I just committed to getting a betta and this video just summed everything up perfectly for a new owner. Spent over a month researching how to care for one and $150+ to set up the tank since I went full extra to be able to keep him at the office. Coworkers couldn't understand why. Finally, I had to explain that adopting a cat or dog is easy because they live in the same environment as you but you are responsible for CREATING a healthy environment for a fish.

After two months, he's now the office's mascot. Folks come to "visit" him when they're stressed and have even gone as far as donating a dollar or two for his continued care, with talk of adopting a second office betta!

Thank you, Lisa. I lost a Betta due to ignorance, and he got ich. Our AC cooled his water to levels that he was not used to 70F. You and John are the BEST!

I’m really loving my beta! He is my first fish and I can’t believe how much I enjoy him. He is a curious fun little guy! He love when I put new toys in the tank so I switch them out.
All you info has helped me so much!

The "too big tank" thing happened to my betta when I first got him! I put him in a 20 gallon tank and he was circling the perimeter and glass surfing non stop for days. I moved him to a 5.5 gallon tank packed with plants and he settled right down.

First, I want to say how much I love that you suggested a book that you are not affiliated with. That truly shows how dedicated you are to are to making sure folks have a guide to take care of happy Bettas! But you also answered a question I was going to ask the next time I was lucky enough to see a live stream. I have a 20 gallon tank with some "odds & ends" fish (3 Tetras and 2 Zebra Danios that survived longer than their buddies when I bought them to school in my 30 gallon tank a few years back, and a Bristlenose Plecolatapus! LOL!!!) ) I visited a Petco recently and they had a NOT SO PRETTY Betta that I just really felt sorry for. I named him Quasimodo. Anyway, he seems super happy in my 20 gallon, and he's getting along with everybody! But I was worried about what to feed him. I bought some Betta food, but how could I be sure he got that when I was feeding those others, too? Well, now I know that he doesn't HAVE to eat only Betta food. Blood worms and Bug Bites are among foods I was already feeding and he LOVES No worries now about the foods. :-) Thanks, Lisa. You're the Betta

"Your poor husband" lol i freakin love you guys! You literally described half the "betta keepers" here in the states. Keep up the good work!

I lost a betta a couple of months ago due to swim bladders disease:( I was so sad and I was extremely heart broken. Now that I allowed myself to heal, learned to stay on top of tank maintenance and not over feeding. My new Tropical Betta is doing excellent and he’s so happy ❤️

Thanks for sharing! I'll have to check out that book. Also I'm super stoked to say that the store I work at I work at is letting me upgrade the betta cups to bigger cups. Its the most we can do with permission from corporate. The next step is to get a betta wall built after I talk with corporate.

my King Betta Houdini had been looking depressed in the 40 gallon (as my centerpiece because I want mostly schooling fish) but as I've slowly added more to avoid spiking the bioload he's gotten less depressed looking and a little more active. Thankfully he doesn't chase down fish and bully them, he just slowly approaches them and likes to remind them who the big boy in the tank is lol

[sneekyalexa]

I wasn't aware that a tank could be too big for a betta, it's good to know but I think that makes me continue to enjoy them because they can thrive in a 5 and 10 gallon and don't require something huge. I say this because it's a lot easier to convince someone to get a 5 or 10 than a 20 or 30! Personally, I have 3 boys and I let them have a few weeks at a time in a full 20g whereas the other two are in a divided 20g! I guess slowly transitioning to a bigger tank makes it less scary becaude my boys enjoy it! (This big tank has quite a few live plants! :D)

Water conditions and food variety is key to keeping your Bettas healthy and happy.

Such a perfect video for beginner and more advanced fish keepers! 👍👍

I feel like this was good timing. I've never heard of a betta living for 9 years, that's truly unbelievable. Just lost two of my betta's this week, one female in a 40g community tank that went from completely fine to found dead within a day, all other fish and parameters good in the tank (had her close to 2 years), and one small male in a 10 that had been going downhill for 6 months, some combination of damaged fin rot/fungal issues, that I just couldn't seem to solve with erythromycin or mild salt or cattapa leaves (had him closer to 3 years).

Gutted as our Betta, midnight passed away a few days ago. We had him almost 9 months from my LFS. He was in a 8gal planted tank by himself. Mixed diet and regular water changes. Didn't know how old he was when we bought him but I think he was getting old, as over the last few months he wasn't swimming around much and a few nights before he passed he stopped eating :(
S.I.P midnight :(
