I gave all to a friend. Even my roommate couldn't have time to care for the fish while I'm away for several months.

May start another one when I have time because I'm interested in breeding bettas.

@@DiaryOfAnAmateurFishKeeper goodluck on betta breeding I know you can easily pull it off theres lots of vids in youtube that can help and guide you to breed bettas 💪

Make sure you have a lot of light. Also, the type of land moss I found is called Oregon beaked moss. I don't think all land mosses can grow underwater. You can see a bigger experiment I did here. th-cam.com/video/RrrhuoB79uQ/w-d-xo.html

It's mainly for show but once rooted, it also helps with absorbing the excess nutrients created by the fish waste.

The floating ones are call amazon frogbits. The submerged are fanworts. Good luck with your tank

@@DiaryOfAnAmateurFishKeeperthank you 😊

It rarely works. I would not do that because the male usually is too aggressive and territory in nature. If you really want to try, I recommend finding a very docile male and have a very big tank.

Okay thanks for the update.. in your tank all are frmale betta ?

@@LovePreet yes, they are all female. Good luck with your tank :)

@@DiaryOfAnAmateurFishKeeper thank you.. currently i have one betta with blue color

Thanks for your constructive comment. I do agree the tank is not big enough for the amount of bettas I have. There are big changes coming.

@@DiaryOfAnAmateurFishKeeper Thats awesome to hear. I cant wait to see what you come up with. I have to say again, just how beautiful those betta's are. Such cuties.

You're correct. The brown stuff on the plants and roots are algae / diatoms. I tried adding nerite snails to clean them but failed. This is how savage the bettas are to the snails :/ th-cam.com/video/bbX25IFa5y4/w-d-xo.html I can only imagine the same fate for shrimps.

@@DiaryOfAnAmateurFishKeeper I recommend more plants and maybe an ample amount of bladder snails (5-10). They're "pest snails" but they eat the algae, and you aren't losing money if the fish eat them; plus, they breed.

Thanks for the advice. I'm gonna give it a try once possible.

Is your betta also in a sorority? The small pink betta is the most aggressive in mine even though she's the smallest. Although, the red one is still the top dog despite being more calm as long as others don't mess with her

@@DiaryOfAnAmateurFishKeeper no she harms other bettas who are peaceful

Yes, it is small @ around 25 liters.

If possible try a 40 liter tank, you will see less fights and less chasing around, mainly because your females are pretty big in size

@@DiaryOfAnAmateurFishKeeper try to have 4 liters per Betta, I’ve had around 20 on a 40 liter tank but mine were pretty calm lol

Yeah I'd love to have a larger tank. Unfortunately, it's not that easy for my situation, so I'm gonna have to reduce the population.

I think I was lucky to have mild temper betta. Of course, it helps to be patient and let the fish get used to the new environment. I actually succeeded in adding this betta into the existing sorority th-cam.com/video/4IhlMRlL0lU/w-d-xo.html

You are correct. After much research, I can confirm they are detritus and harmless, or even beneficial in small quantity.

Thanks for the suggestion!

Glad it is also working for you. Yes, feeding is tough at first. But, it'll get easier once you're used to it and your bettas become accustomed to the sorority. Are you keeping only bettas in your tank or with other types of fish?

It's about 1.5 US gallon

Thanks! Dori is my first betta. I recently got a few more bettas but she's still my favorite 🥰

yes

Thanks!

Thanks! May be record your betta sorority and share with us :D. I'm curious. I'm paying really close attention to these girls, any bad persistent aggression will be fixed. Spoiler alert: there may be non-betta roommates :)

I bought a bunch of betta baby girls. Then I did more research and I found out petco can't sex baby bettas correctly lol so I looked at the egg spot and luckily I have 20 girls and 4 males. I'm watching them a the cups they came in but I put them in a heated tank. Its bad but I'm doing daily water changes and I let them out the cups to roam the tank and get familiar with there tank mates. Doesn't seem to have much aggression but it is there still.

Oh yeah, the aggression is still there. Even though my fish have lived together, they become more aggressive when it's meal time. You can try release all females into the tank and pick out the ones that are more aggressive to save you time. This is how I pick my bettas when I first setting up the tank th-cam.com/video/ZR5wTBlZ1P8/w-d-xo.html

Hi, this is my first ever tank which I'm planning to update soon. Thanks for the feedback

@@DiaryOfAnAmateurFishKeeperGet him a new tank that holds at least 2 gallons, a heater set between 78-82 degrees, and a filter Betta fish don't need much so just provide the basic 3 things they need to survive and it should do well 1. Space: a Betta doesn't naturally inhabit big open spaces, however in a stagnant aquarium environment a Betta needs at least 2 gallons to keep it from getting too dirty to quick (since water is not being constantly cycled in and out like in nature) 2: A heater is needed, because although a betta can live a while without one it won't be much of a life and it's metabolism will be too slow for the fish to ever grow at all and any illness will kill it off. 3: a filter is required to keep water circulating, which will help provide an environment for the beneficial bacteria to thrive. The only filtration needed for a Betta is the biological kind but chemical/physical filtration wont hurt. A sponge filter would be the cheapest, and actually the best option for any Betta fish as it provides the biological and physical filtration, and then also circulates water around the top of the tank Please do what you can for this fish, I lost my Betta recently and although I won't be getting another Betta I really want the best for all Bettas.

Have you ever seen LRBAquatics?@@sauce_legend1186

Hi, where I live, the ambient temperature is in ideal range for the fish. No heater required. Thanks for the suggestion though.

Yes, they all are female. I wish male could live in a community but it's very difficult and rarely work.

In short, buy female bettas that have been bred and grown in a community, the younger the better. When choosing the bettas, pay close attention to their behavior. The milder your bettas' temperament the better chance they live well in a community with other bettas. Regardless, luck still plays a big role. Some bettas are never meant to live with others.

In the video series, you can see that I started with 9 bettas but eventually, only 5 made it. The others were just too aggressive, so they were released into my friend's pond. It's big enough that they don't really have to coexist because they rarely see each other.

@@DiaryOfAnAmateurFishKeeper Thank you very much for your reply. I will try it.

Yes I agree and also recommend people who are interested in a sorority tank to get bigger tank if they can afford it

Thanks. I'll check father fish out!

Thanks for the encouragement :)

Thanks! :)

Thanks. The tank is 25 liter or about 7 gallon. It's too small for the amount of fish but I'm too broke to afford bigger tank. If you use a small tank like mine, it requires a bit more care and attention. Anyway, you should try, have fun and maybe post a video about your experience

Thanks for the suggestion. I'll try that out in the future. It will save a lot of time for sure

Thank you!
