I literally laughed out loud after you said about "multi tank syndrome".. i just realized it now.. i bought one tank at first, and to my surprise i have 6 tanks now, in just 2 months.. it's really not that cheap for fishkeeping generally! 🤣😂😅

I have 2 male betta in a 55 gal, planted tank along with guppies, tetras, rasboras, gourami and shrimp. They are same size and species, were added at the same time and I spent a lot of time pushing them apart with my finger at the beginning. Then I grabbed one and moved it to the other side of the tank. Took a few days of this but now they are good to go.

I have a Groot air stone. I think every Betta is an individual and perhaps categorized on a whole. My Betta loves the air stone bubbles. He dives into them, or relaxes & allows the bubbles to push him around the tank, just chilling as they do. Phylex is a very playful phish. I also have a wave filter for aeration. He loves the Jellyfish in the tank, will hang out on the side of it, and fluff himself out, or swim up it, & make his bubble nest under the dome.

I was lucky, we had a local pet store in my small town and they helped me know so much about keeping birds and fish.

Thank you for all the wonderful information, I'm newly a betta owner and am watching your videos religiously. I'm more accustomed to keeping reptiles, I'm finding it really funny how many of these myths can apply to them, too. Have a wonderful day, everyone. :)

Thanks to a girl in my class overhearing my conversation I didn’t get a bowl, thank god she was there bc now I have a cute little betta in a 5 gallon tank

I used to be employed at the "best" smaller pet store in my local area about a decade ago and have just now started to try and improve my skills and try my hands at a planted setups. It's been good at times and rocky at others with months of research going into it. Regardless, point being, I can confirm that your average pet store employee really doesn't know what they're talking about and normally are just trained to run a cash register with a few guidelines to follow because the entire intention is "must sell product." At least in my experience with reptiles (I've had over a dozen different types of snakes, several lizards including a savannah monitor and tons of arachnids), I used to get in trouble for not upselling things the customer absolutely did not need or even worse could potentially poison their animal, and for things they could have saved money on (like the silk plants that are $30 something a pop that dollar store plants can do the same). It's really sad, but the fact is most big box stores are basically a warehouse for dry goods and don't have any actual intention of getting a hobbyist going.

I got one 5 gallon for my betta. I don't know how I ended up with 3 extra 10 gallon tanks, plus a brine shrimp tank. Do these things breed in captivity...? 🤔🤣 Your videos are great, thanks for all the info!

Hi Harry! Thanks for making this video 😄

Great info! Thanks for putting it all together and sharing it with us!

I feed freeze dried blood worms and shrimp patties to my two Betta fish and yes they are thriving in two separate tanks they have a 6.5 gallon tank and a 10 gallon tank! I'm proud to learn about their care. And yes I have a short fin female Dumbo ear Betta fish with 4 African dwarf frogs in my 10 gallon tank and they are happy together. No one is after each other. And my female Betta won't even eat to much either. She eats what she wants and leaves the rest for the frogs. ❤ I'm proud of her. She learned fast. As I rescued her last Friday.

out of the 3 bettas i have kept my og one used to make lots of small bubble nests may he rest in peace. my current veiltail has never made a nest and my plakat only made 1 huge nest when i first added him and the heater overheated and went to 30 degrees. also have a gold gourami which never made a nest but idk if he is a boy or a girl and even then the flow in the tank would destroy it

