Love this channel but where is the filter?

Lifewithpets - 6 years ago

Thanks!

Ryan Dryer - 6 years ago

Oh ol good to know I absolutely love your videos though keep it up!

Lifewithpets - 6 years ago

All the tanks have filters now. Back then I was doing water changes every 2-3 days which was a lot of work! Things have changed a lot since this video.

Mizuko Aimi - 7 years ago

Hi lifeiwthpets! I wanna ask something about my betta ... He started began pooping to much .. Is there a problem with that or its natural? Thanks!

Nate21 - 7 years ago

Thank You so MUCH!! I’m getting a Betta soon. Keep it up!

Sarah Christensen - 7 years ago

Mine is from petco and I think he has some health issues because he has trouble getting his food and I think it'll help if I save up for a bigger tank for him

Sarah Christensen - 7 years ago

What is the best tank size for a male beta

Lifewithpets - 7 years ago

10 gallons would be my preference.

Hapezibah Skacy - 7 years ago

Ahh I spoil my betta. I chop up the frozen blood worms or brime shrimp into small pieces. Just toss the tiny pieces in every few days. Trying to find a good feeding schedule. I did 2 days of feeding and skipped a day, since it's colder. It's 1 day feed and skip and feed. He is food aggressive with his pal rope fish in a 20 gallon tank. He's very active for food too.
He hates dried blood worms or pellets. I ruined him!! He spits them right out. Fyi they dont have names because once i name them they usually die.

J Geissenberg - 7 years ago

I feed my betta two dried bloodworms in the morning and three soaked pellets in teh evening. do you think that is ok as an permanent diet? he doesnt like frozen food

Valerie Thomas - 7 years ago

I have the same question

Cuttlepluff - 7 years ago

What's your opinion on flakes versus frozen? I keep hearing bloodworms are supposed to only be treated like treats, but my flakes and even best pellets all have ingredients that aren't natural to a predator's diet yet claim to be the best thing. Conversely, people say frozen comes with bacterial risks from parasites surviving the freezing process. What's the best option?

Lifewithpets - 7 years ago

I don't use flakes at all for any of my fish. I'm not saying there is anything wrong with flakes but personally I prefer frozen foods, pellet and gel foods. I can't say there are no risks in using frozen foods but I've been using it for over 15 years and never once had a problem. I prefer hikari brand but that's not to say other brands are not ok too.

Anne Gordo - 7 years ago

Where did you get the little glass bowl with the moss ball in it? It appeared like towards the end of the video?

Lifewithpets - 7 years ago

Dollar tree.

william allan 199 - 7 years ago

my betta only interested in insects, when I give him pellets he just does not care, any suggestion so he can eat pellets?

william allan 199 - 7 years ago

Lifewithpets I just put it right away, should I make it wet first then put it in or dry it with sun?

Lifewithpets - 7 years ago

Have you tried soaking them before giving them to him?

FinalScore- - 7 years ago

Aha I was the 1k liker

Family Cyr - 7 years ago

i feed my bettas 2 pellets in the morning and 2 at night

miasworld1865 gaming - 7 years ago

can i feed my baby betta pellets? like one or two pellets and do i have to cut them up into small pieces or make them soft?

Lifewithpets - 7 years ago

Yes you can either crush them or soak them for a few minutes.

miasworld1865 gaming - 7 years ago

my betta is like two months old i think idk but idk how much to feed it if I'm using pellets

sasi rooban - 7 years ago

1 to 2 worms nahh nt enough minr eat half a cube n stil wanting it

StylesClash - 7 years ago

Do Betta fishes need filters ?

Lifewithpets - 7 years ago

Yes, unless you’re willing to do 80-100% water changes every 2-3 days. Not having a filter requires commitment and a lot of work.

Horse Luv - 7 years ago

Is it bad that my one betta does NOT eat blood worms for the life of me

Lifewithpets - 7 years ago

No, try brine shrimp instead.

paradox Bloom - 7 years ago

Hi I know I'm just an insignificant human beings to you but I want to say hi from London and that I'm a huge fan of your channel I love Betta fish I have free if you check my videos I keep German high quality I'm not putting them in my empty tank because they'll hurt each other even though it's two males and a male one female call the blood Rose she's very aggressive she's also my mascot she's extremely playful too she loves chasing my finger

Kerry Mccarthy - 7 years ago

Ive heard that feeding Bettas only every other day prolongs their life. Is this true?

