Fish Room Update!

[@RiverLifeUS]

Sounds like a plan! Great looking fish BTW. The Betta I bought from you is doing GREAT! Had to change his name to Pretty Fish since he is a center piece in fish room and visitors predictably say, "He's a Pretty Fish!"

[@SimplyBetta]

Yay, Pretty Fish is a great name! : )

[@TheTurtleGirl]

Yay update! Love seeing all the spawns....can't wait to see how you'll go about expanding ;)

[@SimplyBetta]

haha thanks, me too ^^

[@HCAqua]

Holly smokes! You're going to need more walls!

[@FirstNameLastName-cz4js]

3:20 it’s so great when they’re young enough to have a lot together but they’re still colorful

[@SimplyBetta]

Yeah, it is fun to see them all swimming around together!

[@meeganbeck661]

My local pet store has this really cool rack system that does a drip and drain system that constantly changes the water for their bettas. That may be nice on you end so they don’t need to be changed so often :)

[@SimplyBetta]

That is what I'll be making! Not a constant thing though, I'll have to turn it on manually like once a day or so for a full water change

[@JimMeeker]

The betta barracks sounds like a great idea. Looking forward to seeing how that comes together.

[@SimplyBetta]

Thanks Jim! Me too, I have never trued any kind of auto water change system. Well I guess I would call it a drip system. Doodling up some plans now ; )

[@Lifewithpets72]

So good to see you back! The tanks with the dividers look great. Wow, you’ve got your hands full I can’t even imagine the time it must take for you to do all those water changes!! Really looking forward to seeing you new Betta barracks.

[@SimplyBetta]

Thanks, I love the dividers! Haha I do spend a lot of time, now I'm determined to get more efficient in the fish room. The hours it saves will be worth the cost ; )

[@LeslieF0330]

Good luck with the new build of the barracks! I can't wait to see what you come up with. Hope you have a great trip as well. ☺️

[@SimplyBetta]

Thank you! : )

[@katherynkarn8281]

Me: Oh cool dividers! I should check them out Site: We only ship to the states Me: Of course, everything great is only shipped in the states.... being in Canada sucks for that

[@SimplyBetta]

Oh dang! ^^

[@SimplyBetta]

She does have a vid on how to make them yourself, if that interests you ; )

[@katherynkarn8281]

I have made diy dividers before, but they're no where near as good looking as her's ^.^ they do the trick though!

[@emmaarmstrong5007]

Ikr!!! I had to get a friend who lives in the states to order the dividers 😂. Then the divider didn't fit so I had to saw the bottom. It works very well though ☺

[@thelinglingshow7400]

Katheryn Karn where can i find these divider

[@lesliejohnson2982]

I think the betta barracks system will look awesome. I'm making a "self contained" fish room out of a cabinet that was originally used as a pantry in an older house. I'm looking forward to your updates and plans for the betta barracks so I can steal ideas for my "fish room"

[@SimplyBetta]

Of course, steal away! I'm doodling my plans now, can't wait to get this going. Maybe once the holiday madness dies down!

[@AquaApprentice]

Hope you had a great trip! Having to many fish can become a quick problem and auto water change system is the way to go. Look forward to seeing the room once the system is setup.

[@SimplyBetta]

Thanks, me too! I'm doodling my plans now

[@AceCastill0]

I have a dozen 3 week old betta fry in a 20 gallon. I was considering transferring them to a container similar to yours. How do you maintain the water quality in those containers? Are they temperature controlled?

[@SimplyBetta]

My fish room is temperature controlled, and I like my containers but small volumes of water require so much work to maintain :/

[@desertbloombettas1961]

Glad to see this update - I've been wondering how your spawns were doing!

[@SimplyBetta]

Thank you!

[@rudy2285]

Well done as usual! I can’t wait to see auto change system up and running. Have fun!!

[@SimplyBetta]

Thanks!

[@markRTFGuns]

Awesome. What’s your website ? I would love to buy a few from you. Thanks and have a great vacation.

[@SimplyBetta]

Thank you! simplybetta.com is my site, not a lot on there right now but I'll update it once my current spawns mature and I have more of a selection

[@lesliejohnson2982]

Those dividers look amazing! I have a 55 gallon I want to divide up. I wonder how many I can fit. :)

[@SimplyBetta]

Dividing up a 55 would be fun!