Thank you for sharing this video 🙂👍

Very imformative 👌🏻

excited to watch this video

Very insightful!! ✨

I have a really cool male veil tail betta. He is awesome, active, curious and comes when there is activity next to his tank. I moved him from a 7 gallon to a 15 gallon 2 weeks ago. There is both heater and a pat mini filter. I monitor the water changes, and can see the nitrite go steadily down, the nitrate goes down. The water is very hard, but the PH and KH is within normal range. I added roots, some botanicals, and have anubias on small rocks, ozelot plants in the background, and floaters on top. Right now, as I am still balancing the tank, I do water changes every 3rd day, and do around 15 percent change. I use tank water cleaner (AquaSafe), and add biofilter, and fertilizer for the plants. His fins are big and floaty, and his colors are bright blue and red. I am how ever still struggling to find the right location for the filter. He does not like stream, and he flares at the filter, if the flow is too strong. I have it on a half setting now, under the surface, buffed off. He likes it now, but I dont have surface agitation. When I try to set it up with surface agitation, he dont like it. I have tried to put the filter output behind something, but then I dont get agitation on the whole surface. I have now given up, I am going for what makes him happy, and added small surface floater plants to simply cover it up, and give him some roots to float in. The ozelot plant has big leafs that also cover the surface, and give shade to both the betta and the anubias. He lives there with 2 zebra snails. He is somewhat peaceful with them, but he does bully the biggest one of them around a little. I have some concerns, I cant seem to find answers to. Maybe you can help me. I really wanna give this dude his best life :D - How important is the surface agitation? I have a filter, the nitrite and nitrate is stable and low (and going down as the new tank settles in), and I do regular water changes with a gravel vacuum? Did I make a mistake with just filling up half the surface? - Is he lonely? He is very active now, but also aggressive. I dont mind having him alone, but I do wonder if he is lonely. He has many spots to hide and explore, and I try to move stuff around to make it interesting. I play with a mirror about once a week to exercise him. But is he happiest alone? Or is he lonely? he does not seem bored.

its so informative thank you.

These videos are awesome🔥

This is an awesome video! I wish more people could see it!!!

Please make a giant betta care guide

I agree with all but the last one because I have 4 female bettas in a 10 gallon planted tank and there thriving they get feed live worms and other bugs

Great advice!

Your videos "rock" keep up the great work... btw, peace ✌️✌️

Harry could you please tell me where to purchase that blue adapter with the hose clamp on your faucet that was connected to the python? Ty

Hi Harry, I have a quick question about your divided tank. I see that the physical barrier keeps the two betta apart, but do they experience any stress from sharing water with one another? I've been interested in doing a divided tank like yours and would love to hear more of your experience with it so far

i recall my veiltail gorging on blanched cucumber for my shrimps a few months ago. fasted him for a few days and he went back to normal

i have watched many videos on betta keeping but i have not heard anything on ph and soft water requirements. is it because these two aspects are not important to raise a healthy betta?

I have 3 tanks one is all plastic plants the other two are all real plalnts...so i bought the second one full ready for 150 dollars with equipment. 2 of the tanks i found them in trash and i fixed them with special glue...for aquariums. My planted 3rd and last tank i made...i used dirt from the ground the one we use for roses then i threw in there some little rocks from a river. 2 big river wood. I have a led light around 2000 lumens and thats good my 70litre tank. I started the cycle before putting fish with fish food. I have no filter just a pump of water moving the water i have plants and grass 2-3 months now...and its gowing pretty well. I also have a heater and thats all. The whole cost of it was 40 euros without the plants total was aroudn 60 euros. I already had chemicals etc. I had a sorority dont try they kill each other. Betta can live tho from experience with neon tetra if they are many above 8 pieces. Betta always kill the weakest day after day they even work together to kill the weaker betta and that goes on u cant relax them there is no way i had caatapa leaFS and all kinds of stuff going. Salt helps with wounds...but there is no way im getting back to that mess... i wanted a male betta now i got one...and after my plants will grow as i multiply an egeria densa by cutting a part of it and sticking it on the ground i will eventually after months have enough oxygen to add more fish like neon...for cleaners i use snails...they stop multipling if u dont over feed...if tho food is on the ground they grow more eggs. Plecos dwarf dont go in planted tanks i put one from my fake plants tank in my planted and cause they move fast they throw dust in the water and its a mess...thats all i know...also shrimp is killed my betta i thought of doing it. Thats all hope i gave u some help with some stuff. Im in the hobbie for over a year...probably more than i can remember. Also dont waste alot of money on bacteria. Put fish food in the tank ever day raise ammonia crazy then throw 20ml of bacteria...then wait and keep feeding with ammonia...after a week throw more bacteria to help it more...and wait repeat the proccess till u read on ur tests that u got zero ammonia when u stop feeding. Plants also help with ammonia. After u cycle it put fish...so u can avoid the ammonia spikes. Plus after adding fish expect that bioload is higher so the tank will need more tests to be run...so u can know what up with bacteria u might need to give it some more plus water changes... okay thats all i could think of for a new person in fish keeping good luck.

