(Luckily the pet store i got him from doesn't use the cup method for selling betta, he had a 2 gallon to himself.)
I have a decent sized tank and I was about to refill my tank because some of the water in my tank evaporates so the filter water was pouring into the bottom corner and my beta was doing flips (he was not injured there were no parasites he was just having fun) and overall just playing with the small current. Then I added the water and he stopped
To save all the beta fish it would be necesary to create a new breed of betta fish, less agressive that could live with other fishes
I am not a fish expert, just saying. weirder has happened.
(don't misunderstant, I still love this videos and want one XD)

I had to clean the whole tank once a week.
I dont see any algae in your tank, how do you keep it away?

Filtration is not essential in betta tanks... if the owner is diligent with the water changes. You never see Betta breeders in the Far East using filtration, just laborious water changes.
On the subject of the big box store and how they keep their bettas, they are in a great position to educate the public, insist on minimum tank requirements and therefore make bigger and more profitable sales to potential betta owners.... but we all know that is never going to happen!

Honestly, Jeff doesn't seem much better off than he was in the vase...
Does it matter how big the tank is? Like can they have really big tanks to themselves
What rocks aren't okay in a tank with them, Is Quartz okay?
steal em
walmart- just... get it and walk away
petco etc- get a bag, fill it with fish friendly water, open disgusting cup, pour that beautiful baby in, boom
for the second one, it's way easier, I'm pretty sure the bags don't have price tags so no getting caught??
also if you do that and you are full of extra tanks and supplies in your house
get a couple every time you go in!! you'll be appreciated for your kind heart and known as the "fish whisperer" xp
look at those lil faces, who wouldn't want a betta?
stealing bettas from Walmart/Petco wont affect their profits much and they will just replenish the stock. Instead of stealing them maybe add a sticker on the tank with a message that will make people aware they are being abused.
it'll probably work, just make sure there aren't any people watching you
And if you have a purse you can go in the bathroom (if they have one) and put him in there (will definitely work if you switch the cups so the price tags don't go berserk when you leave)
I've never tried any of this so... xp
You totally buy Walmart fish ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
That's a weird looking fish.
R.I.P Betty the Betta
I will be waiting for the uploads on your Betta! Idk why I'm so excited LOL
Do you have any pictures lurking anywhere? :3
We should go "sea world" on these big stores.. really make them change their behavior.
As I'm rather new to Betta keeping and would love to have more concrete feedbacks on the tank itself. Sorry if it sound like blatant advertising but you could just check out 4:15 to 4:45 to skip on my boring speeches and etc.
notice this IS A JOKE PLEASE DON'T TAKE IT SERIOUSLY
Yeah, I've read many horror stories on betta jumping to their deaths and I certainly don't want that to happen that's why I put Bob into my hand and close out all opportunity for him to jump before entering his new tank.
The pots idea were quite cool, I probably will set them up in my upcoming new tanks(if I could get any :>)
I'll try the mirror trick sometime soon and thank you for being such help in this journey with Bob! I've made a bonsai resting tree for Bob for some shade as well as a resting bed for him too! Check out the latest vid I've posted and maybe you could give me some pointers on the tree..(cause I'm feeling somewhere is off about that tree)
Finally a very big thank you Mei Slija for helping out!
Think of that old science test in school. Take a small cup and let a single drop of ink spill into it. Now dip a white napkin in it and see how strong that ink is despite the water. Now, take a very large bowl and do the same thing. A very big difference. Only in this case you have to always remember; there is something living in that cup you are spilling ink into.
Just be sure the bowl is small enough you can cover the top once you lift it free from the tank. People rarely get to see Betta’s jumping but they do jump and it’s fast!
Coconut husk, I’ve never thought to use that and I don’t know much about it. I did look it up and it seems very popular! If you decide to use it just be very sure you have gone over the whole thing with a fine sander so if Bob should brush against it or even lay down inside it won’t snag his tail.
I have used Terracotta pots myself because I have always made it look like someone has accidentally flooded their garden. XD A bit of fantasy! The natural look is always beautiful and often has that wild feel so I hope you make an updated video with what you do!
No worries, Betta fish have huge personalities! Some males just don’t flare, and are not aggressive in the least. Please don't mistake this as an okay to house another male with him. Huge no no. No fish with large colorful fins ever! It is good every now and then, maybe once a month or so; you give him something to flare at if he wants to. A mirror works so he can see himself. This will give Bob some sense he is protecting his territory from an intruder. Never leave the mirror there and once he has flared slowly move the mirror away. It will be as if he scared another male off. I’ve seen others do this to great success.
