Does the water where the fish swims in need to be warm or in between

Meli Shin - 7 years ago

Ok so my better fish is at least 2 years old (maybe more), and is recovering from some pretty bad fin rot (I already got the medicine, AQ salt, etc). However, he stopped eating any food at all for the first time ever (for about 6 days straight), but he looks a little more bloated than the betta in this video.. help! My betta fish is going to starve D:

Sofía Said - 7 years ago

well I´ve had a betta for a little more than a year and I would say you should do 100% water changes every three days until his fin gets better, and of course adding the medicine and the salt but not too much, also check the temperature is 77°F, and you should have a heater. Mine once also had fin rot and he got better when I added the heater; I thought it wasn´t necessary but it actually is even if you live in a moderately hot area. Good luck with your fish!!! Anyways, I don't know what to do with the bloating cuz it usually heals by not giving it food for some days:/ I read you could give it daphnia as it is a mild laxative, also if his body is swelling or has scales sticking out like a pinecone, it could indicate a more serious problem like Dropsy. Good luck again!

Ainsley - 7 years ago

let us rise the decorations. sorry i had too.. love this vid tho thank you!!

Sandy MysticJoy - 7 years ago

question: How big is your tank and how much conditioner did you add?

Mufaddal Merchant - 7 years ago

u could have also used strainer 2 clean the gravel

Carter Anderson - 7 years ago

At step five you said rise in stead of rinse

Kyla & Alyssa - 7 years ago

What I would do is don't scrub the decor but when you take the fish out try to take as much of the old tank water with it.so if you do have to do a large water change the tank will cycle faster.

Gwyn P. - 7 years ago

I love the name Galaxy for your betta! I named mine StarDust because mine is a shiny pastel pink, purple, and some blue!

Emily Dean - 7 years ago

Bettas need a filter.

King Ciel - 7 years ago

If she tests the water and the tank is clean then the fish is just fine. Keeping live plants or moss in your tank is a good way to maintain clean water as well. But even with live plants, weekly water changes is a must. And anymore than 50% can put quite a lot of stress on your fish so I don`t recommend doing 100% water changes every week.

Emily Dean - 7 years ago

Her water changes are not enough to maintain that though. 50% a week is not a lot when you don't have a filter.

King Ciel - 7 years ago

+Hannah Renee You don`t need a filter to have a healthy fish. Just make sure you are keeping up on good water quality and you don`t get behind on water changes. And although you don`t need a filter I still recommend a heater if your home gets colder than 75 degrees.

King Ciel - 7 years ago

You`re only partially right. Bettas do need filters. Ammonia and other bacteria is really bad to have in the water. But you are wrong about believing they can`t live without a filter. I breed betta fish and have owned and sold them for years. My fish currently have filters but I`ve had them without filters before. Especially during breeding. As long as you are doing frequent water tests and changes, your betta will be fine without a filter. Some of the best and longest living bettas I`ve ever had lived their whole long lives without filters. It all just depends on how dedicated you are on keeping good water quality. The only reason I put filters in 12 of my betta tanks was because I got too busy to maintain the water quality. Hopefully this helps

Emily Dean - 7 years ago

You're so salty that you are wrong. I'm justing telling you about proper fish care.

Hannah Renee - 7 years ago

+Emily Dean 1. Like I've said three times now. My fish is 100% happy and healthy. 2. Like I've said three times now, I check the water every other day and it is 100% clean and where it needs to be. 3. I don't use strips. I test the water properly. 4. Don't be a know it all when you DON'T know it all. 5. You're not the only one who knows shit about animals. 6. Learn to properly care for your water and it won't be dirty. 7. I take perfect care of my water and it is 100% clean. You cannot tell me it's dirty when I test it almost everyday and it's always perfectly fine up until I need to do a water change. You do not need to have a filter if you know how to care for your water. I haven't used a filter in almost 20 years of fish owning. So clearly, you need to chill the fuck out and realize you're not always right, kid. Learn to read so I can stop repeating myself. And also learn how to accept the fact that 1. You're not always right and 2. Everything doesn't have to always be done the exact way you do it for it to be correct. If you like to use a filter, that's fine. I personally would rather just put the manual labor into taking care of the water myself, and that is fine too. Have a good day. Bye. :)

Emily Dean - 7 years ago

How much ammonia is regularly in the water? There is some ammonia if there is no filter, and any ammonia is unhealthy for fish. Do not call me "dear", your defensiveness shows because you don't want to hear the truth. Your fish needs proper care, and if you aren't willing to give it that, you are a poor caretaker. You could change and be a good caretaker, but that's on you. I hope you try to learn about proper fish care and the nitrogen cycle; it is very important information for keeping fish. I help people on fish forums and have hundreds of posts. I have read plenty. And it sounds like you use test strips, which are inaccurate. Unexpired liquid tests are shown to work the best.

