I think she just read a sighgn at pet smart and then got the fish and forgot to get a tank then got the cheapest one and filled the bowl halfway and then bam she thinks she is an expert poor thing will die because this dumbo belived pet smart

Moonlight Bettas - 7 years ago

It depends on the fish personality, some Bettas can thrive in a 1 gallon, and she doesn't need a heater if she lives in a hotter climate. I still reccomend it though today I'm getting one, a small one will do, also 1 gallon is way better than that cup there sold in.

Tuhin Faiz - 7 years ago

Hey sorry but its not safe for the fish to just pour it in a tank. Make sure to set the bowl or bag on the aquarium water so the temperature of both become the same. Then its safe to set fish free into tank. Or else it causes a shock and stresses the fish.

This tank IS NOT big enough for your betta. I feel so bad that he has to suffer through this, you are a HORRIBLE PET OWNER!!!!!! >:(

Hi , not to be rude but your tank is WAY to small ... If u did the proper research before purchasing a betta you would have found out bettas need 2.5 gallons or more ... Please invest in getting a bigger tank .thanks!

so there is no filter u can just leave them like that

Bettas are one of a hand full of fish that you don't need filters for, but like with all thanks should with no filter, you should change the water a LEAST once a week

Jimin Mochi - 8 years ago

I don't know but it not good to put fish by the window in my opinion but they don't like the sunlight that much

Next time use a plastic bag in the tank to add water, it works and it will keep your plants from being up rooted.

Phoenixttr - 9 years ago

No matter what you say It is a myth. NOTHING and i mean NOTHING. prefers a small habitat. Its like saying humans like living in a closet because they feel more safe. No they dont they feel better in bigger tanks because they can hide when they are scared and or nervous. They also live in rice paddies Yes that is true. BUT those rice paddies stretch from miles. Yes i find it ok to put them in a 1 gallon but they would be much happier in a bigger tank. So dont go around spreading rumors you got from pet stores because it usually isnt true. Not trying to bash anyone but honestly. Btw beautiful betta :)

Ray1624 - 8 years ago

Is this where I say I live in a closet? Lol don't get me wrong I do agree with you, but when you live in a small place, a small tank is sometimes all you can have, where I live the owner said I can only have a 1.5gal or smaller, it sucks, but as long as they seem happy it's ok, my betta knows tricks like to swim threw a hoop for blood warm and eating from a wond, I try and give him stuff to do to fix the small tank problem

cæm - 9 years ago

He looks like my baby Mo. I'm getting that soon. Must have good reviews.

George Frizzell - 9 years ago

That's not true cuz I have rocks with my fish and his friends are very perfect there's nothing wrong with his friends even if they have rock you're very wrong and don't put marbles with them it doesn't think its food and eat it and I'll die she wanted to live for 5 years you have to not put marbles in your cuz I will kill him

The one gallon is still better than the cup, and the bowl looks larger and rounder once you put him in it

I had a female Betta fish and I didn't know at the time that it needed such a big tank and I had .5 gallon bowl for her and she lived up to 3 years. I had no filter or heater. I cleaned her every 5 days and she seemed very happy. I now have a 2.5 heated and filtered tank with my male betta Monti. He is happy and loves to eat.. lol! I love betta fish they bring me so much joy and their colors are just phenomenal!

make an update video showing that the betts fish is alive

Olena Depa - 9 years ago

+Olena Depa Just tried to add new picture, but it does not allow.

Olena Depa - 9 years ago

Yes, care is the most important! I noticed that water in my 3 gallon tank (with heater, filter and light), needs to be replaced more often then in my 1 gallon tank.

TheLastFish - 9 years ago

No i totally agree that having a betta fish in a 1 gallon bowl is fine as long as you maintain it well, iv'e seen betta fish in little bottles that are very healthy and vibrant in color, i believe that tank size is not a major problem with betta fish it's about care

Olena Depa - 9 years ago

+TheLastFish I do not see the reason of making a new video. Maybe new picture! The problem is I am so tired to hear that 1 gallon fish tank is so SMALL. People do not read comments.

Olena Depa - 9 years ago

You are very welcome! I am cleaning it every 10 days now. And it stays clean longer then my 3 gallon tank with beta fish, heater and light.

Michelle Nadwie - 9 years ago

so how often do u clean it just when you see its getting dirty or once a week? and thanks so much for the reply!

Olena Depa - 9 years ago

I am taking my fish out(fish has a tiny tank), then taking the tank from the wall and wash the tank and all items in a tank! In that way it stays clean for long!

AirTran6 - 9 years ago

these people in here trying to tell her this tank is too small? let me tell you my cousins in Vietnam have betta fish and keep them in small jars half the size of her fish tank and guess what? they live 4-6 years! its not about how big the tank is but rather how clean you keep it and maintain a warm temperature.

