first video i could find on this that wasnt a bot voice or just text video. Awesome content and appreciate the extra effort to voice this for an easy listen.

[@AquariumStoreDepot]

I appreciate that! Thank you for your comment. Our voice over and editing had gotten a lot better - this is one of our older videos :)

[@luizaol9212]

Great video about the Betta Fish, I was looking for a video like this and I'm glad I found this one, you explain it very well!

[@andrewperera5527]

Great information about betta fish. Amazing explain. Thanks for sharing

[@shahariarkhan4856]

Thanks for bringing this topic up! Whenever I ask a fish aquarium store employee why Bettas behave this way, often the standard reply is that they're lethargic and might be diseased (though it sounds reasonable given the conditions they were in)

[@AquariumStoreDepot]

Thanks for your comment Shahariar. I know it can be frustrating 😅. Happy to educate.

[@juanitoch5753]

I didn't know the reason why before Betta Fish Laying On Bottom Of Tank. I got it clearly today. It was a very important video for my survey. It taught clearly. You explained it in a way that anyone can easily understand. I watched the video till the end with great interest. A lot. Learned important points. Very valuable video. I am very interested in the subject. You are excellent. Thank you very much for a very valuable video. I am waiting for the next video.

An amazing video and much interesting... 😍

[@MKristen702]

Thank you for your thorough and informative video! I think my girl might be suffering from swim bladder disease but all my research just says “poor water quality” is to blame. I test for ammonia, nitrite, and nitrate and the levels are fine (0/0/5-10ppm). Now I have some other things to try. I really want to save her!

[@sayemacademy2211]

I was putting a new fish in tank and the cup got a suction now it is laying against the wall on bottom tank. Is it dying? It is a 2 gallon tank with devider and the other fish is ok. Its summer and Didnt know I needed a heater till it got colder.

[@TXNLaurenMcN]

Thank you so much for the information! (I subscribed.) I have one question: Do you use stock footage, or do you personally take the videos of the individual fish? I simply cannot get a good, clear image -- even a still shot -- of my young rescue. Mainly, he has a white spot on his left side that does not appear to be spreading, but it is worrisome. I cannot get a shot of him to post so others can see it. I don't even know what sort of Betta he is because he didn't have much tail left when I got him. (I'm the third owner.)

[@AquariumStoreDepot]

It’s a bit of everything. I don’t keep every fish I feature on the channel. You can use a lens app for fish tanks - they are more popular with reef tanks because of the lighting. If your betta has a few white spots it’s likely ich

[@TXNLaurenMcN]

@@AquariumStoreDepot ~ There's just one and it looks more like an injury than ich. ~ I'll look for that lens app. Thanks so much for the rapid reply.

[@pablo-vq8zd]

I just had a horrible thing happen in my tank. I have a 40 gallon tank I have to bettas one male and one female. As well as some kind of bottom feeder fish that came with the tank (not a pleco) I also had neon tetras but yesterday for some reason they all died at different points of the day. Ever since they all died my male has been hiding and laying at the bottom of the tank. The water parameters were all correct and I have no clue why all the neons died I added methalyne blue to the tank to possibly treat a disease that was spreading and the other fish seem fine my male betta is just acting different

[@danielhinds5050]

[@chandrashekarbr5082]

Amazing video. Can betta live with snails .

[@AquariumStoreDepot]

Yes they can. Mystery snails are best as they are bigger. Nerite also work as they don't reproduce

[@Kobro10]

Thanks! My betta is lying at the bottom of my tank since I got it two days ago. It has not eaten anything. All the conditions are right. Can you tell me why this is happening?

[@AquariumStoreDepot]

It could be transfer shock. Do you have any other tank mates? Any sign of rapid breathing or other signs of stress?

[@mikipera8292]

One tip for all, if you plan comunion aquarium and want your Betta to hafe friends - put them in first!
