Your videos are honestly so helpful. From your updates, tips on how to care for fish and such, to getting more pets they help the viewers with how to care more with theirs.
You can also train them to follow your finger/ gentle taps on the glass. My betta is terrible at finding the food before it falls, so I always do this to help him.
Great rescue, the fact that #cherrythebetta now has more water volume allows him to stretch his legs and will be a thriving environment for him. Good work! #operationbettarescue
I have a Sorority tank, and I love it! one tip, dont get bettas that are similar or the same in coloration that might cause them to fight. I have 5 bettas in my 10 gallon, 3 adults and 2 babys that are only now developing their color. Its really cute to watch them grow up and change color! I love it!
i actually have that same filter! i don't use it anymore since it was for a 1 gallon and the flow was so little that i found it useless, but i still use the air pump. mine is also super loud, and i only use it for a bubble bar at the back of my community tank far away from my room so i can sleep at night. also, that light looks sufficient for the betta at least! they prefer not to have super bright lights, but i don't know what the lighting requirements for those plants are :o! super cute new betta though! pellets should be fine- as far as i know, they feed all the bettas in stores like petco with standard pellets.
Challenge the Wild i have 20 red n 20 blue sapire n 8 cambodian n 2 giant all is female when i put all in 1 pond attack on betta 1 begin, until they have the primary queen they will stop fight n btw giant become the dominan queen in my pond after 2 week no one fight n all become 1 nation
I suggest you put a black background, a cheap method is taping black construction paper. The black background will bring the color of the plants and fish more out. The bettas itself will get try to get "darker" so it can "blend".
Get a pre filter sponge for your filter. I bought a pack of 3 off of Amazon. Hikari micro pellets are good. I do a mixture of flakes & pellets for our baby betta.
You might want to put a sponge over the intake of the filter. I've had some issues with betta fins getting ripped from these filters but it's just a suggestion. Btw beautiful baby betta 😊
I bought a baby betta a few years ago that looked exactly like yours and his name was Sir Swimy II. I bought pellets that were meant for babies so they were really small. You could probably buy some at a pet store or you could just buy normal flakes and crumble them up.
If he continues to have trouble eating the pellets u can crush them between your nails before feeding. I did that for my oldest betta when I first got her 3 years ago.
Can't wait to see the growth and how nice it will look growing up in the proper tank size and with all of the nice plants he will be awesome. #Challenger
tip: rule of thumb for how much to feed a betta is the size of their eye (which is roughly the size of their stomach) they also offer baby betta pellets in hikari brand, which is my personal favorite brand of food for bettas
I suggest using flake food for babies and slowly transition to pellets. cause the pellets can sometimes be to big for babies. if you are going to train him I suggest starting it within a week of you getting him.
i need advice i added my betta in a 20 gallon with a swordtail, 3 mollys, 6 neon tetras and 2 Chinese algae eaters he has been in the 20 gallon for about a week. i have betta flakes and normal fish flakes how should i feed the betta(i have feed him with a food divider put the other fish like his food also)
Hey James, i'm from Germany and i watch your Videos for a couple weeks now :) i realy like your tanks and i also have 6 fish tanks at the moment :) i'm in the hobby since i was 4-5 years old and i want to give you some tips.. when you add new fish in your tank and you put them in, do also 2-3 times a little bit of tank water in the cup/bag because the fish in the shops have different water parameters and it helps your fish to aclimate better also you can turn off the lights when the fish are aclimating because they are very close to the lights and have no place to hide (very stressful) i like your big betta he looks very healthy but he is acting weierd because he don't do well with other fish (i know he left them alone and live and eat together) but bettas get stressed by the other fish, they live alone in tons of plants in rice fields and don't habe this much contact to other fish..he will just live fine in community tank but will die alot earlyer the food for bettas is very important.. i highly recommend live food or frozen food or same food like bloodworms or atemia dry (not live and not frozen) sry don't know how to explain in english when you look on the back of your pellet and flake food for bettas take a look at the things that are in the food, when they are plants or grain etc. in the betta food it's not healthy at all for them.. i hope you read the comment and like the tips you can ask me if you want to know something about fish care :)
Great videos, as always! I have that same 3.5 gallon tank. Put a little towel or something under that air pump, it will definitely help with the noise!
