You got me to get a 30 gallon fish tank for talking about them

Aquarium Co-Op - 6 years ago

Nice, it's a great tank size.

Tyler Mannon - 6 years ago

Cool

Nathan Rawding - 6 years ago

My 3 cory's have bread and I have lots of baby fri what should I feed them? will they be fine with powdered flake food?

Sh3lby - 6 years ago

Cory I need your help man. I have a fan tail goldfish that appears to have a small ulcer or wound near his tail. What would be the best way to treat this without taking him out of the tank he is in with the other goldfish?

Challenge the Wild - 6 years ago

tanks you motivate me :)

Matarese28 - 6 years ago

Cory, could you please put Java moss on your website, so many people, including myself, would be very happy to buy it from you

Matarese28 - 6 years ago

Aquarium Co-Op oh man, because i cant seem to find it in any of my local pet shops either

Aquarium Co-Op - 6 years ago

+Matarese28 the problem is we are sold out constantly in the retail store already cans you can't buy it from wholesalers

Störig Debbie-Mae - 6 years ago

First: I like the fact the Bettas are in community taks temprarely. I keep mine with Trumphorn snails and remshorn snails.
Second: sera.de is from germany. Do they ship worldwide? Just curious .

cermit - 6 years ago

you should buy a go pro and a chest or head mount so you have two hands

Aquarium Co-Op - 6 years ago

+spencer ward I have one. It doesn't focus in on fish when using it like that.

Your betta tanks make me so, so happy. So proud of you for not keeping them in tiny cubes or cups; and for telling people to keep them in lovely 5+gal tanks <3

arceation 13 - 7 years ago

hi cory i was wondering if planted aquariums are easy clean im getting a 5 gallon aquarium so i want to know everything about it all thankyou and great channel!!

Aquarium Co-Op - 7 years ago

Planted aquariums can be easier to run than tanks without plants. You'll have an uphill battle with only 5 gallons of water, if you can upgrade to even a 10 gallon you'll be in a better position to succeed.

arceation 13 - 7 years ago

hi cory i was wondering if planted aquariums are easy clean im getting a 5 gallon aquarium so i want to know everything about it all

Pleco Joey - 7 years ago

As long as you have a good filter suited to your tank size and do your water changes, you should be smooth sailing. A type of bottom feeder would help as well.

Skye333 - 7 years ago

bettas are one of my favorites, i got one of my own, and my friend got one too. My brother said that if you have three females and one male they school. Is that true? i went with my friend to pick out her betta and it was at Petco, and two of them were dead, in small bowls, and all right next to eachother with no dividers. It warms my heart to see these ones so well taken care of by someone who genuinely cares about the fish.

Skye333 - 7 years ago

thank you :3

Aquarium Co-Op - 7 years ago

Typically bettas are very territorial and won't school. It's been done, but can also be very difficult.

Chris Carmody - 7 years ago

Hi what's the name of your store?

Aquarium Co-Op - 7 years ago

Aquarium Co-Op

Fish Guy - 7 years ago

Love your vids

Bubbley Manatee - 7 years ago

what fish is at 6:29 ? they are awesome looking!

Pleco Joey - 7 years ago

Silver tip tetras, if your talking about the little yellow fish.

Bradford Aquatics - 7 years ago

That's either the guppies or silver tip tetras

kyra Nortje - 7 years ago

hi,I have a question what fish can you cohabitate with goldfish?

kyra Nortje - 7 years ago

Thank you very much,much appreciated

Aquarium Co-Op - 7 years ago

Typically things that won't fit in their mouth and won't attack the goldfish. Dojo loaches, bristlenose plecos are common tank mates

Rajendra Kumar Pal - 7 years ago

but your fishes are cool
I really like it

Rajendra Kumar Pal - 7 years ago

to many fishes i like it

Aquarium Co-Op - 7 years ago

Never enough! :P

Stephanie Eastman - 7 years ago

Do you sell the plants in the round terracotta pots?

