I also have a betta. He is super peaceful. He lives with a female betta together. Half a year ago baby bettas were born. I let them take care of their Babys alone , now 6 young bettas (almost as big as their parents) are swimming in the tank. There are also shrimp, corys and fire tetras in the tank. They all harmonize fantastically. My bettas are very peaceful and relaxed. The dad is a long fin in Red and blue. The mom is a neonblue one. 3 of the Babys are like their dad. 2 of the babies are like their mom. And 1 baby is shiny white. I am really happy and think that this is really special. :) Oh, sorry for my bad english
@@ferretwonderland mine are in a shallow tank and the roots of houseplants hang in the tank. I have no filter. There is only weak lighting and heating at 78,8 F inside. That is it with the technology. There are also leaves from trees inside and many places to hide. I think that helped with the breed. Hope that helps :)
I have a betta that doesn't attack other fish either. Used to be alone in a 5 gallon til I moved him with my guppies into a bigger tank. This was a decision I made without knowing they were aggressive, but luckily he turned out to be a very calm and peaceful guy. Been in there for a year now
I've owned 9 bettas in my life, and only one has ever been aggressive. They get such a bad rep but out of the 6 I have right now, 5 are in community tanks with zero issues. I even have one who acts like a tired dad trying to manage a bunch of energetic little kids with the ember tetras and baby harlequin rasboras in his tank 😂
Same with me I’ve always had bettas growing up in community tanks not til I got older and started collection of my own did I come across one aggressive Betta but he does great wit his sucker and Cory .
it's not a "bad rap" to say bettas are agressive. it's theys f*cking nature. this is a harmful narrative for uneducated betta owners who will want to put several male bettas in a small tank. to do this, you need a massive tank & set up compared to what the average betta gets.
Our betta who recently passed away was actually depressed , all by himself in a 30 gal, my boyfriend had him before we moved together. I noticed he looked quite sad and lonely, wouldn’t swim around or explore much and I suggested we got other fish, we got 3 red wagtail platys and a school of 11 zebra danios and he never looked happier, and healthier, his colors became unbelievable. My boyfriend couldn’t believe it, he thought the betta would kill them all, but he was the sweetest fish ever. He loved the company.
I recently discovered a youtube channel talking about co-habing bettas as a community with multiple males and females from about the time of your comment here, bettas have individual personalities so having things to do around their home is important. I mean, wed be depressed if we lived in a hollow, empty home with no friends, no mates and nothing to do all day, right?
That is breathtaking. I loved the little spider with story…. & the intermittent ferret affection. Very sweet. I do have a beta named Mauricio. He is very friendly & acts much like a puppy. He needs attention or he gets depressed. I was shocked the 1st time I was moving things around in his tank & I was pulling my hand up to the surface slowly cupping my hand to remove some debris,… & he swam right into my hand when it was just breaking the water🐠💙 & stayed there!!I knew he liked to be touched because he would always glide by my hand. I don’t want to disturb his slime coat so I mostly just blow on him gently, he loves it. My strange little fish 🥰
Ive had so many different bettas throughout the years and they all had different personalities and temperaments.Some were super aggressive and tried attack their tank mates (and had to be separated ofc),some didn't do well on their own but came back to life as soon as they were in a community tank and behaved like a protective older sibling with the other fish .I even had one that was naturally timid and was scared of his tank mates even though he was bigger than them lol and thrived in a solitary aquarium.
My Betta lives with embers, ottos, amanos, and a snail. He was super active and peaceful when I got him and has been very playful in the tank since day one! Been almost a year now!
My orchid crowntail is very sweet. He enjoys me singing to him and makes a point to rub against my fingers when I feed him. He's in a 6 gal tank but I'm going to give him a ten gal more natural tank. That's why I've been watching a lot of these video's for ideas. That...and I'm blown away by the number of talented people out there building these beautiful habitats for their pets. They could do it for a living! I love all animals so much and it makes me so happy to see them get the homes they deserve.
what a lovely scape, well done. My Crowntail beta when i first got him was very aggressive and when i added him to my tank i had to remove my guppy to another tank. but after a couple weeks in his big tank alone he really chilled out. now he lives with cherry shrimp and a baby black mollie and shows no aggression towards them, I think its a combo of him not being used to his environment and the colors in the guppy which made him that way. now he's great and very happy in his 10-gallon planted tank.
I have a female betta with Harlequin rasboras, and snails. She’s extremely peaceful with her tank mates. Swims closely with them, they all live very peacefully together. She’s the peace keeper in there for sure, i caught her one time stopping some nipping between two male harlequins (I had just added a female harloquin, I assume they’re were competing) chasing them off in different directions.. I found that interesting. I’ve had male bettas only for a while, but My first female betta in this tank has been a treasure.. very underrated.
When I introduced my betta (Black Orchid) into an established heavily planted 20 gallon, he immediately was aggressive to every other fish in there (platies and a swordtail) but chilled out when faced with the one fish that was actually bigger than him (a female panda platy). He hasn't caused any problems since that day, even when I introduced another fish. He...just needs to be a little more proactive during feeding time lol
I just purchased a galaxy koi betta last week and currently she is in a hospital tank before moving to a larger one. She is so awesome! Her name is Lexi and I can't wait to see how she reacts to shrimp being in the tank. She is fairly aggressive for a female, but I do believe she will calm down in time. I love Red! Very beautiful fish, you have made a wonderful home for him. I believe bettas are happy when they have owners that genuinely care and give them enough space. When they feel they are crowded they get aggressive, just like we would.
my betta is young, like 3-6 months, he lives with guppys, cory, loachs and snails. I don`t know if he is only shy because of the age, but i`ve never seen him attacking or bullying the fish, just the snails, he hates the snails. over all he is a good boy and some times even playful
I used to have an all red betta like this, he was a rescue named Spot. He lived alone in a nicely arranged 10 gallon, and was almost 4 when he passed :( He was a really chill boy :) I now have a very dark blue one with ragged fins, and pale blue patches; very pretty but still small. Nice setup! 10:30 what a nice shot, so pretty 😍
About nine months ago I fulfilled my wish of having my own AQ. I used to have one when I was a teenager and now I thought it was about time to take it up as a new old hobby. I informed myself and planned and in the end I had an approx. 80L Aq with plenty of plant growth, hiding places and the basics. When the time came for the first residents to move in, the decision was very difficult for me. Since I felt really everyone and everywhere was advised against keeping Betta and Guppies together, it was only Guppies and Coris.After quite a while, the idea and liking for a betta didn't go away, I found a betta at the zoo, young, tagged as female, and in a tiny tank with lots of other small fish. When I inquired, it was just that, yeah, it's been here for a while. The Betta was almost completely white, pearly and short-finned. After much deliberation, I decided to take him with me. I made arrangements with the store staff that if it doesn't work out, he can go back. Today this fish is the best thing that could have happened to me. He taught me things that are important for a well running aq. And best of all, he feels good. he has grown super and has developed in color in a kind of red koi coloring. There is nothing left of the pale withdrawn shy betta. She - turned out to be a he - loves the place and gets along really well with the guppies. He likes to watch the shrimp that are brought in later and keeps my guppies birth rate under control xD He has his own space and loves to chill in the floating plants. From time to time, when a young guppy seems too pushy, he flairs at him, but with fins or general arguments and being unwell, I've never had a problem from any side here. On the contrary.. the shrimp felt like they had exploded, the guppies only have a few offspring and the coris..they don't care anyway.. You can say Bettas have a personality - I can agree with that 100% and I'm happy with mine to have made the best catch for me. And one more thing: Bettas work with other fish, including guppies, there are a few things to consider, such as the location and type of guppies and of course the character of the betta, but if everything fits perfectly.

