Those pennies are extremely unsafe you know, I hope you said you're doing water change because the water doesn't look like it was filled all the way

LeeAnn Jurczyszyn - 7 years ago

Twilight moon - 7 years ago

If that's a Corydora in there too I feel bad for it, they do best in groups of 6 and in at least a 10 gallon

SHUT THE FUCK UP PEOPLE FISHES CAN LIVE IN ANY FUKING THING AS LONG AS U TREAT THEM GOOD AND GIVE THEM WHAT THEY NEED

Dragon Killer - 7 years ago

Twilight moon maybe he is autistic.

Twilight moon - 7 years ago

ok for instance...If you were a FISH and lived in a bowl would you be happy? Because 1. Its not enough space and 2. Would you like pennies in your tank (they are not fish equipment so don't use them because it can kill your fish) and 3. Those plants are to big to swim around the tank... and 4. You need to stop with the caps because your trying to get attention. Its not cute its just sad. :)

Dragon Killer - 7 years ago

kush link and they need a big tank so yeah :p

s_ r - 7 years ago

Cats 6 - 7 years ago

Is there coins in that tank? Do not do that that will kill ur betta

TimmyME - 7 years ago

Terrible looking tank...

MyGoldiesAndMe - 7 years ago

Just to clarify, it wasn't my tank at the time. When I took the betta, about a week or so later, I upgraded it to a 5 gallon and later a 10 gallon.

MyGoldiesAndMe - 7 years ago

aw thanks

thi le - 7 years ago

DONT REALLY kNOW HOW TO CLEAN YOUR FILTER MEDIA CORRECTLy?
IF U DONT WANT TO KILL UR BETTA /GOODIES YOU MUST READ!
Never wash FILTER media UNDER HOT OR COLD TAP WATER. Tap water has chemicals "Chlorine" will kills good and bad bacteria, which is living on ur media.
Without media good bacteria fish will die fast.
Never use tap water, only use dirty wc tank water, just few quick squeeze lightly
(plz dont try clean filtr=wipe out good bateria=DEALTH!)
use TANK W.C=GOOD BB=health fishes.

The filter media is a housing,help grow "BB-Beneficial Bacteria" that breakdown harmful Ammonia into, 2nd harmful Nitrate, BB then again convert it safely to Nitrite so it's bare able for the fishes to live a healthier life &not die of Ammonia poisoning to the gills.

I understand that this posting was yes ago and now things have changed and knowledge you have also gain past years.
But this is to whom ever starting off with betta fish and don't really know how to clean their Sponge Media filter.

MyGoldiesAndMe - 7 years ago

Thank you for your comment :)

UNI SKWAD - 7 years ago

What was the other fish I the tank

MyGoldiesAndMe - 7 years ago

A cory catfish :)

Brittney Thorn - 7 years ago

ok we get it its a small tank but you just need to stop criticizing your sister it's not her fault that she does not have a 20 gallon like you do jeez

Brittney Thorn - 7 years ago

MyGoldiesAndMe lol

MyGoldiesAndMe - 7 years ago

lol I agree, I was a little rough back then.

Waffles The Leopard Gecko - 7 years ago

I have done a ton of research but I have a 1 gallon I am going to Upgrade because it was just a starter the 10 gallon was only 15 so I am in luck it's not 100% Animal cruelty because if you don't keep it in there than it's not I am going to change it when he gets bigger

Waffles The Leopard Gecko - 7 years ago

Thank you ;)

MyGoldiesAndMe - 7 years ago

Flowing Betta's that's nice :)

96Eclipsed - 7 years ago

I realize this is from 2 years ago...but for anyone else thinking of doing the same: 1. You really shouldn't have coins in the tank...copper is bad for fish. And take out that other fish. If its a goldfish, they have completely opposite water requirements than a betta. If it's a cory catfish, those poor things need to be in a school of at least 5-6...and a 1 gallon is way to small for the cat. 2. The Betta leaf should be about a 1/2 inch from the surface so the betta has a place to rest when sleeping and won't have the height of the tank to get air...3. Actually, it's pretty smart that you used rocks from your established tank as there is beneficial bacteria that is needed in the tank with new water. 4. With dirty Filters, never use tap water! Fill a bowl with the old tank water and gently squeeze it repeatedly until it gets clean. Buy a new one and see if there is enough room for both filters to go in there. After a week or so, the new filter should have its on bacteria and you can throw away the old one.

MyGoldiesAndMe - 7 years ago

96Eclipsed thank you for your comment. Very informational :)

Bettas need a 5 gallon tank

Dragon Killer - 7 years ago

2.5

Snacktopia - 7 years ago

That tank look terrible. Like a tiny prison.

MyGoldiesAndMe - 7 years ago

Snacktopia I think so too, that's why I moved the betta to a 5 gallon and later a 10 gallon tank

shifterkart1 - 7 years ago

Oh HUSH people! 1 gallon is perfectly fine for a betta.