Lexy Rose - 7 years ago

Hello, I just got a betta fish and he's in a 5 gallon tank, I want to feed him frozen blood worms; but may I ask how many do you feed them and how much a week? Is it safe to feed him bloodworms everyday for food instead of pellets or is it dangerous? Please respond ASAP

Kurimu Neko - 7 years ago

It's completely fine, its what they eat in the wild.

20. comment for Feeding My Betta Fish

Pat Casaletto - 7 years ago

I'm confused because the rule of thumb is an amount of pellets they can eat in under 3 minutes.. But bettas can eat up to 5 pellets a min! If I feed 3x a day, how many pellets should I feed each time (they're the REALLY tiny ones, like as small as sand grains)

Pat Casaletto - 7 years ago

yeah, that's roughly what I've been doing since I've had him a few months. Thanks!

Pat Casaletto - 7 years ago

The pellets are tiny obviously, regular sized betta

tyler hull - 7 years ago

I have a question about the betta in the thumbnail I have a beta that looks just like it in when I flare it it gets too gold lines a crossed it's face does yours?

Omar Mohammad Al Janaideh - 7 years ago

How many fish can you put in a 5.5 gallon l have 4 fish ?

Lifewithpets - 7 years ago

I wouldn't put anything other than a Betta and maybe a few snails. There are some nano species of fish that could possibly go in there but it's still not a lot of room.

USE YOUR GLUTES - 7 years ago

I feed natural flakes, sometimes pellets, and bloodworms once or twice a day. Is this to much?

Jayla White - 7 years ago

USE YOUR GLUTES I think depending on the amount of each one like maybe one pellet (or two) then just a little of the othets

Cancer cells - 7 years ago

How often should i give them bloodworms

Lifewithpets - 7 years ago

We do them 2-3 times a week.

Nisi - 7 years ago

Thank you for sharing, it was very informative! I like the tweezer recommendation, I'll have to buy a set for my betta tank.

Lifewithpets - 7 years ago

Thank you. I feed all the tanks with tweezers.

iamSketchH - 7 years ago

Hmm...My fish wouldn't eat anything except the pellets--and if it touched the ground, he wouldn't touch it. How do you encourage a picky eater to try new things?

Lifewithpets - 7 years ago

I just keep feeding it, eventually they will realize it's food.

Shraddha Hudale - 7 years ago

can they survive only on pellets?

Lifewithpets - 7 years ago

They can, but it's always better to vary their diet it's healthier for them.

lol ll - 7 years ago

who is we

Lifewithpets - 7 years ago

Thanks. Lol....no a lot of people do because of the voice!

Lifewithpets - 7 years ago

Our channel is done by me, my husband and son.

Deanahhh - 7 years ago

what is the size of this tank please?

Deanahhh - 7 years ago

Lifewithpets The one featured in this video :) when you feed the pellets to your betta :)

Lifewithpets - 7 years ago

Which tank?

30. comment for Feeding My Betta Fish

Skrillex Afro - 7 years ago

i have fighter fish

Hannah Williams - 7 years ago

When I first fed my Betta pellets I had no idea I needed to soak them and he got gas buildup and it was hard for him to eat. He's good now but super impatient

Lifewithpets - 7 years ago

Thank you. Mine love brine shrimp too!

D XL - 7 years ago

Is my betta fish ok? because whenever i will feed him and put my hand near the top of the tank he keeps on jumping. but he seems so active when eating and looks always excited.

Uteopia - 7 years ago

He is trying to high five you.

Lifewithpets - 7 years ago

Betta fish love to jump.

z Gao - 7 years ago

I just bought a new Betta. I am just frustrated about how much frozen bloodworm or brine shrimp to feed a betta. Cause I get the cubic frozen food. Hope to hear reply from you and thanks for answering.

Lifewithpets - 7 years ago

We cut the cubes up when still frozen. For one Betta you'd only need a fairly small amount. Bloodworms maybe 2-4 depending on the size of your betta.

Tiger Boss11 - 7 years ago

My betta lives with live bears rainbow fish and a peacock eel

Mrx Famous - 7 years ago

Is the mosquito larva is good food to betta fish?

Cuttlepluff - 7 years ago

But if your betta's tank is stagnant...

Phoebe Sulistio - 7 years ago

Lol, life in a tropical country, just leave the tank open (with enough depth that the betta won't jump out) and the mosquitoes will lay eggs on the stagnant water, free food!

Lifewithpets - 7 years ago

Yes.

BunniesAndBubbles - 7 years ago

Can I substitute the frozen bloodworms for dried?

