Betta Fish Facts

Anonymous asked: my 2 yr old betta has become fat, really fat, looks stretched with scales showing but still flat, he makes bubble nests all the time, is he roe bound needing to mate or is a round stomach OK. Feed twice daily 4/5 pellets kyorin brand, partial water changes couple of times/week and vacuum bottom, 2 litre container conical shape narrow at bottom wide at top with water level at max diameter, summers in garden fountain/pond

If you can send me a picture. Cause it sounds like your over feeding your fish. Your bettas stomach is roughly the size of its eye so two pellets a day should be enough. I advice you to turn your heater up a bit so that its digestive system works a little better. Also having it flare for a few minutes sometimes helps digest fast

Anonymous asked: I have a 26 gallon tank with glofish and the florescent tetras. Can I put a beta in that tank or does it need to be in a separate tank ?

Its own tank. I’d move the tetras as well. You should keep goldfish only with other goldfish
