this video is cool I am getting a Betta fish tomorrow and I have the tank set up

Jagged Unicorn! - 7 years ago

For everyone saying that you need a filter or a air pump is ridiculous. While it makes it much easier to clean your tank, it is not necessary. If you plan on not having one, then you have to clean 100% of your water each week. if you do have one, then you only need to clean out 10% of your tank each week. As for what you ACTUALLY need for a betta is a heater (if your room is making your tank too cold), a 2.5+ gallon tank, at least one plant, food, and water conditioner. thats it

Diana Quintero - 7 years ago

you need a bigger tank mate

ShotsFired28 - 7 years ago

I have a 10 gallon for my betta

claudia gallagher - 7 years ago

Pls get a bigger tank ! 2.5 gallon at most...also get a filter there tank gets filthy very easily!! There TROPICAL fish you NEED a heater

Bug Girl 101 - 7 years ago

Poor betta.....

Atiya Isra - 7 years ago

Guys! Don't force her to get a new tank what if anyone is forcing you

Lainie Wilson - 7 years ago

1. You need at least more then a 2.5 gallon tank Betta fish are used to swim long distances.
2. You need a Fliter
3. You Might need a air pump (it's Optional)
4. You need a heater ( Betta fish are tropical fish they need there water to be 70 - 80 degree's.
5. You need a light so there not in the dark.
6. You can't just put a plant in there you need a Log or Something it can hide in when it's Scared.
7. When your cleaning your tank Never ever use soap it can make your fish sick ( I'm not sure if you did but if you did then don't)
8. Your tank is less then a gallon so when your using water conditioner only add a drop Never add more if you have 5 gallon's like I do then add Half of the cap if you have 10 gallon's then add 1 cap full.
And if you can't afford any of these things then you shouldn't buy a Betta fish or even a fish.

Droopygus AJ - 7 years ago

Thanks for this video! New betta owner will find this very helpful!

Droopygus AJ - 7 years ago

It is true that tanks that size are not the best choice for a betta but some betta preffer these smaller tanks. I got a betta for my 9 gallon and only a while after he became stressed got sick and almost died... today he swims happily in the exact tank. Also many people cant afford bigger tanks or even have space. I still dont agree with these small tanks but I also dont agree with to big of tanks since most have been raised in tiny areas their whole lives and big tanks can stress.

Dylan Weldon - 7 years ago

Tank is way to small

kakiexo14 - 7 years ago

Holy cow so many ppl coming at her over the tank. Yes I get the minimal size is suppose to be 2.5g but it's better than the cup it came in. Yes it's a bit small but my betta is in about the same size and he is thriving off his living space and is rather content and that's all that matters. & maybe this was just a substitute tank until she can get a bigger one sheesh

Cloclo's Life - 7 years ago

Tip defiantly needs a bigger tank I would say at least a 2.5gallon to 5gallon tank for one beta Also the conditioner is probably not mixed in all the way and that's a freshwater tank betas prefer brackish water which is. A combo of salt with conditioned freshwater and also simple top mix all ingredients for brackish water in seperate bowl then pour in to container

Cloclo's Life - 7 years ago

Also defiantly suggest getting a filter and heater there for keep in mind they are tropical fish

Christina Sanchez - 7 years ago

A betta needs a heater a filter as nd at least a 3 gallon tank if you think it's to expensive don't get the fish

Kay W - 7 years ago

all of y'all freaking out on her and being assholes about the tank size and filters and heaters are ridiculous. No one takes advice seriously when you're a dick about it,, be helpful not rude and it would have much more of an impact

Jagged Unicorn! - 7 years ago

im not sure if your saying that you dont think bettas need those things (which, they do.) but i agree with you that people need to stop yelling ANIMAL ABUSE at this poor girl and instead calmly explain that bettas need those things

ImEthan - 7 years ago

Every ones saying you need a heater but not really as in the pet store there in cups with nothing to hide in or decorations

Meredith Foster - 7 years ago

ImEthan yes but the pet stores do not treat the bettas correctly

SpicehGames - 7 years ago

Just do a 25% water change with a siphoner, first get at least a 3 gallon please. I have my Betta in a 4 gallon and he doesn't even seem as happy as he could be.

