Betta fish and Fighter fish??
Are they the same?
I love how you care for each fish as well, if only other pet stores did the same. I'm curious though, I read somewhere that half a gallon, or even one gallon is not enough for a betta, and they had suggested a 2.5 gallon instead. Would you agree or disagree; I don't want to keep my fish in a tank that may be too small for him...

But he has this weird red thing sticking out of his right gill. It's always been there, from day 1. The woman I rescued him from says it was there in the pet store, too. She only had him for like a week, so I'm inclined to believe her.
It doesn't seem to be causing him any pain or interfering with his life in any way. I figured it was just a deformation of his gill, and gives him character. But I'm curious if you might happen to know what it is or if you've ever seen anything like it. It's the only video I have uploaded.

and more information about it
The Fluval is completly filled, isnt that bad for the fish, because he also breathes air?
for each fish? because only 7 of thhem live on the gallons and others are in the 1.5 nestle
ice cream container?
and quess what
my betta ate it
thx
Don argue people look it up please.
System brand...unfortunately probably almost impossible to find in Canada only at this point.
I was wondering how often you would change a 20 litre tank?. I have heard 1 a week and every 2 days, so how often exactly should I change that sized tank?
Also how often would I feed him, you guys said to feed him 3 times a day which I have been doing. I have also heard a once a day. What is better?
Thank you for your time. I hope I haven't been too much of a bother.
I have been cleaning his tank every week with the siphon. Although after we clean there is still a lot of debris left in the tank, poo, old food ect. Is this normal after a clean/water change?.
We are still getting used to how to properly use the siphon to get the best results.
I am getting him some tankmates soon too so I have checked on compatible tankmates for Bettas. I don't want to get him a freind hes going to eat
now for my two questions..
1) I forgot to add a tree while I was at the pet store...how I can add the tree without killing him??? I would think the tree need to be clean...
2)what is a good filter you can recommend for my little friend Poseidon?
One more question...I don't like the size of the tank I have now...do you think 1 gallon is too small for Poseidon???

x6 neon tetras
x1 betta

x12 platies
(apologies for poor fish name spellings. please read it would really help!!!!!)
They don't, bettas are beautiful and sell quickly; they're also doing a lot better than some stores which may keep their bettas in tiny plastic pots (not much bigger than the betta itself, no bigger than your average cup of water,) or worse, keep them with other fish in small community tanks where the other fish have different needs or are fin nippers. Basically this store is doing a really good job at caring for their fish, you can see how healthy they are by looking at the activity and colours :)
It's a pet store, they need to keep them in small tanks in order to be able to keep more in stock. Pet owners should have done the research on the fish before buying so they will likely be sold to someone wit at least a 5 gallon tank that has been cycled ready to go :)
I generally would recommend a 5.5-gallon tank as a good tank size for a single betta however if you do it correctly, you can have a betta in tanks down to .5 gallons, though I wouldn't recommend keeping them there long term. I think they do best in 2.5-5.5 gallon tanks and can do great in larger shallow tanks as well!
it matters a lot because in to small of a tank the animal will suffer from poisoning itself with its own waste.so unless you are cruel or a selfish person you should at least provide the animal with its basic care requirements.
the min tank size is 2.5 and in smaller tanks filters are a must because you need a beneficial bacteria power house breaking down the ammonia.
just because a betta is alive doesn't mean they are fine.bettas are hardy little fish and can take quite a bit of abuse.but just cause they can take it doesn't mean they should and you should owes strive for a thriving.also a few years doesn't tell me much cause if it's less then 4 years you did kill your betta.since the average for a properly cared for betta is 4 to 5 years.although can live longer and I had one live to be 9 years old.