Stephanie Eastman - 7 years ago

Ok..thank you

Aquarium Co-Op - 7 years ago

I don't know of anyone else selling them. I have to import them into the country and I've already run into them not having enough.

Stephanie Eastman - 7 years ago

Can you recommend where I could purchase a couple? I want some plants but would like to keep them contained.

Aquarium Co-Op - 7 years ago

We do in the store, but not online yet, haven't been able to get enough of them in to offer to online sales yet.

Jacqueline Bennett - 7 years ago

I was just wondering what sort of fish is Murphy?

Aquarium Co-Op - 7 years ago

+Jacqueline Bennett mbu puffer fish.

B.bubble's Pets - 7 years ago

What fish can you put with bettas?

Aquarium Co-Op - 7 years ago

Other mild mannered fish typically. Things like corydoras, small rasboras, neon tetras sometimes, otocinclus. Lots of options really, all depends on size of tank and temperament of the fish and betta.

Joseph Power - 7 years ago

do you have any parrot fish my friend

Aquarium Co-Op - 7 years ago

We focus on community planted aquariums. We don't carry jack Dempseys either.

Joseph Power - 7 years ago

what about jack Dempsey's

Aquarium Co-Op - 7 years ago

+Joseph Power nope, not currently.

Eve Walter - 7 years ago

Bethany Ward - 7 years ago

I thought salt and pepper cories were corydoras habrosus?

Snow Cold - 7 years ago

Do you ship to Australia with the easy root plant feed?

Aquarium Co-Op - 7 years ago

+Marcus Ormerod we haven't yet, shipping has kept anyone from ordering to Australia.

CharlieTheUnicorn - 7 years ago

That cellophane Betta was absolutely beautiful!!
When I move into my new apartment I want to get a 10 gallon tank or something small. It's been awhile since I've had fish but I want to have a multiple fish tank.

jon valberg - 7 years ago

could you show the fish in the aquarium after unboxing

jon valberg - 7 years ago

thanks for replaying me

jon valberg - 7 years ago

Aquarium Co-Op - 7 years ago

+jon valberg I do sometimes yes, depends on how much time I can get without customers in the store.

Isabella Concotelli - 7 years ago

Sir what is in the black tank at the shop

lillie robinson - 7 years ago

Where is your shop

Aquarium Co-Op - 7 years ago

Edmonds, Washington near Seattle.

Rhinestone Cowgirl - 7 years ago

Can you keep multiple betas in one tank? I've been trying to research this but unfortunately I find that i'm getting mixed answers in forums

Aquarium Co-Op - 7 years ago

Multiple females in a sorority type setup, but not multiple males typically.

Julie Henry - 7 years ago

NotAtAllRelevant - 7 years ago

You take such wonderful care of your fish oh my goddd; i wish all stores cared this much about the animals, especially the betta fish, but the number of times ive seen them in little dixie cup containers makes me so sad :c

Aquarium Co-Op - 7 years ago

Thank you for noticing. We try very hard to keep fish in tip top shape.

Mahlil Khan - 7 years ago

Wilster Phung - 7 years ago

i love congo tetras, I have a whole school of them, and they school with a whole school of diamond tetras too

Alex Vega - 7 years ago

can I put together tow bettas in a 10 gallons

Aquarium Co-Op - 7 years ago

If you divided the tank, But one will thrive best in the 10 gallon.

Lindsey Paradiso - 7 years ago

I wanna have a store like yours one day, plus a whole other big section for some furrier and feathery animals haha as well as amphibians and some reptiles (more towards geckos and other smaller lizards, I love animals too much to be able to feed them anything other than insects, ya know?). I can't wait. It won't be easy, but will be well worth it. :)

Maya Relva - 7 years ago

how do you keep your tetras from nipping the bettas tail, i have a community tank but the tetras seem to be bullying my betta... really wanted it to work out. Any suggestions?

