I accidentally learnt three things without knowing with Winter (my Betta's name), 1)He literally recognises me and follows my finger around instead of being scared 2)I was studying and pointed my pen at him (I don't know why lol) and he started flaring, I was first concerned not knowing why he was doing that 3)Everytime I wanted to feed him, he jumps to the food on my finger, instead of letting me place the food in the water, I got jumpscared a lot lol, but then I heard it's possible to train them some simple Betta tricks❄️💙❄️
I can't wait untill my betta fish (Oggy is his name) will gonna be more active, because today is his first day in my home! And poor little thing is stressed, but i will try my best, to be with him, be active to him too, love him and take care! Bettas are the best!!😄
@@AdvancedPoopoo wow good to hear! I’m glad he’s ok, I think that the timid feeling of the fish will go away, I just wish mine was still alive RIP my fast red betta flash.
My halfmoon betta (Picasso) definitely started to recognize me after a few days after getting him and he kinda swims around when I talk to him! They have the best personalities!
I rescued a female Dumbo ear Betta fish yesterday and a male halfmoon Dumbo Betta on the 1st of September. I couldn't be happier with them both. I absolutely love them so much ♥️.
Bettas are so much more active and smart than people give them credit for. My betta Finn learned tricks super quickly and loves to jump for food. He also trusts me enough to touch my hand when I'm changing his water or feeding him
my betta had 3 ghost shrimp friends and then i left to go on a trip. When i came back the 3 shrimp were dead and ripped apart. But I found a sucker fish that he gets along with.
This video makes people buy MORE fish without knowing what they're doing, and if that happens MORE animal abuse is going to happen. So, allow me to explain. BEFORE buying your fish, you must research the nitrogen cycle. ( I'll explain it the best i can. ) So, set up your tank, do everything you need, then add your water, turn your filter and heater on. ( You HAVE to treat your water for chlorines and chloramines, some good brands are API and Seachem. It is ESSENTIAL to have a filter, this is the home of good bacteria. However, make sure it is low flow, betta fish aren't good at swimming. ) After that is done, add your food, or buy ammonia and add it into the tank. You MUST leave your tank for 1-2 months before adding your fish, ( unless you have a water test kit. ) In short, food produces ammonia ( TOXIC AND WILL KILL YOUR FISH. ) After it is introduced, more good bacteria will multiply and eat off the ammonia, the byproduct of this is nitrites ( TOXIC AND WILL KILL YOUR FISH. ) More good bacteria spreads, and then eats the nitrites. The other byproduct of this is Nitrate, ( HARMFUL, HOWEVER WILL NOT KILL YOUR FISH IN LOW AMMOUNTS. ) Once you have produced these good bacterias, they will call your filter home. That is why it is ESSENTIAL for a HAPPY and HEALTHY Betta fish. ( YOU CAN SPEED THE CYCLE UP BY ADDING SEACHEM PRIME AND STABILITY. ) Betta fishes water pH should be 7 ppm. ( Theyre tropical fish, they prefer slightly acidic water. ) Betta fish NEED 5 gallons, However 10 gallons is preferred. Just because they are small does not mean they should get a bowl. ( Your fish will die quicker, ammonia, nitrites, nitrates build quicker in smaller tanks, meaning if you skip a singular water change your fish could potentially be put at risk for ammonia burns. ( Kills your fish. ) Betta fish LOVE stimulating places, and lots of hidey holes, Without these, your betta can become incredibly bored, and sulk at the bottom of their tank, or go to fin nipping as a solution. ( Will also kill your fish if you're not careful. ) You can use Silk Plants, or live. However, plastic will rip your fishes fins and could also subdue them to diseases and tail rotting. Dirty water is a MAIN Cause of diseases and death, keep it clean. " Why shouldn't you keep a betta in a bowl? Mine lived in one for 3 years. " You're probably asking yourself that, well bowls do NOT circulate oxygen at ALL, therefore meaning your fish will be gasping for air at the surface. ( Another thing, betta fish WILL jump out of the tank if ammonia, nitrites and nitrates are too high, or they find the tank too small. ) Your fish will become sick most likely once, a couple of those are: Dropsy, Swim Bladder, Finrot, Hole In Head, Ick/Ich, Columnaris, Popeye, Tumour And Velvet. These are all EXTREMLY DANGEROUS to your fish. Let me tell you some noticeable signs of these sicknesses occuring. Dropsy: Extreme body swelling and pineconing of scales. ( Virus, bacterial infection or parasites are a cause of this. ) Columnaris: Cottony white growths along the body and or gills. ( Stress and poor water quality cause this. ) Hole In Head: Visible holes above the eyes. ( poor nutrition and water quality. ) Ich/Ick: small white dots on your fish, rubbing against decor. ( Poor water quality, stress, or contagious water companions. ) Fin And Tail Rot: White growth, black growth, discolouration around fins or tail, fins and tail look tattered and ragged. ( Poor water quality. ) Popeye: Bulging Eyes coming out of their sockets. ( Prolonged exposure to bad water quality, or Tuberculosis. ) Swim Bladder Disease or disorder: Floating on side, difficulty swimming, or regulating depth. ( Genetics, overfeeding, or bacterial infection.) Tumour: lump or bumps. ( varies. However this is ALWAYS fatal. ) Velvet: Goldish-yellow rust-like dusting. Rubbing on decor. (Stress, cold and poor water quality.) Fish can be susceptible to all of these diseases, and it usually dies because of improper care, not the fact that they " don't live long. " Betta fish can live for 7-9 years with proper care, they're animals with real life feelings, just like us, or dogs and cats. They don't understand why you don't love them like you would a more, common pet. After all, they're extremely intelligent, and just want to be loved like any other animal. You can train them to do tricks, also. They're no different to your common bird or dog. Just because you can't pat them, doesn't mean you can't interact with them. They deserve love like any other animal does. It isn't " just a fish. " It's more then that, it's a living creature who can feel pain and even get depressed when they aren't cared for. If you don't love it like a dog or cat, what's the point in owning one? They're not just your decorations.