please watch video on how to mate.... dun simply put them together...><
means it's mating time...XD
My brother has had to bettas but they both died his first Bette died after Halloween and his 2nd bettas died yesterday..
The first died from my cousin feeding it to much but what about the second Betta fish..? We did everything we cleaned the tank but he wouldn't eat his pellets or flakes it blood worms we had some pretty large rocks on the bottom of the tank we think 1 fell in his body and he broke his arm and couldn't get a breathe..
Any ideas what could've happened because my first Betta fish is still alive from Christmas rip sky lander and sky lander junior :,(
design of the bowl itself (even big bio-orbs for that matter) there's actual scientific studies/research done on the flaws of this design which make it unsuitable for any aquatic life.
When I get time later I'll find that paper and post link.
A betta that's just surviving in a 5g or less with no filtration, or heat, or one but not the other with fake plants and doesn't have cycled water, any beneficial bacteria with ammonia spikes every other day will usually survive/live around 1,2 or 3 years, they die a slow death from not being given what they need to thrive.
really not something to sue over.

the other day I woke up to a dead fish, he was very unhealthy right from entering the tank, his tank was the dirtiest and was ALWAYS dirty. he never grew right and always secreted some kind of plaque like substance, it upsets me very much as I thought he was living a suffered life. And am just glad to know whatever was wrong with him is over with and whatever kind of pain he had is over... I don't know if there was something I could've done and I'd rather just not know, I feel guilty enough he died. I fed him ever day regularly and always tried to keep up with the filth he created, I just hope now he made it to fishy heaven.
the two fish would often play through the tanks as they were always placed side by side, and now even Thomas' attitude has declined, he plays less; sleeps at the bottom more often and I've recently moved him near a window for some fresh air and sunlight, now I hope Thomas can grieve and move on. I regret ever buying them as much as I love them, I don't like the feeling I'm 'playing God' with these micro sized creatures...
it's different with my dog, as the dogs and cats I've had are always on a family status, trying to blend in as best as their goofy hearts can... I don't want condolences or anyone's sympathy/empathy, I just searched Betta Fish and clicked the top result to document this story... I do tank whomever does read this, and appreciate the time to read a stranger's chapter of life
RIP

he's a small guy
But yes, I agree, bettas should be kept in 2.5 gallons or greater for a permanent home.
definatly for a pet store to keep them. i always see the poor things in cups, not able to swim properly and just sitting at the bottom.

Now go sell your betta fish and get a starter kit for about 50, and if you can't afford it well you can go fuck yourself to the moon buddy because you've probably killed off your fish
But if you don't care, then clean it out every few days
A minimum tank size for betta is 2.5 gallon but this is for a decent life
For a good life they need at least 5 gallon
People say just because they can live in small tanks they are happy in them but they are not
i am getting a ten gallon tank
would it be okay for 2-3 females ?
Keeping a fish in 100% distilled water is not a good thing. The temperature should be in the range we mentioned above. As for city water, you could check with your municipality; they should be able to tell you what the hardness and pH levels are.
It had
A tank 15l (3 or 4 gallons)
Heater
Filter
Ornaments
The night before it died white stuff appeared onto of the water my mum describe it " the water turned scummy"
On the Thursday it died. Can you help me and tell me how he died!!!?
Beyond that I love your products and what you guys do at Fluval. Keep up the good work!
I'm looking to get a beta and was looking at both the spec and the edge. I was told that the edge isn't the best tank to use as the beta likes to come to the surface for oxygen and the edge has a very small hole in the top with the water flow coming through it. So is the spec the better option?
bae-ta instead of bet-ta
"a half or one gallon is WAY too small" the "WAY" (especially in full capitals) is over-exaggerating, and is unnecessary.
Please do not take this seriously, i just want you to know not to swarm people who are usually inexperienced and post their fishes (on youtube) in tanks smaller than 2.5 gallons.
Please do not over exaggerate over the tank size/volume. at least it's still better than a 500ml fish bowl.
I keep my betta in a 30 gallon tank. What I'm saying is that they don't have a big bioload. Even in a 5 gallon tank by themselves, which I have also done, it was manageable.
However, bettas are nano fish, so they have a very low bioload which means they don't product alot of ammonia.
I say not alot of ammonia.
the only research they should be in a 5 gallon tank is because of swimming space.

I have a 60 litre Marina fishtank, right now in the fishtank I have some tetras and cherry shrimps and also some pinnochio shrimps. I was wondering if I mix a betta fish into the fishtank will they be too aggressive and kill my other fish or is it alright to at least have 1 as all my fish grow up to I think maximum 2-3cm so not very big but by the looks of your utube video betta fish seem quite big.