@@lopezfam7317 what does this hve to do with the video or my comment?! Also, thanks for Adwise, but I've found the truth and remain faithful to Jehovah.
@@Croco_99 It's probably a bot, I'd ignore it. Your aquarium sounds lovely and I'm sure you made that beta one happy fish. Turned out to be male, interesting.
@@aquariusmoon771 yeah ..turned out .. bought it as a girl, but the betta was young and now after the fins are done growing and all.. its a male, still relativ short finned but the fin form and all clearly a male..but of all interesting: hes sooo sweet and friendly with all the other ones,
I had a beautiful male beta that lived in a huge community tank and he loved it. There were at least 16 different kinds of fish, from mollies and swardtails to an elephant nose, some sort of eel looking thing i can't remember the name of now and a dinosaur bicher (I know they are supposed to be aggressive to a point but apparently this one wasn't), as well as crabs, snails and shrimp. Everyone lived together peacefully and had long lives. The beta was so active and attentive and blew lots of bubble nests and was just all around happier than when he was alone.
@@janhabidey6098 the only community fish I would stay away from is a male guppy. the colorful tails would set off the beta. Then need to be in a large tank too, over crowding would cause fighting. Good luck if you try it but keep an eye on them the first few days to a week just to be sure!
@@ferretwonderland they are fine with females, and I had some luck with males that didn't have a lot of coloring in their tails but yeah, guppies with a lot of color is bad to have with a beta.
I had a 40g mixed community tank that had live plants everywhere and kept a male betta (he had plenty of leaves to lay on near the surface) and it also had a Bolivian Ram Cichlid in the tank. Everyone got along great! My big female Molly kept the peace among everyone lol!
I have 2 female bettas, 5 African dwarf frogs 8 khuli loaches and 4 tetras. The oldest female betta i have was super stressed when I got her ( grew with horizontal lines) now shes deep aqua blue with pink at times. She is very outgoing at times but is more reserved, doesn't like too much commotion. Other betta is neon pink and is spunky and outgoing always excited when she sees me lol
I have a Veiltail Dumbo Ear Betta who has been living with shrimp for the past 6 months (skittles box containing hundreds of shrimp which he’ll eventually pick off the babies) and he acts like a shrimp. I had to slowly introduce guppies to get him to act like a fish again. I also had another in the past who was best friends with an Electric Blue Crayfish and no torn fins or anything. Shared the same food and close living quarters. Bettas are weird, but thats what makes them so lovable.
Hey I have 1 male 1 female galaxy koi (plakat) betta both in their own tank with filter and heaters Live plants and a little home they both swim in thru . I want to upgrade them now both and was considering a 9 gallon or 15 gallon tank both with live plants and decor … could they live together in a 9 or 15 gallon live planted and decored tank? I
I have had several Bettas in my lifetime. I currently have two male halfmoon King Bettas named Alloy, being about 3"-3.5" long and Dante, being more like 2"-2.5" and still growing. Dante is extremely chill. Currently in my fully planted 20 long with 9-10 cobalt blue guppies, 4 ember tetra, 2 neon tetra and my last albino Cory cat. My tetra and Cory cat are all 5-6 years old which is mind boggling I still have them, guppies are all still young. Dante loves the heavy plants and does not mind having company. Alloy has a pretty docile temperament too but being he's so large, I have him his own 10 gallon as he's a bit of a show stopper. Silver and black until he's under a light then he goes ridiculous iridescent shine. He's super friendly too though. Bit of a pork chop though. I may put a couple otos in with him or potentially a couple hillstream loaches for cleanup crew. In the past my favorite was Cloud, also a halfmoon King. He was freakin huge and I had him for a long time. He was bit sassy and liked his own space so I never could keep him with others. Females are almost always the better choice with community tanks as they are more consistently less aggressive in my experience. Have had a few elephant ear, crown tail, bumble bee females as well. Honestly it's a case by case basis on Betta fish with others. I just seem to have a knack for picking the ones with the best personalities lol same thing happened with my snake Asterix too. He's my puppy dog in scales 😁
that is so pretty, i love how there is equal space for the abundance of plants as well as room for Red to explore. i have been saving the sick and depressed betta from my local pet store for about 3 months now. i have 10 as of now and plan to expand. i have 3 indigo, one platinum, an albino, a periwinkle, a copper, 2 blue females, and a red one named Clyde. they all have tiny personalities. some are smarter than others, some love to jump and bite and thrash my finger others don't know how to jump. some are easily startled some have no sense of fear. But all my betta have very cat-like personalities I've noticed.
My little blue veiltail is a mischievous sweetheart. When I first got him he loved to hide in the filter. Now in a bigger tank I make sure to have plenty of hiding spots and he loves it. Getting a roommate snail and eventually an African dwarf frog. Had 2 guppies but they were picking on him to the point where he started flaring for the first time ever. Up to that point he never flared at me. After I removed the guppies it took him a couple of days to figure out that he was ok. No more flaring yay
I don't have a beta, but I've always loved fish so I've done research. I know Beta's are usually fine as long as there is enough space in the aquarium because they are territorial fish! Ususally if there's enough room there aren't any issues. Obviously there will always be the odd one out, because they are wild animals after all, but they are gorgeous. I loved watching you make this!
I had a Betta in my community tank years ago. Tank was occupied by fancy tailed Guppies (male and female), tetras, rummy nose and snails and had no problems with the Betta going after the male Guppies. He'd try to nip them occasionally but they were faster than he was there so there weren't any injuries. Also it was a big tank (2ft x 1ft x 1ft) and I had less than 30 fish/snails total in it so he would retreat to areas where there weren't as many other fish if he wanted quiet time.
I got a Betta that we called Steve and got Red , Blue and White colors. He’s currently living in our 10 gallon aquarium with 6 Chinese Neon Tetras , 1 guppy , 6 Amano Shrimps and 4 Nerite Snails. He is very happy and never attacked anyone :) ! We really like him ! I gotta say that yours is very nice too !! Cheers !
Chinese neon tetra?? Do you mean captive bred neon tetras from China. They just called neon tetra as most are bred in Hong Kong and China although they South American. Chinese neon fish also known white cloud mountain fish. Which are actually cold water species. They are not in the tetra family. Chinese neon tetra is made up from the shops or clerks of shops.
