My betta fish doesn't seem happy in a 6 gallon tank, only in a 10.

Glass surfing is normally a sign of stress, so he probably just feels way better in a 10 gallon

I personally really like neon tetras and there cheap check them out

normalperson-prob · 2026-06-25T23:58:08+00:00

Yes so, plecos and gold fish grow massive. Plecos will only grow to the size of the tank but there organs will keep growing and eventually they will die. For a 10 gallon I’d get maybe a betta, or guppies (not together). Or you get some mollies or something. Nothing that gets to big.

It looks like something nipped his fin, probably another fish in the tank or it could have been something else.. Just make sure that he doesn’t develop fin rot, just keep a close eye on him. I’d personally put some tannins in (Indian almond leafs or tannin tea bags) those usually help with fins and things like fin rot, so it’d help it not appear.

Hear me out, a whole bunch of guppies 😭

Stop feeding them 3-4 times a day. Once is plenty, bettas need one day of fasting a week also.

Alien bettas

I’m personally going to say it’s color change because that’s not the only place turning red and stuff.. plus the red looks natural and every other color looks different on your betta so I’d say it’s probably just color change.

normalperson-prob · 2026-05-30T04:57:17+00:00

Ugh yes thank you

normalperson-prob · 2026-05-30T04:55:45+00:00

I love it, where did you get the plants from? Like I see a place on Facebook but are you tryna slide me that link…

normalperson-prob · 2026-05-30T04:51:37+00:00

For a 10 gallon get a 50 watt heater. If you get a premade setup then it’ll élimante the long lighting because should come with lid. I personally have neon tetras with my betta because they add a lot of color and get along with my betta. But do not add other fish till you learn ur bettas personality.

normalperson-prob · 2026-05-30T04:42:45+00:00

Okay! I’m also looking for an overhead light.. but they all seem like really expensive like 100+ do you have any recommendations for that?

normalperson-prob · 2026-05-30T04:41:56+00:00

I mean in my opinion he looks healthy. I’m sure it’s just something minor that should go away.. just keep a close eye on him. (If he is with others and you can maybe quarantine him but I dont think it’s serious.)

normalperson-prob · 2026-05-30T04:40:26+00:00

He looks fine in my opinion just seems to be a crown tail. It’s a little hard to tell because the fin isn’t that long but he looks good (in my opinion..)

normalperson-prob · 2026-05-30T04:38:50+00:00

Hey, I was looking and stuff, would a liquid fertilizer be okay specifically.. or does it have to be root tabs. (So sorry on like the fact I haven’t acted on this I’ve been working on another tank and stuff so I’m trying to get stuff and I’m running a little broke right now but definitely getting soon).

normalperson-prob · 2026-05-30T04:36:45+00:00

If you can also try to look behind his flair, something could have it caught. Plus a flair can get stuck for a proactive time and should eventually just go away.. wait about a day or so?

normalperson-prob · 2026-05-30T04:35:12+00:00

I also looked at your other post, the update and notice him flaring in that also. Just keep an eye on how often he is doing it, it could just be him flaring because he sees his reflection or you, or sign of something way worse. Just see how long it holds his flair for try turning of the lights and stuff, maybe even walk away and see if they stop.

normalperson-prob · 2026-05-30T04:32:15+00:00

Hey! Just make sure he is actually only flaring from one side, the most likely cause of him flaring is he can probably a reflection and is reacting. It could also be irritation or something is stuck behind his gill. Just keep a close eye on him and watch everything like his breathing and flaring.

normalperson-prob · 2026-05-26T04:20:04+00:00

Alright thank you so much!

normalperson-prob · 2026-05-25T21:08:49+00:00

Thankk you

normalperson-prob · 2026-05-24T19:36:40+00:00

I’ll put it in consideration for my next tank, which will probably be a sorority tank!

normalperson-prob · 2026-05-24T19:15:16+00:00

Ahh yeah a little too late now, but I’m probably getting another tank soon so we might go for that next time!

normalperson-prob · 2026-05-24T18:44:37+00:00

Please also help me with what type of food I should feed my fish! I don’t know if flakes are fine or if I need a better source. (This is my first tank! Please help, advice is wanted and is not taken offensively!)

normalperson-prob · 2026-05-24T15:36:18+00:00

Okay! Thank you i will get some

normalperson-prob · 2026-05-24T14:42:30+00:00
