I had a male beta fish, His name was Clizbe. He died in January and he was 2-3. I wish I could've seen this vid and gotten him a bud before he died. R.I.P Clizbe!
Btw im still so shocked its been almost a year since he died!`

Toonio2000 - 7 years ago

The thing is i got some fish for my betta not so long ago

I told the man isn't it dangerous to put a male and female together

He said no its just ok males wil look more pretty when a female is present they are mostly agressive to other males

I said but the internet said this
His response was "i have 30 years experience"

Princess_Elizabeth - 7 years ago

Are the plants in your tank real (this question was before the video) and if they are where did you git them?

SUBIE4estr XT - 7 years ago

You should have a few females with the male soo he doesn't just pick on her only. If hes too agressive you shouldn't have any females with him.

ashley - 7 years ago

For everyone saying this is wrong, this is how bettas live in the wild. Yes they bump into each other and flare but they usually swim away from each other

Alittle _Different - 7 years ago

I found my fish dead on the ground today.

Nick Au - 7 years ago

Wow you know NOTHING about fish keeping and Bettas, First the current is too strong and the poor male is struggling, Male and female Bettas will fight. Next you have Tetras and Guppies, Tetras prefer soft water while Guppies need hard water, shall I go on?

My advice to anybody watching this video is to ignore everything this clip tells you.

Tyler Burnette - 6 years ago

Nick Au aren't they both hardy fish though? And doesn't every "beginner" video you find on YouTube about smaller tanks say these fish go well together/ with a betta? I'm new to this as well and I have no problem with my guppies/tetras/ white clouds and my male betta.

Nature Warrior - 7 years ago

This wouldn't work with me cause my betta fish are in separate 1 gallon tanks, and my female has a BAD TEMPER, AND KILLED TWO SNAILS THAT I GAVE TO HER AS FRIENDS EACH TIME! My male is quite nicer though

Mei Silja - 7 years ago

You shouldn't house males and females together. The male will chase the female constantly. The female will be unable to eat or rest. Also, guppies are a big no no with a male betta! Their tails mimic another male to well and they will also nip at your male Betta's tail as male guppies do this to each other for dominance. Not good advice.

Gecko Master - 7 years ago

In the wild they live where there is little to no current your Bettas are most likely stressed

Gecko Master - 7 years ago

The current in the aquarium is to fast slow it down

Haodijam Romila - 7 years ago

I don't see your female betta!!!

Casey Godwin - 7 years ago

My male and female bettas not only live together, but hang out together. They swim all over the tank together like a couple of slow moving goldfish. At night we've caught them hunkering down under the same plant, so I think they share the same corner of the tank. They've never mated, and I think at this point they are too old to, so I know it has nothing to do with that. They've been together for over two years now and neither have ever been aggressive to the other. However, my male is aggressive toward the food I feed him, which is hilarious.

Troy and tiny And Jones - 7 years ago

My beta is friendly I put him with 2 goldfish 5 minnows and a turtle and they never fight and ima bout to put in tetras and a guppy whit it

Jenni __ - 7 years ago

That's a terrible combination of fish in that tank. First of all goldfish are cold water fish and bettas are warm water fish they Need separate tanks. And the turtle Also need a separate tank, he'll probably end up trying toeat the fish

SektundSchnee - 7 years ago

The tetras and guppies are schooling fish and need to be in groups of at least six for each species. You're right that dither fish are helpful in some community tanks to draw out timid fish but this Betta (pronounced bet-ta, not bay-ta) splendins may be better without company at all, including the female.

The Budget Aquarist - 7 years ago

checkout my video on 4 bettas...2 males and 2 females... living happily in a 15 gallon tank.

Tahmeed Mazumder - 7 years ago

the Bettas are happy but try to tone the flow rate of your filter down. Bettas are fish of stagnant water. they can do with a bit of flow but not too much. you can just see the Betta beating with it's might here against the current. so think on that

Abigail Gagea - 7 years ago

Now i feel bad. I have a 1 gallon tank (TRUST ME IT'S BIGGER THAN IT SOUNDS) with male and female. They get along well and the male has made nests.

Abigail Gagea - 7 years ago

Do not worry! They have a 7 gallon to themselves now

Jenni __ - 7 years ago

That's horrible

Eagle Nation Percussion - 7 years ago

I have a 10 gal. Tank. Is it alright to keep a male and female betta together in my tank? There's lots of places for them to hide including real and fake plants.