I had a betta in my college dorm apartment and called him Ozymandius. He ruled over the tank, and his five harlequin raspbora tankmates. He never bothered them, but he was very active. Well school came to an end and it was time to move out. My dad came to help me pack and we drained most of the tank and put it in the back of his SUV. It wasn't too long of a ride, but boy did Ozzy get mad every time my dad came around in my bedroom where he lived after that! I think he ended up forgiving him, because Dad would often feed him. But he would recognize us! Wonderful fishy.
My betta Bob, is very calm and kind. Never jumped out or is aggressive. He just keeps a social and curious behaviour. Gracing through his tank to look for fun buddies. 😊 He is dark blue and red/violet. So beautiful. I love him dearly.
It sounds like you have a wonderful and friendly betta named Bob! It's heartwarming to hear about his calm and social behavior, as well as your deep affection for him. Betta fish can indeed display unique personalities, and it's fantastic that Bob is curious and enjoys exploring his tank.
They are actually sociable, as a former betta breeder I observed that they tend be aggressive if they were put in a separate smaller tanks (especially Males) but in a communal they are sociable fish.

I had a Betta when I was a kid, it's a blue one. They are known as Fighting Fish and the pet shop owner tried to scam me by saying the "battered ones" are experienced fighters and the missing fins are proof that they are "strong fighters". I wasn't dumb enough to believe them, those fishes were sick and they were about to die so I refused. Plus I wanted a Betta to live with the Guppies and Neon Tetras in my aquarium so I bought the a healthy blue one.
I have a betta, when i first got him he was black with white fins and pale white head, he was scared of everything, shy and aggressive. After some days he became very friendly and brave, now he always comes to me whenever i appear in his sight. His colours also changed A LOT, the white has disappeared and his head is now bright yellowish orange, his fins became bigger and now they're black with bright light blue stripes with a bit of red on the tips, the change is insane, he looks like a complete different betta now.
This.. I have no words for how stunning this is, the plants, the scaping... I'm copletely enfatuated with it. I do wonder how many gallons is that tank? You've inspired me to create something of my own for the betta I want to own in the future.
Since everyone is talking about how nice their fish are/were I'll change pace. My 2nd bettas name was Anger. He was _pure_ rage. As soon as you walked in the room he would have his flare out and he would be attacking the side of the tank. As you would walk by he would actively try to get to you and attack you. He hated anything alive. Watched him flip out when my dog walked past him even. He was all about violence and willing to dish it out. He would hop out of the water at my fingers when I would feed him.... None of my others or my current 3 have any kind of attitude like that and I think it's being bred out of them. Anger lived a long life and was a brilliant pure red. Dude didn't care of you were thousands of times his size he wanted a piece of you..
Very impressive build and peaceful to watch it come together ☺️ We have had mostly peaceful male bettas that have lived in community tanks with shrimp 🦐 and assorted tetras. More often than not, it would be the tetras that would end up nipping the at the bettas fins though 😒
I’m currently caring for 4 Bettas, 3 are males. My Black Orchid Crowntail, who I’ve had the longest, is in a tank with 7 Corydoras Catfish and a Siamese Algae Eater. He interacts with them and sometimes chases them but he isn’t aggressive- he flares at them but never bites. My second male is a Glofish I rescued from being on a store shelf for two months without food or clean water. He’s quite passive towards his Corydoras tank mates and they follow him around the tank. I don’t have tank mates for my other two Bettas yet, but I’m planning on getting some in the near future.
Lovely video! I have 6 betta boys right now and have been dying to try a paludarium for quite some time now. I do have a couple questions I would love to have answered though! How do you keep your water the correct temp for him? I didn’t see a heater (though I know many fish keepers have the room set to a specific temperature for their tanks) but if I needed to add one would it be possible? Also, water changes? Since there’s no active filtration other than the plants and circulation from the waterfall (that I could see at least) how do you keep the water levels stable/how often do you do water changes? Sorry for the long comment I am just incredibly inspired by this but want to make sure I do my research so if I attempt it, it’s done to the absolute best of my abilities! Thank you!!

I've had Bettas in my tropical aquariums many times with no problems at all. One female I had used to be friends with a large spiny eel. They liked to lay together in a sunken ship. A male I had another time was happy lying in a weed, like a hammock. I never saw any aggression from them against other fish. The tank I had was 400 litres and had many other fish species in, large and small. The only creature I had problems with have been yabbies. and shrimp. Nasty things they hunt the fish and my boy betta was taken one night by a blue yabby. I've also had a Blue Crown Betta boy who was free ranging for years. He had a small warmed tank for a few months of winter, it was his penthouse, but spent the rest of the year moving between a couple of rainwater barrels, old canoe or kayaks outside my kayak factory which collected water in. He used to come to my hand, and slide into it so I could move him to new lodgings where he'd have a ball chasing mosquito and other larvae. He was a beautiful fish, I called him Eel.
So lovely! A have a few bettas. My fave is Casper a platinum plakat that I bought as a baby. I’m in the process of a new tank for him. Your work inspired me!❤️🇦🇺
My beta named Buddy lived his entire life with other fish in a 10 gallon. Him, his girl Belle the Beast (she was so mean to him in the beginning), Speedy the Snail (and later Blue the Snail), lots of ghost shrimp (he loved his snacks), some little tiny eel creatures, and Sunking the goldfish (he looked just like the Pokémon 🤣). I got some heat about Sunking being in there but when I moved him out, both Buddy and Sunking stayed on the side of their tanks that was closest to each other. And both stopped eating. So I put Sun back.
Beautiful work, thank you for sharing !! I have two plakat bettas. One is in a community with ember tetras and Amano shrimp. The other cannot be kept with anything because he is super aggressive but is also more personable :)
I have had one blue betta for 1.5 years. He ate all his shrimp tank mates. He is my adorable grumpy old man. I just adopted a second red betta yesterday and have yet to learn his personality. But he is very curious and loves exploring all the hardscape and pothos roots in his new tank. He looks like your Red! Your tank is beautiful. New subscriber :)
I miss my blue betta, Moon 🥺 he was the same way and actually enjoyed the company ❤️ I got him very sick and dying from the petstore and once treated and put into his new home he thrived 😭 his colors got brighter and his tail seemed to fan out better and fuller but always had white tinted ends from the finrot 🥺 I hate the way pet stores treat and mislabel bettas. They're not meant to live in a small bowl they need full tanks with filtration and a good temperature ❤️ happy fish equals a great roommate for other small fish friends. Just make sure to do the research to make sure the setup is compatible for everyone living in there 🥰
So this is how this fish is called! My brother bought one for my mother's home aquarium, just beautifully blue. No other fish even cares that he/she is around. And the fish doesn't care about other fish, too.