I would definitely make sure that you have plenty of backup tanks. About half, maybe more of sororities I've known of have crashed. It's a tricky thing ://
You can put a bit of nylon stocking over the filter intake if you don't want to buy a sponge cover. I get my stockings for free when I try shoes at Payless ;)
I agree. I got a Fluval 306 external filter. It does a fine job, but the gaps in the intake are too wide. One of my pandas perished in it, and two galaxy rasboras (very tiny fishes) were sucked right into the filter, poor things. I rescued them and they are doing fine. I put a porous mesh cloth over the intake. A bit of nylon stocking would do fine.
I know you most likely know this already, and I’m watching this so late, but I would suggest to soak the pellets in water for 2-3 minutes to soften them up so it isn’t so hard on their digestive system, and so that they don’t get indigestion / or constipation from too much dry foods. :)
Love your video👌🏻 Just a little tip - when you do the betta sourory it have to be heavy with plants and also it have to be with other fish -get a better light the light that you have are ok but the plants that you have will do much better with other light
Almost to ten k! So proud of you :) #Cherrythebetta :D Finally getting a lot better at keeping all the animal habitats clean... if you ever get pet rats, I suggest wiping down the shelves daily.. helps a ton!
James!! The blue shrimp would look insanely cool in you're new tank, BUT that's a 1.5 gallon (from what I can tell, I didn't get to watch the whole video haha), not even the technical minimum for 1 betta. I would leave the betta alone, aside from maybe a snail. Just be careful to not overstock it !!!
when i got a baby betta, i had to crush her pellets for a LONG while. if you don't wanna hafta crush up food, i had a tiny betta that could only eat New Life Spectrum's Grow pellets(and they helped her get bigger, too!)
Wow you're channel grew so fast. I would always see your videos recommended to me but idk why i never clicked and i finally did and i just watched all your vids. Keep up the good work.#FISHFAM
Curious as to what you feed your betta. I've got mine the pellets which is its favorite, the flakes & the bloodworm. Doesn't care for the flakes & ive noticed the bloodworms cause slimy affects on the top of the water needing to change it more often.
You should get a nerite snail! IMO they are much prettier than mystery snails and don't get quite as large :) they usually come in the zebra or tiger shell variations!
Great setup!the one problem is ur betta food! The tetra food for bettas is not the best cuz there is "meal" witch is not good! The best food for bettas is the omega 1 betta pellets or flakes.hope I helped
Aaaw he's so cute! I have a baby too, her name is Azura. :) You should feed him three times a day, but small portions. (Well that's what I feed her at least.) Can't wait to see how beautiful he'll be when he grows up ^^
Cherry is a cute name for your beautiful red betta! Maybe put ghost shrimp in there so he won't be as aggressive since they don't have color. Maybe a mystery snail would be cool for the tank also. Keep up with the awesome fish videos! #JFAM #CHALLENGER #CHERRYTHEBETTA
So I'm going to put a betta in a 5 gallon. Is there any tank mates. He is pretty peaceful. I'm asking cause it looks like you have maybe platies with them? Or are those mollies?
Have you looked in to getting a python water change set up? Might be handy if you continue to add tanks or move up to something like the 55 you mentioned on the Steenfott stream.
You need to feed the frozen food if you want him to grow fast since it doesn't have a lot of fillers and it has all of the protein and nutrients that he needs
The food might be a little bit too big for him. Try crushing it or finding smaller pebbles for him. He is so cute! I can't wait to see him when he's older! 😁
hi j, the new betta looks like a young veil tail. as for how much to feed....his stomach and eyeball are the same size, so take care not to overfeed :)
How did you decide to make your RUclips channel? The reason I'm asking is because I just got a 10 gallon tank and I have been watching your videos and you are inspiring me to create a RUclips channel.
My Betta fish did the same thing with her food. Don't worry, there's nothing wrong. I think before they eat the food, they have to get used to the new tank. She could even be scared. My Betta did the same thing and within a day or two, she started eating the food.
