I recorded this a few days ago but finally got around to editing it! 5 common things you will hear or may have already heard about betta fish. Making a video in the future about the basics to betta fish care and how to attempt a community tank with your betta! Thank you for watching! Hopefully I'll be getting a better camera here soon.

It's no wonder why many people don't know/care about the quality of their lives.
But the person who worked at my pet store said "Well- Um Beta fish can be aggressive towards each other- So i recommend you getting at least-One."
And I faced the tiny cups of water with one beta fish- And i thought. "Then why aren't they aggressive- They are so close to each other."- So I am like- "Are you sure, Like can't you try to at least put one with one-..-I really don't know what you mean?-"
And don't get me started on how Walmart treat there beta fish- They have them in very small cups- That are dirty, that have there waste, and it looks like there tails are rotting or mouths.
There was woman looking at them, and said "They all look sick, I'd rather not buy them from here if i were you-."
So we ended up not getting any.
So yeah- This all happened in like one day and i was very upset.
When I moved out and became my own adult, I saved up for this little used 3 gallon aquarium. It didn't go well due to my inexperience and some bad advice from the pet store. But my second aquarium and attempt has gone great. I did better research and selection this time.4 healthy little fish, variety of cover, and only one death in almost a year. I hope to do a big corner aquarium someday.
Edit: I do have the money for one probably but I still don't think she will.. Let me

In the end, your guides are great and I hope a lot of people follow your expectations for fish care.
Ps they died last year

So in 5th grade, my science teacher had many fishes and snails. to describe the teacher in little words, she looked like she lived in school and was very cranky and rude. she had at least 5 50 gallon tanks, and some fishbowls. Weirdly the snails were in the tanks and the fish, which were mostly beta fish, were in fish bowls. At the beginning of the year, she had 6 beta fish and at the end of the year, she had 0. One of the fish was not fed and ate 2 fish. And the rest of the fish died because she never cleaned or fed them. I wrote her a letter saying that the fish shouldn't be treated like that and that they deserve a proper home, she literally gave him to me the next day. My betta fish was beautiful and I named him Muvi. He died 1 year and a half later. I tried to care for him and I fed him his favorite meals, cleaned his tank every 2 weeks. I would buy plants for him, but because he was so mistreated before, he died.
RIP Muvi <3
I thought it was the water but even after monitoring carefully for changes in quality and hardness my favorite one still died after only half a year.
I'm glad that I know better now but it makes me sad that I never had a chance to give them a good long life.
I once bought the biggest plaket/king that i could find at Petco and took him home. After putting him in the 2.5 as a temporary holding/quarantine tank, he spent his first few minutes swimming in circles. It was sad to see him so confused once he realized he was out of the cup and actually had to bump his nose against each tank side to figure out how big it was. Thankfully, after he got used to that, I set up my empty 10 gallon for him. He was so scared of the huge space at first and hid in the corner, refusing to go through the filters bubbles the next day or so. But, after he got over that with a bit of coaxing of food to travel around the tank, he eventually loved it. His favorite thing to do after that, aside from exploring, was to play in the filter current.
Note: Not all bettas can take the filter current and it does have to be adjusted to their level of swimming to not overpower them. I've had to do that with Vieltails, HMs, and crown-tails, ect. But this guy was the size of a small goldfish, 2 1/2 inches long, and had short fins. So, he was a bit better swimmer then the longer-finned betta. xD
They will always have a place in the tank to avoid the water flow.
It keeps them active and healthy.
I kept a betta from Wal-Mart for almost seven years.
And they all have their own little personalities, the best part! :D
So please, pets are not things, don't give them as gifts (unless the person has mentioned that they wanted one).
I want a tank that wont leak or is cheaply made
I would like to get a filter that wont suck him up and kill him
I was surprised with a betta fish last night as a birthday present.
As happy as I am to have a new pet, there so much responsibility that goes into it.
Since he/she is in my care I want to give him a long lasting/ comfortable as possible life.
Please respond as soon as possible.
I have looked at plenty of online kits, but some leak others fish get stuck in filters :'(
I'm willing to pay for everything separately
R.I.P Bruce (My little Kung Fu Fishy)
My husband and i are African Cichlid keepers..and i absolutely love them
:/
And with a proper tank setup, multiple bettas will live together without problem, regardless of their sexes.
DON'T HATE ME PLEEAASE!!!!
;-;-;-;-;
Of course if you watch five different videos on Betta care you will get 3 to 5 different recommendations for a minimum tank size.
I think your video was great you really did a good job.
but surpassingly it lived 4 4years
but after watched this bought 20 gallon tank 4 my bettas
Me:Puts finger to glass
Fish: looks at it for 3 seconds
Fish:Try to boop it through glass
Me: take my finger way
FIsh: RUn to the top and go crazy even before I put the food in

(I didnt make this petition, I am just sharing it.
I was hoping you could give me some advice on a beta in my home. My mom bought my 16 year old brother a beta fish for his birthday back in March and has been kept in this 11 inch long tank that's about less than half that size with no filter. I tried to tell my parents that he needs a bigger tank but they won't listen and say that he's fine. I always felt so bad that he was stuck in such a small space, but recently I haven't seen him swimming around much. And a lot of today he stayed near the bottom of the tank not moving very much at all. (I'm not sure if he was sleeping or not though)
What should I do ? Do you think he's okay ?
Me: ummm..... But one of my betta fish ate one of my snails and almost ate the one I got her later on, so mine is a carnivore, though she still eats fish food
R.I.P.
(My old betta fish). I know they are freshwater fish don't ask about the name