I got a red betta before like a month.........it was so beautiful 😍 and very kind.......It was in room......now it knows me....now it was playing with finger 😍
Didn't see the video yet. just starting. I allways had bettas with othe animals even shrimp and other fishes. They where allways so chill. if they have the space and place to relax hide and sleep they are so nice :D
I have a Candy Plakat Betta with one blue/silver eye named “ducky” for 2 years now. Recently I put 4 rummy nose tetras in with him and all is well 👍🏻❤️
When I was little I had my father buy me 2 betta's from the same pet store together, one male and one female. They were both chill in the same bowl together. Unfortunately one died when my father was cleaning it because the male decided to jump in the boiling water. We put the female in the community tank where she thrived only for my father and younger sibling to think it was a good idea to put crawdads in the tank and she was eaten. Now that I'm older I decided to buy one male betta. Which I had for 6 months, he was a total scaredy cat. Everything was perfect in the tank, that was just his personality. Unfortunately he died the same day I got covid to unknown reasons.
This is an awesome video. Thanks for the insight on the drip method. There were 2 red bettas in my house and (especially if compared to more easily depressed blue bettas) they're extremely friendly and were very good eaters!
First time viewer and commenting. This is an amazing tank build. Where abouts are you located? You should consider building tanks for customers? I also appreciate your love for all animals.
i’ve been keeping bettas with corys and tetras since about 2018! the only problems i’ve had was when i attempted a female sorority tank who bullied eachother but left alone the corys and tetras and with my newest betta who has a lot of personality and is very young. he was bullying one of our tetras so we switched him to a tank with shrimp and he’s been very peaceful with them so far.
My beta Benji had a 10 gallon planted tank to himself after about a year I got a young albino Cory Catfish. I would feed my beta more often than the cory because the sink disks were too big and the catfish did not finish the food disks, but ever time I did my beta would sit on the sand with the catfish and push the disk towards the catfish and watch until she was done. When I introduced another cory catfish I found out it beta got mad and territorial. I found out the albino was female because she had eggs and babies with the green cory catfish. I like to think My Beta Benji was in love with my albino catfish and was mad that the emerald cory catfish stole her away.
I don't have a beta. I want one, as of right now though, we don't have the space or money. That goes for a lot of things- I wanted to thank you though. I'm pretty new to this channel, but it's beautiful. I really want to build aquascapes, paladariums, and terrariums as beautiful as you do. It's very beautiful to see what you make, so thank you.
What a beautiful setup, I strieve to spoil my betta like this one day! My betta Matt cannot have tankmates, he owns the whole house. But sometimes I feel like he's lonely.
for some reason i was able to have a 55 gallon betta tank for awhile, it was planted and had hides and such. i had well over 20 females 4 males, it was a sight to behold
I also have a betta. He is super peaceful. He lives with a female betta together. Half a year ago baby bettas were born. I let them take care of their Babys alone , now 6 young bettas (almost as big as their parents) are swimming in the tank. There are also shrimp, corys and fire tetras in the tank. They all harmonize fantastically. My bettas are very peaceful and relaxed. The dad is a long fin in Red and blue. The mom is a neonblue one. 3 of the Babys are like their dad. 2 of the babies are like their mom. And 1 baby is shiny white. I am really happy and think that this is really special. :)
Oh, sorry for my bad english
That's pretty cool. Getting a completely white fry from platinum white parent bettas is already hard enough. You got lucky.
Yes,you are so lucky and it is very powerful to successfully let the betta have a baby.It's so difficult to me now.
This is what I'm still working on.
what size tank are they in? that sounds like a dream pair of bettas. your english is great, dont apologize :^)
@@ferretwonderland mine are in a shallow tank and the roots of houseplants hang in the tank. I have no filter. There is only weak lighting and heating at 78,8 F inside. That is it with the technology. There are also leaves from trees inside and many places to hide. I think that helped with the breed.
Hope that helps :)
@@Fishhead436 Thank you. They are in a 6 gallon shallow tank. :)
I have a betta that doesn't attack other fish either. Used to be alone in a 5 gallon til I moved him with my guppies into a bigger tank. This was a decision I made without knowing they were aggressive, but luckily he turned out to be a very calm and peaceful guy. Been in there for a year now
Wow in pet store they told me bettas want to attack guppy bc they look like them and he think its other male betta
Female to nhi hai
Actually , they don't attack any Tetra type fishes
I'm sure all the other fish are happily swimming in circles and circles and circles.......
Betta fish will not attack any other fish that don't resemble betta.
I've owned 9 bettas in my life, and only one has ever been aggressive. They get such a bad rep but out of the 6 I have right now, 5 are in community tanks with zero issues. I even have one who acts like a tired dad trying to manage a bunch of energetic little kids with the ember tetras and baby harlequin rasboras in his tank 😂
Same with me I’ve always had bettas growing up in community tanks not til I got older and started collection of my own did I come across one aggressive Betta but he does great wit his sucker and Cory .
My tetra attack my betta
How big are most of your tanks
it's not a "bad rap" to say bettas are agressive. it's theys f*cking nature. this is a harmful narrative for uneducated betta owners who will want to put several male bettas in a small tank. to do this, you need a massive tank & set up compared to what the average betta gets.
My Betta also shares a tank with Harley Quinn rasboras and I've never had any problems.
Our betta who recently passed away was actually depressed , all by himself in a 30 gal, my boyfriend had him before we moved together.
I noticed he looked quite sad and lonely, wouldn’t swim around or explore much and I suggested we got other fish, we got 3 red wagtail platys and a school of 11 zebra danios and he never looked happier, and healthier, his colors became unbelievable. My boyfriend couldn’t believe it, he thought the betta would kill them all, but he was the sweetest fish ever. He loved the company.
Thanks for sharing your experience.It's a sweet story.
I recently discovered a youtube channel talking about co-habing bettas as a community with multiple males and females from about the time of your comment here, bettas have individual personalities so having things to do around their home is important. I mean, wed be depressed if we lived in a hollow, empty home with no friends, no mates and nothing to do all day, right?
That is breathtaking. I loved the little spider with story…. & the intermittent ferret affection. Very sweet. I do have a beta named Mauricio. He is very friendly & acts much like a puppy. He needs attention or he gets depressed. I was shocked the 1st time I was moving things around in his tank & I was pulling my hand up to the surface slowly cupping my hand to remove some debris,… & he swam right into my hand when it was just breaking the water🐠💙 & stayed there!!I knew he liked to be touched because he would always glide by my hand. I don’t want to disturb his slime coat so I mostly just blow on him gently, he loves it. My strange little fish 🥰
Thank you for sharing your experience.I'm deeply touched.
Ive had so many different bettas throughout the years and they all had different personalities and temperaments.Some were super aggressive and tried attack their tank mates (and had to be separated ofc),some didn't do well on their own but came back to life as soon as they were in a community tank and behaved like a protective older sibling with the other fish .I even had one that was naturally timid and was scared of his tank mates even though he was bigger than them lol and thrived in a solitary aquarium.
Thank you for sharing your experience.
My dad’s betta got bullied by many tankmates 😢 and died
My Betta lives with embers, ottos, amanos, and a snail. He was super active and peaceful when I got him and has been very playful in the tank since day one! Been almost a year now!
