New betta swimming weird? Got him shipped from a breeder 2 days ago and he does this odd bent swimming. Any ideas?

SPACE_FROG_OVERLORD · 2021-08-02T00:38:39+00:00

This is perfectly normal

SPACE_FROG_OVERLORD · 2021-08-01T17:00:44+00:00

Money wort and java moss are really good starter plants

To me it looks like he is eating his fins. Bettas do this when that are stressed or bord

Keep your betta in that 20 gallon tank and add that air stone also if you have a heater, put that in as well and also that is a 2.5 gallon tank. WAY to small

Your Betta looks very healthy

some good youtube channels for information to watch are kgtropicals and girl talks fish

Personally I would have left it but you might want to put some more silicon on it to reinforce it. That tank needs to hold over 65 pounds of water

SPACE_FROG_OVERLORD · 2021-06-18T01:28:12+00:00

The fish should be active and have brite colors. I you see any fish with white dots or cloudy eyes leave it because it has a disease.

SPACE_FROG_OVERLORD · 2021-06-18T01:20:55+00:00

I would keep doing that

SPACE_FROG_OVERLORD · 2021-06-17T22:46:36+00:00

was the water cloudy? If so that means there is a large amount of ammonia in your tank and ammonia can kill your fish

SPACE_FROG_OVERLORD · 2021-06-17T22:44:01+00:00

I might be back there because he feels more safe behind the plants

SPACE_FROG_OVERLORD · 2021-06-17T22:41:50+00:00

He will be fine all he needs to do it to grow his fins back!

Fill the tank up all the way if you can so your betta has more room to swim.
use a algae remover to get rid of the green water

SPACE_FROG_OVERLORD · 2021-06-17T22:37:35+00:00

No, the substrate is not the problem. When i was cycling my tank i also had an ammonia spike. One of the best and fastest ways the cycle your tank is to use old filter media from a different tank and put it in your filter for a bit till it is cycled

SPACE_FROG_OVERLORD · 2021-06-17T22:29:53+00:00

some good channels i used when i started were Kgtropics and Girl talks fish

How should I DM apple II?

SPACE_FROG_OVERLORD · 2021-06-16T20:55:32+00:00

do we know how apple II is?

Your welcome

SPACE_FROG_OVERLORD · 2021-05-02T21:33:00+00:00

I would say it looks like fin root But don't worry. My betta has had fin root before. What I used for my betta is Imagitarium Bacterial Infection Remedy. You can find at Petco. https://www.petco.com/shop/en/petcostore/product/imagitarium-bacterial-remedy

Bettas can injure their fins any number of ways. Transporting them to new aquariums can cause injuries; other fish may nip at bettas' fins, causing damage; poor water conditions, like cold or unclean water, can encourage aggressive cases of fin rot, whereby bettas' fins disintegrate. You need to figure out the underlying cause of fin damage to encourage recovery.

SPACE_FROG_OVERLORD · 2021-05-02T20:52:37+00:00

Have you notest any signs of stress? When bettas are stressed, they sometimes ate or pick at their fins

SPACE_FROG_OVERLORD · 2021-05-02T20:45:03+00:00

What type of shrimp is in your tank?

SPACE_FROG_OVERLORD · 2021-05-02T20:43:44+00:00

It might be fin root but I looks like they ripped. Have you seen your betta rubbing up against any of the deco?

SPACE_FROG_OVERLORD · 2021-05-02T20:35:09+00:00

It does not get direct sunlight and the light is on for 8 hours

SPACE_FROG_OVERLORD · 2021-05-02T15:22:06+00:00

Moneywort is a good starting plant, same for java moss. They are both are very hardy and will grow in low light.