Atiya Isra - 7 years ago

SpicehGames the minimum is 2.5 gallons not 3 gallons

Chloe's All about - 7 years ago

That tank is way too small and it needs a filter heater and I bet you didn't even cycle the tank before you bought it that poor betta is going to die if you continue to keep him in there

I have the exact same tank, I really don't like it. I hope to get a better one for when I get my Betta fish

ur tank is too small,no light,no heating poor Betta

Kendall's Critters! Official stop copying - 7 years ago

Please do research, Betta fish need at least 2.5 gallons, not smaller. They need a heater, and a filter is best if you don't want to do a water change everyday.

THAT TANK IT WAY TO SMALL FOR A BETTA

sydneyparker - 7 years ago

To have a betta they are tropical fish and need the water temperature to be at least 75 degrees tops at 83 and they need a filter to make it easier to never do 100% water changes its unhealthy for your fish and tank cycle you need a tank at least 2.5 gallons no less

david dior - 7 years ago

guys, look at the bright side. she saved a betta from those tiny cups at the petstore

david dior - 7 years ago

YesImRachel more like 5 times the size

Mariah Marriott - 8 years ago

Siamese Fighting Fish need at least a 2.5 gallon tank or more, anything less risks having your fish usually dying early from either stress or too much ammonia. They need a filter and a heater that maintains a temperature between 74-84 degrees Fahrenheit or 23-28 degrees celsius. You must realize that they originate from places like Thailand all the way to Vietnam and are found in rice paddies which stretch out for miles, their not puddles..

animal freak - 8 years ago

Neil Maharaj - 8 years ago

AlexandrasPets - 8 years ago

I appreciate that you are so careful with the fish and thinks about cleaning the tank properly. Just get a little bigger tank and you will see how much spirited your betta will be! :)

Wolf Song - 8 years ago

You need a heater and filter and REAL plants!!

Abby's Pets And Bettas! - 8 years ago

Wolf Song you are right but you do not need real plans. Sometimes your plans can either be harmful. The problem that she is made here is that because she has such a beautiful fighting fish her tail is extremely large and beautiful and she has quite rigid plants which means that it is easy for her fish to scrape her beautiful tail on it and she will get holes in her tail. Usually Live plants McCullough problem and issue and they can even cause better fish to get dick I suggest using round soft plastic plants

Dakota FarmGirls - 8 years ago

Peppel in my upinyon it is small but if she likes it i think it is fine my first Betta live in a 1 gallon tank and he lived 4 years with on Heater and no filter and she seems to tack good car of her fish! and the Betta Looks like He is in very good health! and it most not get vary cool in there if he is still alive!

hurt animal abusers paws you don't need a filter but I wouldn't get one without getting it a filter I'd you can't afford a filter you would need to do a full clean every 2 days but that would cause way to much stress

xEndiePearlx - 7 years ago

Guinea pig Life then you're a dumbass bitch learn how to take care of a fish :(

Crystal Bella - 7 years ago

Guinea pig Life it doesn't matter if it "works super good." It is too small. Small tank = low quality of life for your betta = stressed fish. Please do your research before getting any pet, including a fish.

Pigy Lux - 7 years ago

hurt animal abusers paws I have that tank and it works super good

Little Bit of California - 8 years ago

hurt animal abusers paws if your tank is around the recommended temperature then you are fine but I would getting a heater as betas come from a tropical climatez

They need heaters more than a filter, though

I said 0.75 gal

That One Equestrian - 8 years ago

Wolf life 75 gallon is not only extremely big, but way to expensive as well. 2.5 and up would be correct. I have a 40 gallon and that fits 4 big goldfish and they still have a lot of room to swim around. That being said, a betta does not need that much space.

LovesSongz - 8 years ago

You shouldn't buy that tank, bettas need at least 2.5 gallons.

keally1234 - 8 years ago

that tank is WAY too small for a betta! Please do your research before purchasing a pet. This video is full of misguiding information for others out there. A betta needs a minimum of a 3gal, and definitely a heater as they are tropical fish! I highly suggest a filter too.

