Can I add other fish with my Betta as tank mates? I know their territorial but if you know some I will gladly know! Thanks!
@@jeoned.santos967 it’s depends on your tank size and fish you gonna add. This video helps! Good luck. Best Betta Fish Tank Mates For Community Aquarium ruclips.net/video/b1g-elh3zSY/видео.html
Thanks for these tips!! I love my three Bettas!!
You are so welcome! ❤️❤️
My oldest Betta suffered a very aggressive fungus that was very difficult for me to eradicate. She got dropsy as a result, but I actually was able to help reverse it. It's taking a long time for her fins to heal because fins have very little blood flow. I'm just glad I didn't put her down, otherwise I never would have known that she could recover. Betta fish are tough little creatures!
❤️❤️❤️👏👍
Inspiring !!!!
may i know more about the treatment of dropsy or whatever u did?
i happen have lost 3 bettas this far and sadly all ended up having dropsy , no matter whatever i do dropsy always seems to catch up to my bettas
i dont want my present betta to end up having the same
@@sandidsaman7723 epsom salt was the trick. Unscented, of course. If you look up epsom salt for dropsy treatment here on RUclips, you will find more information.
That is Awesome!

Glad you like them. 🙏
Rocky is moving to his 9.2 gallon BiOrb Tube tank today from his 4 gallon BiOrb (I didn’t know it was too small - will keep it on hand as an infirmary). I know many seem to hate BiOtbs but I feel safer with acrylic and I adapted the filter so I can use gravel. Really works well.
Anyway, he won’t eat frozen bloodworms or the special brine shrimp I got for him. I’m growing brine shrimp to see if he’ll eat them. He LOVES egg yolk - drying some for him now. These fish are so intelligent and responsive - the way many keep them is really unconscionable.
He produces so little waste, I do a 25% water change about every 2 weeks. I test his water frequently and ph and ammonia are spot on. Actually, if ammonia levels are non existent, do I need to test Nitrites and Nitrates?
Thanks for your great channel!
Thanks for your wonderful comment. Happy for Rocky. ❤️
Its possible bacteria in your tank quickly control ammonia level but nitrite gets higher. I suggest to check both. Happy betta keeping!
@aquadiaryofficial I have my bettas in a 5.5 gallon..both of them have their own 5.5 gallon tanks and they love their tanks
I had two bettas out of the rest that lived at least two good years. I took good care of them by putting them in five or ten gallon tanks with good filtration, feeding them different food with protein, fiber, and spiruluna with some vitamins added to their food and water. I made sure they had their leaf pads, hammocks, silk plants, and some decor to rest, lay on, and enjoy adventuring in their tanks. I noticed that a few of my bettas would get fin rot. I make sure the water is clean and gravel cleaned about four or five weeks in their ten gallon tanks. I always use Betta Tap conditioner when putting in fresh water. I use Seacham Stress Coat and StressZyme when adding water in their tanks. I am trying to figure out what make them get the fin rot? The water is not cold or too warm. I told myself I should put heaters in each of their tanks.
You are awesome betta keeper knows what to do. Don’t see any flaws. Usually fungal or bacterial infections cause finrot, primarily due to water quality. Have you tried water test kit during this process, Any observations on water quality? Low temperature cause stress that results finrot as well.
Thank you for getting back to me. Yes I try my best to keep my bettas healthy and happy! I have three new bettas that arrived this week. So far, they are doing well. I put these flat thermometers on the glass of their tanks. The temperature of the water in their tanks is 82 degrees. I have heaters, which I will put in their tanks. I did not use thermometers and heaters for my previous bettas. I checked the parameters, and it is fine. I will put some almond leaves in their tanks.

in Indonesia 98% of people keep betta in solitary size 2 - 4 liters without oxygen and water filters. I think Indonesian people should watch this video.
Educating the young fish keepers is a key. Hope this video reach all those betta lovers. Appreciate your comment. Share it to friends as possible. 🙏🙏👍
Yeah my grandparents got gifted 5 Betta in little jars by their driver
@@glex4112 wtf , 5 bettas???
@@aquadiaryofficialsir , you are right but if we have 10-20 bettas ? We can't keep them in 20 different, 5 gallon tanks . How do we manage them ?
@SyedsTrend how and why would you have 10 to 20 bettas? Couldn't you sell the ones you don't want?