The myth number 3 , I learned the hard way. The pet store employee said 5 gold fishes can stay in a 5 gallon tank. But now I’m well aware about what fishes can stay how, I’m currently cycling a tank of a betta which is a 15 gallon tank.

DO MORE MYTHS

I have a couple of bettas in my tank that love playing in the bubbles of the air stone

İ had 4 female bettas and 3 glofish i sadly didn't know they are not the best tank mates but i inexperienced self decided to buy 2 more female betta fish. keep in mind that the seller told me that they were molly fish so i bought two more. when i added them to the tank one was calm but stressed while the other was aggressive towards others she kept bothering others including my mystery snail i couldn't do a thing because i have a 55 liter tank and i don't have any space for another after 2 months she is stressed and i can't do anything about it she still can't get along with others but is much more calmer,do you have any suggestions of calming it down?

Please consider to get a job as narrator of audio books, love your voice! 💕 ...Also, great information every of your videos 10/10

Yup. But my Bettas seem to do fine with the glass bubble filters I made. Tank circulation matters...dont want stagnant water.

Im planning to get a betta fish that has a blue and white color i have a 5 gallon tank hope is perfect

Most big box stores are going to tell you whatever they think you want to hear , they are their to sell

I only keep one Betta and try to keep costs down with bulk buying.

As someone in this profession I have to say this is a nightmare for allot of reasons 🤦‍♂️ you know how much time I spend helping people out of situations due to stuff like this.

Is Saint water is bad for beta fish tank

Additional video!

Hello i just get a betta male fish. I asked the employee at pet store they told me to feed them every 2 days since they dont eat a lot. But when i check on google it says twice a day. Can someone explain i’m still new here.

It disgusts me when people keep them in tiny cups and little tanks they need at least a 10- or 16-liter tank with plenty of room for their flowing fins. The pet shop I go to luckily does not have them in cups but rather tall tanks

I'm going to use thanks thave enough room too Go up-and-down side to side. Or swim around for betas if the aquarium is not like that when I examine them for that swim room If the aquarium is like though small aquariums that they say urban Earth for betas. I normally don't get because to me. There's not enough swim room. And in the water in the wild where betas normally come from Because it's a Big Creek or Lake.

Are biotin and vitamin e the same thing

science!

I’ve never seen bettas in cups in UK pet shops. I’m grateful we seem to have higher animal welfare standards here than in the US.

Yep, I have that multi tank syndrome, LMBO 😆 🤣 😂

😀

I have a male Betta in a 3.5 is that still to small

My waters suddenly becomes very hard. Went from about 400 ppm to like 600 ppm anyone know how I can lower it??

i lose a fish friend 😢 it was crazy my fault i break my own heart but people say its only a fish

i had to convince my aunt not to buy me a 1.2 gallon tank:(

I have try ember tetras for tank mates with my betta 😔 not a great idea he was running after them and I prefer to not stress them so I remove everything of 6 - only 2 are alive 😭 I’m so sad! Everyone said it’s a great combo 😭 I think they were stressed too much

my female betta is filled with eggs.. what do i do?

800th like

I spent 550 dollars on my betta and his tank combined

My betta tank has no filter but that’s because it’s a heavily planted twenty gallon. I still test the water once a week just in case though.

Can I add an onion as a plant? I'm feeding mine blood worms, I don't want the onion to kill him. I didn't think he would eat it. I just wanted to see if an onion plant would grow with him.

I thought it was Bet-ta, not Bet-a

100% pet smart said that bettas prefer to be alone. I threw a Cory in the tank and they’re best fucking buds

Female Bettas 😢 don't get along i tryed that 1 time don't do that 😭😭😭😭😭

The betta centerpieces at weddings... It's just so DUMB and disgusting. Like what on earth are these people even thinking?! "Oh honey, I know what's super romantic - animal abuse 💕! We MUST have animal abuse at our wedding, it just wouldn't be the same without!" Make it make sense.

@pharmaquatics - i have a question and hope you reply. i have air bubbles for all my betta tanks and the reason is to keep my live plants alive. i read an article that at day time the plants inhale carbon dioxide, while at night time, they inhale oxygen. do you think my live plants will not last long if i remove the air bubbles? live plants are not also cheap 🥲 please advise