All you do is keep copying and pasting your same lame excuse as to why you give your Betta such a shitty life. Shame on you. A 2.5 gallon tank is ONLY 15 FUCKING DOLLARS. Cheap ass BITCH.

save up for a 5 gallon the betta looks sad

Louisiaska - 10 years ago

Have you gotten him a bigger tank? 2.5-10 gallons is the best for bettas. 76-82°F [25-30°C] is the best temperature for a betta so heaters are necessary. Stores shouldn't sell such tiny tanks. All they care about is the money. So many people are uneducated about bettas so that's why people buy these tiny bowls. So the stores make money and continue to sell the product... sad. I can't really blame people though. They just don't know.
Sorry if you are unable to reply. I don't know why it does that sometimes. Feel free to post on my channel if you want to reply.

Dan M. - 10 years ago

You can get a 2.5 gal for the same price as this piece of crap. Im sorry to say this, and I know there is a reason why you are using this bowl... Economic or whatever. But your betta will live a very short and sad life. He/she will have lack of oxygen, no where to swim, and no where to hide when he is scared, and his own discharge will build up ammonia and kill him. This thing is impossible to cycle! I'm so sorry for this fish, its like he's in one of those gross little bowls they keep the bettas in in petco and Petsmart all over again. This is no better than those bowls.

AlexandrasPets - 10 years ago

Wrong, so wrong!! :/ bettas need AT LEAST 2.5 gallon tank, filter and a heater to live a good life. This is just awful and breaks every rule about owning a betta. Get thst poor fish a bigger tank, filter, heater and some plants. And NEVER pour a fish into the new tank! Please do research before you teach others.

Mario Santos - 10 years ago

I can see how people see this as cruelty but at the end it doesn't matter is not like she is doing a bad thing she rescued a betta and thats all that matters and what it she supposed to do? Let that beautiful fish die in a cup in a fish store that would never we loved? I think as long as they live in a place bigger than a cup they are doing something good plus not everyone has the money to buy a fancy 20 gallon whit heater and filtration yet they try trust me if i had enough money i would buy all the fancy stuff but i don't so yeah .

Liam Bruso - 10 years ago

They spend their lives in small cups because no one understands the proper husbandry of these fish. Generally speaking, anything under 2.5 gallons is inadequate, and you don't even have a heater or filter in there. I doubt you could even fit a good filter in there with out killing the damned thing. The tank is so small that ammonia levels will build up... FAST. You should be doing water changes every 1-2 days. I appreciate the live plant but over all I do not see this as an overarching success. At the very least that betta will live, but who's to say I couldn't live in a 3 by 3 room my whole life.

Olena Depa - 10 years ago

Thank you! This fish spend all their lives in small cups, until someone bring them home!

Cookie Monster - 10 years ago

That's way to all for any fish. The only reason they sell these small tanks is because the make more profit off of them. They know ppl will think its easier to care for a fish in that. Ppl don't wanna spend more money on proper tanks and filters cuz it's more and the sellers know that's so they sell these small tanks cuz they ppl will prefer their even though this is not a proper home to keep a fish happy.

Mafe :3 - 10 years ago

Very pretty tank!BUT you should buy a mini heater betas are tropical fish,and feed him blood worms not the dried up blood worms the frozen kind betas are carnivores.Your beta looks very happy imagine it being in a TINY little cup to this it must be a mansion to him. HE looks very happy just get the heater ! You should name him Cosmo. ;-)

But he does need a heater.

ReviewCam - 9 years ago

+Uggsieluv 347 Goldfish are fresh water and don't need a heater because they're cold water fish. Bettas are freshwater and need a heater because they're tropical.

Mafe :3 - 10 years ago

They are frshwater tropical fish so they need a heater

my.lean - 10 years ago

i know you might feel attacked with everyone coming on here and telling you that this tank is too small and you probably care a lot about your fish but the truth i that this tank is completely inadequate. bettas in the wild do tend to be found in shallow bodies of water but those bodies of water that they live in can stretch on for miles. they are tropical fish, they need a heater, and a tank that small is hard to heat. bettas are also know for jumping out of their tanks, so it is advised that betta owners have tanks with lids it's better to be safe than sorry. also, keeping a fish with even the simplest of sponge filters is just not okay, that on gallon bowl with fill with toxins, and rotting food faster than you think. a bowl that size should be changed twice a week to ensure good water quality and doing that many changes causes unnecessary tress on your fish. yes he may be able to live in that bowl little, but what kind of life will he have?

SugarBear Kwan - 10 years ago

But you also put glass ones too!

SugarBear Kwan - 10 years ago

Exactly, just a little bit of glass is fine

Olena Depa - 10 years ago

Just little bit! And after I recorded this video, I took half of those rocks away from the tank. Now it has just small amount to hold the plant!

