I have had my fish about 5 weeks, I am overdue for a cleaning. How often should I do this? And do you temp the water by touch/feeling or thermometer? Thanks!
My cousin has a Betta fish in a 1 gallon tank with no filter. The Betta fish is vertical with the head facing up. She feeds her fish way too much a day. What do you recommend? I'm planning on getting the fish a new tank, and helping her with a new fish for a video. Do you think that fish is able to be revived? The fish has been like that for a year. Or should I put it to sleep?
Get a bigger tank the smallest u can get is 2.5 gallon tank or above for the heater it has to be between 72For 75F to 80F or just a little above not to much get a filter feed it twice a day if u have a smaller tank clean it twice a week feed it maybe some dry frozen shrimp I think make sure cut it small enough for it to eat or get bettamins small pellets if ur going to clean its tank completely DONT EVER USE SOAP just try Rinse it off as much as you can don’t use something hard or rough to clean it with
My first betta fish. .I need to change some of the water. . How do I know the clean water emperature is the same ? I dont have a thermometer I don't want to kill my fish .
Would you thinknit would be a good idea to use an aqueon quietflow 3 filter in a small 1 gallon bowl. I'm not the owner just pet sitting but she won't let me change the bowl and the water is often dirty because she does not clean very much...any help please fish looks so sad.
Some people have the hand pump where you just squeeze it a few times and the water starts flowing...but there’s also ones that don’t. For me I have to but the tube and fill it up with water then put it up in the air and empty it out half way then quickly put it back into the water and the water almost immediately starts getting sucked out ( sorry if I was no help.)
Okay so it’s been about a month since I’ve had my Betty and she seems to be doing great! However, the last couple days I’ve noticed her fins being ripped up. :( I cleaned her tank and checked all the decor for anything sharp and didn’t find anything sharp enough to be shredding her fins up. Have you experienced this? :( Also how many times a week do you recommend cleaning the tank ? It’s a 5 gallon tank and I’ve only been cleaning it once a week. Could that be why? Thanks for any advice!
Here is a link to a video that I just so happened to come across when I was doing research before getting my betta. I don’t know if it is definitely tail biting, but it is a possibility :) th-cam.com/video/KLmpiaK7lOg/w-d-xo.html
Thank you I will watch it! It’s a rip right down the middle and I don’t think she can even get to that spot herself but who knows. I just hope they heal! I googled it and it said it could be either the water or over feeding so I cut back on feeding her to see if that helps!
Wait can I still remove the decor as long as I don't wash it? It's because i have a big piece of decor, and I think it might get in the way of the vaccum
well what if my filter broke on vacation and there are HUGE algae blooms.. i feel like i need to drain allll the water im scared its toxic to my fish..
You can feel both the old and new water with your elbow and make sure it's the same temp if you don't have a thermometer with you and you desperately need to clean ur water. Just a tip :)
57b lytton hobbys it’s called ick , go to a PETSMART or PETCO or any pet store tbh LOL and get something called ick Control and it will get rid of it pretty fast :D
My friend has a 0.7 self cleaning tank no filter dechlorinator or heater she changes 100% water every time and she has a betta in there I told her that this is wrong but she did not care she said that’s to much work and her fish almost died and she did not care she forgot even his name but my betta lives a better life
Probably from the amount of light which enters the tank, causing algae build up. You can try and scrub plants, rocks and other decor with a toothbrush and then suck up some of the algae with the gravel siphon. Try your best to remove it that way or you could buy some products from the shops. This is only what I think the problem could be since I have experienced the same issue, I am no fish expert so it could be something else.

I wish I had found this video sooner. I lost a fish and now see the mistakes I've made. This is the best most explanative vid I've seen, thank you!
I just bought a gravel vacum, it's awesome. No more carrying the tank to the bathroom, less mess. Thanks for the tutorial.
Thank you for this very helpful tutorial. It’s our first time to do water change.
Thank you for this video! Do you disinfect or rinse the pitcher and siphon after you’re done cleaning the tank? Or let it air dry? If so, how? Thanks!
I just let everything air dry!
thank you for this! how often do you clean your tank? and do you know how often an unfiltered tank should be cleaned?
Usually every 1-2 weeks. For an unfiltered tank, usually every 2-3 days
Thanks for this share.
It really helped me alot.
I now realize, I've been
cleaning my
Betta fish tanks
the wrong way.
Glad to jave found
this video!
This is a very helpful video? How often should I clean my 3.5 gallon betta tank?
If you use the tank water to clean the filter do you have to put the water back in after you're done using it?
I have had my fish about 5 weeks, I am overdue for a cleaning. How often should I do this? And do you temp the water by touch/feeling or thermometer? Thanks!
Water changes twice a month are generally recommended
Should I keep fish in the tank even when adding in the clean water??
Thank you!!! So I don’t need to take everything out and clean with tap even if it’s fake plants and such?
No! Plants can stay in the tank
Chewy's Bro Aquatics thank you for this video!
This was great 👍🏻 Really appreciate it!
This was awesome!
Hi, I would like to know what I need to search on amazon so I can get the tool that you used to clean the glass of the aquarium
Do you use snails to eat Algae as well? I just bought an Ivory snail for mine
Any suggestions on what tank to get for my betta?

