Krystal Perron - 7 years ago

btw USE UR HANDS TO CLEAN THE GRAVEL the frase that u said that "now my gravel is clean" IS NOT TRUE!!!!!!!!!!!! YOUR BETTAS ARE LIVING IN A FILTHY TANK WITH NO CLEAN ROCKS I HAVE A BOWL AND I CLEAN EVERYHTING THE WAY ITS SUPPOSED TO

Krystal Perron - 7 years ago

XxxArticDragon andWolfxxX - 7 years ago

Worst tank ever. Why do they even sell those freaking little tanks? Its not good for any type of fish.

Anya Schmidt - 7 years ago

Your tank is way to small

Neil Maharaj - 7 years ago

Never keep your Betta fish tank in the BATHROOM, only clean the tank in the bathroom and then put the tank back maybe in your living room or something, that's what I do, and that way the room temperature will never change

Neil Maharaj - 7 years ago

Actually you're smart to put them in with a divider because this tank isn't even 1 gallon!!! so they would fight anyways.
This tank is actually not to small for them because clearly it has a picture on the box with 2 male Betta's on it. (35 secs)

Neil Maharaj - 7 years ago

Why didn't you put water conditioner... Did you want your fish to have a massive heart attack

Mak Ale - 7 years ago

Love for Animals - 7 years ago

6:15 "they don't need too hot water because...... Because, um, they're not tropical fish."

Love for Animals - 7 years ago

Silly Bettas - 7 years ago

This did not help me

Motchi and Stella - 8 years ago

Silly Bettas - 8 years ago

Stella Films - 8 years ago

That tank isn't even big enough for 1 fish.

bettafriends254 - 7 years ago

Branyealspincer Vlogs - 8 years ago

Riehle Ferguson - 8 years ago

Like Maryam Hewlett said there is many things wrong with this

I know this video was made 3 years ago but I'm still going to comment. There is a reason you have a divider it's because bettas will attack each other. You also shouldn't be taking them out with a net it can hurt their fins, and the reason the betta was swimming away from the net is because it was afraid, but the other one was safely scooped in a cup and probably wasn't as scared.

YasiPlays - 8 years ago

Ok. There is so many things wrong with thus video. You need conditioner,bigger tank,and don't take the divider out while both of the fish are in there. Don't teach people the wrong thing. I hate these fucken people they don't even know how to clean a motherfucken tank. WTH.

Anya Schmidt - 7 years ago

Maryam Hewlett omg she's didn't put conditioner that is so sad

Scott - 8 years ago

I like you're betta and you're tank and I have a blue betta

Harley Allen - 8 years ago

why do u have a divider if ur fish get along ?!

Aly Homewood - 8 years ago

+Harley Allen You should definitely do research before getting any pet, there is no sucht thing as too much info. Most bettas would fight in that situations, her particular bettas might have been under so much stress from tempurature and ammonia that they were too busy attempting to survive to fight.

Harley Allen - 8 years ago

+Aly Homewood ok well what ever I know that tank is small and she needs to get another one really bad but I'm sure her poor bettas already died by now. but I did a lot of research before I got them (probably to much info) I just ment by my comment that might as well have them in the same tank cuz the tank is so tiny

Aly Homewood - 8 years ago

+Harley Allen i'm not stupid either, i've had many betta fish, as well as doing some betta breeding. This particular myth stems from the fact that female bettas can , sometimes, get along under very specific circumstances, in something called a sorority, a sorority is multiple female bettas in the same tank, there must be at least 4-5 bettas in a sorority, the reason for this is that in a sorority, the bettas will establish a social pecking order, if there are too few bettas, the "leader" will bully the lowest ranking fish to death, after the lowest fish is dead, if there are more than 2 fish in the tank, she will continue bullying each fish to death until she is the only one in the tank, a sorority must be at least 10-20 gallons and the water chemistry must be absolutely perfect (which is difficult, especially in smaller tanks, because ammonia builds up very fast with that many bettas.) I'm not going to go into all of the technical details right now, but it is extremely difficult and complicated to have a successful sorority and even if everything is done right, only about 50% of sororitys make it even a year and only about 25% make it 2 years, and that is out of sororitys that are done correctly. If you just toss two female bettas in a small tank (the tank she is using is not even ok for one betta, let alone two) they will fight. Having a betta doesn't mean you know everything ( or anything, actually) about them.

Harley Allen - 8 years ago

+Aly Homewood I know what I'm doing I'm not stupid I have betta fish of my own

Harley Allen - 8 years ago

+Bethany D. yes females do get along I have betta fish

Aly Homewood - 8 years ago

+Harley Allen Betta fish should never be put in the same tank, they do NOT get along, they are called siamese fighting fish for a reason!

Carsyn - 8 years ago

Yeah you need to put conditioner it the water because you fish are more likely to die.Bu everything else you did was great!

differentvlog01 - 9 years ago

Firstly the tank is not the biggest but my tank isn't massive as long as the fish got a good home and is being fed what's it to worry about

differentvlog01 - 9 years ago

Anyone know what temperature the water got to be for a betta

Bella and Bettas - 9 years ago

+differentvlog01 78-80

Zoey Berrier - 9 years ago

The temp should be 73-80 degrees f. But instead of asking on YouTube do your actual research before ever getting a betta fish -_-

Whanatae Dunn Briend - 9 years ago

Anya Schmidt - 7 years ago

pinkseashell09 - 9 years ago

It's sad how as soon as you took off the divider they both quickly swam to the other side of the " tank" proving that they would def like more space to swim. That container is too small for them ):

YasiPlays - 8 years ago

I know right!

Donna McDonell - 9 years ago

Pretty good, but I recommend water conditioner. And those divider tanks are to small. I recommend a five gallon but the minimum is 2.5. That tank all together is to small for two bettas. And also, the night before you clean the tank, get a bucket and and fill it with tap water and add water conditioner and let it sit in the room your betta's tank is in. Before you add your fish in let the container float in the water for 10- 15 minutes. Then let your fish into their little world. To make it easier, but pre- conditioned betta water. You also might want to let your parents handle netting the fish. And both bettas need plants.

This is a great video and awsome tips but please get a 2.5 gallon tank or over , but other than that great cleaning! :)

BrettS02 - 9 years ago

you have to use water condishinor or botteld water because that water from a faucet is tap water and tap water has chemicals and that can kill fish

Betta Tastic - 8 years ago

You really didn't have to curse, she's a kid! Leave her alone we know that there were some mistakes she made but everyone makes mistakes . Like the comment you made you really didn't have to say that word: |.

Shayla Rogalski - 9 years ago

SpelarFlicka - 9 years ago

O.N.E - 10 years ago

Btw they dont need much space because if you put both together they may fight till the death

O.N.E - 10 years ago
