Glad i found you on here from google and i subscribed. You got some videos on bettas i noticed.
Love your cats too.. Cats are just brilliant pets... Yeah i got gourami and fighter fish so the female is with is with them now and they get on well.. She and the dwarf are pretty close some days

Will E Smith - 6 years ago

Thats what i got a metallic colour betta male... "PRANG" and Mai my female has bullied him because he is a little fish and just hangs at the top of the tank on his side mostly. Yeah i been out for couple of days so my family just put bit of food in while I'm gone and i noticed today getting in that most of his fins are gone. I moved him to a bowl and just hope he will recover as he is still very active and has had no problem swimming to eat food. Feel sorry for him.

Creative Pet Keeping - 6 years ago

To prevent infections, I would change the water in the bowl at least every other day. He can grow back his fins over time

Priscilla Watson - 6 years ago

any pics of the damaged fish? what treatment worked? how long did the treatment last? how did you know the fish was cured? how long will it take fr the fin to regrow? thanks

Creative Pet Keeping - 6 years ago

Keeping the fish in clean water with indian almond leaf extract seems to work best. Their fins regrew in a few weeks. I dont have photos but you can see the changes in videos after this one.

I have a Betta with a white patch between his eyes starting to form and it’s looking slightly flaky, what do I do?

How about both?

Haley Hernandez - 6 years ago

+creative pet keeping do you have any opinions on the medicine product betta revive? My betta is currently sick. His fins are a little broken and he has the "Popeye" disease (bulging eyes of course) if you have used betta revive can you tell me if it is actually good or not?

Rightful Ruler - 7 years ago

So my betta fish didn’t have fin rot (he had no other symptoms of fin rot) and started loosing his back fin. I noticed it when I was changing his water

Do they lose there fin while stressed and if so do they gain it back?

G Fi - 7 years ago

What did you use for treatment?

Or you can build a mock up bonsai tree like I did :3

My betta does the same thing with the dragon he swims in and out but he started to tear his find on the teeth so we had to take it out.

Angie Camacho - 7 years ago

Hi just wanted to ask what I should do to my betta he's a half moon double talk and he's biting his fins he doesn't have infection but his fins look messed up and they look like they tear where he bites them what should I do

Hillary for President - 7 years ago

The best way to avoid torn or rot fins is put the betta in a bare bottom round tank without decorations like the professional betta fish farmers in Thailand. Their long fins are constantly rubbing the gravel and decorations that is why their fins are torn.
Torn fins will promote fin rot.

Shawnlyq - 7 years ago

Waoh insane! Long finned betta or short finned?

raspberrypixel - 7 years ago

I have the same dragon decoration and my betta does the same thing! too cute!

How do you help a betta grow their fins back? I'd like to know in detail how to do so. I have a betta who nipped at his fins a lot and I don't exactly know how to help him grow them back.

D r . S p u d - 7 years ago

The betta on the left side of the tank looks almost just like mine!

Inked Out - 7 years ago

What kind of water is the beta in with the other little fish?

Cassandra's Zoo - 8 years ago

Did us use any medications for the fin rot? I have a ten gallon with a betta fish I got from a friend who wasn't caring for him. He has fin rot. I have been using aquarium salt and doing a 15% every 4 days. I have been doing this for almost three weeks and it is still progressing. Is there anything else I can do?

D r . S p u d - 7 years ago

Jen Ocean Probably, but I don't remember any more because Gary finished recovering from the fin damage when I bought him a long time ago.

Jen Ocean - 7 years ago

Do you mean teaspoon?

D r . S p u d - 7 years ago

Keep the water clean and add one table spoon of aquarium salt per gallon :)

hanna berg - 8 years ago

more betta vids pls!!!! :D

Steven Van - 8 years ago

The number 1 cause of fin rot is filthy water. If you neglect 10% to
20% water changes weekly and routine filter maintenance , fin rot is
your reward.

Mr Foxii - 8 years ago

how you flare them? or they flare everytime? because of that mesh they can see each other?

Ann Holms - 8 years ago

I have a used to be beautiful blue and white half moon betta, when we finstalled got him he was put in a tank with other small guppies. It wasn't a problem until the guppies got bigger. Then I noticed the fin nipping. O good portion of the white ringold around his back find is now gone. I now have him in his very own secluded tank where I change the water everyday and treat it, he also has a soft soft lily pad to rest on towards the top where he likes it. He is on a diet of blood worms, brine shrimp, and once in a while if I'm out the dry people betta food. Now almost 4 months later I'm seeing no improvement in the fins , any idea what I can do to help him out? He's not sick he still has plenty of personality, he just looks really bad now.