Hannah Renee - 7 years ago

+Emily Dean Like I said, I've had him for 2 years and he is perfectly fine. Also like I said, I test the water every other day and it is 100% where it needs to be. Ammonia is NOT a problem in my tank, if it was, I would know. Because unlike you, I actually know how to take care of my water. You do not need a filter if you are able to maintain clean and healthy water without one. I think you seem to be the one who needs to read up on fish care dear. And stop trying to be a know-it-all when you clearly do not know it all. ;)

Emily Dean - 7 years ago

That will not take care of ammonia, and your fish will not produce nitrates without a filter. Are you using strips? They are extremely inaccurate and liquid tests actually work. ANY amount of ammonia is bad for a fish. Please read up on fish care.

Hannah Renee - 7 years ago

+Emily Dean I do not have a filter in my tank. I do 50% water changes once a week and I test my water every other day for ammonia and nitrates. Everytime I test my water it is clean and right where it needs to be. I have been doing this since the day I got my fish 2 years ago and he is still happy and healthy. :) If you take care of your water and make sure to check it often, you do not need a filter. If you're having that much issue with ammonia, pease read up on how to take care of your water. Have a good day.

Emily Dean - 7 years ago

No, tanks with filters still need water changes once a week to get rid of nitrates. To prevent ammonia burns, you would have to do a 100% change every 2 days on a tank with no filter at the very least. Any amount of ammonia is dangerous for fish. Please read up on the nitrogen cycle.

Hannah Renee - 7 years ago

Emily Dean Bettas do not need filters if you do weekly water changes. They only need a filter if you are lazy and you're not going to do partial water changes 1-2 times a week.

Emily Dean - 7 years ago

Yes, all fish need filters to prevent negative effects of ammonia. Any amount of ammonia is harmful.

Animal life - 7 years ago

No they don't but if u want to u can

ShadowEdg3 - 7 years ago

If you have a male, TRY NOT TO DESRTROY THE BUBBLE NEST!!!

ShadowEdg3 - 7 years ago

You need to also put roughly the same temperature as last time. If you don't, the Berta will flare overnight and MAY die.

Tykuinx ü - 7 years ago

when you put the Betta fish in a different tank/cup do you just put tap water in it or do you have to condition it before hand?

theicer213 - 7 years ago

Hipster dog you use the water from the tank preferably. You can use conditioned water but it's better to stick with the tank water

Bilal el hlimi - 7 years ago

you should never use tap water to clean decoration or gravel cause tap water has chlorine which might kill all the beneficial bacteria.

x Alyssa Queen x - 6 years ago

Bilal el hlimi i used tap water to clean the deco for a year now and he’s fine, as long you clean it with warm water

i always have trouble removing my betta. he's so fast and is scared of any nets/cups what do you suggest?

emøtiønal kiddø - 7 years ago

+Geeky Freaky *didn't know much

emøtiønal kiddø - 7 years ago

+pinkycheeks haha yes, betta fish fins are extremely beautiful! sadly when I first got him and I didn't much about bettas so, I got a pretty bad plant that would ruin his fins and he got sick. He had fin rot and a swim bladder infection. I did research and I bought bettafix, water conditioner, and aquarium salt. It honestly really helped and my little friend is happy and healthy. I'm so glad I didn't loose him. But anyways no problem.

pinkycheeks - 7 years ago

:) thank you!! i agree they get startled easily and my bettas fins are so beautiful i dont want to ruin them!

emøtiønal kiddø - 7 years ago

when I first got my betta, I kept the cup that I bought him in. I usually use the cup when it's time to take him out. It can be a bit tricky since bettas can get a little startled and swim very fast. You don't want to hurt them and their fins. I suggest using a small cup with a cap on it, so they don't jump off or tip it over. Just try to be patient and wait until your betta is still and I bet that'll help :)

fish are smart. I know this because when i go to feed my fish in my tank and my betta fish in my pretty big bowl, they go to the top of the water opening and closing their mouths swimming toward my direction. It's funny how some people think that fidh aren't smart.

