Fin Rot 101 is FINALLY finished! Go take a peek! It took forever (sorry!) because my hosting site's formatting options were going bonkers and kept deleting things and switching text around, ugh!

Friends on bettafish.com, would you like to see this as a how-to guide on the site, like my others? : )?

Up next is Cycling For Dummies, a guide to the fish-in Freshwater Cycle! I hope to finish in the next one or two weeks for everyone. Keep checking back to see!


Edit:  The "Great Betta Sites" tab is now listed under "Things We Love", which houses that tab as well as two review tabs, about stuff we love in Products We Love...and the Wall of Shame!, where bad and defective products will be put to shame!

Well, not to say that any of you are dummies, but Cycling for Dummies is in the works. It's a mini-guide for fish-in cycling, because I know from experience how cruddy a lot of information about cycling is. This guide will include an explanation of what the Cycling process is, what it does, how to keep your cycle going and of course... Water changes!

Fin Rot 101 is halfway there! Right now the information for treating mild to moderate fin rot is up, though it lacks pictures. (If you have any to give and you're from bettafish.com, let me know!) Please check it out at Fin Rot 101.

I'm going to be in Rhode Island from Saturday to Tuesday, so no new updates, booo! I'm sorry. Hopefully in that time more friends will post pictures, which the article is in desperate need of. I can't wait to come back and work more on it, and making Cycling for Dummies! :D <3

Happy weekend, bettakeepers! I hope it treats you well, and for those in the mid-west, I pray for you with all this nutso weather! <3

New fishie things: I got a small amazon sword today, my first. They're young, so here's hoping they last and grow up healthy. I'll keep everyone posted with what I find out about them. Live and learn!

Woohoo! We have a blog, people! It is here that I will be posting updates about site traffic, new articles, Blurbs (short articles not posted where articles are) and everything else going on at Betta Splendid! ♥

Some exciting things going on at Betta Splendid:

Finrot 101 is coming to the disease section! It will be a basic reference for finrot; how to recognize, how to treat and how to prevent. If you are from bettafish.com and have photos of advanced fin rot you took and would like to contribute, please private message me (Pewpewpew) or email me!

Fish-in Cycling quick guide is coming under Habitats soon! This will be a guide that is more in-depth than most guides, including when and how much to do for water changes, what you need to test the water, and how to make sure your fish is safe! Very exciting! :D

General Q&A questions asked by bettafish.com members will be answered! Thank you to all who asked questions, I hope to get to all of them quickly. ♥ This will also be posted to bettafish.com once there is enough questions posted. This will be an ongoing project, and new questions and answers will be posted first on the blog!