Aquarium Co-Op - 7 years ago

+Maya Relva what tupe of betta and what type of tetras

Kimsotus Orelius - 7 years ago

That nanoponic 5 gal kit looks fantastic! @ 4:40

Do bettas grow any bigger than the size we buy them at?

Aquarium Co-Op - 7 years ago

+Seth Again bettas should get to double the size you see them at when I show them. About 4 inches and out kn a lot more body mass.

Cagri Ergen - 7 years ago

Hey Cory, I went ahead and bought some pseudotropheus saulosi fry. they look amazing. I am looking for some tank mates with them. Do you think another type of pseudothropheus species would be compatible with them? Also, can I put some plecos in the same tank? Thanks for the info.
PS: Your videos inspire me to keep unique species. That means more tanks, my wife will kill me ....:)

Aquarium Co-Op - 7 years ago

For the 40 breeder I'd stick with just the Colony personally, You could perhaps add some petricola catfish etc. But life will be easiest as a species tank in a 40 breeder.

Cagri Ergen - 7 years ago

Oh sorry. I should have. It will be a 40breeder. I only have 10 saulosi fry about 1" in there.

Aquarium Co-Op - 7 years ago

+Hasan Cagri Ergen what size aqaurium?

XxJAMESxXxRYANxX - 7 years ago

Alexis Xiong - 7 years ago

do you know when you guys are getting female betta in stock? I was at your store on Saturday night and got 3 nice looking male betta from you guys. love your store and always plan to visit when I get the chance to come up to Seattle.

Aquarium Co-Op - 7 years ago

We don't plan on bringing in females unless they are special order.

Bruce Butterfield - 7 years ago

roadjunkie - 7 years ago

stores look'n good...however i find your lack of cichlids disturbing lol.

Rob - 7 years ago

glad to see the bettas in large aquariums, but what makes me extremely happy is you advertising that the bettas need 5gal at a minimum with good plants. I'm so sick of seeing pet stores claim the bettas can thrive in much smaller tanks, it's horrible. I'm glad you're trying to make sure these bettas have good lives.

SML 1995 - 7 years ago

Rob sorry ment :(

SML 1995 - 7 years ago

Rob my family fell for the half gallon tank, I wanted a bigger tank but they won't let me :)

Alexa Cho - 7 years ago

I agree!

Chase Moore - 7 years ago

Hey man what's going on with the turtle eggs?!?!?

Aquarium Co-Op - 7 years ago

Just sitting in the incubator, it's a long wait now :)

Chase Moore - 7 years ago

Man I wouldn't care what people say about how you keep your fish in the different size tanks because if you go to pet smart or Walmart or any other place that sells fish they have them in small tanks too. So if people are saying stuff about how you keep up with all your fish you buy to sell to people that want fish. Just remember what I just said heck I would say that in one of your videos.

Kody Dryden-Conway - 7 years ago

how much are your gold nuggets

Kody Dryden-Conway - 7 years ago

nice I might get one

Aquarium Co-Op - 7 years ago

+Kody Dryden-Conway 44.99

Mark Copley - 7 years ago

cory murphy's tail seems to be clamped a lot is that usual?

Aquarium Co-Op - 7 years ago

Yes, puffers don't extend their tails often. My last Mbu at 22 inches, it was a treat to see it fully out as it was huge! They use it as a rutter while swimming. So unless they are trying to swim very fast it does open up.

Melleefrase - 7 years ago

Wow you have some really nice tanks. The puffer fish is adorable. Also the bettas are great and first time I've seen them in regular tanks.

Aquarium Co-Op - 7 years ago

+Melleefrase thanks :)

Charles' Fish Tanks - 7 years ago

Cory, is it just me, or is your channel growing by 1,000 subscribers every couple of days? You should do something special when you hit 25,000 subs!

