Anonymous - 2013-01-11 How fast will the fins grow back? My betta hasn't yet lost any fins but it is clear and black tipped on his tail. When will color come back?
kye turnbull - 2013-03-25 probably get a treatment from the pet shop, it worked for me!
Cindy - 2010-08-20 Hi, I just got another male Betta and I would like to know what kind of feeder fish I can give him to eat that he won't just end up TRYING to eat? He has managed to kill, but, unsuccessfully swallow, 2 feeder guppies in one evening. Btw, he is not full grown yet. Has another inch to go, I would say, so, maybe later on he will be able to swallow them. How 'bout for now, though?

Jeremy Roche - 2013-01-18 Gut fed Ghost shrimp should work
kye turnbull - 2013-03-25 fighters don't eat other fish! sometimes they will kill but that is for breeding! i recommend a small type of shrimp, or a small water bug, although do not get bugs from a river! that's ended up bad for me, good luck with the fighters! my fighters are breeding right now!

Jeremy Roche - 2013-03-24 Bubble nest will vary on size. Environment, temperature changes, barometric changes and objects in the tank will plat an important role on the size and thickness of bubble nest.
kye turnbull - 2013-03-24 is there a average size? the male has built a nest and has stopped building it but it looks very small, and that's why I asked< but thanks anyway i really appreciate it!
kye turnbull - 2013-03-24 oh and is barometric or what ever it is the weather conditions? i forgot, because i have got alot of rain and low pressure around here
kye turnbull - 2013-03-25 oh well, the nest was big enough i guess, they bred! well more tiny baby's !

David Brough - 2013-01-19 I take it fin has lost its color? Maybe it is just changing as he grows older?
Samantha - 2011-03-07 Hi I get the feeling you all know what you are talking about. I have two male Bettas both in their own tanks. Can I keep females with them as everyone I talk to tells me I can't keep them together?! I know you can't keep two males together because they will fight. But I thought you could keep 1 male and up to 2 females together. Very confused. Any advice?

Ja\'el - 2011-05-06 You can keep the betta female with the male as long as you take her out after they breed or the male will kill her. And also only put her in if the male made a nest of bibbles on top of the water.
Anonymous - 2013-01-08 A male and a female can only be together if you are breeding them, or have a big tank that is heavily planted. You can keep females together with the right size tank, and also you need to do research before doing this.

Jeremy Roche - 2013-01-07 Will actually be the opposite. The goldfish will go after the betta. Betta are peaceful except to other male bettas. Goldfish release too much ammonia unless you have an incredible filter.
With bigger guppies a betta would do fine. The betta will eat any fry but the guppies would do the same.
Anonymous - 2013-01-06 I recently purchased a beautiful red betta from walmart. It was in pretty good condition too, nothing but a mild case of fin rot. But for some reason it won't eat anything but blood worms. So I've heard you shouldn't give blood worms to your betta alot because of the amount of protein, but at this point I have to becuase he won't eat the pellets or flakes. Does anyone know what I should do?

Jeremy Roche - 2013-01-06 Try adding some flake with a little blood worms or even brine shrimp.

Jeremy Roche - 2013-01-01 These fish do appreciate a well filtered and heated tank. Many people keep them in the small bowls which is not the best situation for the betta.

Anonymous - 2012-11-11 I just brought a red and blue male... but my blue one is still at the pet shop.. just waiting for another tank. I also am gonna get a female and see if I can breed them..:-) They are so beautiful. I have my red fighter (ninjah) in a tank with 2 gold fishes and he try and fights with them. I would put him in another tank alone but when they are alone they look bored and don't move. Thats why I've let him in there....