Crystal Bella - 7 years ago

mad is not rad that doesn't always matter. It doesn't necessarily matter what the temperature is outside- it matters what it is in the room the betta is in. If your betta tank is receiving sunlight, it is getting warm in the daytime but the temperature of the water drops as the sun sets. The rapid rising and falling of the water temperature isn't good for tropical fish.

mad is not rad - 8 years ago

keally1234 they may not need a heater depending where you live, if you live in a tropical climate and if the temperature stays above 75 degrees in the day and the night you should be fine

M's Animals - 8 years ago

Hi there! Loved he video. But not the tank. I would recommend switching to a 3 gal critter keeper ( Size Medium). they sell them at Walmart for fairly cheep. The rule is 2.5 gallons for 1 betta. Doesn't matter what gender.

Winnie The Duck - 7 years ago

xEndiePearlx actually, it depends. If it's a big tank I suggest a heater and filter, but if it's pretty small, you don't necessarily need a filter, but a heater is recommended. If she doesn't have a filter, she just has to clean it every while. I clean mine every second day :)

Julianna Hernandez - 7 years ago

xEndiePearlx - 7 years ago

ElectricHammy115 yes they do you're a fucking dumbass smh

Crystal Bella - 7 years ago

ElectricHammy115 do your research before telling people off and saying things that aren't true. Yes, bettas definitely need a heater, and while a filter isn't absolutely necessary it is recommended.

animal addict - 8 years ago

+ElectricHammy115
a filter, maybe not, but a heater is 100 percent needed as they come from thiland which is hot so they are considered tropical fish.
without heaters, they are more prone to diseases and don't live as long.

ElectricHammy115 - 8 years ago

animal addict She DOES NOT need a HEATER OR A FILTER! Give ppl a break, I know ur trying to help, but it's not, srry

animal addict - 8 years ago

+Mèng Xiǎng
I'd say a 3 gal and up can be heated as my store has started to sell 15 watt heaters
(5 whatts per gal)

justkenna97 - 8 years ago

fish don't belong in that small of a tank anyway

Lucy Mia - 8 years ago

If you use a heater in a less than 5 gallon tank, you run the risk of overheating your tank, or in the worry case scenario, killing your fish. Just buy a five gallon or higher tank, it's not too expensive.

s_ r - 8 years ago

might as well save some time by buying cheap filter and changing 50percent each week..i have 10 gallon tank dived and both of my betta have there own filter so i change like 20 fercent

+Mèng Xiǎng ik i been keeping betta for over 6 year the filters are very small like for 2 gallon

Lucy Mia - 8 years ago

Um....you don't really need so many filters....a single filter is enough. Having multiple filters increases the water flow; remember, bettas prefer still water.

Movie Tea - 7 years ago

I have had years of experience with animals, too. Animal care knowledge is updating very quickly. What was considered humane for betta fish 5 years ago is now understood to be inhumane. When I got my betta fish, it was in a pet store cup. I first though that he had swim bladder, because he just sat at the bottom of his cup and didn't move. Now I know that he was being lethargic, a sign of unhappiness and possible illness, because of the size of his cup and the condition and temperature of his water. He now has a 5.5 gallon tank all to himself with a heater and a filter, and he's constantly swimming around. Very rarely do I see him sitting still in his tank. Betta fish have such great personalities, and they are great fish, but you never get to see that if you go the easy route and put them in poor living conditions. Taking care of animals isn't really about having the animal. It's about giving the animal the best quality of life that you can. Putting a fish in a small container without proper water conditions and going "eh, it'll survive" is not a healthy attitude to have. Remember, you are dealing with a living, breathing creature. Please treat them with respect and care by making sure that you are knowledgable about how to take care of them.

Crystal Bella - 7 years ago

Christian Contreras it doesn't matter if a betta fish "cares" if it has enough space. Small tank = stressed betta. Animals may not share the same emotions as us humans but that doesn't mean they shouldn't have quality of life.