BTW, I just got my bottle of Easy Green today. I love how convenient the squirt function is! I think it may have some sort of magical property, though. After dosing, my keyhole cichlids AND my EBR+GBR pair started spawning, both for the first time. LOL

Aquarium Co-Op - 7 years ago

Oh, that, it's the love we put in the bottle :P I'm growing by 1k about every 5 days currently.

Tech Hub - 7 years ago

Like this comment if you think Murphy is cute

Formal Tuna - 7 years ago

Does the puffer not eat the guppies? or do they just breed so rapidly that he can't wipe them out

Aquarium Co-Op - 7 years ago

He doesn't eat them.

Joel OKane - 7 years ago

I'm not sure if you have done a video on it but what's the filtration system in your store? Mainly sponge filters?

Aquarium Co-Op - 7 years ago

Yep, sponge filters in every tank and auto water changes.

Michel Carrasquel - 7 years ago

Beautiful shop Best I seen!

Aquarium Co-Op - 7 years ago

Thanks

Captain Savage Aquatics - 7 years ago

Great video once again! Keep'm coming!

SKExotics - 7 years ago

Why would the wholesaler be upset about tons of business??

Aquarium Co-Op - 7 years ago

Because they aren't setup to deal with the public. For instance a lot of wholesalers only ship airport to airport. On top of that they have high minimum orders. This is all to keep the public from bogging them down. IF wholesalers wanted a ton of business they would advertise it. This would be places like imperial tropicals and goliad farms.

George Calderon - 7 years ago

cool video but we need a tour of your fish store after all the fish are in the tanks PLEASE

George Calderon - 7 years ago

col

Aquarium Co-Op - 7 years ago

That would just show stressed fish in the quarantine tanks. I'd say I could possibly do a store tour the next week or so to show them off.

Philthy Phil - 7 years ago

things like small tetras are perfectly fine with them

LimeGreenDean - 7 years ago

+Explosive Crazy Penguin Okay thank you! :)

Vidyut Periyasamy - 7 years ago

They just cant be with fish with long flowing fins. Betta's will think that those fish are other bettas and try and kill them. Also bettas cant be put with aggressive fish like barbs that will nip at their fins. hope that helps :)

Fatboy Aquariums - 7 years ago

Okay thanks again

Aquarium Co-Op - 7 years ago

+Cody Ford-Mack I would used crushed coral yes

Fatboy Aquariums - 7 years ago

Okay so my ph is about 6.5 should I use crushed coral or.

Aquarium Co-Op - 7 years ago

I recommend 7.0pH at least and lots of buffer.

Josh's Aquatics & Railroad Videos - 7 years ago

Awesome video!

shogged - 7 years ago

why are the plecos numbered like that?

shogged - 7 years ago

cool, thank you!

Aquarium Co-Op - 7 years ago

When they were originally found, they were finding so many each day that they gave them a number. After that they were properly identified and given names, but they still carry the L number with them.

EsotericAquatics - 7 years ago

Murphy make me want to get a bigger species of puffer, he is so cool! btw, molybdenum is poison in higher amounts so let customers know to not put in more than the recommended amount.

Maztch - 7 years ago

Really enjoy your videos! Unfortunately I can't really buy anything from you, since I live in the UK, but hopefully a like will be of some help! :D Thank you for the great content, easily the best tropical fish channel I watch.

Naicly Media - 7 years ago

A complete noon with plants., but I've set up a shrimp tank an planted tank I was wondering do Anubis nana need root tabs and also do they molt back? One last question some random seed is above the gravel in the tank and it's starting to grow lol what should o do with it?

Naicly Media - 7 years ago

+Aquarium Co-Op thanks!

Aquarium Co-Op - 7 years ago

Caleb is correct, anubias are a water column feeder. For the plant that has sprouted, I'd say let it grow.