[@petawright5133]

I had a Metallic blue/green rose tail betta. When I got him the pet store said he was a half moon but he was clearly not. I didn’t know about the reys in rose tails were bent until I watched your live with big city bettas. Earlier this month he chewed off his tail which majorly improved his swimming. I thought he was doing great, then he just died! I had him for about 2 years so I don’t think he was old. All I know is that before he chewed off his tail he couldn’t swim. Then after he chewed it off he swimmers great. He had no discoloration or anything. Do you have any idea why he would just pass like that? I’m just so worried that it’s something in the tank, I have another dumbo eared plakat (I think that’s how you spell it) and he’s great! They shared a five gallon split, do you think it was something in the water that I should be worried about? Or not a big deal? (Sorry if I didn’t give you enough info!) I love your channel and I’ve been watching you for a while! Have a good day :)

[@SimplyBetta]

Oh gosh, it is tough to say why he would die like that. Metallic bettas are prone to tumors, maybe he had some internal stuff going on. Thanks for following along!

[@JosephMartin]

There is NEVER too many fish! Great vid, just subbed!

[@melaniegaming5674]

Omg! I am a huge fan. I love the sound of your fucture update. And your recent updates😊😁🐟🐟🐟

[@SimplyBetta]

Thank you!

[@PincheMigs]

Nice to see a video from you! So many babies!

[@SimplyBetta]

Haha thanks!

[@FishmanEricRussell]

Cool. Thanks for sharing. Soldering is the way to go

[@SimplyBetta]

My first soldering kit is on the way, I'm a little nervous about it!

[@FishmanEricRussell]

You will have no problem with it

[@BettaFx]

Maybe replace the door with one where u can slide. And do you remineralize your ro water or mix but of tap I too use this method with high kh

[@SimplyBetta]

That would be the COOLEST. For my water, I cut it with RO water. About half tap half RO, or even 1/3 tap and 2/3 RO. When I forget is when I have all my fry die : (

[@yourstruly3900]

Good to see ya fish lover, happy holidays to you and yours

[@cocacolits]

hi there very nice bettas you have, and you are all sold out in the page. hope to se more of new barracj you will set

[@SimplyBetta]

Thank you!

[@jeffreyyoungblood9012]

reallly looking forward to this

[@SimplyBetta]

^^

[@DnASnakes]

love seeing your Bettas. You have beautiful fish.

[@SimplyBetta]

Thank you Don ; )

[@car1m310]

"efishient" lol

[@SimplyBetta]

I'm so clever

[@namdoh96]

Fish room is a heaven of betta~!

[@williamamely7038]

Good luck with your system. Your current layout looks great, as do your Bettas. I am glad to see more Women involved in Bettas breeding. It can be both fun and rewarding. Needless to say it's a ton of work, too. I haven't bred bettas since 2000, but I will be getting a nice pair from Thailand and I will give it a shot again.

[@SimplyBetta]

Def. give it a shot again! :)

[@jonnamesoy7035]

Hi!how many days the baby betta fry separated to his father?

[@ilovefish8442]

I love your channel so much! You have inspired me to write my own stories called fish 4 life! I am hoping to get my thirtieth fish tomorrow!

[@SimplyBetta]

hehe cool!

[@horseshoebettas5260]

soo excited to see an update!!can't wait for your plans!and by the way there no such thing as a" sloppy video" when bettas are involved lol.and im buildin a betta barrack to!!

[@SimplyBetta]

Right on, race you!

[@horseshoebettas5260]

challenge accepted......iv already bought the stuff butt im to lazy to build lol...keep up the awsome content!

[@SimplyBetta]

I'm like that for a few of my own current projects!

[@ryanlucey785]

Your fish are so beautiful!!!

[@SimplyBetta]

Thank you ^^

[@glockfanboy4635]

When are you going to post new fish on your site? 😀

[@SimplyBetta]

When my current spawns mature. Or once the holiday madness settles down! ; )

[@User-ws7hl]

Once they get bigger you can cull the spawns and that’ll help a lot with the numbers

[@chualeelanchua7200]

Hi,I'm a big fan and I love betta too!I'll probably be getting another koi betta

[@Chronicallywitty]

Your spawns are so beautiful! Would love one of your giant's spawn...

[@SimplyBetta]

Gawsh, thanks!

[@sooyoungie5137]

Hey, I’m curious what your spawning procedure is. Everybody’s is a little bit different, but I’d like to know how long you let your betta couples see each other before actually letting them do their thing.

[@SimplyBetta]

I don't usually give them those "dates", if my fish are well-conditioned all the time they are ready to breed and I can usually plop them in the tank together without any kind of "showing" or special conditioning and they'll spawn for me. If I am unsure, I'll add the male to the spawning tank and put the female in there too, but still in her jar. I can look at their body languages to see if they look like they will breed for me. If my fish are not conditioned for breeding, I will do the "dates" and let them see each other for a week or so while I fatten them up

[@sooyoungie5137]

Simply Betta Unfortunately my koi Male I’m trying to breed right now is probably the most awkward betta I’ve had. He is 6 months old but I haven’t seen a lick of a bubble nest from him. I first thought it was just because he just wasn’t interested, but now I think he just doesn’t know what to do. He is very socially awkward and doesn’t know how to behave around females. No flaring, no playfulness, just swimming and turning his head away at any female. Or he genuinely doesn’t know how to make a bubble nest. Which is a big problem.

