Yeah its like he has ON/OFF switch. Well shrimp have been evacuated. You won't believe but yesterday i noticed a tiny shrimplets hidden below the wood. So some of them survived, but i don't think many and he was so tiny i can't catch him.
Honestly, you are such a creative person. Your videography skills, craftsmanship, and editing are so astonishing. Especially with your last video of the terrarium. It’s mesmerizing, even without a voice over. I think you’re gonna blow up really soon, and I cant wait till it happens. Kudos to you, friend.
Drip acclimation is usually a bad idea, it can kill a lot of fish. Their transport water isn't in good condition and they need to get out of it as soon as possible. The bag should just be floated for 20 minutes.
You are correct. In 90% of the cases I will do plop and drop. In the other 10% of the cases if transport water looks clean but parameters of transportation water (temperature and pH) are different from aquarium water I will do drip acclimation.
Had a wild alien passed away a few months ago after having him for 3 half years was super picky like yours at first and I even had ghost shrimp in my tank ended up killing them and eating them. Thinking about getting another and probably end up getting a similar colored betta to that
Thanks for watching. Yeah although wild bettas are still bettas they are different in their behaviour than betta splendens. Go ahead and get another one. Dark blue is nice colour but he blends so well with his environment in the tank that sometimes I have to really look for him.
Hey Lenny. Yes that's definitely true, if he has something thats definitely character. When interacting with him on daily basis, you can definitely notice he is wild Betta. Bobetco was more like a dog and he is definitely more like a cat haha
My fish is not accustomed to pellets, so I don't give him food for several days until they are hungry. But after that, he knows how tasty pellet is 😁 As long as I know, live food such as bloodworm and water fleas are better than pellets
Thats one of the ways how to train your fish to dry food. I had different fish and I would say it really depends on their personality; some will refuse dry and some refuse live food. In the end if you keep them without food for few days they can be trained to accept any type of food.
I am using a Dennerle nano heater. For a 10 gallon I would go either with 25w or 50w depending on the fish you are planning to keep and the ambient temperature.
@@IMaqua Another thing, do wild bettas jump? If I add floating plants would they be able to jump out of the tank still? If so, what type of a lid do you recommend I could make or get.
Yes all Bettas will jump and I would recommend a lid. The easiest way is to do a DIY from corrugated plastic; I think I showed how to do it in one of my latest fish room build vlogs.
Thanks for the relaxing video, it’s helping me through some sadness. Your betta reminds me of my smaragdina betta Tlaloc, who’s also very picky. Unfortunately he’s sick right now :’( he has columnaris and I misdiagnosed his symptoms until it was unmistakable and by now I don’t think he’ll make it.
You are welcome. Unfortunately I also passed through something similar, I diagnosed my previous betta correctly with dropsy but unfortunately there was nothing I could do. I even made a video about it. I fully understand you. Did you start treating your betta already?
@@IMaqua yes, he's in a 2.5 gallon hospital tank but water is very shallow so he can come up and breathe. He has a bit of aquarium salt and I'm treating with furan-2 and kanaplex. So bummed for my little guy, until yesterday he had great appetite and it just looked like he had a small bit of fin rot/fin nipping and a few discolored scales on his head that I thought was a scrape. Three days ago I tested water and it was pristine but did water change anyways, treated with general cure, and removed glowlight tetra tankmates in case they were stressing him. Today he had the dreaded discolored, fuzzy patch :'(
I see you did all the necessary steps. Sometimes thats all we can do because these things happen very often. Don't blame yourself and I hope he gets better soon.
@@IMaqua:’) That’s very sweet of you and I watched your video about Bobetco, the situation was surprisingly similar. I’m also unemployed due to COVID try my best to care well for my fish. Tlaloc loves his jungle planted tank, his colors were always so bright and when he flares he’s truly stunning. It really helps to know that I’m not the only one. I’ll see how he reacts to treatment but I’m getting clove oil in case he gets worse by tomorrow. I would be so happy if he recovered, but for now I just wish he’ll have a peaceful and painless death. Thank you for the comfort
I never thought a wild one would be this colourful and beautiful loved your edit skilling also I'm glad that you didn't abuse it and put it in a bowl and your observing the tank too so when something happens you can make things right also try feeding your betta brine shrimp or bloodworms as a treat once a week
Welcome to the channel. Bowl is not an appropriate size for any fish and if all goes as per plan he will be moved to even bigger aquarium. Thanks for watching.