Random question, I want to make a 10 gallon community tank with a half moon male beta fish. What fish mates would you recommend I should use? Normally I only use bottom feeders but I was hoping I could use different breeds this time!! I was just very unsure of what ones I should use that won't be nibblers. He isn't very agressive, so far he has had his own 10 gallon tank and I wanted to give him buddies :). My other 10 gallon tank I have is a community tank with my rose finned betta (His name is Koshi) and he does alright with neon tetras from time to time not very often they nibble. Most likely will never see this comment OH WELL.
I don't know why but every time I kept bettas and shrimp together, they never fought. The first time I put both the Betta and shrimp in a tank, they just stared at each other, and the Betta flared for a few seconds, but after that they got used to each other.
wow cherry so cute,when are you gonna put blue shrimps in it?yes,a video about curing,I'd love that,can't wait to watch it.perhaps a video about how you clean your 20 gallon tank?and also is the space of the tank very important for bettas?keep up the good work Patrick :)
They can survive in a 2.5 gallon tank but the bigger the better :) The larger the more chance he will live longer haha have you tried brine shrimp? Bloodworm? I recommend! OMG almost 10K
I'm so happy you will be doing videos on bettas because I have 3 lol && just yesterday I went to petco to look at some because I think I want a 4th one lol

Awe tanks so much :)
When James use to respond to everyone's comment :[ growing up so fast
Max W true 😑
Max W yup
Max W I try 😭😭😭
yeah, kinda sad :(
He heart my comment :)
You can also train them to follow your finger/ gentle taps on the glass. My betta is terrible at finding the food before it falls, so I always do this to help him.
Congrats on the new betta, always fun to raise a fish from a baby to an adult. Curious to see if his color changes dramatically over time.
Great rescue, the fact that #cherrythebetta now has more water volume allows him to stretch his legs and will be a thriving environment for him. Good work! #operationbettarescue
awesome tank and awesome betta!! we are so close to 10k!! hope my comments never get old xD anyways thanks so much for this video!

Its okay tanks so much :)
Yo guys im going live check out the link right here ruclips.net/video/Ml-Vik2WBqI/видео.html
Challenge the Wild u should get 2 female betta
Challenge the Wild Your new betta is so beautiful 😍💞
female betta need to live in sororities (5+) because they need to figure out the pecking order (two will just fight)
Challenge the Wild i have 20 red n 20 blue sapire n 8 cambodian n 2 giant all is female when i put all in 1 pond attack on betta 1 begin, until they have the primary queen they will stop fight n btw giant become the dominan queen in my pond after 2 week no one fight n all become 1 nation
I love your Fish/Pet vlogs😍❤️Your Betta is so beautiful! I just got a new Betta after watching so many tank setups!
that set up for your new betta is amazing! i love the details. very natural looking.. just like in the wild! great aquascape! great job man!
I suggest you put a black background, a cheap method is taping black construction paper. The black background will bring the color of the plants and fish more out. The bettas itself will get try to get "darker" so it can "blend".
Get a pre filter sponge for your filter. I bought a pack of 3 off of Amazon. Hikari micro pellets are good. I do a mixture of flakes & pellets for our baby betta.
You might want to put a sponge over the intake of the filter. I've had some issues with betta fins getting ripped from these filters but it's just a suggestion. Btw beautiful baby betta 😊

Someone's been collecting bettas! Love it James!

Usually you should feed baby betas frozen or live food. And also, it looks like it is a veil tail. Great video! :)
You should get a rainbow shark in your 20 gallon 🙏
ELVGoesLive yessss
ELVGoesLive omg yes I hope James sees this 🙏🙏🙏
ELVGoesLive yes he should get 1 or two more hiding spots then he should definitely get one!!!
