First time betta owner here! Here’s my conundrum-my friend gave me a betta fish and a 2.5 gallon tank for my birthday. I started setting up the tank yesterday and it said wait 24-48 hours to transplant the fish from the little cup it came from to the tank. That being said, I read online that a 5 gallon tank is really ideal for a betta fish. I ordered a 5 gallon tank but it won’t be here for a couple days. So I guess I need to know what option will cause the least amount of stress for my fish.

A. Go ahead and transplant it to the 2.5 gallon tank now and a few days later transfer to the 5 gallon tank or

B. Leave it in the little cup thing it came in and transplant it to the 5 gallon when it gets here and set up (maybe 3-4 more days).

I really want to give this betta the best life possible so any advice/help on how to care for him is appreciated!

Some of these posts in this sub or so awful, people banging on glass, neglect, improper care that is straight up abuse, ect. I can't imagine not caring for these fish, it's my hobby and my passion. Some of these people make me sick. How could you buy an animal you don't know about or care about and then ask reddit instead of doing actual research ??

My tank has been running for about a week, i just added drift wood and began putting a little bit of fish food to help start cycling. It is a little cloudy is that normal and what else do i need to do before getting fish.

I haven’t had a tank going in awhile but decided to start one back up and then got this guy today!

I've got a betta and I've already fallen in love. Do you guys have a name suggestion? The one with the most upvote will be his name.

So I’m upgrading my 25l tank to a 55l (14gallon) Is there anyway to skip the nitrogen cycle? Was wondering if I just took the water biomedia,decor, plants and substrate from my old tank and added it to my new one if Iit would sustain enough bacteria so the cycle wouldn’t crash? I don’t wanna wait months or do a fish in cycle.

My three year old betta passed away a few weeks ago and I was depressed looking at an empty tank, so I got this little man today! I’d like to introduce little Blueberry! Went from a tiny pathetic cup to a planted 10g all for himself (and a three year old mystery snail named Bagel 🥯).

Hi all! My 5 gallon housing my betta, two yellow shrimp and two dwarf frogs suddenly gained this filmy substance over the branch I put in. This tank is a few days old (I used water from a different tank where my betta was originally housed - so should already be cycled). Is that algae? Could my filter not be working well? I just saw it today (was fine yesterday) so I want to fix it quickly. Thank you!

Por uma irresponsabilidade minha, acabei machucando meu betta, onde metade da cauda dele acabou sendo arrancada desda base da cauda, chegou ate a sair sangue. Gostaria de saber se a parte arrancada dele, vai voltar a crescer de novo?

Betta Injured

Due to my irresponsibility, I ended up hurting my betta, where half of his tail ended up being ripped off from the base of his tail, and blood was even coming out. I would like to know if the part that was ripped off will grow back again?