I've noticed a few times now, _and I don't normally pay attention to what my fish is doing when it gets stormy_ *until recently*
Q: for commenters~~ _do you notice your Betta begins building bubble nest prior to heavy storm?_ I'm wondering if Wee~Tsevot is expecting water levels to rise & fishes to be mingling more...
Interesting observation. In general monsoon season is the period most of freshwater fish breed in Asian countries. So your observation seems right. 😳😳😳👍
Very nice Video! The only thing I disagree with you is the minimum size of the tank. I would say 5 gallons are still to small. 6 Gallons are the absolute minimum in my opinion. But that‘s just a small disagreement. All in all everything you said is absolutely correct! ❤
🤝 🤝 👍
Yes, sadly I only have a 1 gallon tank but I’ve watched many videos on how to tell if your Betta fish is happy and he’s doing all the things. I hope you live his best life you know he has a 1 gallon tank I feel so bad for him Also it’s not 1 gallon it’s 1.5
5 gallons is generally considered the minimum, but to me it’s the bare bare minimum, with ten gallons being ideal
Double the volume for greater stability and more space for them to roam around
I personally would never keep fish under 20 Gallon. And I think Bettas need more space and will be more happy in bigger tanks. Unfortunately a lot people don't Care and think 5 Gallon is enough. I think this is animal cruelty
Bro whatever you say are true because these problem are in my betta too.
Cool, thanks for confirming. Means a lot to channel
I happen to have lost 3 bettas this far consecutively and all ended up having dropsy
no matter whatever i do , dropsy always catches upto my bettas
Can anyone help me?
i dont want my new betta to end up having the same
P.N : present betta is not in the tanks my old bettas had , he is in a seperate 10 gallon tank with sponge filter . I tried my best to ensure no material from the old tanks got introduced in the new tank
It's unfortunate to hear. Actually, we have playlist that talks about Dropsy treatment and other common betta issues in detail. Hope you find it helpful to recover your betta quick. ruclips.net/p/PLYwXgSCZLRS2MnquX07DUa9D3GoflUnlb
My betta tank is approx 10 gallons with temperature ranging from 23 to 28 degrees
Ammonia levels mostly 0
Nitrite sometimes rise but now are mostly stable
My betta is male
Weekly eats tubifex worms
But he is not gaining body colour
You are doing pretty much good. Give tannins by adding some almond leaves to enrich color.
i was thinking of getting a betta and i wanted to know if the things i wanted to buy are good for it, i was thinking of a 5 gallons thank with 2 plants and small rocks, do you think it could survive? and how should i change the water?
Sounds good so far. I would also get a heater and a filter for your tank. Plus something for the betta to hide in. I have a ceramic cave for mine that they sometimes sleep in. And before I forget, the plants, try to get live plants as they help with the fish waste. Anubius is a good beginner plant. My one betta likes to sleep on the leaves. 🙂
Bit late but I agree with the previous comment, though have a couple notes
Make sure the filter isn’t too strong, a sponge filter works best
Using a ceramic pot is a great idea but be sure to plug the hole so they don’t get stuck
And anubias and java fern are great beginner plants but they need to be attacked to driftwood or rocks and won’t grow if you try planting them, unless you leave the rhizome (the green horizontal stem) uncovered
As for water changes, use a gravel vac to remove 20-30% of the water every week, and remember to use dechlorinated when refilling
seeking your advise on keeping multiple bettas like 50pcs.
How old are they? Male or females bro?
@@aquadiaryofficial both brother... i am planning to do a small level shop
I have my Full moon betta for 3 years..
His name is blue 😁💙

inspiring!!
wanna share more?
What if the house is Constantly 80 or 70° can you get Oh way without a heater
Yes, if you house is constantly 80 (in hot places), you don’t need heater. It’s same for many Asian countries
70 is a bit low, but using a small 25-50watt uvb reptile halogen lamp as aquarium light source or additional light
may provide enough extra heat and comfortable place in the warm surface light for the fish.
Iam growing my betta in 6l tank

Good info on your channel! Thank you for making these. I hope you will move away from the robot narration eventually.
