@yukiiasakii9758 Жыл бұрын

The workers may try their best to care for the fish but they are usually shipped from terrible breeders and in bulk, most of which dying, sick or close to death. Its not reliable buying from a pet store because of that reason, but I do know that the workers always try to ensure when the fish is purchased, they are being purchased with and into a good environment. its not that they don't care, its just where the fish come from that makes it a bad choice.

I buy bettas from two places. A local breeder who was recommended to me by a friend of mine who had a great experience with fish from that breeder or I go to my local pet store/ pet center since its more affordable and I have a larger selection and you can see the colors and varieties that may fit into my standards and aesthetics. The seller I buy from sends videos to me when I inquire about that I am in love with and is very very nice when he shows me the current stock and what are the colors or tail types available and the overall experience is very great and the fish I own now are groomed in such a way that they revealed their recessive color genes and patterns in a way that makes them look more beautiful than they already are and I enhanced their colors by keeping them in fresh water and enough food to keep them happy.

I remember going to my pet smart in my area a few times and each time had different health of the bettas. First time they were sluggish and slow, next time they were decent, a few more times and it’s still like that. Went there for some supplies for my first betta that I’m getting later, all of the bettas were super healthy, swimming good, lively, bright in color, and what I noticed was, it was because each person who took care of the fish had a specific knowledge level, most recent time the girl was awesome, she knew about all the fish

Sonic is very pretty! I just recently lost my 1 yr old betta, Dwight. He'd been suffering from some fin rot and despite all the treatments I gave him (following your advice along with others) he still didn't make it. Was never able to figure out exactly why it happened because my tank wasn't overstocked, I always keep up on maintenance, and the water parameters are good. My assumption is that my pH was just too high and caused him stress after a while. Now I'm looking for a replacement but I just can't go with a betta. Too much heartache for me right now :(

But I've always had good quality fish from them, and I'm surprised that I've had no issues, wondering if they had better quality control. Plus, the betta I bought is a female and she's grown to be HUGE so I think she's a good fish 😊😊😊

They’re also usually reasonably priced and will let you pick the betta up from their breeding site if you don’t want to risk shipping.

Thank you! Hmm, I haven't actually heard that theory before. What some people do at the store (if they have their betta fish in cups) is to put two cups next to each other and see if one of the bettas is calmer and doesn't react to the other betta. Not sure if it works, but it's worth a shot.

Irene - my betta has ragged fin edges and slits in his fins (both within and at the ends) but otherwise acting fine. The water got out of whack (nitrites up to 0.5). I just completed a course of doxycycline. It helped a bit. My local fish store said he is fine and not to worry if he is eating and if I dont see white on the edges of the fins. They say betta’s fins can change and some of these could be snags. I have had him for 4 mos and his fins haven’t looked like this (he is a veil tail). Advice?

Mmm, it depends on your comfort level. Some people wait 1-2 weeks if they're using quarantine medications. I personally tend to wait 5-6 weeks.

Where in Colorado are you located (county or closest city for privacy). I live in Colorado Springs and was looking at the links and unless I missed it I didn’t see a city the Colorado one was located.

Can you put a sponge over a hob intake instead of a sponge filter. Which is better?

What local store were you looking at? I’m in Denver too and trying to find good options for a LFS

ah, on second thought, probably not the best venue for asking this question. Thanks for the great videos!

Does anyone know if pet supplies plus is a good place to buy bettas? They're like the only pet store in my area. I'm getting ready to purchase my first one in a few weeks and really want it to go well

Most of the time if you get a betta at a chain pet store it will not stay the same color. They are usually stressed af, in the tiny cups, and they lose color. Or they are still very young and haven't fully developed their final color yet. Color changes once they get to mature in a healthy environment are totally normal.

My beautiful dumbo from Switzerland died recently... He jumped out and was dried up completely by the time I found him... Now waiting for lockdown to be over and warmer weather so I can find a new one for the tank which I have kept in pristine condition

My beta recently died of what I believe was columnaris. no matter what I treated him with, sadly he just never got better. So I’m looking for another one, but I am wondering what do I need to do to his tank water besides water changes to make sure the new fish doesn’t get the same disease? And if I put him in a quarantine tank for a month first, do you put anything in there like aquarium salt to treat him before releasing him into the permanent tank? Or since he’s going to be alone in a 10 gallon tank, maybe I don’t need to put him in a quarantine tank at all?

My favorite Betta color, mainly because I've never had them go through any color change.

Yay! I love your choice for your new little guy - very beautiful :) Seeing the bettas at a LFS in those rack systems with more swimming space really allows me to see their health and personalities. (Shout out to About Fish/LFS - which I think is in the video - great store.) That being said, my current healthiest betta ever (Gilderoy Lockhart) came from my local PetCo - The aquatics management there is amazing and their betta stock in particular is always abundant, beautiful and healthy.

Yes, that totally was About Fish! I love the betta rack; normally they have more variety so I was planning to get my betta there originally.

Girl Talks Fish I had the same problem when I went to look for a betta for my son’s girlfriend in the spring. I think they were just having some supply issues. I always see some amazing fish I’ve never seen before in there. Still kicking myself for not picking up some unreal platinum red angels from them last year - never seen anything like them before or since.

Congrats on 50k. My betta fish just passed away and I really couldn't get another halfmoon it would just remind me too much of my old betta. So I ordered Betta Imbellis from Thailand through a trans shiper in Europe. It was costly but I know fish will arrive without delay and very fast.
