My betta died this evening 😥 I've had him for 18 months.

[@TheItssM]

my betta ‘hunter’ died and i was so devastated so i never watch a video or searched anything related to bettas ‘til now … is this a sign ? glad you’re back dude !!

[@Pharmaquatics]

This is your sign to get another!

[@timfelixbrosch7250]

I had a few bettas by now. 3 of the 4 Bettas I had died way too soon. A good diet (frozen food, flake food, live food, pellets), water parameters are all good, fully cycled 10 gallon tanks. Everything that's reccomended was tried. One had a tumor, another died of dropsy shortly after buying, the other survived dropsy, but didn't completely recover ever again, the third died due to stress after getting swimbladder disease. They were all from the same LFS. My 4th Betta is from the same LFS but looks wildly different. It looks like a wild betta. It was sold to me as a female, but later turned out to be a male. It is in a 5 Gallon unheated tank with shrimps and snails, and only gets processed food, pellets flakes etc. Still varied but nothing fancy. He's doing way better than all my bettas before. I suspect thata lot of bettas have really bad genes, and that frozen food and live food ist probably contaminated with germs. I'll stick to more wild bettas and my processed food for now. Seems the best option so far.

Thanks for sharing and great to hear it eventually worked out with one of your bettas. Hoping others realize through this video that survivability of a betta sometimes is out of the hands of the owner, even when they do everything right! Great that you didn't let it deter you from keeping on going.

[@elayned6147]

Was waiting for another video from you ❤

[@Pharmaquatics]

Thank you!

[@braden2233]

I have been keeping fish since I was 7 or so, I am 19 now. We have kept Mollies, Goldfish, Guppies, African Cichlids, Plecos, Tin Foil Barb, Blood Parrot Fish, and countless bettas. And the hardest to alive (more so healthy) are the bettas.

[@JKFishKeeping]

The “nostalgia” of this video 👌 brought me back. Like seeing those tanks up and running!

[@Z-S-H]

Great video and lecture, good scripting, excellent job Sir 👍

[@Pharmaquatics]

Many thanks!

[@ReinhardvonHolst]

[@christianliteratus]

Welcome back!

[@Pharmaquatics]

Thanks Christian!

[@AlthosWTF]

Never heard of a leftover fee....very interesting. Thanks for the betta info as well ;)

[@Pharmaquatics]

Pretty common for the all you can eat spots in my area!

[@ginnybenett428]

I did the research before buying my plakat. So far he is doing great.

[@dhirajpalve2175]

I have kept bettas in 5 gallons tank with 2 compartments water quality quite good feeding was on time once a day...1st betta died and day after that i changed 40 % water then again 2nd one died....dont know why, the betta is not moving much just staying at a corner or at one place before dying, eating quite less? Dont know why?

[@chrisnguyen3080]

The tap water in my area ways stay at 8.2 and above. Is there any solution to lower my pH beside using indian almond leaves as it’s darken my water so much that I couldn’t see my fish at all ? I have used proper pH powder from seachem and it actually left a layer of chemical film on top of the water the next day that I had to throw that water away and not using for my fish 😢

[@Pharmaquatics]

It's not worth chasing a certain pH with your tap. Even neocaradina shrimp keepers say this (and you can argue shrimp are more pH sensitive than bettas). The key is to acclimate your betta very slowly to our tap's pH. It may not be in ideal ranges, but putting additives in your water to reach a specific pH can actually be more harmful since you're more prone to fluctuations. The only other option is starting from base 0 with RO water, but again, it's not worth it imo.

[@chrisnguyen3080]

@@Pharmaquatics yes an RO system would be too much for a beginner as me unless you are a hardcore betta owner. I guess I’ll just stick with that 8.0 pH and let my fish acclimate it by the times.

[@HansenTamayo-rf8dx]

I don't know if a betta can be healthy in a bare bottom tank, I've been keeping my Betta 1 week in a tank that's bare bottom,but I can literally see all the dirt lying around the bottom

[@MeanOldLady]

I inoculated a 9 gallon tank with 1 gallon of pond water & 7 gallons of treated, tap water. It took less than a week to establish a healthy system. (Father fish method). The snail, shrimp & bettas are all thriving & doing great. The water isn't pristine, just like it isn't in their natural environment, but everyone's happy & healthy.

[@Pharmaquatics]

Love it!

[@JumpcutJams40]

I RECENTLY LOST MY DUMBO EAR BETTA NAMED FRANKY BECAUSE OF DROPSY😢 RIP FRANKIE 😢

[@Pharmaquatics]

RIP Frankie!

[@enigma533]

By the way Betta cant jump more than 1 inch.. so 2 inch lower water without lid is fine

[@enigma533]

Here there is one fish keeper.. who says feed betta everyday, feed heavy so they become healthy

[@hoanghieu2698]

My fish died I didn’t know what I cleaned the tank so many times and What reason did my non-beta Fish died

[@NoName-mq5cv]

I already had 2 betta and they died on the same reasons everytime I change they water they die I mean i change it properly and I do not put the betta after the water change but why they keep dying😭

[@hoanghieu2698]

My number fish died and I didn’t know what happened I gave it food I fillter Water and now I died I don’t know the reason

[@debbiebridges6350]