ELVGoesLive that'd be so cool
iridescents are territorial so he might need to use caution on tank mates
You have come so far with the hobby in such a short space of time. Go you 😊
Oh you can always cut the pellets in half if they are too big.
i need advice i added my betta in a 20 gallon with a swordtail, 3 mollys, 6 neon tetras and 2 Chinese algae eaters he has been in the 20 gallon for about a week. i have betta flakes and normal fish flakes how should i feed the betta(i have feed him with a food divider put the other fish like his food also)
Hey James, i'm from Germany and i watch your Videos for a couple weeks now :) i realy like your tanks and i also have 6 fish tanks at the moment :) i'm in the hobby since i was 4-5 years old and i want to give you some tips..
when you add new fish in your tank and you put them in, do also 2-3 times a little bit of tank water in the cup/bag because the fish in the shops have different water parameters and it helps your fish to aclimate better
also you can turn off the lights when the fish are aclimating because they are very close to the lights and have no place to hide (very stressful)
i like your big betta he looks very healthy but he is acting weierd because he don't do well with other fish (i know he left them alone and live and eat together) but bettas get stressed by the other fish, they live alone in tons of plants in rice fields and don't habe this much contact to other fish..he will just live fine in community tank but will die alot earlyer
the food for bettas is very important.. i highly recommend live food or frozen food or same food like bloodworms or atemia dry (not live and not frozen) sry don't know how to explain in english
when you look on the back of your pellet and flake food for bettas take a look at the things that are in the food, when they are plants or grain etc. in the betta food it's not healthy at all for them..
i hope you read the comment and like the tips you can ask me if you want to know something about fish care :)

Glad to here you're getting advice from lifewithpets. They're one of my favorite channels.
"Alright I'm probably going to get a betta in a couple of weeks, (next day) hey what's crack-a-lackin I got a new BETTA FISH OMG!"
I've always had good luck keeping bettas and ghost shrimp together.
James!! The blue shrimp would look insanely cool in you're new tank, BUT that's a 1.5 gallon (from what I can tell, I didn't get to watch the whole video haha), not even the technical minimum for 1 betta. I would leave the betta alone, aside from maybe a snail. Just be careful to not overstock it !!!
its 3 gallons .... bettas need 2.5 gal plus he is a baby
when i got a baby betta, i had to crush her pellets for a LONG while. if you don't wanna hafta crush up food, i had a tiny betta that could only eat New Life Spectrum's Grow pellets(and they helped her get bigger, too!)

It's recommend to feed young betta fish frozen brine shrimp or you can hatch your own.
Dude I got a baby Betta and it's so awesome getting to see him grow up hope you enjoy yours

Hmm, my money is on a spade tail or veil tail! SOOO CUTE! Awesome aquascape too.
You should get a nerite snail! IMO they are much prettier than mystery snails and don't get quite as large :) they usually come in the zebra or tiger shell variations!
Hey, where did you buy those lights above your tanks?
Can you do a video on your other betta doing tricks ?? Or teaching your betta to do tricks ?? So cute
Great setup!the one problem is ur betta food! The tetra food for bettas is not the best cuz there is "meal" witch is not good! The best food for bettas is the omega 1 betta pellets or flakes.hope I helped
He looks like a "Veal" betta fish. Super cute 👍
I feed my females and baby Bettas micro pellets, they can eat it better, it's sold right next to the regular Betta pellets normally at Petco.
awesome tanks
Aaaw he's so cute! I have a baby too, her name is Azura. :) You should feed him three times a day, but small portions. (Well that's what I feed her at least.) Can't wait to see how beautiful he'll be when he grows up ^^
Tanks so much :) wll do
Aww he's so cute!
Awesome tanks!!
awh! your baby betta is so cute.
He is so cute!! I am planning on getting another 3 gal and getting another male betta. They are by far my favorite fish
Cherry is a cute name for your beautiful red betta! Maybe put ghost shrimp in there so he won't be as aggressive since they don't have color. Maybe a mystery snail would be cool for the tank also. Keep up with the awesome fish videos!
#JFAM #CHALLENGER #CHERRYTHEBETTA
Awe tanks so much i think ill keep a crab in there with him
A micro crab?
What tank is that cube one ?
omfg 5:10 to 5:14 ... cutest thing in the enitre video. so nice when guys are gushing over their fish.. (same as me lol) :)
Cory catfish care videos will be awesome for me! I was considering to buying some Cory catfish.
Will do :) maybe on the weekend or friday
So I'm going to put a betta in a 5 gallon. Is there any tank mates. He is pretty peaceful. I'm asking cause it looks like you have maybe platies with them? Or are those mollies?