That One Equestrian - 8 years ago

The Ninja Bettas love swimming around and can be pretty active. Mine were always active. When you go to the pet store and see bettas in a cup and they aren't moving much, then they are probably sick and/or don't have enough space to actually swim. I have a 10 gallon and when I had my betta, he was (as I said before) very active

DO NOT FILL IT ALL THE WAY! Betta fishes need air! Also, your tank should be 2.5 gallons or larger.

+Mandy Pee .5 gallons, way too small for any living animal. I wouldn't even consider it a tank.

Mandy Pee - 8 years ago

what size is the tank?

Nayana Alyanie - 8 years ago

Lol gurly, you can think it's fine but it's still cruel and too small. You can't even put a heater in such a tiny space. Half a gallon "tank" isn't close to even enough room. It's not preference, it's fact.

Laura.ren101 - 8 years ago

+Nayana Alyanie I think it's fine TBH. But I can see why people would prefer to have larger tanks for their fish.

Thanks a lot for this video! Really helpful and I love how you take care of your betta❤️ But how does your betta get oxygen in a tank like that? I mean when there's no pump or filter?

Please do get a bigger tank

a 2.5 gal and a filter (how about the aqueon beta bow 2.5) would be nice for your fish and get more plants

Crystal Bella - 7 years ago

ElectricHammy115 every tropical fish needs a heater to regulate the water temperature. As sunlight hits the fish tank in the day the water is warmed, but as the sun sets the water temp begins to rapidly decrease. The rapid rising and falling of the water temp is not good for the fish.

MrCrappyUploads - 8 years ago

ElectricHammy115 that's basically the cup..

animal addict That tank isn't that bad, yes I agree it could be bigger, but at least it's not in a small cup! And if she is in a warm climate she does not need a heater. Plus it's her choice on how she wants to care for her betta.

get a 2.5 gal and a heater

imalyssaj_ - 8 years ago

+xxalyssa also I'm sorry if I'm sounding mean I just want all bettas to live good lives. This tank is ok as a temporary tank but I would save up my money to buy a bigger one.

imalyssaj_ - 8 years ago

+The Ninja I'm not going to continue arguing but they only sell those for the money and its probably waaaayyy overpriced. That's my opinion id rather get a 12$ 2.5 tank

BraZZa BoYd - 8 years ago

trust me that betta is fine that tank is actually designd for bettas

imalyssaj_ - 8 years ago

+The Ninja no it's not!!! That's a .5 gallon NO FISH can live in that. It's cruel and unfair for the fish. People only say it's fine so that they don't have to spend that much money. If you don't have enough money for a 2.5 gallon tank or more then you shouldn't have a fish.

BraZZa BoYd - 8 years ago

this tank is fine sized

You need a net for your fish so you can put her back without dumping the dirty water into the clean tank

That One Equestrian - 8 years ago

animal addict I know. As I said, if the fish is sick, then you should do a 100% water change

animal addict - 8 years ago

+HorseY Rae the tank was too small to do under a 100 percent clean

That One Equestrian - 8 years ago

The old water will have good bacteria. You should never to 100% water changes like she did (except if the fish is sick) in that case, it's good that dirty water was put in.

Ashley Fenimore - 8 years ago

Mèng Xiǎng I'm speakin of when u do a full water change like in the vid I myself so a full water change about 2 time to 3 times a year I know the whole nitrite nitrate thing don't worry

Lucy Mia - 8 years ago

Ashley Fenimore Ashley Fenimore Do you clear out all the water?

Ashley Fenimore - 8 years ago

And on shocking the fish I would highly recommend getting some type of coat for that like a stress coat or zyeme

Ashley Fenimore - 8 years ago

Mèng Xiǎng I know in a tank bigger than. 1.3 gal u should do that tho I was talking more for a bigger picture for example all 20 of my bettas live in 10 gals so I have to do it then I normall add about 10% of the water back including the water in which the holding tank for my fish is in but this tank would be way to small to do that I'm sorry I was a bit unclear on that

Lucy Mia - 8 years ago

+Ashley Fenimore Thanks. I don't really think you have to do that, as the tank itself is too small to house nitrifying bacteria. The only thing it will grow is harmful organisms and/or chemicals.

If the concern is shocking the fish, simply matching the water temperature of the water for the water change with the tank water will significantly reduce the stress.