Mine scratches his head on the glass and died what was wrong
Ich, fungal infection cause such behavior. Even some aggressive betta do that if they see their reflection
Bro am i need to change water daily or for 3 days or 5 days or a week 😢 present im changing for week please tell me
My betta bowl is 3ltrs
3 litres is small for Betta fish. Changing water frequency depends on what setup you have. If you have a filter, some natural plants it will help to reduce water change frequency. Also what type of food you feed matters as well. I have a similar setup for my betta grow-out tanks(they like for 4 weeks there before selling). I change water every two days, feed only live food. Change to a bigger tank if you have the option, so that you can change 50% of the water weekly and do a full tank cleaning once a month. Happy Betta keeping!
@@aquadiaryofficial tq gentlemen 🔥
Aqua diary, I really worried of my Betta fish I got this year and now it’s only staring at its surroundings and stopping so often, instead of moving around, my betta fish is only stopping and staring at the plants. I am so worried.
Is he trying to bite plant surface? Looking lethargic?
Idk @@aquadiaryofficial
He is also pranking me very often.
i feed my fish 20 piece a day is that good 10 in the morning and 10 in the night
What do you feed, normal size pellets?
yes
@@aquadiaryofficial yes
@@jessabismanos6036 ok, if you see your fish consume them within 2mins each time, it’s good. But personally, I would soak pellets for few mins before putting them to the tank.
In 2 minutes my girls would eat skyscraper 💀
Haha! They do. Even few of my betta can eat 15 pellets in 20seconds. So this logic don’t apply to your well settled fish. 😜😜
@@aquadiaryofficial not surprised bettas are small pigs lol (I don't mean it the bad way)
Ok I want a suggestion is heater needed in summer season for a betta fish ??
If your room temperature is over 75F and tank reflects the same, you may not needed.
@@aquadiaryofficial thanks for the info
20 gallons from now on
😁😁🫡
Imo 20 gallons for a single betta fish would be soiling them…but they deserve it xD
Especially a long shallow tank with plenty of space to roam around but with easy access to the surface
Is there any other way to keep your fish happy than having a big tank
Yes, try best possible life you can give him. If tank is small and no options to upgrade, keep frequent 50% water change and cleaning. This video helps on keeping betta happy. ruclips.net/video/x3PdHgr7uKw/видео.htmlsi=dOuWeV4EM1i0LOzo
my dumbo ear Betta fish ear is damage plz give me suggestions how to cure it
Dumbo ears damage can be physical damage or even fin rot. Please check below videos for differences and treatment.
ruclips.net/video/G0jGpFEYtQA/видео.html
ruclips.net/video/woqIM-3hXgE/видео.html
Fin rot is either bacterial or fungal. I dealt with that a long time trying to cure it as a bacterial condition, but it ended up actually being fungal, which required different treatment. When bacterial treatment didn't work, I added red root duckweed, and it grew fungus rapidly. That was a good way to diagnose the issue.
Thnx mates 🙏
Also what are you can’t afford a filter by any means how can you keep your fish alive without a filter thank you
Great question. Feed right quantity. Use sand instead of gravel and try siphon cleaner to remove wastes periodically. Do more partial water changes.
Add a house plant that likes to grow its roots in water: pothos, peace lily, monstera,spider plant (without soil).
The above water plants are more efficient in cleaning the water of excess nitrates & nutrients
. I don’t use any filters, and I don’t need to do regular water changes,
Many plants (inside and above the aquariums) do the job.
Right amount of fish &
fish food in the tank is also important to keep the water clear. 😊
And more
Plant plants plants
🌱 🪴 🎋🎍
If you can't afford a £5 filter then you shouldn't be keeping fish
I have only one betta. He's got a 2.5 gallon tank. It's pretty big for him
Actually it’s small. You may need to do frequent water changes and proper tests to keep tank healthy and betta not getting affected.
5 gallon is recommended, especially since a higher water quantity means less maintenance of the water quality. It's not as large and difficult to fit in your home as it may sound.
That's like living your entire life in your bed room
I have a betta and I put it in a bowl with live plants and it's healthy
Hope your bowl is atleast 5 gallons in size.
Nah its like 1.5 or 2 gallons
Not ideal
They may survive, but they won’t *thrive*
@hello2213 just get a 5 gallon tank for crying out loud
very shopkeepers are don't care bettas 😢 and they died in a very small bowl
I think that for sellers it's naturally that betta is placed in a small place. Bettas are usually sold in large quantities I can't imagine the seller using a 5 gallon tank for every Betta he sells.
I agree. Some breeders really know how to take care even on small jar just grow them. But petstore cups are brutal in all aspects. 😕
Do betta had brain
They have brain, smart too.