Unfortunately that's true. Most of the time people are just lazy to do the research. Its not normal for any living creature to be locked in a container, in this case a bowl that is only 2-3 times bigger than the size of the fish. I fully agree with you.
Do you mean betta imbellis in the video, Buddy? Yes after he destroyed red cherry shrimp population and I had to remove Endler guppies he is happily living with just 2 Amano shrimps and 1 nerite snail.
Yes it could definitely work, tank is big enough. But make sure to add Betta Imbellis last. You said community tank, what kind of fish do you have inside? That is something that should be taken into consideration.
@@IMaqua Currently, my 55 gallon community freshwater fish that I have is L183 Snowball Pleco, African Butterfly fish, Peacock eel, Albino Dojo loach (Is adapted now in tropical conditions in my aquarium), one Blue Vampire Shrimp. Also, and maybe 3-4 discus (not really sure if discus would be ideal to my aquarium)
Personally I wouldn't keep betta with discus. Although there are fish keepers who do keep them together, take into consideration that discus need tank that is more taller and betta need tank that is more shallow. The rest of the fish are ok, and its a pretty big tank so I think it should work especially with Betta Imbellis. But as you saw from my example they are not always "friendly and peaceful" but that has to do more with a fact that my tank is only 8 gallons.
@@IMaqua Oh ok thank you for your feedback and I will look forward to my aquarium necessarily for the betta imbellis (Peaceful betta or Crescent betta) compatibility. Also, forgot to inform you that my aquarium includes some or various plants in my 55 gallon.
Plants are always good, I mean every tank should have natural plants, filter and a heater. Betta Imbellis character is different than Betta Splendens, they are much more skittish, shy and "wild" but they are interested in their own way. But 55gal is big enough, i am sure he will find his own corner and territory inside such a big tank.
Wild bettas takes a little more patience to get them to start taking man made food. I dont feed my anything else and eventually when they are hungry enough they'll take it.
I guess he was just stressed from travel and also he was dropped into the new environment. After first few days he started eating regularly, no problems so far.
Very nice, I just scored one from a chain store for 6 bucks labeled as a delta tail. 😂🤣 I'll take it, if anyone wants to see him my IG is @betta_360, I'd appreciate someone to confirm he is in fact a Blue Imbellis and not a Imbellis X Splendens hybrid.. thanks in advance
It's normal that betta don't take industrial food in while days. Don't worry about that. Betta chasing constantly his food (some bacterias) in the tank. One of mine don't take the food a give to him while two months. He never starve.
@@IMaqua Now my betta (a galaxy koi plakat) "discovered" industrial food and jumping when he try to take it! For me Bettas are little people with strong character!
What an awesome awesome tank man Can you help me? What is the dimension of the tank and how are the plays so healthy and alive? How you keep them alive and algae free and what plats do you use. Please help
Dimensions are in the description of the video. I also had problems with algae. If you watch my whole "Betta Tank" series you will see i had all kf them green, brown blue-green, hair amd so on. I explained in those videos how I got rid of them. But mostly its always duration of light and excess nutrients.
@@mannyblackstar i didn't add any nutrients. All the videos of this series are on my Channel amd I have created a playlist called "Betta Tank". Start watching from EP1 and you will see all the algae I have encountered.
@@IMaqua Yeah, his songs are perfect for the aquarium genre!! I had a couple of his on my videos myself, but I think I will shift more to the lofi genre.. :)
Thats exactly what I was looking for but unfortunately TH-cam audio library doesn't really have a lot of lofi songs. There are nice songs on Epidemic sounds but that requires subscription. And regarding "No Copyright" songs you find be careful, these songs can become "Copyright" songs any day.
@@IMaqua true... One thing you can do is contact the song producer so you are sure you have an OK for commercial use. If it changes, well, you can always change it in the editor tool
You have all the information in the video description. Its a Dennerle nano cube 8GAL/30LTRs. This brand have couple of different sizes of Nano Cubes and they really look amazing with rounded edges. Also it is so small you can fit it anywhere. What are you planning to stock it with?
That sounds good. But stock it first with shrimps and after Betta. It could work it all depends of his personality. I would recommend you to go with bigger Amano Shrimps. Also depends where you are from, because I don't know if Dennerele brand is available in US. If you are from Europe you will find it easily.
Thanks for watching. The lid stand came with the aquarium. But if you want to order them there are some on Amazon (called Fish tank glass cover clips) with different sizes for different glass thickness.
I am sure "Buddy" would be thrilled with your idea haha but unfortunately at this moment I don't have any space for baby bettas. It is definitely something I would consider doing in the future when I get more tanks.