FaithxoxoMiami 1 - 8 years ago

When you do a water change NEVER pour all the water out, because it takes all of the nutrients the fish has made, so when doing a water change only pour about 1/3 all the water then clean all the plants,rocks and ect

Thotie Princess - 6 years ago

+Rishon Harrell no thanks

Lindsay Lou who - 6 years ago

Nickie 456 - 7 years ago

If you look the tank water goes from being full then it cuts but after the cut theres a little water missing, before she poured the rest out. I think the water that was missing was the water that she took out to save for after.

Sptth Sptth - 7 years ago

She didn't pour all the water out. She put it in a container

FaithxoxoMiami 1 - 7 years ago

+Rhythm F. Buy a tank vaccum to suck up all the stuffs or after your done pouring out the 1/3 of water, use your hand or a long item to reach the bottom of the tank and move the rocks around to lift up the debris then use a fish net holder to lift out the debris. And make sure you put the missing water back and add a few drops of "stress coat" to calm the fish, and last add the fish back into the tank

Rhythm F. - 7 years ago

oh, what about the gravel below?

Kacey Tristelle - 8 years ago

kiina91 - 8 years ago

your tank is not properly Set up for a betta. I needs a lot of hiding places e.g. caves and tall silk plants, something to rest near the water surface like a betta hammock and some Cover from the top in Form of swimming plants.
Your tank needs a filter and depending on the temperature a heater.
about cleaning the tank: never ever clean it like you did in this Video.
1st it is very stressful for your betta to remove him. Just get a Hose, remove some water with it and pour New treated water back into the tank.
2nd doing a 100% water change and a full clean of the gravel destroy all those benefical bacteria your tank needs to prevent ammonia and nitrites building up (fish poo -> ammonia -> benefical bacteria convert ammonia to -> nitrites -> benefical bacteria convert nitrites to -> nitrates. ammonia and nitrites are highly toxic for a fish, the cycle needs about 4 to 8 weeks to establish and you need a test Kit to find out when it is cycled)

Corey Michael Mixter - 8 years ago

Umm... Aren't you supposed to keep like 1/3 of the old water so the fish doesn't get stressed?

Good video but bad advice 1. Never take fish out of tank 2.water change shouldn't be all it should be about 15-20% 3. never do a 100% water change unless diseased or something like that even then only 60-75% as this upsets the cycle I hope you did before buying the betta

Ok I just take tap water and leave it out then I empty the tank I put the fish in a cup then I clean the tank out soap and water like if I'm doing the dishes then I dry the tank add the water I set a side and then the fish I do this every week am I doing it wrong? ?

Haley Rose Voorkamp - 8 years ago

+Christian Rodriguez I would advise you don't use soap as it can kill the fish. Just use hot or conditioned tap water to rinse everything, such as ornaments or artificial plants, but keep in 20-50% of the old water in the tank, I don't recommend changing 100% of the water every week, unless there is something noticeably wrong with your water. You can also get a gravel vacuum to help keep the algae growth to a minimum. Best of luck!

Um idk how old you are but fish can't hear you so ....

EvilDrWang - 8 years ago

+sweetcupcakegirl100 I taught him to watch TV. I hope he comes back. I've been calling into the drain to splash if he can hear me, but he doesn't answer.

Daily Kyla - 8 years ago

+EvilDrWang It probably will die idk exactly but your not really getting the point you can't train a fish what it doesn't know because they've never experienced it.

EvilDrWang - 8 years ago

I got a bigger tank. A 4 gallon tank, and then I was cleaning it, and the fish went down the drain. How do I train him to come back??? Help!

Daily Kyla - 8 years ago

+EvilDrWang You can't train them its just a natural thing that they do. You have male fish their gonna kill and its not healthy to punish them its not going to do anything

EvilDrWang - 8 years ago

+Diana Medina I heard you can train them, so now I'm training mine not to eat the fins of other fish.

Betta are solitary fish they they will kill other fish if you put them in with other fish

taylor hansen - 9 years ago

You need to leave at least a third of the water in the tank. If you change it all at once there's a good chance your fish will go into shock and die.

AquaLife&More - 7 years ago

taylor hansen That's weird I know it is bad but... Betta's are really Hardy fish and shouldn't die from 100% water changes...

what i do is i have the water in there and then mix up the rocks in my hand so all the poop and un eaten food will float and then i hurry up and dump the water out

Tanner Alexander - 9 years ago

My beta will look up and float. He isnt dead, ive ween him move. Does anyone know why he does that

MyGoldiesAndMe - 8 years ago

+Tanner Alexander I've seen bettas do that at the pet store. Maybe he's just depressed or bored. My betta was acting similar to what you described so I changed up the decoration of his tank and now he swims around and looks fine :) It defiantly could be something else though!