My betta cannot help but eat Amanos unfortunately
@@souljahaden6184 Oh no! RIP Amanos😔
My orchid crowntail is very sweet. He enjoys me singing to him and makes a point to rub against my fingers when I feed him. He's in a 6 gal tank but I'm going to give him a ten gal more natural tank. That's why I've been watching a lot of these video's for ideas. That...and I'm blown away by the number of talented people out there building these beautiful habitats for their pets. They could do it for a living! I love all animals so much and it makes me so happy to see them get the homes they deserve.
Thank you so much!!I am so glad too see your message and sharing your experience.
what a lovely scape, well done. My Crowntail beta when i first got him was very aggressive and when i added him to my tank i had to remove my guppy to another tank. but after a couple weeks in his big tank alone he really chilled out. now he lives with cherry shrimp and a baby black mollie and shows no aggression towards them, I think its a combo of him not being used to his environment and the colors in the guppy which made him that way. now he's great and very happy in his 10-gallon planted tank.
Thank you for sharing your experience.
I have a female betta with Harlequin rasboras, and snails. She’s extremely peaceful with her tank mates. Swims closely with them, they all live very peacefully together. She’s the peace keeper in there for sure, i caught her one time stopping some nipping between two male harlequins (I had just added a female harloquin, I assume they’re were competing) chasing them off in different directions.. I found that interesting. I’ve had male bettas only for a while, but My first female betta in this tank has been a treasure.. very underrated.
It really takes a while for observation.
When I introduced my betta (Black Orchid) into an established heavily planted 20 gallon, he immediately was aggressive to every other fish in there (platies and a swordtail) but chilled out when faced with the one fish that was actually bigger than him (a female panda platy). He hasn't caused any problems since that day, even when I introduced another fish. He...just needs to be a little more proactive during feeding time lol
Thank you for sharing your experience.
I just purchased a galaxy koi betta last week and currently she is in a hospital tank before moving to a larger one. She is so awesome! Her name is Lexi and I can't wait to see how she reacts to shrimp being in the tank. She is fairly aggressive for a female, but I do believe she will calm down in time.
I love Red! Very beautiful fish, you have made a wonderful home for him. I believe bettas are happy when they have owners that genuinely care and give them enough space. When they feel they are crowded they get aggressive, just like we would.
Thank you for your sharing.
my betta is young, like 3-6 months, he lives with guppys, cory, loachs and snails.
I don`t know if he is only shy because of the age, but i`ve never seen him attacking or bullying the fish, just the snails, he hates the snails.
over all he is a good boy and some times even playful
Thank you for sharing your experience.
I used to have an all red betta like this, he was a rescue named Spot. He lived alone in a nicely arranged 10 gallon, and was almost 4 when he passed :( He was a really chill boy :) I now have a very dark blue one with ragged fins, and pale blue patches; very pretty but still small. Nice setup! 10:30 what a nice shot, so pretty 😍
Thank you for sharing your experience and loving the video.
About nine months ago I fulfilled my wish of having my own AQ. I used to have one when I was a teenager and now I thought it was about time to take it up as a new old hobby. I informed myself and planned and in the end I had an approx. 80L Aq with plenty of plant growth, hiding places and the basics. When the time came for the first residents to move in, the decision was very difficult for me. Since I felt really everyone and everywhere was advised against keeping Betta and Guppies together, it was only Guppies and Coris.After quite a while, the idea and liking for a betta didn't go away, I found a betta at the zoo, young, tagged as female, and in a tiny tank with lots of other small fish. When I inquired, it was just that, yeah, it's been here for a while. The Betta was almost completely white, pearly and short-finned. After much deliberation, I decided to take him with me. I made arrangements with the store staff that if it doesn't work out, he can go back. Today this fish is the best thing that could have happened to me. He taught me things that are important for a well running aq. And best of all, he feels good. he has grown super and has developed in color in a kind of red koi coloring. There is nothing left of the pale withdrawn shy betta. She - turned out to be a he - loves the place and gets along really well with the guppies. He likes to watch the shrimp that are brought in later and keeps my guppies birth rate under control xD He has his own space and loves to chill in the floating plants. From time to time, when a young guppy seems too pushy, he flairs at him, but with fins or general arguments and being unwell, I've never had a problem from any side here. On the contrary.. the shrimp felt like they had exploded, the guppies only have a few offspring and the coris..they don't care anyway.. You can say Bettas have a personality - I can agree with that 100% and I'm happy with mine to have made the best catch for me. And one more thing: Bettas work with other fish, including guppies, there are a few things to consider, such as the location and type of guppies and of course the character of the betta, but if everything fits perfectly.
God bless you and God bless anyone reading this! Hope you have an awesome day! Seek him while you can! Jesus is the way and the only way and he is returning soon! Whenever you think you aren't loved... Remember the ultimate sacrifice was for love! ENDING YOUR LIFE IS NEVER THE ANSWER!

@@lopezfam7317 what does this hve to do with the video or my comment?! Also, thanks for Adwise, but I've found the truth and remain faithful to Jehovah.
@@Croco_99 It's probably a bot, I'd ignore it. Your aquarium sounds lovely and I'm sure you made that beta one happy fish. Turned out to be male, interesting.
@@aquariusmoon771 yeah ..turned out .. bought it as a girl, but the betta was young and now after the fins are done growing and all.. its a male, still relativ short finned but the fin form and all clearly a male..but of all interesting: hes sooo sweet and friendly with all the other ones,
I had a beautiful male beta that lived in a huge community tank and he loved it. There were at least 16 different kinds of fish, from mollies and swardtails to an elephant nose, some sort of eel looking thing i can't remember the name of now and a dinosaur bicher (I know they are supposed to be aggressive to a point but apparently this one wasn't), as well as crabs, snails and shrimp. Everyone lived together peacefully and had long lives. The beta was so active and attentive and blew lots of bubble nests and was just all around happier than when he was alone.
Wow hearing they can stay with mollies gives me some hope would love to try.
@@janhabidey6098 the only community fish I would stay away from is a male guppy. the colorful tails would set off the beta. Then need to be in a large tank too, over crowding would cause fighting. Good luck if you try it but keep an eye on them the first few days to a week just to be sure!
Betta is always attack guppy.
@@ferretwonderland they are fine with females, and I had some luck with males that didn't have a lot of coloring in their tails but yeah, guppies with a lot of color is bad to have with a beta.
@@wendy.allison Thank you for sharing your experience.It's very helpful to us.
I had a 40g mixed community tank that had live plants everywhere and kept a male betta (he had plenty of leaves to lay on near the surface) and it also had a Bolivian Ram Cichlid in the tank. Everyone got along great! My big female Molly kept the peace among everyone lol!
Thank you for sharing your experience.
I have 2 female bettas, 5 African dwarf frogs 8 khuli loaches and 4 tetras. The oldest female betta i have was super stressed when I got her ( grew with horizontal lines) now shes deep aqua blue with pink at times. She is very outgoing at times but is more reserved, doesn't like too much commotion.
Other betta is neon pink and is spunky and outgoing always excited when she sees me lol
Thank you for sharing your experience.
