Miss Ultimatum - 7 years ago

Pretty sure min tank size for a beta is 5gal. Also his fins look so crunched.

Tony Kart Racer - 7 years ago

Oh, HUSH! That tank is fine for the betta..... plenty of room to roam.

Layna Grice - 7 years ago

I agree way to small

art_is_Life - 7 years ago

Not to be mean but you need at least a 2.5 gallon tank for Topaz and since he is in such a small tank, he had fin rot

felipe hernandez - 7 years ago

Yes

Spookan Chips - 7 years ago

It needs to be 2.5 gallon tanks or larger. Don't scrimp on the tank.

LPS518 - 7 years ago

The minimum is 2.5 gallons. Yes you said it is 1.7 gallons but with all the crap you have in there it is more like half a gallon. Your betta has fin rot and is nipping at his fins as you can see. No heater is made for tanks that small. You don't need to have a fish if you can't take care of it properly

I'm my opinion this betta his fine he has room to swim a filter and heater I would just get a different food the brand aqueon tetra an top fin food are known to cause Heath problems in bettas I recommend omega one bettas pellets there at petco and petsmart and is a very Heathy brand that's what I feed my bettas

Jorinthian G. - 8 years ago

Hey I'm getting a beta and I'm wondering if I put tap water in the tank, then , put conditioner or is it all conditioner?

Neko girl - 8 years ago

Jorinthian G. Just add conditioner to the water

CorgiPlush - 8 years ago

What type of tank do you use?

Madalee Owen - 8 years ago

i got a new fish today

Danielle - 8 years ago

It looks like he might have fin rot. Put freshwater aquarium salt in his tank. I use it for my Bala shark and 2 Pictus catfish. They don't have any health issues, it's just good to use for freshwater fish in general. My fish have been living for 3 years with no illnesses. Anyways just giving ya some tips. You have a cute setup and he's a pretty fish! :)

BraZZa BoYd - 8 years ago

Danielle he doesnt have fin rot this is a type of betta

Kirsten Nash - 8 years ago

Queencool45 AJ I know that it can work to treat fin rot, but betta fish are more sensitive to it than other fish and I've had better results treating fin rot with lots and lots of water changes than with the salt.

Queencool45 AJ - 8 years ago

Actually Kirsten aquarium salt is a natural remedy for fin rot. It only gets deadly is you use just a little too much. Salt kills the disease bacteria and will leave the tail to do the healing. Medication for fin rot is chemically dangerous because you can overdose the fish and it makes the water dirty.

Kirsten Nash - 8 years ago

Aquarium salt is really bad for betta. They're really sensitive to it and it can actually make it worse.

J Klimek - 8 years ago

Ok so I saw a lot of people talking about the tank size, which is to be expected. the truth about the size is really it should be 2.5 gallons or more. As for the food be consistent with it, most recommend morning 3 pellets and night 3. It may seem like a little amount but there stummach is really really small

Owen's Aquariums - 8 years ago

That's too small. Don't feed your fish just because "he looks hungry enough".

jjsinner - 7 years ago

Actually the bigger the better for any species of fish for their comfort, however the tank will just look empty and boring for the owner. So i suppose you have to compromise

BraZZa BoYd - 7 years ago

Owen's Aquariums i did buy a 2 foot ages ago but i gave it to my dad and he got me a 3 foot i have barbs, gouramis, silverSharks, and 2 rainbow ones i have 2 filters a 150 watt heater and 2 airstones i do have 2 bristle nose catfish aswell but they dont come out much

Owen's Aquariums - 7 years ago

itZ NinJaa Also, if you bought a 2 foot tank maybe you could buy some pretty dither fish and have some variety.

Owen's Aquariums - 7 years ago

Brandon Pan Exactly.

Brandon Pan - 7 years ago

itZ NinJaa He's not saying to buy a two foot tank. He is saying that it isn't hard or expensive to get a five to ten gallon tank, and if you don't care for your animal enough to do so, don't get that animal.

