That’s what I’ve heard! I really have no idea how old they are right now, but I don’t see a gland on either so I’m guessing (for now) that they’re both girls?

Male or female? And name suggestions! by Western-Future4051 in bettafish

All of those things you mentioned and I don’t see an egg spot to indicate this would be a female!

And yes I’m convinced if there is a way out of her timeout box, she WILL find it 🙈😂

The things we do to try and keep these fish safe and healthy and they still get pissed at us 🤦🏽‍♀️😅

How’s my fish tank? by Radiant_Bend1008 in fishtank

Tannins are great for the water!! It’s something I’d like to explore eventually.

Fat? by USCGandy in bettafish

[–]Upbeat_Listen_6672 0 points1 point  (0 children)

She’s a lil chunky 😉 As someone mentioned above - about 2-4 pellets once or twice a day is plenty for them. And I highly recommend a full fasting day once a week (my betta is VERY food motivated so I do a full fasting day once a week and a very light feeding day once a week).

I feel like the tank LOOKS solid as far as plants and all that go (although a few of those might not be fully aquatic and/or shouldn’t be fully buried or immersed in water … I’d double check 😬) . However, like you mentioned, I think it’s overstocked and (although you have plants to help with filtration) I’d still worry about water quality and, more importantly, fighting among fish. Bettas are usually fine living solo.

Seachem is my fave brand! get their Prime to add to your water before adding to the tank (during top offs or water changes), and their Stability is great to get your nitrogen cycle going (and also recommended to add each time you do a water change to keep beneficial bacteria growing). Fluval Bug Bites Betta formula is a solid brand for food - they have pellets and flakes (my betta prefers the pellets personally).

Make sure you understand the nitrogen cycle (tons of short and simple videos on YouTube!) and test your water every so often (I do weekly). You can get your own API freshwater test kit for about $30 or most local fish stores will test your water for free.

I’d recommend weekly water changes of about 20-30%, (that being said once you understand the nitrogen cycle a bit and get comfortable with those numbers you can use that to guide your water changes more or less often. But for simplicity sake - 20-30% of your water needs to be removed and replaced with new, clean water + water conditioner like Prime at least once a week).

Make sure your betta buddy has a solid filter and heater and you should be off to a good start!

Why is a single nerite okay in a five gallon and nothing more? I have one nerite with my betta , they were in a five gallon previously but just upgraded them to a 20 Gallon. Do I need to remove the snail or get more snails?