Caleb Lopez-Sanchez - 7 years ago

Naicly Media Anubias nana don't need root tabs because their roots and rhizome should be above the gravel on something like driftwood. Hope this helped :)

Laura - 7 years ago

Ok. GREAT video. The bettas look AMAZING in their communities. I swear i saw Murphy smiling (yes projected human emotion on the fish- but seriously.) i have to rewatch this whole video now.

mrmas - 7 years ago

What happened to you previous betta barrack setup in your store?

Aquarium Co-Op - 7 years ago

I'm not happy with the way it performs. Grows a lot of algae, and traps duckweed in it. Also it's a lot harder to convince someone to put a betta in at least 5 gallons when you are selling it out of a container that is smaller. Still working on innovations to improve that kind of setup.

Clay Hodges - 7 years ago

Working great able to do all 8 of my tanks. Funny how a child's mind works

Yeah, theres a lot of cool danios, just not very popular in the hobby.

wanaa66 - 7 years ago

Wouldn't a good school of cories be a cool sight to see in Murphy's tank? hint hint :p

Aquarium Co-Op - 7 years ago

I have tried it. Corydoras eventually become accidents. They go after the clams, and as Murphy gets bigger his eyes get further apart. At the right moment a corydora moves in to eat the clam and Murphy can't see it, once they bite a corydora they spit it out cause they weren't expecting it. But I wish I could do it cause it would look amazing.

kerry riley - 7 years ago

LOVE Murphy!!!!! oh....hey...... Cory is cool too

Aquarium Co-Op - 7 years ago

Murphy is super cool :)

In your next video could you speak a little bit about plecos or show some of the plecos x

Unicorns - 7 years ago

+Aquarium Co-Op true that would be pretty awesome , love your videos anyways !

I've had problems, but it's not the norm. I'd say if he is tolerating the shrimp, it's likely he'll tolerate the neons.

Fenu S - 7 years ago

+Aquarium Co-Op hey Corey I love Bettas and your tank I am getting some neon tetras soon but have you ever had problems with them and make Bettas together I got a ghost shrimp and he seems fine with my Betta . Thanks and keep up the good work!

Aquarium Co-Op - 7 years ago

Yep, I use sponge filters in my small ponds when I breed fish outside. I like the coarse ones best. http://www.aquariumcoop.com/products/hydro-sponge-iii-filter

Seeing all the corydoras you got, I wish you would do a video on how to treat scaleless fish when sick since they are so sensitive to medicines and aquarium salt.

Ok, thanks for the link!

I use the exact same medicines. So my quarantine series is exactly how I treat them. http://www.aquariumcoop.com/pages/how-to-quarantine-fish

Go Murphy! Crunch, crunch, crunch ❤

Are the Easy tabs meant to be used on their own, or should they be combined with SeaChem root tabs? I have root tabs in the gravel already, but I need to pick up another bag and if they're essentially the same or don't counteract with each other, I'd rather support a small business owner.

Aquarium Co-Op - 7 years ago

They are essentially the same, you should only need one or the other.

Baby juice Dedham - 7 years ago

i see where your coming from.. what would you do if a shipment came in 15f and only 5 males..(assuming the whole sale picks them at random) money loss before you can even put them in a for sale tank..

Aquarium Co-Op - 7 years ago

Yeah, I have access to tons, but people only want to buy males and that isn't profitable.

Steenfott Aquatics - 7 years ago

I said the same thing lol, they just dont sell well. Or everyone buys the males and he is stuck with a bunch of females that no one wants.

I don't know if you still need suggestions, but corydoras would work. They come in a lot of forms and are so well behaved and peaceful.

oh Okay then

Aussie Reptiles and Aquarium Fish - 7 years ago

No! Otherwise it will be a blood bath...

Eryn Buckle - 7 years ago

Will they all live in the same tank??

Aussie Reptiles and Aquarium Fish - 7 years ago

You could do many things! You could have shrimp, dwarf crayfish, small tread, shell dwelling chiclids, some gourami, Pygmy corys, African dwarf frogs, most live bearers and rubber lip plecos.

