First of all: You, Lisa, are the reason I now have a betta in a tank on my desk!

And I definitely needed this video, because my poor little betta is not in great shape. I got her for free two days ago from a guy who couldn't keep her; she was being bullied by his other fish, so he temporarily re-homed her to a bucket (with heater and filter), but he didn't have a place she could live permanently.

Her fins are in a right state, and her tail was nearly completely gone - but both fins and tails are healing/regrowing and she seems healthy enough; lively and personable now that she's in an 8-gallon tank. I've never wanted a betta in particular, but I do love an underdog - so now she lives with me and I need to make sure she bounces back and becomes the best and happiest little fish she can possibly be! So right now I need to know the warning signs to look out for over the coming weeks as she settles in.

And I kind of love her, though she's not very pretty right now. She will be in time, if I do my job right.

Omg your beagle melted my heart ❤️Love the aesthetic of this video! Plants make me almost as happy as Bettas do.

Hi Lisa and John
I have been following youse and Aquarium Co-op for about 18mths now. I started watching for research about Betta fish. And I finally took the leap and bought my beautiful boy LB ( little big, little fish big heart) 😊 Anyway he arrived on Thursday, and on Saturday I noticed he had fin clamp (dorsel fin), and thanks to your channel I didn't panic. I changed the water and turned the heat up. And now he is swimming about happy... So Thank you 🥰 love from Aberdeen Scotland 💜

Lisa looks gorgeous in that intro with her houseplants!

i bought a betta fish day before yesterday, its a halfmoon blue male. i love the females, but it was there in my small local fishstore

I could hug you right now. My baby boy is sick and I didn't know why you was sitting at the bottom of his tank. I think it's swim bladder because it matches your description perfectly. Thank you.

I really like the style changes. The setup looks great. It looks so cozy and casual. I also love the old beagle. I wouldn’t mind seeing more dog cameos! Lisa looks so comfortable. Overall my unasked for feedback, is that I love all of the new changes that you guys have been experimenting with. 🤗🤗🤗 Plus the topic is such a important one! Great video!

We have a betta that spends lots of time laying on the bottom of the tank, we have him in a 10 gallon tank with a bubbler and a hang on back filter. We have 3 neon tetras and two Cori catfish in there with him. We do 50 to 70% water changes weekly. Im concerned he is sick but dont know where to start

I went to Petsmart the other day. They had 9 dead bettas, still in their cups, on the sales floor. I brought an associate over to show her and her answer was "They are right by the door so the cold air kills them" I was shocked at her answer!!! It's disgusting. We are currently setting up the tank we bought while there. I am going back to rescue a few of the females once it's ready.

I adopted 2 Betta fishies & one of them, I didn't realize at the time, had Ick when I got him. I have a split tank & worry it's too late for preventative for the other Betta. I've purchased Betta Fix & am dosing per the instructions. Today is day 2. I really hope I can turn this around.

another great informative video ! I tend to keep my betta's in 79-80 temps and I am glad to hear i am doing the right temp for them.

Love the snoozing pup on the chair! Thanks for the info.

One of my bettas is nearly always having problems. In fact, I got him because his previous owner couldn't figure out what was wrong with him and thought it was their fault. I was given practically every medicine along with the betta and his tank. What helped turned out to be vitamin-infused blackworms. But he gets finrot at the drop of the hat for no apparent reason. Nothing shows up in water tests. He's in a 10 gallon planted tank. I feed a varied diet. I've tried various medications over time. I give him time. He just doesn't regrow his tail or when he does, he gets sick again. I'm positive he has an awful immune system or genetics. Lately he just lays around and doesn't swim much. My other betta bit his tail a couple weeks ago and the missing piece is already growing/grown back.

Great video, I liked the new filming location.

It was very calming for a very intense topic.

Well done,

Jim
