How To Choose A Best Betta Fish

[@zral417]

Thank you so much for this video! It really helped me, I got 2 high quality Betta fish sisters and they r healthy I got them from a breeder, aqua i was thinking on going to the store and until I watched ur vid and I realized buying from breeder is better thanks so much

[@zral417]

They're name is bubbles and luna

[@aquadiaryofficial]

Overwhelmed with your comment, I’m glad, video was helpful to you. Wish you the best. Happy Betta keeping! Lovely names! ❤️❤️❤️

[@Jadesjewellery]

My betta fish past two days ago and this video really helped and I am going to get a new one soon knowing these videos help thank you 🙏

[@samanthasalazar8685]

I chose the saddest sickest Betta fish . And named him scuba Steve he’s beautiful now his baby fin is growing in so beautifully. And he’s very sweet boy. Any betta deserves love .JMO :)

Happy to hear! Glad he finds you for better life. ❤️🫡🫡

Same same😊 mine is named Harold…he’s soooo sweet!

[@mclovin2408]

I did the same thing with my betta but I’m probably overly worried about making everything perfect for him, I’m even getting a separate tank just for him to have live food lol.

[@samanthasalazar8685]

@@mclovin2408 I sadly lost scubba Steve . Now I have red and he has endlers and guppies . He’s very chill also ghost shrimp nirate snails and 10 gallon he’s happy . 😊

[@vblackwell3347]

Ah, heartbreaking. Do you know why it didn't work? I have a fully equipped, heavily planted 20 gal black water tank w/ a mystery snail waiting for a rm mate. Do you recommend just trying for a healthy fish rather than taking the risk?

[@FluffyEclairs]

While I didn't buy my betta fish, I did rescue one. My betta fish was a class pet that was mostly impulse bought by a student. I got him and gave him a 5 gal tank, live plants, a heater, a filter, water conditioner, and a place to hide. I didn't do everything right though (I didn't cycle the tank.) Still, he is definitely better now and if you want to see him, he's on my KZbin channel.

Wish I would’ve seen this video sooner! My betta turned out to have fin rot once I bought him but it thankfully got resolved. Thank you for sharing this!

[@aquadiaryofficial]

Thank you! Pleasure is mine. Glad you are able to recover your betta from finrot. 👍

[@FluffyEclairs]

How did your Betta recover from fin rot? I think mine may have it and I don't know what to do. He probably came from Petco, so he is poorly bred. His two side fins look a bit odd.

[@sandidsaman7723]

it would be helpful if u tell the method of treatment

[@sandidsaman7723]

Plakats are the hardiest types I would suggest starting with plakats for any new betta keepers

[@garg4531]

Agreed Short-finned bettas for the win!

[@garg4531]

All useful information but I personally would add a bit more info on different types of betta fish, both so the viewer can know about them and decide which they like best, but also to let them know about possible health problems they might have, like how long-finned bettas often struggle from their fins being prone to damage and disease, while short-finned bettas tend to be much hardier and more active Edit: on a related note, some people claim that certain types are more or less aggressive than others, and while it is true that aggression can be genetic, it’s not an exact rule and there are numerous exceptions I know one fish keeper that had a very feisty halfmoon and a very peaceful plakat, for example, even though these are considered the least and most aggressive types of betta respectively (I personally think this mindset comes from how halfmoons have giant fins that slow them down and keep them from going after tankmates, even if they have an aggressive personality [which was actually the case with this one], while plakats have shorter fins making it much easier for them to chase after other fish in the event they act aggressively)

[@aquadiaryofficial]

Great insight, helps many beginners 👍

[@garg4531]

@@aquadiaryofficial Thanks! Can say to same to you

[@edp_445_is_back]

I disagree any betta fish can be healthy all of my betta fish were from petsmart and little cups it just matters about how you take care of them

It’s not for who likes to get petstore betta and give better life. It’s for people who like to choose best from the store. It’s already called out in the video. Happy betta keeping.

Very good video. Just set my first tank up and waiting for it to cycle. It is a 6.6 gallon. I don't have a Betta fish as yet so what you presented in the video what very helpful to me. Thank you!

[@aquadiaryofficial]

Glad to hear it’s helpful! Thanks for commenting 👍👍

[@cecilia7259]

I used to choose bettas that reacted to me, regardless of their health condition. But after a few times of that, I decided that if I could only take one at a time, that I should give the healthiest a chance instead, since there was no way for me to bring them all home. So now I don't fall for the industry's trap by supporting their bad husbandry. Now I only dish out money for the fish that got adequate care. I'm so done picking after their sloppiness and spending extra money for the extra care that goes into an initially sick betta. I want to spend all my money on a healthy fish, in its enjoyment, not its medicine. Thank you for the video, as that's exactly how I chose my last betta, a young female with healthy scales and eyes, and perfect fins. Now, she's having the time of her life in her own aquarium and I am having fun keeping her ❤

My betta is in a 30 gallon tank.

