Moss balls don't do well in water over 60 degrees.
Marimo or moss balls in the wild are only found in icy cold water in Iceland, Scotland, Estonia, and Japan.
I had 12 moss balls in 10 years and they always ended up looking like a rug covered with algae a few months later.
Suppliers of these moss balls are dishonest they won't tell the customers they need to be kept under 60 degrees water.
Moss balls are not hardy and they need cold water to do well.
Moss balls are algae magnets unless you have a machine to roll them 24-7 in cold icy water.

Beautiful betta fish. But I have some questions: 1. that looks like a lot of bloodworms for one fish ... they told me between 3-6 worms depending on the temperature of the tank. 2. I have several male bettas but one is particularly old and he lost color at the base of his tail, his behavior has changed over the years. he is more aggressive and does not swim a lot anymore. I had to remove his two tank mates (corydoras aureatus), they were with him for more than three years. He has a large planted tank , filtration and hiding places. He is over six years now (exact age unknown, I bought him as an adult).

It's worth noting that bulldogs weren't bred for the appearance of the scrunched up face, they were bred for the functionality of it. They were bred to fight bulls and the shorter snouts help them to gain leverage on whatever they're fighting.

I'm not trying to be mean so no misjudges please. I wonder if those scales are part of the eye retina or they just cover the eye. If the second is the case, is it possible to peal off that particular scale in a fish safety mode? Fish lose scales throughout their lives and grow them back slowly.
Sylvester Shan

Aye Richard looks exactly the same as my fighting fish, and yes he also has diamond eye too. But some weird thing is that my fish's right eye "pops", I didn't take a closer look yet since I just saw it, but I can see the pupil clearly. Beforehand it was semi covered, you can still sort of see the pupil, but now you can see it clearly. I'm not too sure what happened, water parameters seems good, it's not pop eye either, and it did happen before to the left eye, but the left eye is now covered up again. There are no sharp objects in the tank either, i'm not sure but he is still acting normal and eating normal, which i guess is a good thing.
Karen Vandevander
Karen Vandevander - 6 years ago
Such a shame about Richard's eyes. I'm thinking the only way to rectify the scale issue would be to physically remove the scales covering the eyes. That would definitely require special and expensive equipment, and very steady hands. Hopefully the scales will not completely cover his eyes.

I was hoping you were going to breed Richard as he is beautiful; however, is this a trait you want to perpetuate? Personally, I would not breed him, but I'd keep him as a pet.

I have the same aquarium but the 20 gallon version. I haven't set it up yet because I'm stuck with the glass lid that has black on it so my Fluval LED gets blocked. I see you either got a custom one made or found the exact same lid but a clear version! If you could point me in the right direction mate that would be amazing. Also good luck with Richard and the move!

The producer of this video bought a betta who had poor genetic material and has scales growing over his eyes.
So you say, "Oh, he takes good care of his betta and gives him the right things he needs to survive and thrive, but unfortunately bought a bad betta. I guess because he takes good care of his betta I better hate on him. What's something wrong with his betta? Oh, he just so happened to buy a betta with bad breeding and genetics, so i should hate on him for not being able to see the genes in the betta when he decided to buy it!"
To be honest I don't care about this Youtube video producer at all, but still. You're just trying to justify your abuse without putting thought into your statements.

Can you not surgically remove the scales? Before he does go blind you should get a feeding ring(if the food is floating pellets or flakes) and only feed there.

My sweet little Betta girl went blind and I spoon fed her very successfully :) She knew to come to the top and get her food off of her spoon. I also used the large aquascaping tweezers when I fed her blood worms or flake food by just dangling it infront of her face. I hope that helps. Betta's are very smart and they blow my mind each day with how adaptable they are :)

AQUAPROS, I would reach out to Inglorious Bettas (Gianne) or Betta Territory (Joep Van Esch). Both are incredibly knowledgeable about Bettas and have been breeding/showing them for years. They should be able to help you sort through the contradicting info. I believe that Cory McElroy had a few videos with Gianne and may be able to put you in contact with her. If you're interested in Facebook groups, Betta Breeders United and Bettas 4 All are great groups! Wishing you and Richard all the best!