Lifewithpets - 7 years ago

Yes, but you can't feed them as often as frozen bloodworms. Dried foods tend to cause bloating if given too often.

xEndiePearlx - 7 years ago

I feed my betta color enhancer flakes is that ok?

Lifewithpets - 7 years ago

Flakes are ok but pellets and a varied diet would be better.

the_big_bang_artist 25 - 7 years ago

OK so I live in riverside and it dies get hot so we mostly turn on the air in the summer so should I get a heater or not cause I dont want the temperature of the water to drop

the_big_bang_artist 25 - 7 years ago

Lifewithpets well the hottest it gets in here is closest to the 80s but again we do turn on the air so I should still get a heater

Lifewithpets - 7 years ago

If the temperature doesn't stay consistent then you'd need a heater. Our house temperature is always at 78f so there are no fluctuations.

Cheese's Hot Sister - 7 years ago

I have an adult male betta btw:
So I would give him 2 pellets in the morning
2 bloodworms
And then 2 pellets in the evening
Is this right?

Lifewithpets - 7 years ago

We feed twice a day. So if we were feeding pellets and bloodworms in the same day, I'd do 2-3 pellets in the morning and 2-3 bloodworms in the evening. We have a much more recent video on our channel on feeding our bettas if you want to check it out.

My Vuong - 7 years ago

What are you feeding the male betta I don't get it because the red male you feed him something that I don't know how to say it :P and the other male you feed it blood worm

Lifewithpets - 7 years ago

They're Betta fish pellets.

My Vuong - 7 years ago

I wish I could have at less a 5g tank for my poor betta in a 1.2g right now I wish I could buy a 5g on my birthday

tecto12 - 7 years ago

Please make a feeding video ! All your fish. :)

I ran - 7 years ago

i love watching pets eating food. that betta looks enjoyed by that worm.
num num :)

NE0327able - 7 years ago

how do u make sure all five bettas in the same tank are equally fed?

GamingTommy 68 - 7 years ago

Thank you sooooooooo much for this video, I was stuck, btw how big would you expect a male half moon to get?

Beans4lyfeboi - 7 years ago

Should i cut off small chunks of frozen food cubes or can I refreeze the leftovers? One cube is too big and I hate to waste food.

Lifewithpets - 7 years ago

Yes, you can cut small chunks off a cube. Don't let it thaw and refreeze though.

Andy Rosales - 7 years ago

I have Mystery snails in with my betta and I feed them homemade gel food with tuna and collard greens but my betta keeps eating it! Is this okay or should I keep him away from it?

Lifewithpets - 7 years ago

It's fine, the tuna will be attracting them. As long as they're not overeating then you should have no problems.

Anoop Hawoldar - 7 years ago

please help... when i place my female betta with the male it has vertical strips and latet about 4 hours it got horizontal strips. what should i do???

Lifewithpets - 7 years ago

Male and females can't live together unless you plan on breeding them and even then they can only be together while they breed. The horizontal strips mean she's stressed and the vertical mean she's ready to breed.

A G - 7 years ago

Your betta looks just like mine (he's red and I named him El-Moe)! I have freeze dried bloodworms but mine doesn't seem to like them, maybe he'd like the frozen stuff better..hmm.

Seraphim Septimus - 7 years ago

Freeze-dried food isn't very good for bettas - most I ask consider it one of the worst - but frozen is very good. Live is the best, though.

Lifewithpets - 7 years ago

I have a new video out tomorrow on feeding bettas!

Rebecca Garrow - 7 years ago

Thanks for making this video I have had my Betta for almost a year and I have only been feeding him Pelots but now I know that you should feed them bloodworms and shrimp too

Rebecca Garrow - 7 years ago

Lifewithpets ok good

Lifewithpets - 7 years ago

Thank you. My video that will be up next Tuesday is all about feeding bettas, it is an updated version of this video.

It's A&A - 7 years ago

Our Betta fish Duke was a rescue crown tail male from Walmart. When we bought him he had extremely dirty water, and a serious case of swim bladder. He would lay sideways at the top of the tank, then suddenly swim around frazzled only to stop and float on his side. He also looked very bloated. We didn't feed him for 3 days, he didn't eat the pea that was suggested to feed when treating for swim bladder. We started to feed him 2 pellets every day in fear of getting swim bladder again. He is not a huge fish, but I'm not sure that this is enough for his diet. We also give him blood worms 1-2 times a week. If you think we should feed him more, how should I step up his diet with out bloating/causing him to get swim bladder again? Thank you.

