My betta fish has a growing mass on his side, does anyone have an idea of what it could be? It has actually ripped before so don't think it is a tumour. Any help will be appreciated thank you :)

juniper kiwi - 7 years ago

Mysmall petshop maybe a parasite?

Really love your channel! I keep sharing, and sharing all your videos. I've started my own betta breeding, and I swear your channel is my new religion. Keep it up! Thanks for putting all the time and effort into your videos. (Can't wait to make future purchases, too!!)

Awesome video! My females all get along pretty well, I lost a beautiful red one to dropsy myself once, so sad

Hey creative pet keeping this video is a year old and I'm new subscriber xD so I just like to watch your vids, yesterday I went to pet land and looked at the beta section, once I saw a koi female betta i was like omg I gotta get that but sadly my 80 gallon was going to be filled with different types of angelfish along with some gouramis. About 1-2 years ago I had a male and female betta the male sadly passed away after 8-9 months I felt really bad but my female was really playful until she got dropsy D: I didn't find out she was in pain until I went to feed her and she wasn't acting right, some people said that she would pass away in 3-4 months. But surprisingly she lived another 7-8 months. I hope no one else experiences this

I have a 15 gallon tank and want to do a betta sorority, but do you think that I should start with guppies or bettas. I was planning on doing a similar set up.

zioro1235 - 7 years ago

R A T L O V E R 14 maybe guppies

Tyler Hayden - 7 years ago

R A T L O V E R 14 if i was you i would start with guppies (im making a betta sorority first because ive done tons of research) its mainly because ive done lots of research

SolidGoldShows - 7 years ago

You don't have a cover on your aquarium?

melanie lololol - 7 years ago

I trimmed my Betty's tail because his fin rot wasn't getting better even though I was treating it with aquarium salt. His fins are not growing back. Can you tell me why or someone reply to me why

forever.love.animals xoxo - 7 years ago

melanie lololol You should NOT have cut off your betta's tail. This can stress them out, affect their swimming, and cause them to be in great discomfort. It's just like cutting off human limbs but inhumanly.

Yen Xion - 7 years ago

my tank is 48 litres and i have a betta. he ate my cherry shrimp but leaves my cardinal tetras alone and my plecos! should i give it a go with guppies??

Robert Gillard - 7 years ago

that fish tank is breathtaking I love bettas and Guppies I think they're the most beautiful Heavenly fish with colors of the Unseen I has ever seen they are full Rich and deserve a beautiful tank like that and keep your water filled to the top so they have plenty of room to swim, Guppies and bettas are my favorite fish in the world they have unique unseen Heavenly colors like no other breed of fish in the world

Sabine Leffler - 7 years ago

My Betta had dropsy and wasn't doing well at all. I did Epsom salt baths 5 nights in a row and he was doing much better. That was back in December 2016. So would highly suggest it .

April M - 7 years ago

What size tank do you have?

Tam Lewis - 7 years ago

why can't you put 2 males together if you can put females together?

Gustabo Amaya - 7 years ago

Tam Lewis This is because the females can establish which one is the alpha out of their group and be fine with it but the males will always be trying to become alpha because they are extremely territorial

Gustabo Amaya - 7 years ago

Tam Lewis because males are much more aggressive towards each other then females are, there is no chance for two or more males to get along but there is for females.

Sian Hingston - 7 years ago

how many litres is this tank please?

Annie Hurley - 7 years ago

hey there! I have a 20 gallon long tank; fairly heavily planted and with a ton of caves and hidey holes (lol). for nine months, I've been keeping a female betta in the company of other fish (not other bettas, mind you). three of her tank mates are being upgraded to a 55g and she will be left with 5 corydoras.
so, my question is this: can I add four females to her tank, even though she has been living there so long? she's so used to company and has always been the LEAST aggressive fish in the tank by far, so that gives me hope. thoughts?
xoxox

Donna - 7 years ago

Annie Hurley Short answer, yes, you need at least 5 females for a sorority to lessen the aggression ( more the better which will stop any singling out). They may nip/fight at first but this is common; they're just finding their way with who is higher up in hierarchy.

Abby c - 8 years ago

Would two female bettas be good in a 10 gallon heavily planted tank with some guppies?

Donna - 7 years ago

Abby c Not 3!! you need at least 5 minimum for a sorority, more the better as it lessens the aggression, stick with odd numbers like 5, 7, 9 and so on.

Abby c - 7 years ago

Okay, I knew two would not be good, because those two could possibly fight with each other, and with three it is spread out. Befana is a really calm betta she completely ignores other fish, but is very curios and loves to explore. Max (short for maxie) is a little more in your face betta that will chase fish if they get in her area, but she doesn't nip. befana doesn't really care and she just goes with the flow.

Mr. Purple - 7 years ago

Abby c no, you need at least 3 because that'll spread out the aggression more. And a 20 gallon is best for sororities. A 10 gallon might work but is more risky.

alec brown - 8 years ago

btw the fish in the holding tank that might be pregnant is a koi

SUG1MARA Ishamura - 8 years ago

better but please don't recommend anything smaller than a 10 gallon for these fish

Insanious - 7 years ago

I recommend 20+ gallon tanks if you want a sorority tank. :)

Kyle Baranovich - 8 years ago

what size tanks ?????

Mr. Purple - 7 years ago

Kyle Baranovich I believe that's a 20 gallon high.

Mr. Meeseeks - 8 years ago

I have a 30gal overstocked tank with goldfish that I'm giving away to a guy. But I have a Siamese algae eater that the lady at the petstore said could be with goldfish but when I looked it up today it said tropical. I want to start a beta sorority in the 30 gal tank when the goldfish are gone. Can I put the Siamese algae eater in it? Also what other fish do you recommend?