Man , this has just got to be the best tank build that I have ever experienced. Thank you for sharing. Keep them coming. Peace.
Thank you for loving it.
Naw....like l said....Thanx for sharing.😄
I have a Veiltail Dumbo Ear Betta who has been living with shrimp for the past 6 months (skittles box containing hundreds of shrimp which he’ll eventually pick off the babies) and he acts like a shrimp. I had to slowly introduce guppies to get him to act like a fish again.
I also had another in the past who was best friends with an Electric Blue Crayfish and no torn fins or anything. Shared the same food and close living quarters.
Bettas are weird, but thats what makes them so lovable.
Thank you for sharing your experience.
Having cared for 72 mated pairs and 29 solo bettas in my life, I can definitely attest to them having varied personalities.
Thank you for sharing your experience.
Hey I have 1 male 1 female galaxy koi (plakat) betta both in their own tank with filter and heaters Live plants and a little home they both swim in thru . I want to upgrade them now both and was considering a 9 gallon or 15 gallon tank both with live plants and decor … could they live together in a 9 or 15 gallon live planted and decored tank? I
@@leonardosoto7558 I successfully got a male plakat to coexist with a harem of 6. Had other fish with them. They need plenty of places to hide.
I have had several Bettas in my lifetime. I currently have two male halfmoon King Bettas named Alloy, being about 3"-3.5" long and Dante, being more like 2"-2.5" and still growing. Dante is extremely chill. Currently in my fully planted 20 long with 9-10 cobalt blue guppies, 4 ember tetra, 2 neon tetra and my last albino Cory cat. My tetra and Cory cat are all 5-6 years old which is mind boggling I still have them, guppies are all still young. Dante loves the heavy plants and does not mind having company.
Alloy has a pretty docile temperament too but being he's so large, I have him his own 10 gallon as he's a bit of a show stopper. Silver and black until he's under a light then he goes ridiculous iridescent shine. He's super friendly too though. Bit of a pork chop though. I may put a couple otos in with him or potentially a couple hillstream loaches for cleanup crew.
In the past my favorite was Cloud, also a halfmoon King. He was freakin huge and I had him for a long time. He was bit sassy and liked his own space so I never could keep him with others. Females are almost always the better choice with community tanks as they are more consistently less aggressive in my experience. Have had a few elephant ear, crown tail, bumble bee females as well.
Honestly it's a case by case basis on Betta fish with others. I just seem to have a knack for picking the ones with the best personalities lol same thing happened with my snake Asterix too. He's my puppy dog in scales 😁
Thank you for sharing your experience.It's good to know.
Jumping spider's guest appearance was adorable. Can't believe he jumped in the water to catch a fish!
The spider is really cute.
He's still walking around next to my fish tank.
that is so pretty, i love how there is equal space for the abundance of plants as well as room for Red to explore. i have been saving the sick and depressed betta from my local pet store for about 3 months now. i have 10 as of now and plan to expand. i have 3 indigo, one platinum, an albino, a periwinkle, a copper, 2 blue females, and a red one named Clyde. they all have tiny personalities. some are smarter than others, some love to jump and bite and thrash my finger others don't know how to jump. some are easily startled some have no sense of fear. But all my betta have very cat-like personalities I've noticed.
Thank you for loving it.It's so good to hear that.I'm touched. I feel you love them very much! They must feel very happy.
I've kept male Beta's in a community tank without a problem.
I think they are only aggressive towards other male Beta's.
Great job on all your tanks.
Females can be a bit territorial towards other females as well. Or at least they choose a pecking order so you gotta have more than two.
Thank you for sharing your experience,and your support.
They can be aggressive with frilly fish that look similar. Eg certain types of guppy, probably some long finned fish also
My little blue veiltail is a mischievous sweetheart. When I first got him he loved to hide in the filter. Now in a bigger tank I make sure to have plenty of hiding spots and he loves it. Getting a roommate snail and eventually an African dwarf frog. Had 2 guppies but they were picking on him to the point where he started flaring for the first time ever. Up to that point he never flared at me. After I removed the guppies it took him a couple of days to figure out that he was ok. No more flaring yay
Thank you for sharing your experience.
I don't have a beta, but I've always loved fish so I've done research. I know Beta's are usually fine as long as there is enough space in the aquarium because they are territorial fish! Ususally if there's enough room there aren't any issues. Obviously there will always be the odd one out, because they are wild animals after all, but they are gorgeous. I loved watching you make this!
You did great research,Nothing wrong in theory.
You can try to keep it,The fish is very healing.
Thank you for loving it.
I had a Betta in my community tank years ago. Tank was occupied by fancy tailed Guppies (male and female), tetras, rummy nose and snails and had no problems with the Betta going after the male Guppies. He'd try to nip them occasionally but they were faster than he was there so there weren't any injuries. Also it was a big tank (2ft x 1ft x 1ft) and I had less than 30 fish/snails total in it so he would retreat to areas where there weren't as many other fish if he wanted quiet time.
Thank you for sharing your experience.
I got a Betta that we called Steve and got Red , Blue and White colors. He’s currently living in our 10 gallon aquarium with 6 Chinese Neon Tetras , 1 guppy , 6 Amano Shrimps and 4 Nerite Snails. He is very happy and never attacked anyone :) ! We really like him ! I gotta say that yours is very nice too !! Cheers !
It sounds really good.I would love to see your fish tank.Cheers.
Chinese neon tetra?? Do you mean captive bred neon tetras from China. They just called neon tetra as most are bred in Hong Kong and China although they South American. Chinese neon fish also known white cloud mountain fish. Which are actually cold water species. They are not in the tetra family. Chinese neon tetra is made up from the shops or clerks of shops.
I had a betta in my college dorm apartment and called him Ozymandius. He ruled over the tank, and his five harlequin raspbora tankmates. He never bothered them, but he was very active. Well school came to an end and it was time to move out. My dad came to help me pack and we drained most of the tank and put it in the back of his SUV. It wasn't too long of a ride, but boy did Ozzy get mad every time my dad came around in my bedroom where he lived after that! I think he ended up forgiving him, because Dad would often feed him. But he would recognize us! Wonderful fishy.
Thank you for sharing your experience.
this video was aesthetically tranquilized my body n soul. i can see u very passionate person . perfect suggestion from yt
I really appreciate it.It's very sweet of you!
My betta Bob, is very calm and kind. Never jumped out or is aggressive. He just keeps a social and curious behaviour. Gracing through his tank to look for fun buddies. 😊 He is dark blue and red/violet. So beautiful. I love him dearly.
It sounds like you have a wonderful and friendly betta named Bob! It's heartwarming to hear about his calm and social behavior, as well as your deep affection for him. Betta fish can indeed display unique personalities, and it's fantastic that Bob is curious and enjoys exploring his tank.
They are actually sociable, as a former betta breeder I observed that they tend be aggressive if they were put in a separate smaller tanks (especially Males) but in a communal they are sociable fish.
Thank you for sharing your experience.

Wow this is a very beautiful aquarium setup, I love to watch this kind of video❤️
Me tooo
Thank you for loving them.