Master Jer - 7 years ago

1 gallon is fine than a small cup

Leo's Channel - 7 years ago

shifterkart1 thank you for making that point

Penny P - 7 years ago

Umm actually no it's not even for a beta and especially when you consider they put a second fish in there as well 1 gallon is not good for one fish and even worse for two

MyGoldiesAndMe - 7 years ago

but I appreciate you trying to beat down some of the negative comments, people get a little crazy

MyGoldiesAndMe - 7 years ago

um no its not lol, it wasn't my tank at the time I was just cleaning it for somebody. I later rehoused the betta in a 5 gallon.

Christopher Santy - 7 years ago

PENNIES!!!!!

Matt Soltesz - 7 years ago

So that's a 1 gallon I'm thinking of getting a new tank for my beta I'm thinking of a one gallon it lookes pretty good maybe I'll get it

Dragon Killer - 7 years ago

Samantha Mccarter but its barely a difference because they dont really have a lot of space

Samantha Mccarter - 7 years ago

Matt Soltesz One the bright side it is so much bigger then the cups they live in at the pet store

MyGoldiesAndMe - 7 years ago

Matt Soltesz nooooo DO NOT put a Betta in a 1 gallon they need ATLEAST 3 if not 5. It's cruel to put them in a 1 gallon. This was not my tank or betta in the video that I was cleaning, but I later did take the betta and put it into a 5 gallon.

John Medina - 8 years ago

That's way to tiny for those guys you should consider maybe like a 5.5 gallon or ten gallon, there pretty cheap.

Dragon Killer - 7 years ago

2.5

Chené - 8 years ago

Please upgrade your Betta tank, a Betta needs at least 5 gallons.. this is animal cruelty 100%. I have a 10 gallon tank for my Betta and feel like it's not enough so going to go to 15 gallons. I know you care about your fish but maybe you just have not done much research. The need have water of around 24 degrees Celsius and no light.. they hate light.

The Panda Crew - 7 years ago

btw its not her betta fish its her sisters stop bragging bc a betta fish doesnt need a 15 gallon tank ive got a 12 gallon tank

Hannah The Banana - 7 years ago

Chené you care about your fish and she can care about hers

TwentyØne Pusheens-I MAKE THESE HIGH HEELS WORK - 7 years ago

Chené My Dad was the one who got me the tank. Well the store gave t to us since the one that we picked out was “too big”.

TwentyØne Pusheens-I MAKE THESE HIGH HEELS WORK - 7 years ago

Chené I have a 1 gallon tank and it’s perfect!

Leo's Channel - 7 years ago

Shut up chene you haven't actually done the experiment, do the experiment first and then comment because a Betta can live and thrive in this tank

T T - 7 years ago

Chené aren't rivers and rice patties exposed to the sun. When a betta swims in rice patties and rivers, don't they get light from the sun? Also, breeders in Thailand who own more than 100 bettas have their bettas exposed to light at a certain extent. Bettas might not hate light but they don't want it all the time. Btw, sorry for bringing this topic back into your life, but I just wanted to state my opinion like you have yours.

Charlie Yang - 7 years ago

That is her sister's betta not her's.
Read the freaking description

Chené - 7 years ago

PozPoz Clearly You clearly know nothing about them. Bettas being territorial has nothing to do with the size of the tank. What.. do you think they live in a tiny space like that in the wild.... NO. 2.5 is incredibly small for ANY fish.. it is cruel and anyone who thinks it is okay must be incredibly narrow minded. Please actually get more than one fish before trying to argue. I have experience with taking care of more fish than you can think. The small space originally comes from what I would call a "myth" where it is okay to torture them with small spaces because in nature they come from puddles.... No! Not true they live in the river basins of the Mekong and Chao Phraya rivers. Yes.. sometimes the water they are in can get quite shallow but they still get swimming space and it is not forever like living with people like you. Light... come on, how incredibly inexperienced could someone possibly be to tell me a fish NEEDS light and of all.. you are telling me a betta needs light. The only one who NEEDS the light is YOU because you think shining an unnatural form of light on a fish, being tortured in a small space is.... pretty. Your research is highly innacurate.

PozPoz - 7 years ago

Chené This is so wrong. Bettas NEED light they don’t hate it. Also, they need a minimum of 2.5 gallons because they’re territorial fish. Please do research before critiquing.

Brittney Thorn - 7 years ago

ok sorry

SaeChris - 7 years ago

Brittney Thorn You must like living in a closet huh? That's how a betta feels like in a 1 gallon fool. They need room to swim just like us humans have malls to walk around. I personally recommend 5 gallon or more.