BraZZa BoYd - 8 years ago

Owen's Aquariums that tank is perfect for the betta you wouldnt buy a 2 ft tank just for one fish

Ally Koh - 8 years ago

your supposed to feed the estimated amount that can fit in its eye , their eye is around the size of their stomach . also , by suddenly changing the conditioner , your fish might suffer from water shock

Ashley Murray - 8 years ago

What size tank is this??

Russ Polk - 8 years ago

u should put some real plants in there it makes the hobby so much more fun.

Alan Fox - 8 years ago

Now I want a beta fish. They seem really cool.

Queencool45 AJ - 8 years ago

Some things you might hear are most likely myths. Watch the top 5 Betta Myths by a girl named Taylor and she gives you the facts of things that are false:)

Alan Fox - 8 years ago

We've been taught they live in little pools in the wild, and this is wrong.

Queencool45 AJ - 8 years ago

They are. But do TONS of research because they need tons of care. To help you as a start get a tank bigger then a 2.5 to give it some room. Get real plants or get fake plants that are not plastic so it won't rip their fins. They can't live with other fish or another Betta because they will kill eachother. They CAN live with some species of different fish but that's for a advanced owner (I have mine in a community tank) :) do research and heed the facts and necessities to keep your Betta fish happy to live longer

Alan Fox - 8 years ago

What are the yearly expenses?

The Classy Turtle it's not that bad really. tank size can be bigger but this is pretty decent compare to cups

Rebekah Jones - 8 years ago

Try getting the national geographic heater. It shuts off one it gets to a certain temperature.

Rebekah Jones - 8 years ago

Either your fish has tail rot or it nipping its fins. I work at PetSmart. Your Betta's tail is not healthy

BraZZa BoYd - 8 years ago

Rebekah Jones well i have bettas that have these fins and they are meant to look like this

Rebekah Jones - 8 years ago

The Ninja no it's not suppose to look like that lol I breed dumbos lol their tails are suppose to be rounded out at the ends not like that.

BraZZa BoYd - 8 years ago

Rebekah Jones this is a type of betta i have one of these and their fins are meant to look like this

psych780 - 8 years ago

Well she did say the old plastic plant that she used to have in the tank ripped his tail so now she has silk plants. That could be why it looks that way

Sre_ Rich - 8 years ago

you should atlest get 2.5 gallon

Kate Angelique Mavis - 8 years ago

Do you leave the filter on the whole day? Just wondering

Nayeli Cruz - 8 years ago

What kind of fish tank is best for a betta fish ?

SohiHien - 7 years ago

yes they do. Bettas are a tropical fish. They are native to thailand! They need temps around 76-80F constantly. Lower temps make them lethargic and more prone to illness

BraZZa BoYd - 8 years ago

Daisy Bear they dont need a heater

Nickyvideos - 8 years ago

2.5 gallons or more

Daisy Bear - 8 years ago

Anything thats 3+ gallons with a heater and decent filter is optimal

BraZZa BoYd - 8 years ago

Amber Hill lmao thats not true i have had mh goldfish since i was 3 years old in a 5 gallon tank im 14 now and they are still alive in the same tank

Amber Hill - 8 years ago

Goldfish organs never stop growing but their body and growth gets stunted causing them to slowly die so yet the goldfish seem happy they may only live for 6-8 years of that and their usually life span is 30 years in proper conditions :)

BraZZa BoYd - 8 years ago

Trina Portnerh you dont need a heater

Diane Galaz - 8 years ago

I know you posted this a while ago but this tank is soooo cute!! Too many people are saying 5 gallons is the minimum. Actually, 2.5 gal is minimum for an adult male, but the bigger the better. I have a 1 gallon tank and he's super happy in it. I will upgrade it soon enough though. What matters is that your fish is happy and healthy. Keep up the good care for your betta :)

AScoopofSprinkles - 8 years ago

It drives me crazy when people say you need a 5 gallon tank! Like you said, you don't! I also have a 1 gallon tank (super happy betta) but I am upgrading him to a 3 gallon tank soon!

