@WORLD OF FAMILY GUY , Go away troll.

Someone caring for someone.

Yes; it's so nice to see someone care for the littlest animals 😊

Lmao how was your fish fry you recently ate?

I had fishes growing up, they were really adorable and playful, the only downside is how short they live, they are also very delicate creatures especially the small ones, you need to take very good care of them

Such in some seachem prime, weekly water changes, and the fish will be living long

Does it come with chips though

@@trcs3079 nah, changing the water weekly, kills the good bacteria from the aquarium

@@solo_solo So when do you change the water? Idk i want a betta I think 2 weeks prob?

@@The_Angxlic_Michelle actually I do it somewhere all 3 months. Or even later. Probably not how many would tell u, but my fish r still all alive n fine, I also have a beta male :)

I won a goldfish at a carnival when I was about 11, I had him for 3 years. He was beautiful, and I loved him.

I'm so sorry for your loss

@@ashleyglaceon1150 Thank you.

I had a goldfish from a festival I got when I was a little kid & didn't know any better. He lived with me 10 years & got too big that I had to give him to a woman with a big spring fed indoor pond. He lived another 3 years with her. I loved him. I'm sorry for your loss.

@@jaimezimmerman1670 What a beautiful story. AND, thank you....

agreed

I agree. Generally though, it’s an issue of space for Bettas. Since they are required to be in seperate tanks it’s not feasible for a pet store to keep 20, 5-10 gal tanks for each Betta. So they remain in cups. I know most pet store employees try their hardest to care appropriately for their animals but it’s hard to maintain low enough ammonia levels in little cups which is generally what kills the betta. Also many places don’t know that Bettas require heated water and again heating those cups is nearly impossible. What really should happen is that pet stores should stop carrying Bettas and we should buy from reputable breeders but that would drive up cost significantly which most people don’t want for what they consider a throwaway pet.

​@@mostlyghosteyanother idea is that the betas could be kept in a large tank with each other, but there is a partition that water can pass through seperating them. This would make it easier to heat the water, would keep the bettas from fighting, and the larger tank would help the water quality.

There's only one place around here that sells bettas (as far as I'm aware), but they do pretty well at caring for them. Ofc it's a smaller building so they can't have huge enclosures for all the bettas but they counter this by regular cleaning and cycling. You'll almost never see a sick betta there and when you do it's usually because an employee hasn't gone through there yet to check on em.

they could just put the cups on a consistent heating element. Other than that though I got no solutions for the rest other than just not having to have as many bettas on hand at one time.

Its also sorta funny.

Cringe af.

I know Right he is so cute 😍😍

He is smiling!!!❤️

U are a good Mama ❤️

wow 6 years is a good long life for a betta!

What do you mean she could tell the time?!

@@hairjordan2620 Raindrop would be waiting at the exact same spot in her tank at the exact same time every day for my daughter to give her a treat. It was one of their rituals. She would wait at the surface before bed for her goodnight song and pet. She would also swim through a little hoop that my daughter made her. It was so cute. She laid eggs one day, which was amazing to see, even though she was alone in the tank, and then a year later she made herself a nice bubble nest (which is a male beta mating behavior). She was a very interesting little lady!

You and your daughter are the BEST of humanity.

@@rdred8693 What a kind thing to say! Thank you! 😊

anyone know what meds she used to treat him

@@JustaKarenDiscoveredTheIntrnet that blue stuff is Ich X.

Same thing happened with me!! I bought a small sad pink fish and now have this majestic red thing that thinks he’s a member of royalty.

I bought one feeling bad it was in a tiny cup. It was so full of life it always followed my finger around the fishtank. Sadly, it got depressed once I started working and going to school full time and stopped wasting to eat. I decided not to buy anymore fish since I wouldn't be able to give it proper time like I used to.

@@yuria2175I’m glad you decided to stop owning fish because one became sad when you couldn’t pay attention. Fish are like any other animals and can enjoy spending time with their owner

Having learnt about animal care, its so disappointing to see how badly animals are treated in petstores, it always best to not support them but sadly people still do unknowingly. I am glad this person saved that fish and Im glad it was given to them for free because I wouldve been outraged otherwise, that store should be ashamed Thank you for taking care of a fish yourself too, Bishop sounds like an adorable name! Thanks to people like you, they get a second chance

@@meh8396 Not all pet stores are the same, not all of each store's employees are the same, just as not all humans are the same. Way to throw the whole lot into one pot just because of your personal experience.