I had a Betta when I was a kid, it's a blue one. They are known as Fighting Fish and the pet shop owner tried to scam me by saying the "battered ones" are experienced fighters and the missing fins are proof that they are "strong fighters". I wasn't dumb enough to believe them, those fishes were sick and they were about to die so I refused. Plus I wanted a Betta to live with the Guppies and Neon Tetras in my aquarium so I bought the a healthy blue one.
Thank you for sharing your experience.
When they’re given enough space, they blossom! Just like any creature truly
I also always look forward to seeing them blooming.
I have a betta, when i first got him he was black with white fins and pale white head, he was scared of everything, shy and aggressive. After some days he became very friendly and brave, now he always comes to me whenever i appear in his sight. His colours also changed A LOT, the white has disappeared and his head is now bright yellowish orange, his fins became bigger and now they're black with bright light blue stripes with a bit of red on the tips, the change is insane, he looks like a complete different betta now.
Thank you for sharing your experience.
This.. I have no words for how stunning this is, the plants, the scaping... I'm copletely enfatuated with it. I do wonder how many gallons is that tank? You've inspired me to create something of my own for the betta I want to own in the future.
Thank you. It's 10 gallon.
Since everyone is talking about how nice their fish are/were I'll change pace. My 2nd bettas name was Anger. He was _pure_ rage. As soon as you walked in the room he would have his flare out and he would be attacking the side of the tank. As you would walk by he would actively try to get to you and attack you. He hated anything alive. Watched him flip out when my dog walked past him even. He was all about violence and willing to dish it out. He would hop out of the water at my fingers when I would feed him.... None of my others or my current 3 have any kind of attitude like that and I think it's being bred out of them. Anger lived a long life and was a brilliant pure red. Dude didn't care of you were thousands of times his size he wanted a piece of you..
Very impressive build and peaceful to watch it come together ☺️ We have had mostly peaceful male bettas that have lived in community tanks with shrimp 🦐 and assorted tetras. More often than not, it would be the tetras that would end up nipping the at the bettas fins though 😒
Thank you for sharing your experience.
I’m currently caring for 4 Bettas, 3 are males. My Black Orchid Crowntail, who I’ve had the longest, is in a tank with 7 Corydoras Catfish and a Siamese Algae Eater. He interacts with them and sometimes chases them but he isn’t aggressive- he flares at them but never bites. My second male is a Glofish I rescued from being on a store shelf for two months without food or clean water. He’s quite passive towards his Corydoras tank mates and they follow him around the tank. I don’t have tank mates for my other two Bettas yet, but I’m planning on getting some in the near future.
Thank you for sharing your experience.
Lovely video! I have 6 betta boys right now and have been dying to try a paludarium for quite some time now. I do have a couple questions I would love to have answered though!
How do you keep your water the correct temp for him? I didn’t see a heater (though I know many fish keepers have the room set to a specific temperature for their tanks) but if I needed to add one would it be possible?
Also, water changes? Since there’s no active filtration other than the plants and circulation from the waterfall (that I could see at least) how do you keep the water levels stable/how often do you do water changes?
Sorry for the long comment I am just incredibly inspired by this but want to make sure I do my research so if I attempt it, it’s done to the absolute best of my abilities!
Thank you!!
Pause on 10:29, put on full screen mode. Absolutely gorgeous!
It's very sweet of you!
This is absolutely stunning What a fabulous home you have made for "Red" and their tank friends, just beautiful :)

I've had Bettas in my tropical aquariums many times with no problems at all. One female I had used to be friends with a large spiny eel. They liked to lay together in a sunken ship. A male I had another time was happy lying in a weed, like a hammock. I never saw any aggression from them against other fish. The tank I had was 400 litres and had many other fish species in, large and small. The only creature I had problems with have been yabbies. and shrimp. Nasty things they hunt the fish and my boy betta was taken one night by a blue yabby. I've also had a Blue Crown Betta boy who was free ranging for years. He had a small warmed tank for a few months of winter, it was his penthouse, but spent the rest of the year moving between a couple of rainwater barrels, old canoe or kayaks outside my kayak factory which collected water in. He used to come to my hand, and slide into it so I could move him to new lodgings where he'd have a ball chasing mosquito and other larvae. He was a beautiful fish, I called him Eel.
Thanks for sharing your experience.
So lovely! A have a few bettas. My fave is Casper a platinum plakat that I bought as a baby. I’m in the process of a new tank for him. Your work inspired me!❤️🇦🇺
Thank you for loving it. Casper a platinum plakat it sounds so beautiful.look forward to seeing your new tank.
You're like Master of Expanding Foam. So awesome lol
Haha, thanks! Expanding foam mastery unlocked!
Aquascapes, spiders and ferrets are three of my favorite things in the whole world. Thanks for the awesome video. Subbed.
Thank you.
My beta named Buddy lived his entire life with other fish in a 10 gallon. Him, his girl Belle the Beast (she was so mean to him in the beginning), Speedy the Snail (and later Blue the Snail), lots of ghost shrimp (he loved his snacks), some little tiny eel creatures, and Sunking the goldfish (he looked just like the Pokémon 🤣). I got some heat about Sunking being in there but when I moved him out, both Buddy and Sunking stayed on the side of their tanks that was closest to each other. And both stopped eating. So I put Sun back.
Thanks for sharing your experience.
Man, you are genius. You literally created a dream world.
Thanks for your support.
They're fish! They're gonna act just like everyone else. Little guys are amazing
Thank you so much for loving it.
Beautiful work, thank you for sharing !! I have two plakat bettas. One is in a community with ember tetras and Amano shrimp. The other cannot be kept with anything because he is super aggressive but is also more personable :)
Thank you for sharing your experience.
I have had one blue betta for 1.5 years. He ate all his shrimp tank mates. He is my adorable grumpy old man.
I just adopted a second red betta yesterday and have yet to learn his personality. But he is very curious and loves exploring all the hardscape and pothos roots in his new tank. He looks like your Red!
Your tank is beautiful. New subscriber :)
Thank you for sharing your experience 😊and welcome FERRET WONDERLAND
Very beautiful video, good craftsmanship, nice terra/aquascape(forgot the term sry.) But overall its calming to watch. 😍
Thanks for your support.
I miss my blue betta, Moon 🥺 he was the same way and actually enjoyed the company ❤️ I got him very sick and dying from the petstore and once treated and put into his new home he thrived 😭 his colors got brighter and his tail seemed to fan out better and fuller but always had white tinted ends from the finrot 🥺 I hate the way pet stores treat and mislabel bettas. They're not meant to live in a small bowl they need full tanks with filtration and a good temperature ❤️ happy fish equals a great roommate for other small fish friends. Just make sure to do the research to make sure the setup is compatible for everyone living in there 🥰
Thank you for sharing your experience.
Thanks for saving that cute spider 🕷 ☺ 😍
They are so cute.They formed a tribe in my home.lol
So this is how this fish is called! My brother bought one for my mother's home aquarium, just beautifully blue. No other fish even cares that he/she is around. And the fish doesn't care about other fish, too.