StarsomeGirl - 8 years ago

Is it really necessary to have a heater? I've read that it can actually be bad for them....I wasn't sure. I just got mine and was under the misconception that they are supposed to be in a small tank (the 1/2 gallon at the store said "ideal for bettas") so that's what I got and I have it divided with my two bettas right now. Don't worry, it's just for a few days. I bought a 10 gallon tank, which I'm gonna divide in half, and separate them. So, it'll be like 5 gallons for each of them. I also bought a couple of silicone plants. I eventually wanna get something better for them to hide in....but everything is adding up and costing a lot! I didn't realize betta fish were so delicate and I've had to pay extra to get betta safe stuff. Even some of the silk plants cut the fins of bettas (I read the reviews before buying anything). Anyways, just trying to do everything right. I want my fish to live a long time!

StarsomeGirl - 8 years ago

I've had them in the tank for hours now and it seems to be doing great...keeping the water at the right temperature (: But I'll definitely be keeping an eye on it.

terry bryant - 8 years ago

Thats good just make sure your betta is doing fine with the heater you always return it if you need to and get another one to fid what works with your betta

StarsomeGirl - 8 years ago

Thanks (: I ordered a heater for it and gonna get the tank all set up tomorrow because I FINALLY have everything I need for it.

terry bryant - 8 years ago

Well some heaters are bad but unless your tank is 76-82 your betta might get sick

Akr Lar - 8 years ago

too small for poor fish. noone want change with this fish.

Luna harmony 1987 - 8 years ago

That's a cute betta fish! IDK Y I watched this but some people don't care for betta fish properly and glad that u did! People keep the fish in small bowls (.5 gallon bowls/"tanks") I bought those small .5 or 1 gallon tank that I'd only use when I would do 90-100% water change!

Queencool45 AJ - 8 years ago

I have a good idea. To give him a bigger tank do a cheap large tank. Get a plastic clear container (those tub thingies) and use it as a tank. Then at a Dollar Store but a lei and get straws to to make your own silk plants. You can make your own filter using a water bottle, air pump, gravel, and a brand new unused plastic wool sponge. Create it (find a how to video) and then make silk plants using the flowers of the lei and straws. Then buy a heater for the dollar store tank. It can cost less then $20 and it is way better then getting a tiny tank for the same price. This cheap tank idea is from a video I watched :)

Luna harmony 1987 - 8 years ago

But I have a 1.5 gallon tank with heater and filter that I will use for my betta fish that I will get soon!

Diane Galaz - 8 years ago

Betta fish range from like... $2 to $10 I believe. I cold be wrong. But I got my adult male veil tail for $4. Pricing typically depends on age and tail type :)

1. Might be fin rot. Or maybe stress fun nipping.
2. Yes, water conditioner is recommended. Even for distilled water. It gets rid of bad bacteria in the water.
3. Yes, you can find betta beds at petsmart or even on Amazon. On Amazon it's pretty cheap.
4. It is a dumbo (elephant ear)

I'm to wait 24 hrs of the tank running before putting Bettas in but is there a way of me knowing if it's still not conditioned?

Alan Surgeoner - 8 years ago

Ikeep my Betta in a 16litre tank with a little neon tetra who has no tail. I took him from my main tank when he had a white spot at his tail> I know it was not Ich and thought it was neon tetra disease( a parasite that seems to only affect tetras -mainly neons) I kept him in a little container with a dose of methylene blue every couple of days when I changed the water. I didn't hold out much hope for the little guy and actually thought about putting him to sleep,but I am so glad I didn't because as time went on the little guy kept going and going. he wouldn't eat for over a week unless he nibbled when I didn't see, but after 6 weeks he was still going so I put him with some other neons and a couple of zebra danio's but they kept chasing him ,so I put him in a bag and floated him in the betta tank. Once I was sure he would not nip at the neon I let him loose. He can't swim the best but he manages to get around and has been in the betta tank for a couple of months now with no drama. I learned a great lesson all over again and that is when keeping fish -Be Patient. things don't always just happen overnight in the fiahworld.