That said, if it was a bigger tank, you would only do 100% water changes if the water somehow contains harmful foreign chemicals or organisms. It would thus be essential to completely eliminate every drop.

Ashley Fenimore - 8 years ago

Mèng Xiǎng jcrystal said that u need to put some "dirty" or bacteria fulfilled water back in the tank

Lucy Mia - 8 years ago

Ashley Fenimore Wait wait wait can you explain what crystal said? Her comment was unintelligible to me.

Ashley Fenimore - 8 years ago

Crystal Reiter that's what I was suggesting:l

Crystal Reiter - 8 years ago

you're actually suppose to pour the fish and the only water back in so the fish can adapt easier otherwise you can send the fish into shock and kill it

Ashley Fenimore - 8 years ago

+animal addict that's why I'm suggesting a bigger tank!

animal addict - 8 years ago

+Ashley Fenimore that tanks too small for a heater and filter

Ashley Fenimore - 8 years ago

+Mèng Xiǎng I would suggest the same with a filter and heater for proper care of her bettas but also any water has a cycle enough to keep it alive and like in the vid the water is cloudy that's because the cycle was unsettled and once it cleared it settles and the bacteria begins growing again

Lucy Mia - 8 years ago

+Ashley Fenimore Even if bacteria grows in the small tank, it wouldn't be consistent enough to rely on as your biological filter. If you have a small tank, just do frequent water changes and use a water conditioner that neutralizes ammonia and nitrite, like prime. Though I'd just suggest buying a larger tank.

Ashley Fenimore - 8 years ago

+Jack smith but any body of water even in a small tank like that forms a natural cycle it is how all living organisms survive in small puddles

Jack smith - 8 years ago

+Ashley Fenimore Theres no filter so a cycle wont form anyway so it makes little difference.

Ashley Fenimore - 8 years ago

Actually it is good to add some old water back because then some bacteria will still be growing in the tank and that is benificial to the nitrite and nitrate levels which then help keep the ph and chlorine levels low and the balance of vitamins on point:)

Lucy Mia - 8 years ago

+Emma J A one gallon tank is still too small, five gallons is the minimum if you want your fish to thrive.

Lanz H - 8 years ago

Thanks! And I got this tank at Walmart for $10.00 + tax and I honestly think that this is not a good tank for betta fish because it is pretty small. If u don't want to spend way too much money on a big tank for them then just get a 1 gallon it is only for $20.00 I think that's better for betta fish

Lanz H - 8 years ago

And when I said to Clean the strainer well I meant to do that earlier

SohiHien - 8 years ago

If you can't afford to provide the proper environment and care for a pet then you shouldn't buy the pet. Fish are actually a rather expensive pet to have to start since they require heaters/filters/decor/food/tanks/water treatments ect.

Eternal Skyy Costumes - 8 years ago

You can easily buy a large tub from a dollar store for the same price if not less than you'd pay for a tiny little tank like this. A heater is pretty much also necessary for any organism classified as tropical, which betta fish are and the pet store doesn't care about. Yet people get in trouble for dog abuse and cat abuse, not fish abuse. I find that very unfair considering fish show signs of depression as well as physical pain just as much as dogs/cats do. It's not a toy. If you can't afford a heater and a large enough tank, a betta is not for you. It's like adopting a child and locking them in a room for its entire life without cleaning it much at all due to betta fish create more ammonia than an average fish. They also benefit from a bacteria cycle for health reasons as well as the heater in the tank to keep the temperature more steady and closer to 80 degrees. Room temp will leave the water in the tank 10 degrees less than the room temperature is. I studied and owned bettas for 7+ years now. A happy betta is a more active betta that's incredibly energetic compared to slumping around in a smaller non heated environment, it makes a VERY big difference when you change the size and heating in the tank. It will overcome more diseases and illnesses with a form of heating as well as a larger tank and heater used to create less of a dramatic temperature drop/change over time.

samy N crisb - 8 years ago

sometimes people are so dramatic, "That tank is so small ,it's animal abuse ",in my opinion I think that we try to help them live rather than let them suffer at a pet store and some people don't have money for a bigger tank!At least she's responsible