No I am from Europea, Croatia. I ordered it through transhipper (Flower Fish, Poland) and they got it from Thailand. I would say the whole process took around 3 weeks. I think they are doing a monthly shipment from Thailand to Poland. Everything was super fast, he was packed nicely and he is healthy. Where do you get your fish from in US? I think you can get from @Simply Betta or @Creative Pet Keeping, they have amazing fish and good youtube channels. Hope thats helps you.
@@IMaqua i haven't bought any fish through the internet yet. Just wondering if any can export to the USA. Seems like a long ride for the fish to handle.
I know my traveled few hours by plane. I once flew Bangkok to Europe, I think its around 10-12 hours. After that, they had a rest a couple of days. And then they were send to me by delivery service, usually 24-48 hours. So he didn't travel that much. If I had an option at pet shops i would buy but unfortunately where i live they don't sell betta fish and this was my only option. And whatever I ordered everything usually arrives in less than 24 hours (fish, shrimps and snails). I always pay more but at least animals arrive ASAP
Akvarij sa svime unutra je dosao nekih 200€. Riba je bila malo skuplja, tj. nije riba ni toliko skupa bila je oko 30€, nego je samo dostava 70€ jer je sve doslo express iz Poljske. Ipak se radi o ribi koja je tesko dobavljiva kod nas doma.
@@IMaqua e to me zanimalo dostava..Znaci 70e.S obzirom da krece na put s dalekog istoka i nije puno :) Kanal ti je super ...Te kvalitete ako se ne varam jedini u regiji...Koji dslr koristis i edit software?
Pa vjerovao ili za sada koristim samo mobitel Samsung s10e. Ok je, ali cim se radi o nekim situacijama tipa, low light jasno se vide nedostaci. U planu je prosirivanje kanala, fish rooma i kamere. Odlucio sam se za Sony A6400 i Sigma 16mm f1.4, plus jos mozda Sony 35mm f1.8. Sve editiram u Filmori. S obzirom da se radi o egzoticnoj vrsti bette i da dolazi sa drugog kraja svijeta, cijena je sasvim prihvatljiva.

He's so beautiful. It was really interesting to see him change colors. He's gorgeous even if he's a shrimp murderer. Another awesome video!
Yeah its like he has ON/OFF switch. Well shrimp have been evacuated. You won't believe but yesterday i noticed a tiny shrimplets hidden below the wood. So some of them survived, but i don't think many and he was so tiny i can't catch him.

Honestly, you are such a creative person. Your videography skills, craftsmanship, and editing are so astonishing. Especially with your last video of the terrarium. It’s mesmerizing, even without a voice over. I think you’re gonna blow up really soon, and I cant wait till it happens. Kudos to you, friend.
Hey Madison thanks for compliments. If and when the channel blows up I will remember this comment.
Love this!!!! Such care and attention to the edit as well. Beautiful!
Thank you and welcome to the channel.
This is by far one of the best aquatic tanks i've seen and awesome video captures! -bluntman from reddit
Thanks, and the best part its low maintenance and small size so everyone can afford one 👍
The setup looks amazing, so simplistic!!
Good work.
Thanks, I try to keep things as simple as possible without adding co2 or ferts. I think it resembles the nature much better that way.
Drip acclimation is usually a bad idea, it can kill a lot of fish. Their transport water isn't in good condition and they need to get out of it as soon as possible. The bag should just be floated for 20 minutes.

The betta fish be like:
“That damn cable...”
He is not really a big fan of the cables.
Lol
whats the size of your tank ?
Tank is 8GAL/30LTR.
Peaceful my ass. 🤬🤬🤬🤬 instead of “buddy” you should of named him “savage”😎
Well his natural instincts kicked in, maybe i will change it to "savage buddy" 😉

I do not recommend adding different bettas together.

I like the wild species that aren't bred extensively to have traits, the fish with those fancy traits tend to develop tumors
That's so true. I guess you are talking about betta splendens and their long fins. Unfortunately they pay those "beautiful" fins with their health.
@@IMaqua I see it everyday in betta Facebook groups, no one wants to talk about more responsible breeding to prevent these hereditary diseases.
Luckily I am staying out of Facebook. Number one trait bettas are breed today is long finnage and unfortunately their health is not as important.

@@IMaqua Oh ok thank you for your feedback and I will look forward to my aquarium necessarily for the betta imbellis (Peaceful betta or Crescent betta) compatibility. Also, forgot to inform you that my aquarium includes some or various plants in my 55 gallon.