kiina91 - 8 years ago

Okay how do i say it.
10 or 20g are waaaay too small for any goldfish.
The absolute minimum size for a betta tank, including Baby bettas, is 2,5g, a 5g tank would be better.
your filter is too strong for the fish, you should baffle it.
and last but not least: your betta is either biting his fins or having Fin rot. You should add indian almond leaves to prevent any further infection and do water changes of about 80% atleast every 3 days for the same reason and to prevent too much ammonia and nitrite building up in that small plastic box.
Good luck with him :)

Kizzie Tunson - 8 years ago

Top Fin makes a betta fish thermostat heater that has a preset temperature for bettas. Item: 36-5230341 at Petsmart. It says good for tanks up to 2.5 gallon, but works fine in my 3 gallon one.

Terhi Kesela - 8 years ago

That tank is so small! Here in Finland they wont sell you a tank smaller than 10 gallons for a Betta fish, because any smaller is just cruel!

L - 8 years ago

Awesome video! You should really try to upgrade to a 3 gallon at least :) if not, at least remove some of the things in your tank because your betta should be able to swim in a straight line without crashing into anything and your tank seems kind of crowded. Good luck! Xx

gmlasam - 8 years ago

Do you turn off the filter when you feed him?

StephMullyy - 8 years ago

+gmlasam fair enough.

gmlasam - 8 years ago

The filter on the video is similar to mine, and with it on, my betta would often have to chase the flakes down to the bottom. Turning the filter off, allows him to feed at the surface better and reducesl wasted food at the bottom.

StephMullyy - 8 years ago

Depends on the filter but the one in the video is a marina i25? I think literally no flow as bettas like low currents the food should stay on the surface that's if it stays there long bettas a re piggies haha x

gmlasam - 8 years ago

With the filter on, all the food from the surface of the water will sink down and most of it will be at the bottom uneaten .

StephMullyy - 8 years ago

why would you turn off the filter? xx

no i meant the filtration should be doing more than the ammount of water

Queencool45 AJ - 8 years ago

+itZ NinJaa I know, I do make sure it wont go into the water so much

BraZZa BoYd - 8 years ago

Queencool45 AJ the filter should always be higher then the tank

Queencool45 AJ - 8 years ago

The Betta seems fine in it (filter current too high though). Some Bettas do feel nice in a 2.5 gallon tank but most of then like their space. Mine lives in a 10 Gallon tank with 4 Neon Tetras and he is playful. He going in circles around his Betta hammock and plays "hide and seek" with me in his plants. Just because one Betta doesn't like a lot of space means that all of them are like that :) personalities are in them and they very in all of them.

Macho Nacho - 8 years ago

A Bettas minimum is 2.5 gallons and just because they can live in small cups doesn't mean they should. When you see the fish in the cups they look sickly and dead, there's a reason they shouldn't be kept in small spaces. Less that 2.5 tanks could lead to fin biting, a result of stress. Please take care of your fish. Just because it looks like there's enough space, doesn't mean there is. Also, weekly water changes.

hanzifaction - 9 years ago

I'd say nothing smaller than a 10 gallon for any fish species. The volume of water is just so small, the chemistry and water temperature fluctuate like crazy. Maybe you should invest in a heater that you can adjust the temperature with. Probably don't make it for that tiny ass cup you keep the fish in.

Tank is way too small for your betta. 5 gallons should be bare minimum. That heater will cook your fish in that small tank

J Klimek - 8 years ago

Actually 2.5 is the limit for your fish friend. Nothing smaller.

terry bryant - 8 years ago

Its a sorta correct rule it works quite well with small fish such as the betta or neon tetra but for bigger fish it stops working.

StephMullyy - 8 years ago

+ibuprofanity but if people dont have the space, sadly they shouldnt get them :(

ibuprofanity - 9 years ago

They say the optimum tank for any fish is 1 gallon per inch. Betta's grow as big as 3-4 inches. So 5 is great, but not everyone has space for them.

