Betta Fish 71 8

Betta fish dancing for each other. I don't get around to respond to all/most comments, but I'll try to answer what I can here. This is a male and female mating pair taken from a neglectful owner who purchased about 50 betta fish with the intent to breed them for profit and could not care for them. They were kept in tiny plastic containers which caused them a great deal of stress. Once they got in my tank, they did wonderfully. The male is flaring to show his interest in the female, and soon they were taken to a mating tank where he built a little bubble nest and they had their fun. I got the tank from PetsMart or PetCo, can't remember, and it came with a divider. I no longer have fish (this was filmed years ago). If you have problems with your fish, I recommend Googling for answers. One plant is real, the others are soft and gentle plastic, and his fins were damaged before I got him. Both fish were imported from Asia via mail. The filter was gentle enough to not bother either fish and had no current, and in fact they really seemed to enjoy it. I fed them frozen bloodworms and gave dried brine shrimp as treats, and sometimes even regular tropical fish food as treats, too.

fish,
betta

Do you have any other bottom feeders in your tank or no? Catfish are my favorite. Check out my vids on my channel.

When I go to Pet Smart or Pet Co I never see Betta "THIS" beautiful. Where are you buying your fish at?

Just got my first betta fish today! .... Actually, I got two! One is Bright pink with purple spots, white face, and a red tail... (name=Jaws ). The other one is half midnight black with Royal blue the rest of his body and tail. He also has light blue and red hightlights on his tail. He looks fairly patriotic. (name=Caspian) I love my babies, they are both a pretty good size. Believe it or not, i actually got them at petsmart. :) They are both crowntail males. :P I talk a lot.

courtgo2000 - 11 years ago

They do, dont they! :) My friend just got a halfmoon albino with brown red, and other colors splotched in some places on her body. VERY PRETTY.

peachstar111 - 11 years ago

Very Nice Fish!!!!!!!!

Falconry - 12 years ago

@200smiley Some males just don't flare very much. Are conditioning them correctly (giving high protein food for 1-2 weeks before spawning)? Sometimes floating a female in the males tank will get the to flare, but some males just won't...

BluesardineZ - 12 years ago

Fantastic creatures you've got! I am a betta keeper myself and I take care of 12 adults and over 300 babies, but none of them got such brilliant color as yours do....May I know which country are they from? Mine adults are all from Thailand.

ron H - 12 years ago

beautiful Bettas healthy great job

Alexia's Shado - 12 years ago

@200smiley I really don't know. I'd recommend asking the breeders for your fish.

Aaron Fenda - 12 years ago

great a nice fish !!!!

wildtk123 - 12 years ago

Ss Cc - 13 years ago

Ss Cc - 13 years ago

AFlyingBeagle127 - 13 years ago

Salvadoravila - 13 years ago

how many gallons is it

Alexia's Shado - 13 years ago

@killkayla They don't want any current at all when making a bubble nest. Remove the filter and keep the tank in a quiet place in the company of his lady and hopefully he gets the idea.

Bethany Vara - 13 years ago

I am haveing trouble getting my male to build a bubble nest, i think it might be the temp or the current is to strong, i have a 5 gal takn w/ a 10 gal filter, what do you think?

ejohnson1234 - 14 years ago

I have a Betta - his belly is all swollen -- i tried giving him a pea; it's noit dropsy, scales are not popping out - he behaves normally but it looks like he swallowed a marble. Any suggestions? Thanx

maeglutz - 14 years ago

the one on the right is so prettyy.

shadow135222 - 14 years ago

mtstew69 - 14 years ago

Reinara - 14 years ago

@nintendorules100 You can so long as there's dividers seperating the bettas in the tank. :)

Αλε κρής - 14 years ago

WhereAreMyMarbles - 14 years ago

Beautiful fish, I love their coloring.

Lindsey Lane - 14 years ago

there we go! i will repsect your mother if she would talk to me the way you do. Anyways, the main thing was that i actually put her in a 5 gallon to see if she liked it more. Like, you never know if they want bigger spaces to live in or not ya know? I thank you again for being respectful.

Lindsey Lane - 14 years ago

Eyes4UOnly97, WHO are you to tell me that im the one that needs to tone down? I KNOW i am being annoying. I have read countless comments you have posted back to me on mine and your daughters videos that aren't very nice. I dont need a grown up telling me, a 14 year old, how annoying i am. Cause now i know that you, a grown up, is phased by my comments. Thank you for making my day. :)

Lindsey Lane - 14 years ago

hey! stop making people feel bad! remember that?

califaa12 - 14 years ago

bettas hermosos

AshleySWWinsor - 14 years ago

you can put only one male betta in tank with other fish as long as the other fish are established in the tank first. otherwise the male betta will think the whole tank is it's territory and might kill fish added afterward. female betta's are community fish but they also don't have the nice finnage the male's do or generally the coloration, though i did have a purple female betta once.