Brittney Thorn - 7 years ago

people stop listening to Chen'e she/he does not know it all

Brittney Thorn - 7 years ago

Chené actually a betta needs at least 1 gallon I have had experience with many many fish in the past and I know

Waffles The Leopard Gecko - 7 years ago

True my fish used to like light but now he works better without it

Chené - 7 years ago

Flowing Betta's They actually don't haha Listen most fish don't enjoy light unless u have a very odd fish. Bettas especially.. actually don't. I have allot of fish I take care of and none of them prefer light.. I take time into studying their behavior and my fish live long and never stress out, I don't experience death or anything in my fish unless it is due to an unavoidable cause. It is not your fish that enjoys the light, it is u. Overall fish don't like light unless it is natural. Think of it this way.. in nature there is not someone that switches a bright light on and off the whole time. It is WAY different from natural light.

Bettas spend most of their time at the top of the water so therefor staring into this bright light.... it is just common sense that it will not have a positive effect on your fish.

Waffles The Leopard Gecko - 7 years ago

They like light actually

Chené - 7 years ago

Reptils 101 Hi there, that is a great size for your Betta. low current filter is also the perfect option since strong ones may increase oxygen levels, they do stress out your Betta baby. also make sure there is no lighting in the tank or at least only leave the light on for 1/2 hours max if necessary. Have a super awesome day :-)

Bella Dwyer - 7 years ago

Chené is a 35 gallon okay for my one male betta I also have a heater and a low current filter

MyGoldiesAndMe - 8 years ago

+Jackieplays all of the bettas were later put into 10 gallon tanks along time ago

Addie Gifford - 8 years ago

Chené I agree with this comment if you really love this fish you will get him a 5 gallon take or at least a 3 gallon 1gallon is to small for one fish yet alone 2

MyGoldiesAndMe - 8 years ago

Chené - 8 years ago

MyGoldiesAndMe Awesome will do and subscribe!!

MyGoldiesAndMe - 8 years ago

The betta has been updated to a 5 gallon tank and then a 10 gallon tank many many many months ago. Watch my other videos for the updates :)

Chené - 8 years ago

Riley Shumaker Trust me.. as someone who owns many many many fish and have even been asked to set aquariums for offices and take care of them, it is basically my life.. I think I know in what environment they should be introduced to in order to live a long, healthy life. this... is not it. Please don't get pets if you don't know how to look after them.

Riley Shumaker - 8 years ago

No a betta needs 2.5 at minimum.

On the small side, but an ocean for Betta compared to living in a tiny cup

ReviewCam - 8 years ago

I don't think putting pennies in a fish bowl is a good idea.

Wallywutsizface - 8 years ago

You should upgrade to at least 2.5. Bettas need lots of space.

Cats 6 - 7 years ago

animal addict u don't need 20 gallons for one betta 1 gallon is fine

animal addict - 8 years ago

+Manny Zavala 1 gallon is no where near enough

Manny Zavala - 8 years ago

Wallywutsizface 1 gallon is enough for bettas if you have only couple small decoration it will fine

Wallywutsizface - 8 years ago

Oh, good!

MyGoldiesAndMe - 8 years ago

The betta is now in a 10 gallon :)

Kate Angelique Mavis - 8 years ago

For that one gallon tank, could u tell me how often you clean it? Also, do you leave the filter on for the whole day?

MyGoldiesAndMe - 8 years ago

I don't recommend putting ANY fish in a 1 gallon tank, it just wont work in the long run. you have to clean it often because it gets dirty quickly, so maintenance is at least once or twice a week. And yes, all filters have to be left on all of the time.

Margaret Flaherty - 8 years ago

Thank you. It's nice to see concern for this animal.

Gold Shot - 9 years ago

WOW TOO MUCH AMMONIA

MyGoldiesAndMe - 9 years ago

+Gold Shot Yup. The tank nor the fish were mine at the time, but I felt too bad to not clean it up.

ibuprofanity - 9 years ago

You should keep them. You actually care about them :) good job

Nicolas Lopez - 9 years ago

that is good

MyGoldiesAndMe - 9 years ago

+Nicolas Lopez About 8 months or so :) This betta now lives in a 20 gallon with my other fish. They're in my recent videos. :)

+MyGoldiesAndMe how long have you had the betta

MyGoldiesAndMe - 9 years ago

Thank you :)

Jalen Bradford - 9 years ago

+MyGoldiesAndMe good for you! You care! Great job!

MyGoldiesAndMe - 9 years ago

+ibuprofanity I have a few videos up that show the betta from this video now in a 20 gallon tank with two goldfish (which I don't recommend for all bettas). I will defiantly make a video on how I do water changes in my tanks, perhaps this weekend. Thank you for the video request! :)

ibuprofanity - 9 years ago

+MyGoldiesAndMe really? You should do an update. I definitely want to see them now. And can you do a quick tutorial on how you personally do water changes? I recently got my betta and I've never done one of those 20-50% water changes :P

MyGoldiesAndMe - 9 years ago

+ibuprofanity I did and I still have the betta fish today :)