Pimping boi - 7 years ago

thanks for the help☺

Goblin Engineer - 7 years ago

Depends on the dimensions on the aquarium (LxWxH) as some fish prefer more length than a "normal" x gallon tank can provide, but if I were you I'd go to seriouslyfish.com and have a look around. I like dwarf cichlids, so I would probably do a blackwater (Amazon biotope, here are a few examples http://i.imgur.com/Afl0G2E.jpg http://imgur.com/a/7VM7h ) tank with an Apistogramma Elizabethae pair as the centre piece with some dither fish like cardinal tetras. Of course everyone has their own opinions and favorite fish, so make sure to have a good look around on seriouslyfish. It provides water params, dimensions, size, feeding, sexing, breeding and ideal tank setup for a load of fish from all around the hobby.

LuckyArizona LuckyArizona - 7 years ago

or like does every puffer get along with guppies?

LuckyArizona LuckyArizona - 7 years ago

Ok thx

Steenfott Aquatics - 7 years ago

Nope, can be done with MBU Puffers as long as they stay well fed. But if you put something with a Hairy puffer or a Congo puffer, they are dead.

LuckyArizona LuckyArizona - 7 years ago

I'm buying a mbu puffer I have a question can they go with guppies?

Aquarium Co-Op - 7 years ago

Not for long. A mbu will outgrow that relatively quickly and the waste from feeding the mbu is where most people run into problems.

LuckyArizona LuckyArizona - 7 years ago

+Aquarium Co-Op ok thanks so much like would a 100 gal tank be good?

Tear apart a toy with a small motor in it then glue something to it for a propeller. Hang it on the side and let the propeller do its job.

That is freaking genius, i wouldn't have thought of that in a million years.

Thanks guys!! I think I got a good solution. My nephew thought of it 6 years old we we hook the bicycle pump up to it and take turns pumping it. Seems to be working

My powers out too, I also live in Florida. I had to make an emergency run to a petstore to get a battery powered air pump. Lower your water level to a few inches. Hang in there

Cool Dude - 7 years ago

you are awsome

j.r.d.l - 7 years ago

you should bring un pictus catfish

j.r.d.l - 7 years ago

Aquarium Co-Op - 7 years ago

I can only speak to personal experience with pictus catfish getting double that size. Also if you were to google pictus catfish eating. You'd see they eat people's fish. Here is a link where others are reporting large and aggressive pictus catfish. http://www.aquaticplantcentral.com/forumapc/fish-planted-aquarium/31758-pictus-catfish-eats-everyone.html

And this is why I don't carry them in store as they would consume the rest of the tank mates with what I sell.

j.r.d.l - 7 years ago

Well i can understand about their poison but 4-5 inches isn't too big

j.r.d.l - 7 years ago

+Aquarium Co-Op their not that aggressive but ok

Aquarium Co-Op - 7 years ago

+j.r.d.l never unless its a special order. Most people dont keep them in large schools and cant handle their adult size and aggressive behavior.

Angelina Andreou - 7 years ago

hey cory i want to set my 6 gallon tank what fish you suggest ?

Goblin Engineer - 7 years ago

I'm not really sure how difficult they are, it varies a lot. If you have a more specialist fish store around you then they can order in fish easily for you. In a 6g, I'd only put 1 dwarf puffer in, even though they are cute and small they are still pretty mean and would fight a lot. But even with 1 they're still interactive enough to amuse.

Angelina Andreou - 7 years ago

thank you so much , i already plan to make my 20gallon tank planted with endlers so no more endlers i was thinking about a betta or shrimps but i am not sure..is it difficult to find dwarf puffers? and how many to the 6 g?