My male red tiger nemo male koi betta fish Firecracker gives me a glare if he doesn’t get a bloodworm along w/his pellets/shrimp They each have their own personality 🐟🧨
I love Betta fish! My 4 def recognize me. Mr pinky is prob my fav. He had a major glow up from when I first got him in January 2023. He looked like he had given up on living. Now he’s purdy, bright, always curious, and is excited to see me. Makes me happy seeing him happy as can be. I wish I can rescue them all. ESP the ones at the commercial pet stores that are on the verge of dying. Ugh. I feel for them.
7:29 that betta fish looks a lot like my old fish, Redbull, he passed due to getting stuck in between 2 rocks and couldn’t back out. I even had a slogan for him; Redbull gives you fins. R.I.P. Redbull.
Today I put mine in a 10 gal bucket with natural river pebbles and a lovely living lottus I noticed his curiosity discovering the space cuz he was in a mayonese jar
I am rocking a sorority right now. I have some videos up of mine, theyre super fun to watch, and will rub against my finger when I place it in the tank to "pet" them.
Bleach Seashells and Soap can also cause your betta fish to go up to the Big Pond In The Sky as well as not maintaining the tank each week w/water changes so make sure you never use those products and keep their home/house clean
I bought one recently which is bright blue coloured but after 2 days it's fin has started turning brown and it haven't eaten anything. Also it is floating on top of water and moving very very barely, twice in a day or so. What can I do to make it more active?
1) get a bigger tank 2) get a heater 3) get a filter 4) get live plants 5) get good substrate 6) measure your water levels 7) change water everyday - until your water levels even out. - your betta fish had rot. That comes from poor water quality. Sadly I assume your betta is now dead, as you seek your information on a sick fish under a youtube video, and not by calling an fish store, that could have helped you save him. If I am wrong, and you saved his life, then kudos, and much respect! And I am glad I was wrong in my assumption.
My Betta names are blue fire, rainbow storm, green streak and the champion red warrior (he fights both sides effectively and faster than any other bettas) I trained him like Spartan training always fight grow feathers repeat. I really miss all my fishes they are great memories to me now and I will never forget them because they are in my heart. Do not let them fight each other they will tear each other apart guys. Just keep them happy then they will be more beautiful.
My beta is so sweet and very inquisitive watchd me clean other tankz he poops in the same spot to he loves his fresh blood worms hes really sweet with his kuhli loachs they sniggle up together its v sweet hel flair up if the plec gets to close to his adopted baby loachs. There like aquatic puppys hates it when you are not in the same room as you hel pace until you are back 🥲never thought id love a fish like my dog lol sad thry dont live long tho
My Betta fish (his name is superman) when I call him he always going through me and when I feed him I always do to feed I like him to jump the water to get the food like 2.5 inches away from him and I love him.
I grew up saying "Bayta" but most new fish keepers and say "Behta" and look down on the "Bayta" pronunciation... like it matters to the fish. Just say whatever suits you and take care of the fish. Nobody should care how someone says it.
Hii, my male makes his bubble nest and when I put my female in the tank he still chase her and attack hard. He does this with both of my females, so I'm a bit confused on what to do now because both females have eggs and the male has a ready nest but he's still brutal and attack. Do u know what this means or what I should do now?
slowly introduce them, put the females in a tank next to him (1 at a time) so that he can see her, do that for 1-7 days and then put her into his tank, make sure there’s a hide for them to escape each other. If they fight repeat the process.
I bought a betta fish with dark blue colour before four days and it is not eating my pellets. But it is active and making bubble nests. What should I do to make it eat?
Try some frozen foods - you can get them at any pet store with fish - frozen mini blood worms, frozen brine shrimp, frozen krill. Thaw it first before putting it in the tank. Did you cycle your tank before you put him in it? Do you have a heater? What’s the pH?
You can train your bettas by let them fight each other and separate them before someone lose and repeat with different fish don't let them get exhausted too much.
It was a misnomer on someone's part to decide that Betta Fish was more appropriate than Siamese Fighting Fish as a name. Sort of like renaming Angelfish as Cichlidae since that is their Latin name. Also one thing, I don't think Siamese Fighting Fish actually evolved in rice paddies since human civilization's rice paddies only go back to about 7,000 BC in Asia and that may be pushing it. But they certainly evolved somewhere where they needed to breathe air. Of course they do live in rice paddies today!
Most people don’t know they are in cups when they buy it in a cup? Betta fish don’t need a lot of space when they are in the cup for a week tops. As you said they are a “fly of the shelf” kind of fish so how is mistreatment? And they aren’t not carnivore they are insectivores
I accidentally learnt three things without knowing with Winter (my Betta's name), 1)He literally recognises me and follows my finger around instead of being scared
2)I was studying and pointed my pen at him (I don't know why lol) and he started flaring, I was first concerned not knowing why he was doing that
3)Everytime I wanted to feed him, he jumps to the food on my finger, instead of letting me place the food in the water, I got jumpscared a lot lol, but then I heard it's possible to train them some simple Betta tricks❄️💙❄️
Bettas are smart. You can train them to go through rings or small obstacle courses to reach their food.
I have four lol!!!

Don’t give your beta pellets, get flakes they can choke on the pellets.
Because they’re too hard ! , if you do have them soak them

seprate them for 24h then make them together, then once the female finish laying, seprate them again