This scape seems to be the most successful because you didn't spend too much time on it. All the other scapes start out looking great and end up being an overgrown disaster. I think you should leave it as it is especially since Richard is losing his sight. He needs stability

It's called "Diamond Eye." We think it's a bummer, but in reality, the fish doesn't even care, or notice really. The majority of them can still see (a little, anyway) even with a full scale over their eye.
Kenneth Reyes
Kenneth Reyes - 6 years ago
Mike Bircher because if it did care it would try to scratch the eye area often.
MirelurkQueen
MirelurkQueen - 6 years ago
Richard is like my boy amaryllis, losing his sight. One thing I do for amaryllis is i got a bright colored ring to float on his water and i always drop my food in the ring. I also tap the glass lightly before i drop the food in. At this point, i just have to tap the glass and he knows to go to the ring to get his food. Another thing with blind bettas is to keep the tank setup pretty much the same so that they dont get confused and bump into everything once they lose their sight.

Caudopunk - 6 years ago

K o r i c - 6 years ago
The betta in my profile picture went mostly blind. I don't have any advice as to avoiding the issue, but when you notice their sight going, it's a good idea to start training your fish to come up to the top if you tap lightly. I trained my guy here, and it made feeding him much easier. The metallic in his body also caused him to develop a build up/tumor on his side that ended up fairly sizable (This was simply the opinion of me and several other betta community enthusiasts). He almost lived to four years old. I don't know that ethically I'd buy another high-metallic or dragonscale again even though it is very doable to keep them.

I'm conflicted on the issue. On the one hand, this was my first fish and bettas are still probably the ideal introduction to the hobby, but the breeding practices and the way they are sold to the public are very questionable sometimes.

I have a Paradise male—-not a dragon scale—-that has a terrible vision problem. I have to feed his frozen food to him with tweezers right in front of him. Try to feed him bug bites, but he has a difficult time seeing it and doesn’t see it unless it is falling......even at that, he loses them. I have a feeding saucer in the bottom of his habitat and try to feed over it so food will fall into it. He’s kind of taught himself to look in it for food. Richard is so pretty. Hope he’ll adjust, and think he will.

75g Discus Tank - 6 years ago
Try training your betta with establishing a feeding spot before he can’t see.

When he can’t see, it will be hard for him to get food.

For now, only feed food in one spot and shine a flashlight in the spot before feeding.

Before he becomes blind, he will associate the light in the corner with food.

When he becomes blind, he will still be able to kinda see light through the scales.

Shining the flashlight will get his attention and he will remember that the light means food.

When he is blind, he will hopefully swim to the spot.

This will help with helping Richard locate his food.

Andy Pastuszak healing would mean the scales would grow back making the procedure more painful that it needs to be. Being blind won't be the end of him since he can be trained to eat at a certain part of the tank. Decorations can be changed to adapt to his inability to see, too.

The fish will heal, and the pain will subside. But at least the fish would be able to see again.

Andy Pastuszak being such a small fish it would be almost impossible and I would imagine it would be very painful for the fish

If his eyes are covered can you do surgery on the fish to remove those scales?
My grandpa used to do that with his wish if they had the same problem .

The fish is so small that it would be very hard to remove those scales without damaging the fish

Oh nooo! I'm sorry to hear it did happen. My Red dragon is the same, partially blind in now both eyes. I haven't tried the Indian almond leaves. But Sesshomaru is really happy in the platy tank, lots of room to explore.

Who cares, people have different pronunciations. I say it as 'be-ta'.

Correct. That's what I said. bay-tah is the second letter of the Greek alphabet. The soft e (bet-tah) is the fish in the video.