Goblin Engineer - 7 years ago

I'm not Cory but might as well throw in my 2 cents. I always think Shrimp are a great go to option. A load of color, good personalities and do well in smaller tanks. Other than Shrimp, you might like a dwarf puffer. Dwarf puffers only get an inch long, are fully freshwater and unlike pretty much every other puffer out there- they don't require hard shells to trim their beaks down. While they still enjoy eating snails- due to them being their natural food source, they do just fine eating bloodworms, brine shrimp (both of which can just be frozen food) and mosquito larvae. If you want you can of course breed some snails, like ramshorn snails. They are easy to breed, and don't require much room so you can get a load of food for the dwarf puffer. Dwarf puffers also have a very similar interaction style than other larger puffers, and do really well in planted tanks with a lot of cover. Endlers are also an option, nice little colorful fish. Here is a list of a few other options for smaller tanks (with dimensions of the tank in cm, in Length X Width, next to the size of the fish.) http://imgur.com/Mv1zqSt

NiX aKi - 7 years ago

Wow! Murphy's bite is so powerful the audio caught the munching. It's my 1st time seeing his teeth.
I actually like the way you showcase your bettas. Given the right tankmates a betta is actually a good community fish. I think it's cruel how others house their betta. No circulation at all..

Joel Drabsch - 7 years ago

I love the crunch that he makes

CharlieTheUnicorn - 7 years ago

Seriously! Murphy was awesome! Those puffers are so amazing!

Steenfott Aquatics - 7 years ago

I love hearing the crunch when i feed my MBU puffer too. They are amazing fish.

love how you keep the betas in such large tanks!

MintChocolate - 6 years ago

Shey's Betta I have no idea what you're talking about because my bettas have always been extremely active and utilized every square inch of the tank up to 30 gallons

Asherly EverAfter - 7 years ago

Stylebreed my Betta has the large dumbo fins and he is extremely active.

Asherly EverAfter - 7 years ago

Juan Sebastian I was thinking the same thing. Went to a a commercial pet store about a month ago and was looking for a Betta.They had only one left and he looked pale, sickly and depressed. I didn't like how he looked but bought him anyway. Within hours of being at home and in his tank he turned a reddish blue. And is very active and healthy!

Happy TheCat - 7 years ago

Allison my beta was a rescue from Walmart, I was getting some school supplies, and I walked past the poor little guy, he had no fins and was at the bottom of the cup and he was iridescent, almost clear. And I took him home put him in my 6 gallon tank with live plants and apparently he was blue! But he's happy now and he colored up beautifully

Allison Pets - 7 years ago

Bettas live together in the wild claiming as much as 3 feet of territory per male betta. They are also good community fish if introduced when young. If you think bettas are "thriving'' in a plastic cup for 3-6 months at a time in a pet store, you're dead wrong. They instantly color up with live plants and most bettas can thrive peacefully with fish that are docile in nature such as tetras, rasboras, cory cats, and bottom dwellers. The key is to keep a single male betta with mid column swimmers and bottom dwellers, since bettas spend most of their time at the top, "breathing" atmospheric air with their labrinth "gills" they don't give a shit if fish are swimming at lower levels.

Happy TheCat - 7 years ago

Stylebreed please learn correct information before trying to tell someone off

Cherri Barnes - 7 years ago

+Stylebreed you dont know what you're talking about.

Arty Kitty - 7 years ago

Stylebreed Actually, Bettas can be fine with small fish such as tetras, or those who do not nibble on the fins of bettas. Also, bettas do need a large tank, even though they are a little lethargic, but that is because they are not strong swimmers.

Shey's Betta - 7 years ago

which is completely senseless. The bred bettas have way bigger fins than usual, which is why they don't swim much and get along way easier in a small tank. And also... they should not be kept with other fish! A good store is one which sells its bettas in small tanks (which hold only one fish each).

AqualifeTv - 7 years ago

why do they add a piece of sponge?

Aquarium Co-Op - 7 years ago

+neil hasketh actually is polyfilter. So its not sponge it absorbs chemicals during transit and the color it tuensnindicates what was released into the water.