SugarBear Kwan - 10 years ago

Why would you put plastic rocks and glass rocks, when you could just put glass rocks since it is a wall mounted fish bowl?

Olena Depa - 10 years ago

Plastic ones are not so heavy as glass ones!

SasuNaru and other junk Dogs anime animal crossing - 10 years ago

Yea they do sell 5 gal tanks and the tank i got too in my channel

Olena Depa - 10 years ago

I wonder, WHY pet stores sell betta fish tanks that are 0.5, 1 or 2.5 gallons. And they call those Betta fish tanks. And you will not find 5 or more gallon fish tank where it says "Betta fish tank". Probably the problem with the size of betta fish tank is in pet stores and their commercial

I don't understand for the life of me why pet stores can't keep them in 0.5 or one gallon bowls until they're sold, and these stores should keep track of how many they sell, and not purchase more from the breeders than they expect to sell.

Olena Depa - 9 years ago

+Olena Depa This bettas never know what is the wild life. You can find on YouTube video how they live their life from the very first day, AND IT IS A TINY CUP!!! All their life in a tiny cup, until you buy them! No heater, no filter, no space, no even leaf for rest! And no love too!

+Mark .K Rice paddies in Vietnam are about four feet deep and acres long.

ReviewCam - 9 years ago

+Olena Depa True, and a 0.5 seems large compared to the tiny cups they're kept in at the stores. I've been to a non-chain pet store and they keep their bettas in 1 gallons so anything over 1 gallon is obviously better than the cup or a 0.5 g.

Mark .K - 9 years ago

they live in rice patties in Vietnam... I think that 1 gallon is more than enough

AlexandrasPets - 9 years ago

+Taylor Harris Yeah, i think 2.5 gallon is a perfect size for a betta male. not for a femal though. my betta fish breeder says the same. the males in the wild arent swimming mile to mile all day. they actually find a little area where they "live" in, blow some bubblesnests and then they are hanging around that spot in wait for a woman to mate. they dont need 100 gallon aquariums, they dont like that. :)

Hey I can clearly see that you care about your fish and you do want the best for it but even without the ornaments or rocks in it the tank is still too crowded, I suggest going down to your local pet store and buy a new fish tank maybe at least 5 gallons they only cost around £40 with the heater and filter of which the betta needs and if you don't live somewhere near a pet store try buying one online:)

I just did a research and found Marina® Betta Submersible Aquarium Heater with good reviews (and it has betta fish picture on the box :) ) I might get one too!!!

Blenny Boy - 10 years ago

I would suggest just getting a cheap filter and heater, make sure the filter isn't to strong

Q J - 10 years ago

What's the best tank/heater/filter to get for bettas? Mine (about 1 year old) lives in the kitchen in a .5 gallon, but I'm worried about the temp. not being right and the size of his home being too small. We change about 70% of the water every 5-7 days and he seems happy/healthy, growing large and very social. I would like to upgrade his home to ensure he continues to live a long happy life.

Olena Depa - 10 years ago

The temperature in the house is very good, so the tank does not need a heater. Fish looks absolutely healthy and happy. If I find any changes in his behavior or how he looks like, I will buy heater!!!

1Xander100 - 10 years ago

Only thing I hate about those wall mounted ones is people tend not to put heaters in them. Bettas are tropical fish and require certain temperatures to stay healthy - when the temperatures are too low their immune system lowers as well as their metabolism slows down and they slowly die. These fish can live 5 - 10 years with proper care, but most think they live a short while due to the myth they can live in bowls with little water change and no heater.

Otherwise, it's a pretty set up, love the idea of the felt in the back and I hope him being in your kitchen (usually the warmest room in the house) helps keep him warm enough to live a long, healthy life for you. You have done everything else spot on, good job :)

Olena Depa - 10 years ago

Thank you! And yes, he is in the kitchen and we heat our house with the wood burning stove. So it is always good temperature in our house, warmer then when you have central heating (because we have 3 little daughters). That is why I did not put the heater. I also have 20 gallon fish tank, with heater,...for fresh water fish. And I noticed that the heater turns on very rarely ( room temperature is good). So he is doing good! Very active, nice color, eating well, communicate good!

Olena Depa - 10 years ago

He has enough space to live a happy live. I have there just rocks and small live plant (which he likes). And half of the rocks I took away, after I recorded a video. He is doing great! Hope he will live a long and happy live. I will do my best!

Flameheart FL - 8 years ago

......A ten gallon Is probably the same price if you get it by itself. And yes, he can LIVE in it, but he won't be HAPPY in something that small. Even if you clean it often, that poor fish has no mental or physical stimulation. Also, rounded tanks can be very disorienting for the fish. Please actually do research. I appreciate you giving it a home, though! It is probably happier than where it was before, but you could make it even happier! :) Please have a good day and enjoy your fish.