Jenni __ - 7 years ago

No, they should never be kept together. Only females can be kept together but there needs to be at least 5 of them and need a 20 gallon

MacIsNotCool - 7 years ago

Won't they breed though and then you'll get baby betas and you'll have got separate them all

AquariumCop - 7 years ago

Ty for sharing

Kyo Jane - 7 years ago

Unrelated cause i'm not touching the betta part cause theres no way to mention anything on that topic without a comment war hahaha. Just a side note to tell you that little tetra needs friends, they dont do well alone and should never be sold in amounts under 5, but i'm not surprised as i see the damn horror stories about american pet stores, that they would sell a single little tetra.

Miguel Borbon - 7 years ago

Hey guys i just started a sorority tank and they get along pretty well. :)

The Animal Report - 7 years ago

cool video, although this is very risky. I can't even put an apple snail on my female betta's side of the tank without her trying to kill him.

Jack Marriott - 7 years ago

Honestly all you people hating on her, She isn't stupid and knows that if the bettas start to fight that she has to separate them. I'm sure that all you people know what ur talking about and that's why ur so against this, but it's obviously working so back off...

Jenny_ - 7 years ago

Great video! But the bright light of a flash is both very stressing and blinding/ potentially harmful to small animals! (especially fish) so be careful and next time don't do that

Lizzy Busch - 7 years ago

You should never attempt this, unless you are a breeder actively trying for fry. Unless that is the case, go with a couple of 2.5s, or a 20 long sorority.

Tommy Black - 7 years ago

It is pronounced better. It has two ts.

Do not put a male betta in with guppies. Guppies flutter their tails, and the betta will attack.

this is the second video I found that proves bettahs can live in the same tank

XXxX_Jackson 300201 - 7 years ago

and she refuses to look at what I'm showing her

Allison Pets - 7 years ago

I think it's important to mention, it's easier to introduce a female & male that are young + juvenile & slowly grow up together. Also, most importantly, have a PLAN B! Whenever attempting a community betta tank, have a second plan in case things become too agressive! :)

AlienNerd Bae - 7 years ago

I like the way you decorated the tank. Looks like a real home for them.

TheOpelkoenjas - 7 years ago

Can I give you one good advice? Lower the current. Betta fish don't handle strong currents to well at all (stress).

Aqua Akita - 7 years ago

Ha it's a joke... right?

happytroll 247 - 7 years ago

really i heard that you can keep goramie and betta together it only matters what kind they are is this true because ive been wanting to get my betta out of his 2.5 gallon and put him in my 20 gallon with molly,gouramie,goldfish,femail betta and my corries but i dont want to cause any harm to any of my fish and i also want to do this to avoid so much water change can someone plz tell me so i know and can attempt to give my betta a better home thanks

FISH TANK AQUARIUMS - 7 years ago

Nice :)

TheSealGirl Gamer - 7 years ago

the red fish is like hello everyone c:

Mrs. Angel Tong - 7 years ago

the fish look happy but maybe try turning the water flow down a bit betas don't like heavy flows it make it harder for them to swim because their fins aren't as string but other then that its a new ecosystem for them

Coby Williams - 7 years ago

lol those poor things are too worried about trying to swim right with that water flow to flare or nip at eachother. You should tone the filter down with a filter sponge. Then you'll see that they'll have disagreements.

Pranking Vs. Scaring - 7 years ago

DONT PUT THEM TOGETHER UNLESS YOU HAVE A 30+ GALLON TANK!!!

Sabrina - 7 years ago

"My bettas are usually calm"..... ummmmm your betta looks stressed up the ass. It's not good to keep a territorial fish like betta with sooooo many fish

Sherrie Teller - 6 years ago

Sabrina... Why? My betta-boys do! Both live in 2 sep. tanks - "Rocket" babysits a bunch of young guppy 4-6wk. olds and 2 corycats in a 10gal. nursery tank (he's the ultimate doting stepdad - even lets them eat first!!) and "Rusty" lives in a 20gal. with adult guppies and 2 corycats!

Colorado Rose - 7 years ago

I know it's not such a good idea to do this but you're bettas don't seem to mind. No ripped fins, loss of colors, or horizontal stripes. they seem happy to me.

Malin Algehov - 7 years ago

They are not happy. the male is to pale to show real stripes on the body, but you can se that there is a line over his eye, that is probably the only type of tresstripe that you will ever see on him, but it is showing that he is stressed. Either because of the current and the fact that it is hard to swim, or because of the other fishes.