Thank you for sharing your experience.
Insanely relaxing. I've been looking for ideas for a baby turtle I found. Im so glad I found your channel.
It's very sweet of you!
This is the best betta fish setup I've ever seen. I wonder, what does this aquarium look like now? Would you like to film it? Please 🥺
AWESOME video very high quality! keep them coming!
Thanks for your support.
awesome shooting and music, so relaxing
Thank you so much for loving it.
You should consider painting and sealing the foam after you carve it! That way it can look more real :)
Thank you so much for your suggestion.
Outstanding job, I could watch your Red Betta all day. 😊
Thank you so much for loving it.I'm deeply touched.
I wonder why you didn't used real stone instead of that foam? Isn't more healthy?
Super cool Red Betta, amazing job on the tank!
I really appreciate it.
I got a red betta before like a month.........it was so beautiful 😍 and very kind.......It was in room......now it knows me....now it was playing with finger 😍
It sounds great.Betta fish are really interactive, like cute puppies.
Didn't see the video yet. just starting. I allways had bettas with othe animals even shrimp and other fishes. They where allways so chill. if they have the space and place to relax hide and sleep they are so nice :D
You can make more bigger tank for them.
I have a Candy Plakat Betta with one blue/silver eye named “ducky” for 2 years now. Recently I put 4 rummy nose tetras in with him and all is well 👍🏻❤️
I had Candy Plakat Betta ,too. They are really beautiful.But his personality isn't quite the same as yours.
When I was little I had my father buy me 2 betta's from the same pet store together, one male and one female. They were both chill in the same bowl together. Unfortunately one died when my father was cleaning it because the male decided to jump in the boiling water. We put the female in the community tank where she thrived only for my father and younger sibling to think it was a good idea to put crawdads in the tank and she was eaten. Now that I'm older I decided to buy one male betta. Which I had for 6 months, he was a total scaredy cat. Everything was perfect in the tank, that was just his personality. Unfortunately he died the same day I got covid to unknown reasons.
R.I.P
Thank you for sharing your experience.If you are ready, you can raise another one.
You can definitely give him a better environment.
My 2 bettas are living with my other 9 orandas
Both the bettas seem enjoying
Both are white in color and way too calm
They even play with the orandas
I imagine your tank.It's feeling beautiful and peaceful.
I thought it was only me who usually save a spider whenever it fell on the water. LOL. Nice.
LOL,I think it's because they're so cute.
This is an awesome video. Thanks for the insight on the drip method. There were 2 red bettas in my house and (especially if compared to more easily depressed blue bettas) they're extremely friendly and were very good eaters!
Thank you for sharing your experience.
I love blue bettas they're beautiful
My betta is also the same.He doesn't
Attack any other fish or shrimp.And your ferret is really cute.❤️❤️
Thank you so much. You are lucky man,too.
Amazing video, great cinematic and a beautiful aquascape.
I’ve never seen such a calm betta fish before 🐠
You can breed them to have mild/calm personality. Thing is breeders usually pair aggressive ones.
I really appreciate it.Thank you so much for loving it.
Großartiges Aquarium mit wenig Mitteln, etwas handwerklichem Geschick und viel Kreativität.
Danke
First time viewer and commenting. This is an amazing tank build. Where abouts are you located? You should consider building tanks for customers? I also appreciate your love for all animals.
Thank you so much for your suggestion.I really appreciate it.
i’ve been keeping bettas with corys and tetras since about 2018! the only problems i’ve had was when i attempted a female sorority tank who bullied eachother but left alone the corys and tetras and with my newest betta who has a lot of personality and is very young. he was bullying one of our tetras so we switched him to a tank with shrimp and he’s been very peaceful with them so far.
Thank you for sharing your experience.
Que beleza de aquário, parabéns.
Gostei muito da aranha saltadora e da furão fêmea.
obrigado

My beta Benji had a 10 gallon planted tank to himself after about a year I got a young albino Cory Catfish. I would feed my beta more often than the cory because the sink disks were too big and the catfish did not finish the food disks, but ever time I did my beta would sit on the sand with the catfish and push the disk towards the catfish and watch until she was done. When I introduced another cory catfish I found out it beta got mad and territorial. I found out the albino was female because she had eggs and babies with the green cory catfish.
I like to think My Beta Benji was in love with my albino catfish and was mad that the emerald cory catfish stole her away.
Thank you for sharing your experience.
awesome video
Thank you.
I don't have a beta. I want one, as of right now though, we don't have the space or money. That goes for a lot of things- I wanted to thank you though. I'm pretty new to this channel, but it's beautiful. I really want to build aquascapes, paladariums, and terrariums as beautiful as you do. It's very beautiful to see what you make, so thank you.
Not much required very low cost to keep betta they can leave without oxygen also.
When you are ready,it's never too late.
Another great video!
What camera do you use to film your vlogs?
Sony rx100 M7
after seeing this video I want to buy betta fish again😁
🇧🇷 isso é muito impressionante 🤪
obrigado
I have a White Opal male betta. He’s very curious and energetic. Beautiful fins. Also, that is the most gorgeous aquarium I’ve ever seen💕
Thank you for sharing your experience.
Though i like betta less, I'm amazed by how she swim in that beautiful scenery 😍
Thank you so much.
I also have a red betta fish, I keep him with shrimps and tetra fish. He never attacks them, he is a really gentle fish.
Thanks for sharing your experience.
看到跳蛛我就按讚了
哈哈，跳蛛真的超可愛的！
Lovely little Feret 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰 white Pupper. Calling it Whitsy 🥰🥰🥰🥰🙏🙏😇😇😇 if female or male Whizzer... 😊😊😊😊😊
Lovely video. My first betta was very peaceful. My second betta is a bit aggressive towards my shrimps. Always searching for them.
Thank you for loving it, and share your bettas.
Bruh I got this as a random suggested video & this has to be one of the coolest creative aquarium I’ve seen. Well done mate!
Thank you so much!!
This is definitely going in my aquascape inspiration ideas list
It's my pleasure. Look forward to seeing yours.
What a beautiful setup, I strieve to spoil my betta like this one day! My betta Matt cannot have tankmates, he owns the whole house. But sometimes I feel like he's lonely.
He has you!!
Wow this is like the coolest thing I’ve ever seen
Nicely done and creative workmanship. Please make other designs and post them here. 😊
Thank you so much! I’m glad you liked the design. I’ll definitely keep creating and sharing new designs. Stay tuned for more exciting projects!
How did you get the mist flowing on top?
This was the most peaceful video I've seen in forever. Highly appreciate it!
Ha-ha, thanks. I feel flattered.Thank you so much!!
This reminds me of custom table top diy diorama, very cool 👍
Thank you!!
That's a beautiful scape you have, I do love betaand shrimp together, my next tank I'm doing just that
It's very sweet of you!
for some reason i was able to have a 55 gallon betta tank for awhile, it was planted and had hides and such. i had well over 20 females 4 males, it was a sight to behold