[@sandidsaman7723]

My new betta has different colouration on his head and gills , there r pink/purple circular spots in his head and gills look dark purple btw his body is mostly pinkish white with dark red tails I initially thought it maybe ammonia poisoning from the store but they r still exsitent after more than a week of keeping in my quality tank but the betta is otherwise healthy and extremely active except the unusual colourations on the head and gills any advise? p.n : the colourations r not bumps but only colours

[@aquadiaryofficial]

Honestly its hard to tell without photos. But white tail with red spots on edges symptom for finrot. faded coloration on head and gill possibly velvet/fungus infection. But i can be absolutely wrong. I suggest to post the picture my social network groups or tag on instagram to help better. details in description.

I had a question. Is a Koi Candy Betta Fish a community living fish?

[@aquadiaryofficial]

No, it’s based on betta aggression level. Generally, koi candy are aggressive. But they can live in community tank as long as tank is big and tank mates suits your betta

Bettas don't do well in bowls. They can survive, but it's by no means a thriving, happy existence. They need heated, cycled 5-gallon yanks with some form of filtration. Go watch aquarium co-op's videos on how to care for a betta.

2 weeks ago, i bought my first betta after lots of research. i set up a 10 gallon tank, heater, sponge filter etc. i had only picked live plants after reading abt the benefits. i made the mistake of buying my fish from a chain pet store. he passed today & i blamed myself until seeing this video. i've realized what to watch for in betta behavior and now know he was probably suffering from illness of some kind. i'm going to continue my research before keeping another & this helped tremendously

[@CLMG714]

I was not planning on buying a Betta fish but I went to a well known pet store and saw them in a small cup. There was a Betta with long fins and it could barely move. I got him and another Betta fish. On the same day, I got 5gal tanks for each and everything else. Lesson learned #1- Bettas do not like strong currents #2- Water conditioner is needed #3- They need a heater #4 - They prefer wide tanks rather than tall/long tanks to swim #5- They like natural 🍁 🍃/betta log.

[@DeborahDunn-l8y]

I just subscribed now. I met a beta fish last week at petco. It was just resting at the bottom of the small cup. The fish got really excited when I walked up to look at the fish and gave the fish attention. When I walked away, the fish floated back down to the bottom of the cup. Then I came right back and the fish seemed really excited to see me again. I wanted to buy the beta fish, I'm 3 hours away from the pet store. I wasn't sure if the fish would make it home with me. Now I'm researching beta fish to learn how to take care of them. I sure do not like the small cups they have to live in.

[@aquadiaryofficial]

Yes, they can survive for 3 hrs drive, it’s not a problem. Consider 5 gallons minimum. May be this video helps on basics. Good luck! kzbin.info/www/bejne/Z6CWYpSpgt2Neqcsi=NxuO_rrccNWLKhlX

Thier colors don't decide their aggressiveness at all bro.

[@aquadiaryofficial]

Ofcourse yes! But it’s because blue and red bettas were genetically modified for long time and generations after generations.. you may see them naturally aggressive due to captivity breeding. It’s says by betta congress. 👍

[@Bucephalandra]

@@aquadiaryofficial Thank you for replying! Most of betta in the world has been provided from Thailand even now. They don't always keep same blood in their breed. And as we see guppy which released in a river always gets back to original color. Even if the origin of story was as your story, Thier aggressiveness must have got back to origin already. And I haven't seen such difference of aggressiveness with color.

[@sariel8406]

i have seen some breeders tagging reds as aggressive. So its not a myth. Its like cats and dogs, some breeds are more aggressive.

[@Bucephalandra]

@@sariel8406 Regardless of color they are aggressive. And their aggressiveness is individually different. Myth could be viral as this video as people do it without statistics data. DNA tends to go to origin through breeds over time. This is statistic data. It is evidenced with a lot of breeds as guppy in river. And usual breeder work is also same. As they do not focus on aggressiveness, same thing happens.

[@ItsMinnowSeason]

​@@sariel8406maybe this is because in trying to ensure the best genetics in early days of domestication, they allowed the more aggressive betas to breed only as non-aggressive ones may have been deemed weaker/sick so it's just become smth strong in the breeds?