Vine Ball-er - 7 years ago

Americans always say that they love animals, actually they know nothing, this video proved it, betta shouldn't be kept in big Tank with strong water stream like that, they need peace. And in nature, both male and female can live together because they live in big river with weak stream,they always have food when they need. When you keep it Tank like that, they Will be stress

Stacey - 7 years ago

Don't bring America into this .Your country isn't perfect.

Jonathon Lastname - 7 years ago

Gold Fish VietNam K those are natural betta fish. Not betta splendins. Betta splendins were bread specifically for aquariums and HOB filters.

xEndiePearlx - 7 years ago

Gold Fish VietNam really you're judging all of America? Ugh

Cosplay Guru - 7 years ago

Gold Fish VietNam go to the other side of trumps wall then

My Serendipitous Mind - 7 years ago

Oh, yeah, just Americans. Also, it's ALL Americans; an entire country of millions of perfectly like-minded individuals! "Americans ALWAYS." Yes, all of us, all the time! The only country in the world where that occurs apparently. Any moderately-viewed video seems to have at least one "Americans are dumb" comment. It's so popular and fun to bash a country you don't understand. On average the animal care in this country rivals most others. Fish don't commonly have the same intelligence of other animals, so I wouldn't necessarily think this is abuse. Some scientists believe fish don't even feel pain as humans do, but we have more to learn

BeardiesAndBettas - 7 years ago

I'm pretty sure Us Americans are well aware of Betta fish care and where they come from, and yes we do love animals, because the average American owns at least two animals in their household now don't be targeting an entire population based on one video

TheCakeIsAWolf - 7 years ago

Way to generalise an entire population of people with individual ideas and views into one box.

Renigade16 - 7 years ago

Wow, 1st way to judge a country by one video. 2nd good job degrading a young woman who's clearly trying to learn this and help others. You're waste of human life.

Foxgirlgamer - 7 years ago

They are in a big tank so that they won't attack each other so they have their own territory like they do in rice paddies.

FintasticFish - 7 years ago

Neon tetras are schooling fish.

Amir Ayala - 6 years ago

FintasticFish yeah they should be with other neon tetras.

RM Aquatics - 7 years ago

this is the worst advice ever. you're preying on ignorant people who don't know better. keeping them in the same tank is a hell of a lot more complicated than just them fighting or not. you're going to kill your female. so stupid you should be ashamed. do a quick Google search and see what you're putting that poor fish through before you give people horrid advice

Nadia Johst - 7 years ago

in some cases your statement is correct, however I have seen some ppl get their bettas to get along. however I don think that it is worth the risk tbh.

TheAilaS - 7 years ago

Once I put a male and a female betta together in the tank and first looked like they were doing good when I put them together but the next day when I woke up in the morning the male betta was dead She killed him and he was bitten to death. Never again. Now I have a dumbo betta with 2 ghost shrimps. I will never put my betta with any other fishes. He has beautiful healthy fins. He is so happy to have the tank just for himself.

Tommy Black - 7 years ago

Renigade16 - 7 years ago

Wow, way to be a dick. You know you could simply message her some advice if you wanted to help. But you don't, you act like your defending the people, but you don't give a fuck. You just get off ridiculing people to feel better about yourself.

Tropical Tanker - 7 years ago

RM Aquatics How rude! I've kept bettas in the same tank with other fish for well over a year with no fights and not a single death brought on by the betta! You should be ashamed of posting your comment! If you want to say something say it personally and not so the whole world can see it!!!

EmberInWonderland - 7 years ago

Also never had a fish death

UnicornFarts - 8 years ago

My betta is just recivering from breeding. He is recovering in aggresiveness and fin tail damage. My female beat the crap out of my mald cause of how sweet mine is. But my female is nasty and hers beat the crap out of mine and hd is doing well now. He fears fingers though. He did not even get a tiny nip on female betta!

Fish4Ever - 8 years ago

If you want an easy way to keep your plants algae free, I'd recommend a pleco! But be aware some species do get big. So another option would be the otocinclus catfish.

Hunter Lengrand - 8 years ago

That male betta and female betta will one day break into a fight. That is because you need at least 5 female bettas to that male so they don't fight. Nice video, though! :)

They will probably die because egg yolk is too nutritional in some components, and should only be fed to developing fry.