Plants are always good, I mean every tank should have natural plants, filter and a heater. Betta Imbellis character is different than Betta Splendens, they are much more skittish, shy and "wild" but they are interested in their own way. But 55gal is big enough, i am sure he will find his own corner and territory inside such a big tank.
I had a betta that would murder any brightly coloured shrimp but leave the transparent and natural ones completely alone.
Well that makes sense. It's not good to be brightly coloured in the animal world.
What are the measurements in centimeters of the aquarium?
thanks...
I think I have them in video description. Dennerle Nano Cube 30L is 30x30x35.
Nice ! which camera did you used ?
Thanks. I have been using Sony a6400 that I got in March.
But this video has been recorded with my mobile phone. Samsung s10e.
Thanks !
You are welcome.
Wild bettas takes a little more patience to get them to start taking man made food. I dont feed my anything else and eventually when they are hungry enough they'll take it.
I guess he was just stressed from travel and also he was dropped into the new environment. After first few days he started eating regularly, no problems so far.
the wild type bettas have the best color scheme in my opinion it out does the show breeds
You could say show bettas have greater variety of colours but I fully agree with you; Wild Betta types have amazing colours.
Very nice, I just scored one from a chain store for 6 bucks labeled as a delta tail. 😂🤣 I'll take it, if anyone wants to see him my IG is @betta_360, I'd appreciate someone to confirm he is in fact a Blue Imbellis and not a Imbellis X Splendens hybrid.. thanks in advance
That seems very cheap for a pure breed Betta Imbellis, so probably its a hybrid.
@@IMaqua nope its a Blue Imbellis, already confirmed from several breeders, including Frank's Bettas. Just a lucky score due to a Mis labeling error
You were really lucky to get it so cheap. Its a really nice and interesting fish, so similar but at the same time so different than betta splendens.
It's normal that betta don't take industrial food in while days. Don't worry about that. Betta chasing constantly his food (some bacterias) in the tank. One of mine don't take the food a give to him while two months. He never starve.
Thanks for watching, and got used to his food now.
@@IMaqua Now my betta (a galaxy koi plakat) "discovered" industrial food and jumping when he try to take it! For me Bettas are little people with strong character!
Thats so true. And each of those little people has a different personality.
What do you use for the green floating circle and tube?
Its just a simple air hose tube glued with a super glue. Simple and efficient.
LESSON LEARNED DO NOT PUT CHERRY SHRIMP WITH A BETTA EVERY CHERRY SHRIMP EVACUATE NOW!
Well I took them out but the smaller ones multiplied and now I have hundreds of them.
@@IMaqua oh ok maybe the betta was hungry!
It was his natural instinct to catch them 👍
@@IMaqua true
My betta also kills shrimp for a while until getting addicted to pellets
so beautiful
Thanks.
What an awesome awesome tank man
Can you help me?
What is the dimension of the tank and how are the plays so healthy and alive? How you keep them alive and algae free and what plats do you use. Please help
Dimensions are in the description of the video. I also had problems with algae. If you watch my whole "Betta Tank" series you will see i had all kf them green, brown blue-green, hair amd so on. I explained in those videos how I got rid of them. But mostly its always duration of light and excess nutrients.
@@IMaqua what nutrients? That's what I wanna know. If you have explained on the video then can you please send me link?
@@mannyblackstar i didn't add any nutrients. All the videos of this series are on my Channel amd I have created a playlist called "Betta Tank". Start watching from EP1 and you will see all the algae I have encountered.
Very nice video quality
Thanks and welcome to the channel.
Amazing vid!
The song really reinds me of Enya's song - Only time! can't wait for my tank's water to reach yours clarity!
Following up!
Thanks Impy. I like the song, after all its Kevin MacLeod and his songs are amazing.
@@IMaqua Yeah, his songs are perfect for the aquarium genre!! I had a couple of his on my videos myself, but I think I will shift more to the lofi genre.. :)
Thats exactly what I was looking for but unfortunately TH-cam audio library doesn't really have a lot of lofi songs. There are nice songs on Epidemic sounds but that requires subscription. And regarding "No Copyright" songs you find be careful, these songs can become "Copyright" songs any day.
@@IMaqua true... One thing you can do is contact the song producer so you are sure you have an OK for commercial use. If it changes, well, you can always change it in the editor tool
Thats true, but that all comes at cost. So far I will keep monitoring TH-cam audio library, you never know when when next amazing song will come out.
What a beautiful little video.
