      Yup, pretty much. The sad thing is that he thinks it's fine because a pet store probably said it's fine. "Starter pets" are aften neglected because pet stores sell them as an easy pet so they can make money. It makes me want to open a pet store of my own and sell animals with proper setups and care sheets.

      Do not put two bettas in the same tank without a divider. They will fight each other. I would say get silk realistic plants with non neon gravel. I would also recommend at least a 3.5 gallon tank with a filter 😁

      @@evanescent.6156 don’t put to bettas in the same tank they are Siamese fighting fish and will kill eachother. I suggest at least 5 gallons for each fish. The can live in harsh conditions but I highly do not suggest it because it will make your bettas depressed and can cause many diseases. You should get a heater and a filtration system. A bubbler is not headed and could stress your bettas out. Give them some great hiding spaces but also leave space for them to swim. That’s pretty much it hope these tips help.

      Look for second-hand used tanks.
      People sell those all the time that include the filter, heater, hood at most and if you're lucky they'll have some other stuff lessening the price for whatever else you need.
      I got a 10 gallon with 2 heaters, 2 filters, 2 air pumps, and a lot of other stuff just need better substrate (mines wayy too colorful for my liking).
      Also helps if you get a tank that doesn't need PLANTED plants (Hornwort, Floater plants, Java, Anubis are great plants for DECOR that doesn't need to be planted with certain substrate), or look for some cheap silk plants (Petsmart has cheap but great products to look at and a rewards program).
      Amazon (if its less expensive than Petsmart) and Aliexpress (only for hammocks, nets, thermometers) are good as well.
      Just keep looking around but I recommend getting second-hand used tank first.

    The clip with the egg in a bag is from Barb's Buzzin. They have a RUclips channel, actually 2 channels, and they are very conscious and responsible aquarists. They do drip acclimation for new fish, and built a large above ground pond/pool size "aquarium" in the back yard for their larger fish. They are based out of Florida. One of the things they do is buy live bait from a vending machine outside of a local Bass Pro shops which has gotten them some average fish, a tarantula (dead serious, saw the video, they kept it as a pet), and some more expensive fish as well.

    • @shelbyjohnson7208
      @shelbyjohnson7208 2 года назад

      @@evanescent.6156 hello, it is adviced that bettas are kept in separate tanks as they can be fairly aggressive to one another. If you want to get a betta and have another fish live with it you can get a couple neons or danios perhaps even a snail but even then you can run the risk of the betta showing agression to the other fish so alone is adviced. For just one betta it is recommended you have at least a 3 gallon tank but I'd recommend 5 as it's easier. Betta should have heated and filtered water and water changes should be done often. If you want further advice RUclips is a great option for research, I believe Chris has also done a couple of videos on bettas that you can check out as well. If you have any further questions though I am happy to help! :)

    I bought what was supposed to be 2 baby female bettas for my son's tank several months ago (a few weeks apart) & after a little while we realized one was labeled incorrectly & it was a male. I didn't want to put one in a regular fish bowl, I always feel bad, so I kept an eye on them together for maybe 2 months until I got my own tank.. The male wasn't ever mean to her, he just flirted way too much.
    Now that she's in my tank (w/ an African Dwarf Frog, another female betta, guppies & cory & panda catfish) she's blossomed into this sweet, confident fish; she's even seemingly loving towards the younger betta & oddly enough, the frog. Both bettas love the frog actually, they all hang out together. It's really funny sometimes, Kiwi, the frog, has accidentally landed on the older betta's back as if she was a horse. I expected her to panic & swim off but nope, she acted more like a parent giving a child a piggyback ride. I really need to get it on camera if it happens again. 🤣

    Outside of the solo cardinal tetra I feel like the stocking in the tank wasn’t very bad plenty of planting for fish to hide if any mild aggression and those are some of the most friendly Gourami and a solo angel are a lot more friendly then groups especially a pair. But that’s just me tho. Great vid as always tho!

    I think what OP was saying was that they already had an empty 20 gallon tall and was hoping the owners of the other 20 gallons would separate their fish but instead they just got a ton more fish. OP didn’t give them fish, I think OP gave them a new tank for the fish even if it wasn’t ideal.

    I have 4 "harlequin Rasboras" in my 20-gallon tank, but "Neon Tetras" are so pretty!

    My Nana (grandma) recently went out with me to buy a fish. She had this weird bowl thingy, about five gallons, that's hexagon shaped and has a thin neck at the top. I picked out a Betta for her (she thought they were pretty), and we got the decor and stuff. She is in love with the stupid fish, so as I was giving her instructions, she was writing them down on a piece of paper. I'm tempted to get a 10 gallon tank off of Kijiji for her fish, so that she could have plants, enough room for a filter, heater, etc... and maybe some tank mates like cherry shrimp or neon tetras.