Peg Sesztak - 8 years ago

Creative pet keeping, please try to reply to everyone who is asking you questions about their pets issues as they're really looking for some assistance, if you don't bother to reply you might loose subscribers. Just a suggestion as I have seen this happening before.

Oscar Hernandez - 8 years ago

I need help guys, I have a betta thats going thru fin rot. I have a sponge filter with it because he cant swim good. He's in a divided 25 gallon tank and gets a little more then 5 gallons. I do water changes 2 times a week and was wondering if there are any tips or products to speed up the recovering process.

D r . S p u d - 7 years ago

Add aquarium salt! it both helps recover illnesses/injuries and prevent them.

BIGBROWN138 - 8 years ago

nope just keep the water clean and "fresh" do lots of water changes.

Shaye Evans - 8 years ago

Have you ever had one with fins that appear glued together?

BIGBROWN138 - 8 years ago

"glued" if your fish's fins seem "glued" together then the fish is stressed. whether it be water quality or bullying from other fish.

Lovebetta - 8 years ago

Subscribed. Can you make tutorial how to quarantine Betta or fresh water fish like guppies. I am new in the hobby. I have saltwater only in the pass 3 years. Ty

Badas Dark - 8 years ago

Do fish videos and also your other cute pets so its balance.

SaS MaKaveLi - 8 years ago

Your beta fish are beautiful I have a question, my male beta fish got trapped behind my filter and his fins are all torn and they looked clamped do you have any advice on what I can do to help him any advice I would really appreciate it thank you

BIGBROWN138 - 8 years ago

don't know if you fixed the problem but one good water to help heal bettas or any fish for the matter is good water quality. and having a heater as well as some good food. do that and your fish should spring back to life.

leilani truso - 8 years ago

Willow Tree - 8 years ago

Hello, I am new and love your channel! ^^ I was also wondering, I have a male (viel beta, I believe) beta with ripped fins. I had done some research on the subject and many viedos said to gently apply peroxide with a Q-tip. But when I did this I didn't see any bubbles foaming up so I didn't really evidence of an infection. I was wondering if there could be causes of ripped fins other than fin rot and what I can do about it. He spends almost all of his time near the surface or hiding, but every now and then he'll come out and see whats up with world; he seems to be able to swim fine when he does.

Willow Tree - 8 years ago

+BIGBROWN138 i see, thank you for your input! i think it might be the other fish but i got a divider now.

BIGBROWN138 - 8 years ago

if he's in a community tank it's cause the fish are bullying him. if he's not, plastic plants that have sharp edges can tear fins easily. lastly poor water quality causes betta fins to disintegrate rapidly especially if he's in a bowl and not a tank.

ASaintBernardExperience With Chuck! - 8 years ago

They are gorgeous! We may have to invest into a tank!

Brooke Tauscher - 8 years ago

i have a similar looking fish to the one on the left of the one with the white divider. i also have the same plants in my fish tank but without duck weed but i want duck weed. also i like all your vids not just fish ones

Eric - 8 years ago

Guys so I have a filter but the water seems to be getting dirty again after 4 days is this a problem or should I just get another filter

Bluir - 8 years ago

I have actually watched this 3 times. I really like your set ups! They are very pretty and look very well maintained and cared for. And your bettas are gorgeous! :)

Creative Pet Keeping - 8 years ago

Thank you! I'm glad that you like my tanks and fish :D

Kinda Blake - 8 years ago

Can a African dwarf frog stay in a tank with a betta. And how do I tell how agressive my betta is?

Kinda Blake - 8 years ago

I dont have any other fish in there with him. So I think I will put the frog in the water (In the bag) And see how he acts. If he flares alot and chases him after I release the frog, I will move him into a 5 gallon tank I have in my garage! Thanks for the help! :)

Kinda Blake - 8 years ago

Thanks!

Creative Pet Keeping - 8 years ago

I have never owner an African Dwarf frog so I don't but with regards to aggression maybe this video will help: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QSdzXhAPaWI

iPodFayne - 8 years ago

What causes fin rot? Both my male betta and one of my three females were sinking a little while back and their fins looked off, especially the color. They're both not quite back to normal but doing better than before (I reduced food a bit because I suspected that the autofeeder I used while on a week vacation caused this).

+Creative Pet Keeping wish I could get some of those here I live. I had a bad experience with someone shipping me some so I'm skittish now about buying over the net

Creative Pet Keeping - 8 years ago

I have simple low light plants. Duckweed, anubis, jungle val, moss balls. Thats all the names I can remember atm.

kingdomriver1 - 8 years ago

I came to your channel for the fish videos originally, but I do enjoy most of what you put out. So make whatever makes YOU happy!