No reason to kill a perfectly fine fish. Just get it a bigger tank that’s heated and filtered
@@ChewysBro Ok just was making sure.
Get a bigger tank the smallest u can get is 2.5 gallon tank or above for the heater it has to be between 72For 75F to 80F or just a little above not to much get a filter feed it twice a day if u have a smaller tank clean it twice a week feed it maybe some dry frozen shrimp I think make sure cut it small enough for it to eat or get bettamins small pellets if ur going to clean its tank completely DONT EVER USE SOAP just try Rinse it off as much as you can don’t use something hard or rough to clean it with
Your back👏👏
Do I still need to condition it if I had natural spring water? I get so many mixed answers on this!
I would - but you may not need to! Test your water!
Chewy's Bro Aquatics alright! I already condition just in case, I appreciate the response!
Does the salt water tank you have linked work for bettas ?
My first betta fish. .I need to change some of the water. . How do I know the clean water emperature is the same ? I dont have a thermometer I don't want to kill my fish .
where to buy the sucking thing and the name of it
Can you still reply for this video of 4 years ago if I ask a question?
Would you thinknit would be a good idea to use an aqueon quietflow 3 filter in a small 1 gallon bowl. I'm not the owner just pet sitting but she won't let me change the bowl and the water is often dirty because she does not clean very much...any help please fish looks so sad.
Yeah a filter would be great
so how do you get that siphon started? I've tried several diff ways to no avail!
Some people have the hand pump where you just squeeze it a few times and the water starts flowing...but there’s also ones that don’t. For me I have to but the tube and fill it up with water then put it up in the air and empty it out half way then quickly put it back into the water and the water almost immediately starts getting sucked out ( sorry if I was no help.)
Thanks man! Great video

Some bettas actually bite their fins, I have personally never had it happen, but I’m sure there is a way to stop it :)

I have a tank with 3 fake plants and a fake wooden log thats like a cave i washed 1 plant with tap water will my beneficial bacteria go?
what if you have sand as your substrate on the bottom? i have a ten gallon for my betta and have sand and botanicals as the live plants
great video, answers lots of my questions thnx
Wait can I still remove the decor as long as I don't wash it? It's because i have a big piece of decor, and I think it might get in the way of the vaccum
Yes!
thank you sm!!!!🙏🙏🙏
Thanks for this video
well what if my filter broke on vacation and there are HUGE algae blooms.. i feel like i need to drain allll the water im scared its toxic to my fish..
how do u make sure it is the same temp
You should already have a thermometer for your tank, just use that to check temperature
How am I supposed to make sure the water is exactly 78 degrees :( Can it just be room temp.
Sorry this is late but you can by a stick on thermometer
You can feel both the old and new water with your elbow and make sure it's the same temp if you don't have a thermometer with you and you desperately need to clean ur water. Just a tip :)
Bro please tell how to get rid of betta white spot fungus
57b lytton hobbys it’s called ick , go to a PETSMART or PETCO or any pet store tbh LOL and get something called ick Control and it will get rid of it pretty fast :D
Hey my betta lives in a one gallon tank what should I do
Get a bigger tank
Oh wait you probably meant what should u do to clean the tank - still follow the same process but more frequently. I would get a bigger tank tho
My friend has a 0.7 self cleaning tank no filter dechlorinator or heater she changes 100% water every time and she has a betta in there I told her that this is wrong but she did not care she said that’s to much work and her fish almost died and she did not care she forgot even his name but my betta lives a better life
In a 1 gallon tank
Hey there i have algee on my decor what should i do about it
Me too idk what to do 😖😖
Cet something bigger than 1.4 gallons......
what i do is use a clean (BRAND NEW , NOT USED!!) toothbrush & rub it in circular motions over the decor :)))
My tank keeps getting green any idea why ?
Probably from the amount of light which enters the tank, causing algae build up. You can try and scrub plants, rocks and other decor with a toothbrush and then suck up some of the algae with the gravel siphon. Try your best to remove it that way or you could buy some products from the shops. This is only what I think the problem could be since I have experienced the same issue, I am no fish expert so it could be something else.
Never clean one before
You seem so sweet. Really great video
hi i am chairamae
Are there still beneficial bacteria on fake plants? (please ignore my profile it's a joke I promise)
If the plastic plants were left in an established aquarium, yes
Your tank is to small it should be at lest 5 gallons
Omg you think everything is your way like people can clean their tanks how every they like to
Super helpful, thanks!
Thanks for the video