@@DawnMK2023 Excuse me mate, did I say ALL petstores somewhere in my comment? No, I just said petstores in general which, open your eyes sunshine, its true. I didnt have a “bad experience” as you liked to assume, Ive been to many petstores in my country and all have been inadequate. Im not blaming the employees as you also seemed to assume for some reason, Im speaking about the PETSTORE, oh right, thats a huge mega company franchise, not individual employees When I say the petstore shouldve been ashamed, yes, they shouldve, that petstore should have better standards which isnt the employees fault, not like some market people will listen to some petstore employee A small company pet store I feel is more likely to take care of their animals since theyd have know-how. Another thing is, a lot of people who work in petstores dont even know how to take care of the animals they are selling If a pet store sells proper sized fish tanks and only proper size mate then id believe you all petstores are saints. A thing I was taught was buy animals from people who have a know-how and buy from petstores that show decency and respect towards their animals Dont assume things people say for the worse then comment on it just to sour someones day

Question? What body of water did you find him in?

@@MorganAdzei It was a pet store not a body of water 🤣

exactly right!! you nailed it perfectly

Does doing the same for a plant counts? 😂

@@MinutePlant yeah

@@MinutePlant Yes

i always buy the weakest looking plants, because i know that they will get thrown away if i dont buy them

They deserve freedom

@@dukhi_aatma372 sure, most animals deserve it, but they have a really good life and a much longer lifespan in this aqarium. They won't breed if their habitat is not well suited!

@@valt1337 Yes thanks cause Google doesn't exist right, bruh just search scientists never said that.

Agreed

What variety is he? He looks like a marble glow to me, but I'm not entirely sure.

That's because God (in this age now very necessary to add, The God of the Bible) made everything in love and with love and by love because He IS Love!

@@chefjimmie1 Someone should explain that to literally everyone I know right now.

@@gypsyjengypsydogs9320 That's a good idea. If you start right now, you may be able to finish before He comes back. Be prepared to be scorned, ridiculed and hated publicly. I've been doing that exact thing for many years and I'm not done yet. And it's all down to LOVE. The love of God's Creation which includes every man woman and child AND all His innocent animals like this poor fish.

@@chefjimmie1 I'm scorned and hated on a daily basis. Hurt people hurt people. I try really hard to be ethical and logical and I treat people the way I want to be treated. Apparently that makes me a doormat.

Darn right.

IMO the worst is the conditions in which they're bred, there's extensive spread of illness

I wish the stores that sell them would be honest about their housing requirements, that they need ideally 10 gallons and up, a heater and filter. They sell them off as these "convenient desk decoration" pets that can live in a cup and require very little care, when that's just not true. They're not ornaments, they're quite intelligent little creatures with personality and deserve to be treated humanely.

@@EmEm78 I say 5 gallon minimum with heat and filter. If I get a hint that they're going to be using something less than 2.5 I usually refuse the sale

@@EmEm78 not true chain pet stores will not advertise that they can live in a cup. Where I work we recommend no smaller than 5 gal. We tell customers one thing and are forced to sell those cheap fish bowls. Very frustrating.

Hi. How did you manage to save them? I put fish antibiotics in my dying bettas little bowl but no signs of him coming back

​@@victoriaserna1495 clean water, the correct temperature, and a cycled filter usually do the trick. They're usually suffering from ammonia poisoning in the store.

​@victoriaserna1495 'little bowl'? That could be the problem right there. A single betta needs at least a 5 gallon tank (ideally 10 gallons or larger) with heater, filtration, and a stable nitrogen cycle.

@WORLD OF FAMILY GUY One word: No.

Link ?

I agree ❤

Read the newest scientific studies on the subject. Turns out there's more to them than just swimming around aimlessly

I'm beginning to think that all pet shops that actually sell animals need to be abolished. The amount of abuse and neglect that happens in them...

@@audreydimmel6674 PetSmart is the biggest offender. In my experience, small business pet shops tend to be much better, with healthier animals and people who know how to properly maintain them.

@@audreydimmel6674 well how will you get a animal

@@ericweiss6258 indeed, small shops are better. In big shops the water mostly circulates trough many more tanks and that's the reason why diseases can spread more easily. They (mostly) also don't care about single animals, it depends on their value. Their only thoughts: money, money, money...

@@madmonty4761 from a rescue ffs !

I don't know if it's available in your area, but adding a bit of methylene blue to the water can help his fins heal. We can get it in little bottles of liquid at the pharmacies where I live. If you can't find it there, you might try looking for it online in a preparation for aquarium use.