Thomas55Pham - 14 years ago

they dont neccecarely need a filter. they have an organ called labyrinth, wich allows them to breath air

Intro2Fit - 14 years ago

Yes. I'm thinking about purchasing a heater sometime this year. It's never cold here in Southern California, but I know what you mean.. It also depend on where you live too..

Intro2Fit - 14 years ago

Betta fish came from Cambodia and Thailand.. Well guess what, I'm Cambodian and my dad used to take care of betta in Cambodia, and he didn't need any filter or heater since that place is so damn hot.. But anyway, he just kept a betta fish in a Jar and clean the water atleast once a month, and that fish lasted 5 years.. I'm being real. i also am taking care of bettas right now, I don't have a heater but I do have a filter.. 4 bettas with dividers and a filter. They look happy. Hope they are.

rarity - 14 years ago

the one on the left of the screen looks like a female.

Humzah - 14 years ago

i havent got 2 bettas plus the 1 that i had just died yesterday

Humzah - 14 years ago

he does not have a problem with my platies anymore and he is starting to get along with the other ones, i have a 60 litre tank. thanks anyway

Humzah - 14 years ago

i have 2 red platies and 2 white fish and then 2 round ones

Humzah - 14 years ago

i have 1 exactly the same

Humzah - 14 years ago

my betta fish does not get along with my other fish, can anyone help ???

Jonathan Challinger - 14 years ago

No, no fish at all should be confined to a bowl, unless it's a big bowl and has a filter in it, such as a sponge filter. If you want a bowl, plant it and put shrimp in it.

Pandurs - 14 years ago

oh my, they are real beauties, especially your female, she's so adorable, and they both look so happy. ^^ i like the male too, but the female has such unique markings. the male has amazing colors as well. 5!

Kryhs - 15 years ago

He could just be getting caught on the plants. That's what happened to mine until I changed plastic for real plants.

skincareaddicted - 15 years ago

are the ripped fins from the mating process or does he have fin rot or are other fishes nipping him?

Alexia's Shado - 15 years ago

The divider is removable, so it can be one tank or divided.

Rosalie Giunta - 15 years ago

gorgeous male.

Alexia's Shado - 15 years ago

I don't remember what brand the tank was, but it was 2.5 gallons

bowiechaser - 15 years ago

Agreed. I think it's awesome that they're in a tank with a FILTER, though! Every Betta should be in a heated, filtered tank with real plants. :D

Alexia's Shado - 15 years ago

It came with the tank

Jason Barrows - 15 years ago

Madina M - 15 years ago

appleslinky - 16 years ago

Nadia Haidar - 16 years ago

very nice color i love your betta's

Sara S - 16 years ago

Absolutley beautiful! (putting two male bettas next to eachother reduces thier life span by and average of one year or more due to stress though....) =[

youngbrooklyn11220 - 16 years ago

thats a butterfly super delta tail OR maybe even a halfmoon but i doubt it, hard to tell because of the finnage loss. did he bite his tail did u fight him with another mail or did it get fin rot? looks like tailbiting to me still nice tho you s hould spawn him and get a softer pump for him and some live plants

Erin Roberts - 16 years ago

I LOVE the coloring of you Crowntail! (I think it's a crowntail anyway, it sure looks like one) May I ask where you got him?

miaangel247 - 16 years ago

yeah it sooo pretty, makes me want one even more=)

Alexia's Shado - 16 years ago

no. bloodworms are mosquito larvae, so only bloodworms and other beta food.

President Obama - 16 years ago

can you feed your betta earth worms ............i need a answer quick

yellowking - 16 years ago

beautiful betta...but is the tail alright...it looks like parasites are catching up to him...it happens a lot to mine betta also

Alexia's Shado - 16 years ago

I'd say not, because you have to closely monitor the pH, ammonia and other levels of the water, including temp. Harder than cats or dogs.

Cam Pepper - 16 years ago

when you put a male and female on opposite sides did they eventually chill out and stop trying to kill each other, i have the same rig but i have 2 females, and i was wondering if a male would ever calm down and not keep trying to eat of have sex with the female

Rajvinder Olikh - 16 years ago

preety i favourited this video

Mel W - 16 years ago

alphonse eric - 16 years ago

im from vietnam( well mostly vietnamese) .......bettas are very Very cheep there ...price of gold fish

rebafanatic16 - 16 years ago

What size is that tank? Just curious.

Alexia's Shado - 16 years ago

A neighbor ordered about a hundred fifty from vietnam and other places, from their native habitat, with the intent to breed them. He neglected them and I tried to help by cleaning their tanks and feeding them, but as soon as they went home, he neglected them again and they all died. I was devastated, and I'm still shocked.

yg klan - 16 years ago

you got a nice color betta... but u need to work on the tail...

lindamermaid - 16 years ago

That has got to be the prettiest betta I've ever seen.

Alexia's Shado - 16 years ago

I can tell you don't know much about bettas. One is called a male, and the other is a female. The males show off for females so they can mate. Mating perpetuates the species, not destroys it. They are what's called a "mating pair". It takes two, baby.

que preciosidad de pareja, que colorido, felicidades