Creative Pet Keeping - 8 years ago

I'm glad! While I like making fish videos... covering a variety of topics keeps me from burning out. :D

Poorstargazer23 - 8 years ago

Poorstargazer23 - 8 years ago

How do you best deal with algae?

Poorstargazer23 - 8 years ago

+Creative Pet Keeping Ah, I usually have the light on for 10-12 hours. I will cut it back a bit. Thanks.

Creative Pet Keeping - 8 years ago

For starters controlling how much light ur tank gets helps. I have a timer on my light for 8 hours and it turns my light on and off for me on its own. Regularly cleaning the filter and doing water changes also helps. If too much nutrient gather in the tank it can cause an algae bloom.

Duddles B - 8 years ago

So happy, that your Bettas are all on the mend. <3
I enjoy watching all of your videos, none of them more than any other, because each of them has their own charm. Banana is cute and funny, Mochi is fluffy and cute, Littlefoot and Mucki are both adorable and fun to watch, and your fishies are amazing. :) I really love them all.

Duddles B - 8 years ago

That's what I love about them too. :) Each of them is unique and has a different personality to show. <3

Creative Pet Keeping - 8 years ago

I'm so glad! I like sharing all of my pets as I think they are each equally special in their own ways ^_^

Veve Priezviskova - 8 years ago

Hi, please what's the name of the silver-black fish with stripes that appear after 2:55? My store sells them and I'd like to get them but I don't know their name to check their requirements. Want to make sure they are compatible with my tank. Thank you.

Veve Priezviskova - 8 years ago

thank you for response :)

Creative Pet Keeping - 8 years ago

Those are tiger barbs. They are schooling fish (keep more then 3) and are a bit aggressive fin nippers. They are really fast and fun though...full of personality.

Hanne_the_golden - 8 years ago

Adding small amount of aquarium salt will help kill the bacteria that cause fin rot and frequent water changes. This site should help you better understand it: http://bettasplendid.weebly.com/fin-rot-101.html

Well, I don't watch all your dog videos because I don't have a dog but if you make cat videos, I would watch!!! LITTLE FOOT WAS SO CUTE!!! (Was that his/her name?)

I'm wondering how big is your tank with the demon betta?

Do you let your guppy fry grow? What will you do if your tank becomes overstocked? I know demon eats some of the fry, like you mentioned.

Creative Pet Keeping - 8 years ago

I will try to make some kitty related videos :) I have a few older ones that star Littlefoot and Muki such as: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_qwZGUkWceo
When I have too many guppies then I give them away to friends who have tanks. The Demon betta tank is 20 gallons :)

Creative Pet Keeping - 8 years ago

My males seem to get bored of each other. They flare for about a week or two and they realize they cannot get to each other so they give up. I'll try to make some more videos with my kitties ...there seems to be a lack of kitty videos :P

i do prefer fish videos since thats my hobby, but i don't mind the other content as well.

Blue Ice - 8 years ago

+Inti Amaterasu I didn't even notice this was from 3 weeks ago. So did they get along well?

Inti Amaterasu - 8 years ago

i'll post an update on my betta community tank. its a 55gal. completely planted, with 1 male betta, 1 female, 6 angels, 2 glow light tetras, a handful of oto cats. thinking of adding some more tetras.

Blue Ice - 8 years ago

+Amanda Donaghy I suggest you use that 5 gallon as a plan B in case the betta was aggressive. Some people even buy 2 bettas and keep the calm one in a community and the aggressive one in extra tank. You can also keep your fish in a container and see how he reacts with them. He will most likely flare in the first few minutes, but you should check him after 15 or 30 minutes. Then you can add him in the tank. I would suggest you add the other fish first so he doesn't take any territory first. Think about more possibilities if possible. As mentioned above, I also suggest a well planted tank for hide spots.

Inti Amaterasu - 8 years ago

20 gals might not be enough for all that. you will have to have it heavily planted (lots of hiding spaces) depending on the aggressive level of the betta

Amanda Donaghy - 8 years ago

Yes please make more fish videos! I love your girly touch. I'm new to this fish stuff, My sister got my girls a 5 gallon tank, I took over and am in the process of cycling a 20 gallon to try and have a community tank with guppies, A BETTA, and I was given 3 palatties(babies)! Did I mention a BETTA so can't wait!

Inti Amaterasu - 8 years ago

or dogs. i train them :)

Creative Pet Keeping - 8 years ago

I'll try to make more fishy videos then :) I still enjoy making video about other pets as well... so hopefully I find a good balance.