I RCade - 9 years ago

It's interesting because bettas like water temp around 85 degrees. the thermometer in the tank is for tetras. I learned that too :p

Hannah Sibbach - 9 years ago

I had the same issue with small heaters. I would have to unplug them if the water got too warm, but I finally found a small heater that comes on and goes off automatically, keeping the temperature at a constant 76 degrees. I found this 10 watt heater at petsmart.com. It is by Grreat Choice and it says it is for 1 gallon aquariums, but it works fine for my 1.5 gallon betta bowl. It also comes in blue or purple instead of black which is nice.

Julie Boyko - 9 years ago

hello, you didn't mention how often you do partial water changes which are important to be done frequently on a small tank. might be why is fins are tattered. even with the filter I would do at least a30% water change every 4 to 5 days. learned from experience I have 9 tanks. a bit much to clean all the time but I do.

Karin Hitora - 9 years ago

I love your tank setup, as it definitely is aesthetically pleasing to the eye. However, it appears your betta's fins are tattered. You may want to check for signs of fin rot (the edges are black and receeding, holes in the fins, etc.). If he doesn't have fin rot, I suggest taking some of the clutter out of yoir tank to provide him with more room to swim, as they do enjoy swimming in wider areas. Wal-Mart carries nice 5 gallong tanks (suggested minimum for bettas) for $30.

ReviewCam - 9 years ago

+Kayla Freckleton It's 1.77 gallons, and it comes with an Elite mini filter. The heater is Aqueon. Petsmart sells these kits for around $20. Heater/decorations are separate.

Winterdock - 9 years ago

2.5 gallons is the minimum tank size to keep a betta happy
Pristene water conditions , 76 to 82 degree F temperature and a gentle flowing but effective filter . No tankmates in a tank that size!
But lots of human attention
The betta will quickly learn to trust it's caretaker and provide hours of enjoyment for both pet and fishkeeper

Cookie Dodger - 9 years ago

To be honest, I'd rather like to see betta fish in at least a 5 gallon. But you are correct for goldfish their stocking rate is 10 gallons per fancy goldfish and an extra 10 gallons to account for the space of decorations, bacteria to form, gravel and fish waste. Comet Goldfish shouldn't be put in tanks. I speak from experience, I learned the hard way. =)

Cookie Dodger - 9 years ago

+Lily Prescott Good to know you are upgrading!

Starry Skies Animations - 9 years ago

oh,i know.I am hoping to upgrade to a 20 gallon soon. My Fish Is fine tho. it is under an inch(excluding tail) Healthy too.

Cookie Dodger - 9 years ago

+Lily Prescott It may seem like that now, but your goldfish will be stunned. They need atleast 10 gallons per fish with 10 gallons extra for tank decorations and stuff. They will outgrow your tank very quickly and considering they like to be with other fish...

If your goldfish is a fancy goldfish anyway. If he is a comet goldfish, I suggest you put him in a pond (if you have one) or return him or upgrade to a HUGE fish tank.

Evyn DeLong - 9 years ago

You are feeding him way too much!!!!!

Cookie Dodger - 9 years ago

+Katie Films Stuff Bettas will eat anything. They are terrotorial which is partly why i dislike the saying "I feed him when he looks hungry".

Cookie Dodger - 9 years ago

+Katie Films Stuff To be honest not really. Betta fish in the wild are used to catching small stuff around twice a day. Betta fish are quite small fish and around 2 - 3 pellets a day is better. I would also reccomend feeding him atleast 2 or 3 different types of food. Maybe Pellets every other day and Flakes the rest, they are fine with eating tropical fish food flakes. Overfeeding can result to bloat or swim bladder disease. Theres really no point feeding him at night. Every friday I would feed him live food or tetra dried bloodworms just to mimic natural habitat.

One other thing is you might want to fast him a bit for a day just for his intestinal track to become "clean". Same with most tropical fish, just not reccomended for coldwater goldfish and it passes right through them.
I would also give them atleast a five gallon.

Also, I agree that you need a filter but that doesn't always make up for water changes. In any type of betta habitat I would reccomend 25% water change every week or 50% two weeks. Just try not more than 50% as that could get rid of nitrosomonas and nitrobacter which are very useful.

But your betta is beautiful! Topaz is seriously cool! Hope he lives well! =)

Katie Films Stuff - 9 years ago
