Awesome Betta Fish - 8 years ago

Make your voice louder because I cant hear !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

If you are going to get a Betta, change 25 percent of the water 1 to 2 weeks and use Betta Water Conditioner, i recommend 1 to 5 gallons tanks, if you can put some life plants, Anubias plants are the easiest to care, feed 1 to 2 pellets a day, and if you put white gravel you can see the poop and pick them up with a small fish net, and you will get less ammonia and the water will last cleaner longer, Good Luck, Love and Blessings ☆☆☆☆☆

Betta's can attuatly last months without food (don't push it though) a few days won't hurt. But he might just be taking bites. I would put 3-4 in the tank and check back later to see were they are. If all fails I recomend topfin cause I haven't met a betta that hates it.

Saddam Silverio - 12 years ago

@destineekr13 your betta its probly dead by now.. anyways you are supposed to feed them once a day.. everyday..

Saddam Silverio - 12 years ago

@AnimalLoveBug101 what did they say?

sweetReaper - 12 years ago

@mderavil18 Some bettas are picky. Try him on both flakes and pellets as some bettas have been spoiled into eating one type and not the other. Most of my bettas have preferred pellets but some will only eat flakes. Sometimes you just need to experiment a bit :)

3 weeks ago I bought a Betta. And since I bought it, it has not eaten ANYTHING AT ALL!! I feed it BettaMin. What should I do????? NEED HELP!!

RamJim9697 - 13 years ago

@SanFranciscan415 probably, but males will sometimes fight with females if they are not in the reproducing stage..? lol i didnt know what else to call it.. but they are best left alone. how big is the tank? and is there any other big fish in their because betta's tend to get picked on by bigger fish.

how long have you had this fish and is he still alive and well?

Carlos Sullivan - 13 years ago

Is it possible to put 1 male with 2 or more females if the tank is big enough?

AnimalLoveBug101 - 13 years ago

@venomDgamer got mine from petsmart

Orange Monkey Eagle - 13 years ago

@XxLetMeBeMexX the bubble nest i kind of like bird nests but made by bettas. the male makes the nest and the female lays eggs in it.

OreoxLovee - 14 years ago

AnimalLoveBug101 - 14 years ago

your betta is gorgeous. It looks very heathy. I hate those little containers they keep them in. it is the reason i got a betta, to get him out of that little container. he is now in a 5 gallon tank. all the plants are safe for betta and most ment for bettas. I have been feeding him the pellets, but he is spiting it out, becasue he doesnt like it. we are gonna try some shirp fish food, that it said they will eat online. hopley he will like this food. Kill betta torchourers!!!!

AnimalLoveBug101 - 14 years ago

But because it is a newer betta i could be sick look for signs of things like tail rot or more fish illness. But i really do not think your betta is sick.

AnimalLoveBug101 - 14 years ago

Plus my mom and dad would not let me get a 10 gallon (battas are happiest at a 5 gallon or more tank) i think you shouldsave mony and by a large tank (5-10 gallons) and put your betta in there with a few gost shrimp (or other cleaning aqatic life i say gost shrimp because they are pretty cheap petsmat sells them at 0.33 per shrimp) and some other tropical fish that are not nippy to the betta fins.

AnimalLoveBug101 - 14 years ago

As far as tanks go i know wal-mart and other stores like it sell good tanks (never get a betta starter kit they are to small) also petco has some good ones.If you do not have any of those places thry a local pet store. You should get at the min of 2.5 gallons but i think you need to start small befor you get big.

AnimalLoveBug101 - 14 years ago

Do not worrie i am not getting mad about all your betta questions.I really love to answer things like this.OK with feeding you betta problem try a diffrent kind a pellets ify ou want pellets.I as you saw use top fin (i think).If that one will not work try blood worms you can get them at wal-mart for about a few dollars and most bettas love them.I really think that it is your betta is a picky eater (most are i just got lucky with my food).

nicogreen7 - 14 years ago

Sorry I'm bugging you, but you seem fairy knowlegable about this stuff. Do you use a fiter or heater? Or when should you use one- like at what size tank do you think you should use these?

nicogreen7 - 14 years ago

really? It's only 1.7? It looks fairly big...I'm looking for a biger tank for my Betta cause right now he's only in a bowl... not much of a life I'm afraid. Yours looks to be a good size, but we don't have a petsmart here...

AnimalLoveBug101 - 14 years ago

@nicogreen7 it is a 1.7 gallon at petsmart (goldfish starter kit.but i will be updateing to a 10 gallon with my new frogs

nicogreen7 - 14 years ago

Also, where did you get your tank? It's really nice. Is it a 10 gallon tank?

nicogreen7 - 14 years ago

I bought a Betta 3 days ago and he still won't eat. At first I has goldfish flakes, but then I went back and bought him Betta pellets, but he still wont eat. I don't know if he just doesn't see me putting them in or if he's sick or if he's a very picky eater. Any ideas? I'm starting to get worried.