Thanks. I am glad you liked it.
What size tank is that or what brand? I really like that tank and I really want to do something like that myself
You have all the information in the video description. Its a Dennerle nano cube 8GAL/30LTRs. This brand have couple of different sizes of Nano Cubes and they really look amazing with rounded edges. Also it is so small you can fit it anywhere. What are you planning to stock it with?
@@IMaqua I just want to have a betta and maybe shrimp if it works out
That sounds good. But stock it first with shrimps and after Betta. It could work it all depends of his personality. I would recommend you to go with bigger Amano Shrimps. Also depends where you are from, because I don't know if Dennerele brand is available in US. If you are from Europe you will find it easily.
Amazing! Hope to see more updates soon!
Thanks for watching and welcome to the channel.
Beautiful tank 😍
Thanks.
رائع و جميل جدا 🌹
🐡
Buddy is amazing! ❤️🇦🇺
Yes he was amazing. Wild Bettas are amazing and if I can get my hands on them again I will definitely keep them again in the future.
I haven’t seen any here where I am 😕
Awesome design ! , How can we find those lid stands ? ( at the corners)
Thanks for watching. The lid stand came with the aquarium. But if you want to order them there are some on Amazon (called Fish tank glass cover clips) with different sizes for different glass thickness.
@@IMaqua Thank you for you time and reply ! Cheers .
No problem, anytime.
So beautiful fish 🐠 I like it
My betta fish said he likes your profile photo.
Ok thanks
They are imported from Thailand.
I have recently heard of the wild betta. You can have both male and female in the tank. And they'll mate nonstop
I am sure "Buddy" would be thrilled with your idea haha but unfortunately at this moment I don't have any space for baby bettas. It is definitely something I would consider doing in the future when I get more tanks.
@@IMaqua how long was the shipping of buddy? Are you un the USA?
No I am from Europea, Croatia. I ordered it through transhipper (Flower Fish, Poland) and they got it from Thailand. I would say the whole process took around 3 weeks. I think they are doing a monthly shipment from Thailand to Poland. Everything was super fast, he was packed nicely and he is healthy. Where do you get your fish from in US? I think you can get from @Simply Betta or @Creative Pet Keeping, they have amazing fish and good youtube channels. Hope thats helps you.
@@IMaqua i haven't bought any fish through the internet yet. Just wondering if any can export to the USA. Seems like a long ride for the fish to handle.
I know my traveled few hours by plane. I once flew Bangkok to Europe, I think its around 10-12 hours. After that, they had a rest a couple of days. And then they were send to me by delivery service, usually 24-48 hours. So he didn't travel that much. If I had an option at pet shops i would buy but unfortunately where i live they don't sell betta fish and this was my only option. And whatever I ordered everything usually arrives in less than 24 hours (fish, shrimps and snails). I always pay more but at least animals arrive ASAP
Sramota za ove sta stiscu dislike.Nego reci mi koliku su te troskovi izasli bez cifre za ribu.hvala
I dislike se racuna kao interakcija tako da mi zapravo pomazu haha. Mislis cijena cijelog akvarija ili samo ribe?
@@IMaqua mislim na troskove oko dostave ribe
Akvarij sa svime unutra je dosao nekih 200€. Riba je bila malo skuplja, tj. nije riba ni toliko skupa bila je oko 30€, nego je samo dostava 70€ jer je sve doslo express iz Poljske. Ipak se radi o ribi koja je tesko dobavljiva kod nas doma.
@@IMaqua e to me zanimalo dostava..Znaci 70e.S obzirom da krece na put s dalekog istoka i nije puno :) Kanal ti je super ...Te kvalitete ako se ne varam jedini u regiji...Koji dslr koristis i edit software?
Pa vjerovao ili za sada koristim samo mobitel Samsung s10e. Ok je, ali cim se radi o nekim situacijama tipa, low light jasno se vide nedostaci. U planu je prosirivanje kanala, fish rooma i kamere. Odlucio sam se za Sony A6400 i Sigma 16mm f1.4, plus jos mozda Sony 35mm f1.8. Sve editiram u Filmori.
S obzirom da se radi o egzoticnoj vrsti bette i da dolazi sa drugog kraja svijeta, cijena je sasvim prihvatljiva.
Brutalan ti je, bas profi! I ja sam imala samo nisu bile tropske. Uglavnom, odlicno editirano, odlicna kvaliteta snimki!
Thanks, vjerovala ili ne sve je snimano mobitelom. Ali definitivno je u planu kupnja pravog fotoaparata.