MCLover17 - 8 years ago

It might be because once fish get older they sometimes tend to get diseases so you can get um... Medication or ask some like fish doctor lol idk

karlee cat - 9 years ago

It happened to my fish it will be like that just for a while it's just because you maybe put the fish in wrong when you cleaned the tank

Hey guys i just got a new white betta fish today and its name is snowflake i need to now how many times a week,month,year should i clean my tank

Maeve - 9 years ago

I do a water change on my tank every weekend. which means you take a cup and take a couple scoops of water out, not all of it because your fish needs some of the bacteria and if you take all of it out and add new water its bad for your fish. Then at the end of each month I change the gravel. If algae builds up on the glass I scrub it off on my next water change. Also, you need to use water conditioner. That's pretty much how I do it. It could help if you do some research. Maybe read some articles or watch some youtube videos, it could help a lot.

Shadowstrike 94 - 9 years ago

It's not good to do 100% water changes unless you have a problem with your water. Try changing between 20-50% of the water every week. Never rinse anything in untreated tap water as this will kill all the beneficial bacteria that are trying to colonize there. I recommend getting a small gravel siphon to remove the fish waste and food from the gravel. If you feel the need to rinse your decorations, rinse them in the water you removed from the tank. There is no need to remove Galaxy during this process. Always condition the water before adding it to the tank. This is the proper way to do a water change. Basically by changing the water this way it prevents you from shocking your fish and it allows the beneficial bacteria that are responsible for breaking down ammonia colonize. The bacteria are what keeps a fish alive in an aquarium so it is important to allow your tank to cycle. I hope this helps! I'm glad to see how much you love and care for your fish :)

Shadowstrike 94 i have a aqua culture fish tank can i use a pitcher to remove some water and than have room temperature water and use say safe to put in the pitcher and than in the tank

HorseLove152 - 6 years ago

Shadowstrike 94 hey I am really confused on something. So if I do a 25% water change and I don't take my fish out of the tank, when I add the new conditioned water in it how do I keep him from getting shocked because he isn't used to the new water that I am adding. Into his tank. Is it better to do a less amount of water change so that I don't have to add as much back in that could shock him?

Isn't your betta all lonely in there?

Onemaster - 9 years ago

+Amélia Fagundes Oh, but I have a gorgeous dark red male betta and in the same aquarium I have 10 cardinal tetras, an ancistrus, a hypancistrus, 3 dwarf catfish, 4 kuhli loaches and a vampire shrimp. My aquarium is very peaceful, there hasn't been any trouble. I bought my fish and supplies from extremely professional and knowable sources that can say which fish are compatible and which ones are not. I'm glad I found them... :D my betta hasn't attacked anyone. A couple of times he's come a bit closer to my shrimp and looked at it and then left - he's just a funny trickster :)
I live in Finland, but it MIGHT be that the owner of "Akvaariokeskus" i.e. "Aquarium centre" might also answer e-mail messages in English... The website for the place is akvaariokeskus.com, you can find the e-mail of "petri viskari" here:
http://www.akvaariokeskus.com/ab2005/yhteystiedot/yhteystiedot.htm

Amélia Fagundes - 9 years ago

He is, and this is good. Bettas are very aggressive, and are likely to fight any other long-finned fish. You could add some shrimp... But he'll probably eat it. If he was going to a bigger tank he could have some roommates, but male bettas are always better alone :3 hope that answers your question.

ellaproductions009 - 9 years ago

How often should I clean out betta tank (I do have a filter too)?

ellaproductions009 - 9 years ago

I have been doing the 20% water changes every week, adding in conditioner each time and also doing a general algae clean on the sides of the tank. I also use a gravel vacuum and replace the live plant every now and then :)

Brianna Harter - 9 years ago

a tank that small would actually require a once a week cleaning not every 2 to 3 weeks because the waste accumulates fast and by the time it is becomes noticeable it's already way to high.bettas are hardy fish and most other fish would die from that kinda of abuse.if you had a 5 gallon every 2 to 3 weeks would be correct.nano aquariums(any tank under 5 gallons)even with bettas and small fish need any where from a once a week to 3 times a week cleanings.

ellaproductions009 - 9 years ago

Thankyou:) I am going to do a 20% water change each week too

Therealme47 - 9 years ago

About every 2-3 weeks . But if you start to notice it is getting to dirty you should clean it :)