Right! I would get a small bowl to move in next time to prevent the stress upon moving. Great pointer!
As you diagnose on the tank, I myself also think that it has insufficient hiding space in such a long tank. I'm thinking of removing the stone henge on the right of the tank and replacing it with a DIY moss tree.
As for the terracotta pot, as much as I want to add it, I would use a much more 'natural approach'. Could I use a coconut husk(maybe with moss over it) instead? I would certainly love the natural approach though!
Honestly, Bob haven't been showing any sign of aggression, especially whenever I place my finger or anything pointing at him, he just be checking me out and following without flaring at all. I know this is uncommon but could it be linked with illness. However he is just eating fine as well as fins were fan out graciously along with swimming well. Am I just overthinking into it? :'(
you have a crown tail! Those are annoyingly rare where I live.
One tip I can give for you and Bob, the next time you must move him. Personally I suggest a cup, as you can
place your hand over this easily. Plus, everyone has a cup, just be sure it’s not plastic and you have rinsed it. This will keep pressure off his organs, be less stressful and not risk his tail or him jumping out as there will be water with him.
For his hide, while you do have one I noticed your tank is in a bedroom? This means a lot of activity and movement so perhaps get him a terracotta pot and angle it in a way that he doesn’t have to see the front of the tank. Don’t worry about him hiding away too much, male Betta love showing off so he won’t stay in there. This just gives him a place to go if he feels nervous when you first appear in the room, or if you are messing with bedding/clothes. Those flying cloths can be fast and bright like a flaring male.
HOPE THIS HELPS
:)
I feed my betta fish a few flakes a day and no more o,o
(aqua is my betta)
thanks so much for telling me though :O
9 years is rare even with the best of care.think of a 9 year old betta the equivalent of a 20 year old dog it's great they lived so long but they certainly aren't the standard.
I should know how hard it is to get a betta to live 9 years cause I have had a betta live that long.
room temperature varies from preson to preson.my room keeps the water at 28 c cause I like it hot in my room.but in other poeples homes it can get pretty cold.
a filter processes highly toxic ammonia into mostly harmless nitrates.water changes aren't going to help when the ammonia is being broken down.
you can keep the room warm enough to keep the tank at the right temperature but you can't water change enough to off set the ammonia spike your fish will constantly be going trough.
You're fucking stupid.
Save one Betta while giving them $ so they can put thousands of more Bettas in small cups.
I know I know, I can hear it, "your wasting your breath" your stupid to say this"!
Maybe, but things can and do change, generally if the public outcry is big enough and loud enough things change
Oh and while writing to that corporate megastore, send a copy to your local political office.
There are a lot of unhappy and annoyed people out there... these comment sections prove it!
Power to the pen!
My 2 cents.
if you don't buy it someone else will.cause the majority of people will buy them as a cheap pet and put them in a bowl.
AND he is soo CUTE!!!
I would instead implore people to find local stores and breeders who keep their fish happy and healthy and support those stores instead.
thatfish from a sad life in a cup.In my opinion a betta should have 3 gallons or more. My betta's about 4 years old now living in a 3 gallon
However they do sometimes put the bettas in cups. They are usually in a tank, but when a kid is like "Can I look closer at that one?" or something, they'd put them in a cup for the sole purpose of letting them see the fish up closer or taking them home. I think it's a bit better than Petco, seeing as they do get a tank and are cupped every once in a while.
by buying them you make it possible to put others in cups.
Also the water might be cooler than 78 (they can sometimes be a good ten below) so check it with a thermometer just to make sure.
That tank is quite good for a betta!! BUT~ Since bettas need to breathe air from time to time, they like to lie on something near the water surface when they sleep. There're special "leaves" for bettas you can put on the tank glass :)
Although it is a good suggestion but most bettas actually hate them, my betta 7 never used his, I had one in there for over 5 months and he never used it:)
I thought the same when i got my first betta... i was like "oh he won't.... there is plants on the water surface and stuff..." But he did and died xDD
RIP Boo 2014-2017
If you buy, Petco will want to sell more, so they'll buy more.
The only way to stop Petco treating those fish so badly is to stop buying them.
Well what i was trying to say was that if no One buy those fishes, They will mostly Kill them to reduce costs or sell them as Carnivore fish Food, you got it?
i dont even need to answer
Saying 'The practice will never end, so why even resist it' is not helping one bit.
it will also keep the fish happy and healthy in the store.
But we get it. You just learned some people put stuff in their butt, and you're having a fixation with the concept. Go ask your mom, I'm sure she can have a grown up conversation with you and explain a little about the why, do and don't.
in a bigger tank you could get away with not having a filter cause there's more surface area for the bacteria and water to dilute the waste.
Your wrong that betta was the first one inserted into aqua pros butthole