Hey I have a question. Can you put 1 betta, and 3 mollies in a 10 gallon?
Have you looked in to getting a python water change set up? Might be handy if you continue to add tanks or move up to something like the 55 you mentioned on the Steenfott stream.
Where do u get your tank lights that clip on? Love them
You need to feed the frozen food if you want him to grow fast since it doesn't have a lot of fillers and it has all of the protein and nutrients that he needs
The food might be a little bit too big for him. Try crushing it or finding smaller pebbles for him. He is so cute! I can't wait to see him when he's older! 😁
How much was the new tank plz let me know. :0!???
B. bunny .D he got it for free from someone who sent it to him.
B. bunny .D I ordered the same one on Amazon for about $30
u should feed him fish flakes like crush it and sprinkle some they will eat it very easily and when he grows then u can feed him the palette
hurray cherry the new fish!!!! welcome to the fam haha. love you james!! #Challenger
What are you using for that tank setup?
I don't know I was checking out your channel and I was looking through your playlists and clicked on a playlist and saw this video(:
Awesome
So cute!!! What brand tank is the 3 gallon?
hi j, the new betta looks like a young veil tail. as for how much to feed....his stomach and eyeball are the same size, so take care not to overfeed :)
i was waiting for this video since i saw your snapchat of getting the betta! 😍
betta's are good jumper.. Covering your tank is my advice.. Nice Video james.
Love all your tanks dude 👌where do you get those lights that clip on the top of the tank?
How did you decide to make your RUclips channel? The reason I'm asking is because I just got a 10 gallon tank and I have been watching your videos and you are inspiring me to create a RUclips channel.
+Beckett Jarnagin I wantes to learn and to teach wait his did u get this video lol
Beckett Jarnagin sounds just like me!
Beckett Jarnagin SAME!!!😂
You might want to get a heater if your room is cold betas like higher temps
By the way your channel is almost at 10k 😀
Hey bud I'm ordering discus today also I see u use tetra fin I recommend getting omega one flakes there the best fish food I ever tried
My Betta fish did the same thing with her food. Don't worry, there's nothing wrong. I think before they eat the food, they have to get used to the new tank. She could even be scared. My Betta did the same thing and within a day or two, she started eating the food.

Wow awesome I might just try micro spider crabs
James isn't adorable just such an adorable word ? Lol he spat that food out haha
wow cherry so cute,when are you gonna put blue shrimps in it?yes,a video about curing,I'd love that,can't wait to watch it.perhaps a video about how you clean your 20 gallon tank?and also is the space of the tank very important for bettas?keep up the good work Patrick :)
were did u get this fish tank and I mean the smallest one
Is there any betta were you can keep more than one male?
Big City Bettas thanks
Nice looking Betta Man!
you might rethink the shrimp thing with a betta. you could get a scarlet badis or nerites
What place did you get that 3 gallon tank
They can survive in a 2.5 gallon tank but the bigger the better :) The larger the more chance he will live longer haha have you tried brine shrimp? Bloodworm? I recommend! OMG almost 10K
sweet boy,sweet betta ...nice!
Tanks
Is a 0.9 gallon tank ok for a betta? I'm getting one soon but all the other tanks in the petstore near my house are smaller than that
I'm so happy you will be doing videos on bettas because I have 3 lol && just yesterday I went to petco to look at some because I think I want a 4th one lol
U should look up male betta fish living together with females love the vid it shows how the males and females can live altogether
Yea but then you could sell them
I see that betta bed😂👍 Hopefully he will use it! (Btw be careful with such a small tank. The betta might not be okay with the shrimp!)
hey how do i stop my big goast shrimp from eating my small goast shrimp?????
Maybe seperate them
He's so cute
He's soooooooo cute !!! He looks just like you !!! 😘
I love bettas!🐟🐠🐡🐬
Hey love your vids bro keep it up almost at 10k ;)
I can't resist buying bettas...So Cool!!✨😍😍😍✨💛❤ #CHERRYTHEBETTA
He is so awesome!
I have a 10 gallon with perfect heat and filtariation do you know what could cause this