I like your profile picture

So...most of her bettas died from some disease that spread like wildfire among her tanks a couple weeks ago, and this little guy and another Petsmart rescue were 2 of the victims. Very sad, but their lives were so much better in her hands than they'd probably ever dreamed of in their little urine sample cups.

anyone know what meds she used to treat him

late reply but@@JustaKarenDiscoveredTheIntrnet considering it was a water-dyed product I have my bets it may be a Methylene Blue. Good to treat fungus, parasites and also to clear nitrite/ammonia levels.

Facts

Here, here

I'd wear that shirt!! ALL CREATURES MATTER

Wow, I had no idea that was a thing. Selective breeding, I assume. Thanks for the info!

Yeah, I prefer "plakat" Bettas, they have shorter fins and look closer to the wild fish domestic Bettas came from. They've always been more healthy and active in my opinion, probably cause they don't have to drag around half their body weight in fins. I hope the glofish modifications they did to the Betta (this fish is genetically modified to be 'pretty' :/ ) doesn't affect their health in the long term.

Out of curiosity, could you in theory trim the tips of long fins to give the fish some relief? Or is the fin too vascular to safely trim without risking pain or infection?

Their fins contain nerves and blood vessels, so you definitely do NOT want to trim their fins.

@@miradschatten thx for this info I was just about to ask this question

it's a male, female bettas have short fins

And a tank with quality water, and antibiotics, and food...

@@anna1417 absolutely..but love came first. 😀

@@Ass_of_Amalek oh ok, "little guy"

Exactly! We need to spread and help educate people! The more people realize the utterly disgusting misinformation that bettas or goldfish can be in a tank 5 gallons or less, or sell those horrible bowls the sooner people can put a stop to the abuse. The fact it's common for fish owners not to have filters, heaters, or think goldfish or betta only live a few years is just so sad. With proper housing, care- it's shocking how many people don't realize a goldfish can live 20+ years.

That is absolutely shocking as most of the rescue groups I've been in basically say if a cat got it, it's more humane to put the rabbit, bird, etc. down because of the bacteria in a cat's claws & mouth.

You gave a fish whisky to heal it? Like an old cartoon character? Not throwing shade because it clearly worked, but how'd you even think of that?

Great story! Proud of you're wonderful family:) by the way does the whiskey work as a painkiller for them?

@@ApexOceanPredator My thought was that it was probably the only thing on hand that resembled either a disinfectant or a painkiller. Probably shouldn't have worked, but I'm glad it did

Oh my gosh that was INSPIRED! My great aunt used to give whiskey to her fish too when it got upset. He’d literally throw himself out of the tank (in front of her) to get him some whiskey. 😂 My great aunt was a very tuned in lady. She’s not sure why it worked, just that it did.

I ❤ the phrase "love deed".

❤️

@@minuishaq631 This is a betta fish, in their natural habitat they lived in puddles. They do not like company (except for breeding) and tend to fight other fish.

@@patbowman6723 I thought it was a beta too but not a fish person.

@@minuishaq631 ❤️

@@patbowman6723 ahhh thanks, yeah for sure they all don't need huge huge tanks especially little cuties like this but his medium bowl and that big tank must be heaven

God bless you! This video inspired me! I hope it will inspire others

Same! I currently have 8 of them myself. 3 males & 5 females. Each one has their own personality & I love them all! 🐠

I have a question, I’m currently doing the same. I have a little male crown tail betta who has an issue with his swim bladder. He swims almost vertical. He’s doing a lot better compared to before but I’m not sure what the cause of his bad swimming is. He isn’t as lethargic as he was 3 days ago when we got him, but he is quite hunched. I don’t know what the cause is, any ideas for how to treat it?

I am so glad this lady rescued this betta. I just rescued a sick betta from Petco just a month or so ago, every once a week, I change his water, and now he is getting better. I named mine Denzel 💙

Your dad was a beautiful soul like mine!💖

@Officer Dibble thank you for letting me know!

Thank you for the 👍s on my comment.

oaww wee Lil fish is such a cute thing to say

They are viewed as nothing but products to big corporate pet stores and often to the managers as well. And employees can't even refuse to sell them to customers who admit they will neglect them or not provide the right set up. I have to live with knowing i sent a few fish to their deaths during the 8 months I worked there, but I hope I redeemed myself by rescuing one Betta and two hamsters who were in the sick room with no hope of ever getting better because the environment was detrimental to their health.