It's A&A - 7 years ago

Lifewithpets Okay, thank you so much!!

Lifewithpets - 7 years ago

My video uploading on Tuesday is all about feeding bettas. I'd suggest feeding twice a day. I'd feed more frozen bloodworm, daphnia, and brine shrimp 3-4 times a week. The frozen food can be found at Petsmart or Petco assuming you're in the USA. When feeding solely processed dried food it does tend to cause bloat more often. Also having them flare several times a day will help them produce waste and avoid getting bloated.

It's A&A - 7 years ago

Lifewithpets Once a day. They are freeze dried, I couldn't find frozen.

Lifewithpets - 7 years ago

Do you feed 2 pellets once or twice a day? Are the bloodworms freeze dried or frozen?

Dhirgham Abiyyu Ekaputra - 7 years ago

Great betta :) I always feed my betta with live food like mosquito larvae, tubifex, Daphnia magna, moina, or bloodworm. I rarely feed them with pellets because my betta isn't appetite for eating. However, live food has so much function to the betta. sometimes I mix the live food with spirulina to get more colorful and strong fin :)

Dhirgham Abiyyu Ekaputra - 7 years ago

Lifewithpets yup, but pellet have more complete nutrition because it contain so many nutrition. Btw nice video, keep upload the video guys :)

Lifewithpets - 7 years ago

Yes, live foods are definitely the best and since this video we feed more live foods more often and have seen a difference in the bettas. Thanks for watching.

TC Films - 7 years ago

Nice video! I would love to see more videos on you feeding all of your pets? Or more likely your fish. Thanks!

tobeconfirmed - 7 years ago

I got a betta fish a couple days ago. She is very timid and shy. She swims away and hides when she hears the top of the tank open and is equally as afraid of my arm when i reach over the tank to feed her. I have never experienced this with my past fish. they were all excited to get fed from day one. Does anyone know how to get her to not be so scared of every little noise?

Lifewithpets - 7 years ago

Just give her time. Sometimes it can take up to a week for them to adjust,

Megan Em - 7 years ago

My dumbo ear betta somehow lost the bottom half of his pectoral fin! There is nothing sharp in the tank i have no idea how it happened :( Any tips for healing fins?

Lifewithpets - 7 years ago

I'm sorry to hear that. Keeping the water really clean is the best thing you can do. You can also add a little aquarium salt to promote healing.

Wendy Wirawan - 7 years ago

You have pretty and energetic betta fishes :)

HOSChrisAndrew - 7 years ago

Hey I have a betta who is about 5 months old and he is white in color. After a week since I got him I noticed that his tail and other areas are changing to blue. Is that normal? Thanks!

HOSChrisAndrew - 7 years ago

Lifewithpets thanks

Lifewithpets - 7 years ago

Yes. I have several that are changing color all the time.

HOSChrisAndrew - 7 years ago

Lifewithpets oh thank you! So that's totally normal?

Lifewithpets - 7 years ago

Yes, it sounds like you have a betta that has the marbling gene which means it will change color.

Random User - 7 years ago

Noob questions:
I am supposed to soak the food with some of the tank's water right?
Do Betta Fish need airstones? Or are they OK like that?
Where is your heater at? Or do you always keep your room at the right temperature?

yamaha is daaa best - 7 years ago

Random User bettas dont need airstones, but they do need a filter:]

Lifewithpets - 7 years ago

Lol....thanks for watching! Yes I soak the food in aquarium water. They don't need air stones but it is better to have water surface movement, however your filter will probably do that. Our temperature is 78/79f.

Random User - 7 years ago

Lol. Red the description after posting the comment.

thegreengamer 83 - 7 years ago

that last beta fish that has a red head and a blue body with white fins looks like a copy of my beta, who's name is frisk! is he a half-moon dumbo? because frisk is!

thegreengamer 83 - 7 years ago

THAT EXPLAINS IT! he look exactly like mine!

Lifewithpets - 7 years ago

Yes, he's a halfmoon dumbo Betta.

GOGO jurassic - 8 years ago

your content is amazing and keep it up but can u make the vids longer please

GOGO jurassic - 7 years ago

Lifewithpets - 7 years ago

Thank you. We got him from Petsmart.

