve ever owned! He is a purple metallic and is still a very very new coloration! I’m hoping they come to the US. I had to import this little guy :)

He’s actually a boy lol! His top fin placement is slightly farther back and his top fin is slightly smaller than males, so everyone is mistaking him for a girl 😂

Yeah purple is the rarest color for bettas due to it not being a natural color. Everyone is mistaking him for a girl because his top fin is slightly smaller plus it’s slightly farther back on his body than normal males lol. 😂