Donna - 7 years ago

Caitlin Whoo Yes the SEA can live with a sorority of bettas, just make sure it's heavily planted with places to hide.

NE0327able - 8 years ago

i want a sorority tank! how many gallons should i get ? and what should i put in my 3 gallon tank for male dragon betta? i dont know what plants to get he has a log and to betta tank buddies

Mena D Love - 8 years ago

u have bettas together in one tank I thought u couldn't put bettas together kuz they fight n will kill each other im juz asking kuz I have a female betta

Annie Hurley - 7 years ago

Merina Nelson I have had my female betta for nine months with, get this, two goldfish. not recommended for people who don't obsess over caring for their tanks. there's now also five corydoras. the betta is in fact the MOST relaxed fish in the tank. have ideally 20 gallons, maintain ideal water parameters, provide live plants and lots of hiding spaces. never keep bettas with fish that look like them, as that prompts them to attack. don't keep male and female bettas together, they will breed and that's a traumatic event honestly lol
you can keep female bettas together, with caution! five minimum, again with TONS of hiding spaces. xoxox

Hannah Renee - 7 years ago

Merina Nelson What language are you attempting to speak

Mr. Purple - 7 years ago

Merina Nelson you need a large tank to put multiple female bettas together. You must have AT LEAST a 10 gallon although a 20 is recommended as it can allow more room for them and you need a minimum of 3 female bettas, 5 being ideal.

Willy Fincher - 8 years ago

It is a misconception
I have 2 Arowana's in same aquarium with other fishes and as far as the other fish are as strong as arowana
They don't mess with them

CharmingBettas - 8 years ago

Can you put 3-4 females in a five gallon?

Mr. Purple - 7 years ago

It's also possible in a 10 gallon but definitely not recommended and a lot more risky

Mr. Purple - 7 years ago

Fins FurLife ^ I think it's minimum of 3 bettas all at once. just what I've read around.

Fins FurLife - 8 years ago

CharmingBettas no reccomended minimum for female betta sorority is 20 gal and odd numbers with min of 5 bettas added all at once to a cycled tank with max number of bettas at 10 reccomended

A few questions about starting a sorority tank:
-How to pick the right females for sorority?
-Are male guppies ok to be with them?
-What's the minimum tank size for having 4-6 females and about 4 guppies?

TheGlowingLionEyes - 8 years ago

Hey I have a qweoin about Betas and gumpys. can one male batte fit in a 0.5 Gallon tank with one guppy. or before i buy a guppy sould i upgrade to a 1 gallon tank PLEEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSS RESPOND

Alissia Rose - 8 years ago

+TheSpaceWolf no problem.. also make sure to have a heater that is the proper size for the tank ( you dont want to boil your fish) I would suggest you research betta fish care before you buy one. all ways good to know what you are getting yourself into..:-)

TheGlowingLionEyes - 8 years ago

OK THANK YOU SO MUCH!

Alissia Rose - 8 years ago

no, a betta fish needs at least 2.5 gallons. 5 would be best. a guppy might be killed if placed with a betta

Its a group of female bettas that can be kept alone or with other peaceful community fish.

My Betta Did The Same Thing, Treat Them With Cattapa Leave (Indian Almond Leaves). It Will Cultivate Better Mood For The Fish And It Will Cure Your Betta. Hope This Helps. My Betta Survived.

VYuvaraaj - 8 years ago

Creative Pet Keeping the tank is too big. Put your Etta in separate container and put almond leaves for faster reaction. ☺️

Creative Pet Keeping - 8 years ago

I put an almond leaf in the tank. Along with all the other things I'm doing.. I hope it helps.

My female was full of eggs once and she was completely fine.but try floating her in a males tank and if she is pregnant shell drop her eggs

Connor Winfield - 8 years ago

Hi there,I breed guppies so tat I can afford to buy my other pets toys,treats,bedding,and so on. I haven't had a betta for a little while and I want to get some.my LFS has really great bettas that hey get from local breeders and I would like to keep some. But I want to get females and put one in each guppy breeding tanks,I also know that bettas eat fry and I don't want them to depend on fry alone,will they eat some fry and regular food too? I feed blood worms(both frozen and freeze dried),veggie sticks,tropical flakes,and brine shrimp.please respond cause i've allready got more than enough money to a betta in each tank.also one more question:is a Betta fish pronounced beh-tah, or bay-tah?I feel like it would be beh-tah because betamis how you pronounce some gameing things or online courses.thank you:)and if I didn't be specific about something just tell me

Connor Winfield - 8 years ago

Ok thank you

Connor Winfield - 8 years ago

Thank you:)

Creative Pet Keeping - 8 years ago

They do eat the fry but sometimes are not fast enough to catch them so it is good to feed them normal food as well. Just watch their bodies to see that they are not being overfed. I think there are two ways that are ok to pronounce the betta name. It depends where you are located geographically. Here in Chicago that is how we say betta..but I'm sure it will be different in other places.

Brooke Tauscher - 8 years ago

i have never done what your trying to do so you should do what you think is right

Brooke Tauscher - 8 years ago

they bettas should eat both fry and blood worms. i would be worried about the bettas eating to much bc i have a male betta and a guppy that had 48 babies. i did not want that many babies so i fed them to my betta and he went crazy for them. he would chase them all over his tank. i think it would be ok if you had lots of hiding places and big tanks

Creative Pet Keeping - 8 years ago

It seems that dropsy is more common then I thought. Some people get it more with their fish..some less... I do hope she gets better but realistically I am worried she might not.