GOGO jurassic - 7 years ago

Your welcome and your dumbo beta is beautiful where did u get him/her

Lifewithpets - 7 years ago

Thank you. Our later videos are a little longer. It's something we're working on, they just take so long to make. Thanks for the feedback.

raquel lazaro - 8 years ago

is it normal that my betta cant eat the pellets

Jay Mayu - 7 years ago

my betta didn't accept it initially but gradually he started to accept it. Try to give bloodworm once or twice a week as treat.

catpaws - 7 years ago

raquel lazaro yeah, try to break it into smaller pieces.

Ava S - 8 years ago

Hi I love your channel I have one question I have a 20 gallon fish tank 2 snails and 3 platys and 2 Algae eaters and one male betta can I put him in the tank with them? Thanks!

Lifewithpets - 8 years ago

Yes, it should work. It all depends on how aggressive your betta is but the tank is large enough and has plenty of room for him so I would try. Be sure to watch him closely with the other fish for a few days.

The Animal Report - 8 years ago

I feed my Betta pellets and blood worms. I randomly choose what my Betta gets each day. I feed her 2 times a day. Is it considered under feeding if I only give 1 pellet/blood worm 2 times a day?

Lifewithpets - 8 years ago

I would say 1 pellet is not enough unless your betta is very small.

Vinay J - 8 years ago

A very useful video

Lifewithpets - 8 years ago

Thank you!

Julia C - 8 years ago

I have 6 bettas. I truly care very much about all of them. Is it best to soak pellets before giving it to the fish?

Lifewithpets - 8 years ago

I think overall it is better, it softens the foods and also expands it to its true size. However If you don't do it I don't think it will harm your fish in any way.

J Geissenberg - 8 years ago

beautiful red betta!

Erica Loet - 8 years ago

Hi there i just wanted to know where did you guys happen to get the frozen food at?

Lifewithpets - 8 years ago

We get it from Petsmart.

FintasticFish - 8 years ago

Lifewithpets i heard they changed the new life spectrum food and made them bigger. Do you still use new life spectrum? Are they too big for you're bettas?

Lifewithpets - 8 years ago

You could always grind them up too. I had two bettas from Thailand that wouldn't eat when they came. They didn't like the pellets so I ground them up and they loved them. I have a few smaller bettas and I grind them up for them too.

Lifewithpets - 8 years ago

I'll have to look into this, thanks for letting me know. The alternative food would be Omega one Betta buffet pellets, they've got good ingredients too. In fact they're quite similar.

FintasticFish - 8 years ago

Lifewithpets alright thanks for the fast response. I'm debating on getting them for my first betta as I've read reviews on the NLS pellets being too big

Lifewithpets - 8 years ago

I do still use it but haven't bought any in the last few months, so I can't say if it's changed or not.

Purrfect Pusheen Cat - 8 years ago

Is pellet enough for bettas???? By the way I like your betta

Purrfect Pusheen Cat - 8 years ago

Lifewithpets Thanks

Lifewithpets - 8 years ago

Thank you, ideally it is better to give them a varied diet.

Kuro Kitsune - 8 years ago

why doesnt the betta in the first tank have a heater or filter? this vid is nearly 5 months old so things may have changed but bettas need heat as their tropical fish and filtration is good for them to

Lifewithpets - 8 years ago

All the tanks now have sponge filters or internal canister filters. We don't use heaters as explained in a lot of our videos because where We live is very hot so the tanks are a constant 79f without a heater. For about 2 -3 months of the year we add heaters to the tanks when it gets a little cooler.

Cedric Wilson - 8 years ago

im going to buy today a 5 or 10 gallon tank do they need filter

Cedric Wilson - 8 years ago

+Lifewithpets can i ask you a question its that my betta tails inthe front and the tail they are black and i saw like a piece of it at the bottom of the tank can you please help me

Lifewithpets - 8 years ago

Yes definitely for that size tank. If you don't get a filter you need to do 80-100% water changes every 3-4 days. That's a lot of work!

Cedric Wilson - 8 years ago

how many gallons is your tank

Lifewithpets - 8 years ago

I have several tanks ranging from 2.5 gallons up to 55 gallons.

Tasha Covrrubias - 8 years ago

I have a Betta Fish - and I use the nutritional blood worm for the snack and regular Betta food for the morning and night -❤️❤️I have a second one too

كيف ؟ - 8 years ago

arent there oxygen pumps and filters in the aquarium?

Lifewithpets - 8 years ago

We have filters in all the tanks and don't need airstones. On the smaller tanks I prefer to do 40-50% as we have snails in the tanks too. This keeps the water quality pristine to keep the bettas very healthy. The larger tanks I do 20-30% and the Goldfish tank we do 60% every 4-5 days.

كيف ؟ - 8 years ago

Ive researched that many do max 20% water change... do you do yours 50% because you lack the filters and oxygen pump?

Lifewithpets - 8 years ago

We have several different size tanks the minimum being a 2.5 gallon. We water change 40-50% once a week. We haven't bred any bettas so no videos.

كيف ؟ - 8 years ago

Nicee! How often you change the water? And what is the size of the tank? And is there a video on mating beta fish

Lifewithpets - 8 years ago

Not in the first tank but there are filters in all the other tanks. We were just in the process of adding filters to all the tanks when this was filmed. All our tanks now have filters.

Kenneth Reyes - 8 years ago

I feed mine omega plus, new life spectrum, and frozen(thaw outt) blood worms.

Lifewithpets - 8 years ago

Nice variety

Lori D. - 8 years ago

I feed my 4 bettas only pellets because I have heard that the live food can give the betta an infection. How can I handle that?

Lori D. - 8 years ago

Ok. I will get the food. Thanks!

Lifewithpets - 8 years ago

Yes, I get my frozen food from Petsmart. I let it thaw then rinse it off before giving it to my fish.

Lori D. - 8 years ago

Is Petsmart freezer food OK or do i need special online food?

Lifewithpets - 8 years ago

It is possible for live food to carry bacteria but as long as it's rinsed before giving it to the Betta it shouldn't be a problem. I've been feeding frozen food for many years and never had a problem.

Your name is wierd

Minty Tv - 8 years ago

he doesn"t eat at all

Lifewithpets - 8 years ago

Do you have a filter? 36???? That's 96f which is way too hot for a Betta. It's difficult to know what is wrong but if that temperature is right that could have a lot to do with it. Add an air stone and do 50% water changes every day for a week. If you have no filter you should be doing 80-100% water changes every 3-4 days. If you have a filter 40-50% once a week. Try soaking the pellets in garlic juice for one minute before feeding them to him. Does he hang at the surface of the water?

Minty Tv - 8 years ago

no rots , 3gallon its not heated but is over 36 degrees here i o water changes once a week
and he has been this way since i got him

Lifewithpets - 8 years ago

Are the fins clamped, any sign of fin rot? What size is the tank, is it heated, how often do you water change and how much? How long has he been this way? Start by doing a large water change.

Minty Tv - 8 years ago

i tried pellets and powder food and he barely move
what do i do

Lifewithpets - 8 years ago

I'm sorry to hear that. Does he have any other symptoms and what foods have you tried?

Minty Tv - 8 years ago

my betta puts the food in his mouth but spits it again what do i do

I feed mine live shrimp and they are crazy about it. 1 cup $1.75 it will last for 2-3 day for my 32g fresh water aquarium and saltwater aquarium , have to rinse it before giving it to my fresh water fish.

I'm getting a betta and a five gallon tank, I would like to also get maybe 4 or 5 very small fish to go with the betta but don't know what would work well with this size of tank I'm getting, any suggestions ? love your set up BTW and your betta is beautiful.

+Lifewithpets Great advise thank you

Thanks for watching. A 5 gallon is a great size for a Betta, however it's not big enough if your wanting more fish in with your Betta. Bettas are very territorial and in a 5 gallon space he would easily be able to bully and probably kill the other fish. Also having a total of 5-6 fish in a 5 gallon would be too much for the bio load. Male Bettas become even more aggressive if they feel closed in by lots of fish swimming around them. If you're wanting more fish in with your Betta a 10 gallon tank would be minimum with 3-4 other small fish. The one thing with Bettas , there are never any guarantees they will peacefully live with other fish no matter what the tank size. I have several Bettas that can't live with other fish, even in a 20 gallon tank! For a 5 gallon tank I'd recommend nerite snails as tank buddies for your Betta. My video I'll be posting this week is on snails.

Thanks for watching. Food that contains fish meal, is not generally a good food. I started using New Life Spectrum to avoid fish meal and whole fish meal as it's not good for the fish.

My babies usually get two pellets (one pellet for my girl fish) and bloodworms once in a while for their food. I have a different kind of food for mine but yours looks really cool and your fish seem to love it... Where did you get it? Anyways, great video!

+Lifewithpets Oh, okay, thanks!

I got the pellets from Amazon. They're very good quality. I got them from Amazon, link is in the description box. They were recommend by a breeder because the ingredients is very good. They are a little more expensive but it's a bigger pot than most other pellet foods and it will last a very long time!