[@corgiplush6894]

My Christmas list is mostly Betta fish supplies and tanks and i adore your Betta's for sale but I don't have money and I'm currently crowded in my room so when I get more room I'm instantly getting one!

[@SimplyBetta]

Haha thanks, appreciate it! I should have a lot more to choose from soon

[@takemetoparadise7069]

why not having an indoor or outdoor pond?

[@iAmFAUST]

Do you have any giant males for sales and how big are they usually? I got a gold female whom I think is quite large. I got her overseas and she is about 5 to 5.5cm body wise without including tail. She is too big for my black samurai plakat male.

[@SimplyBetta]

None currently! I'm hoping for a spawn soon, though

[@allenjones1947]

Did the fluval food ever get sent out?

[@SimplyBetta]

I'll have to email the fluval guy, I have not heard of anyone getting their samples yet!

[@mavibeyaz7063]

Such a lovely mess😍. They are looking hapy🤗. So don' t worry

[@User-ws7hl]

What plants do you suggest for beginners? I’m really great at killing plants no matter how hard I try.

[@ZeethK92]

Mantar 99 Anubis is pretty bullet proof.

[@User-ws7hl]

Thanks!

[@wildrattygirl7829]

All your fish look beautiful!

[@SimplyBetta]

Thank you! : )

[@wildrattygirl7829]

Simply Betta 😁

[@choronzon.333]

It happened to me, I had 11 tanks going, the smallest was a 55, the largest 125, I don't count ten gallons with plants growing and jars with fry etc, so yea, it was out of hand. I have it under control. Kinda.

[@SimplyBetta]

I shouldn’t count 10-gallons either....

[@shellmo2863]

SOOOOOOOOOOOO many babies!

[@SimplyBetta]

Yep!! ;D

[@anthonyragan2696]

Welcome back, I've missed watching your videos. I'll be interesting to see how the barracks project goes. 👍

[@SimplyBetta]

Thanks!

[@FlynnsFishForum]

I got my first betta!! :)

[@SimplyBetta]

Yay!

[@SimplyBetta]

You better post a video on it soon : )

[@jacobkensy5629]

Cool Same I got two bettas like a week ago

[@lifehappens6447]

I don't buy in the winter because it is freezing here. Lol. But come spring I am soooooo getting some bettas from you!!!!

[@SimplyBetta]

Yeah, cool weather is risky! I figure anything below 40F is risky to ship in, even with a heat pack

[@lifehappens6447]

Simply Betta it has been getting down into the 20's here. Yuck. Lol

[@SimplyBetta]

Mimi A Betta yuck!

[@tamarasimpson2879]

I'm used to 50-150 babies, tiny spawns throw me off so badly :( Right now I have a spawn of about 100 marble dragon fry from an import pair and a spawn of about 20 double tail fry

[@tamarasimpson2879]

By the way I'm a mom of a 2yr old ^^

[@SimplyBetta]

That is a lot of babues! Hmm, something about my water maybe lends towards small spawns? I'm not sure!

[@SimplyBetta]

Sure is a lot of work and fun! : )

[@tamarasimpson2879]

Yes it is :)

[@Skylrrider]

I love love love your fish room!!

[@SimplyBetta]

And I love love love yours!

[@yosammitisam4359]

Did you get rid of your website or something cause I can't find it

[@SimplyBetta]

Oh I should link that in the description. simplybetta.com is my site, though not a lot is on there at the moment. Once some more of my juveniles grow out there will be a lot more to choose fomr

[@Shibagal]

www.simplybetta.com/ this link, otherwise get redirected to a "reported as unsafe" link

[@glaciersheat3856]

Where I can buy fish online? I live in Alaska betta is is rare in here

[@msmith5617]

I LOVE the blue giant fry!!!! Please put some up for sale when there older!!

[@SimplyBetta]

Thank you, I will! I hope some of them turn out to be true giants ; )

[@edenchuri383]

How many bettas (adults) do you have total?

[@SimplyBetta]

I lost track! Umm, 25 adults I think.

[@raeanna310]

I'm excited to see how you get the barrack system to work. I eventually want to breed bettas and there aren't enough videos out there for this. I hope you make videos on it! Also wondering how exactly you do water changes? Do you use dechlorinator every time?

[@SimplyBetta]

Hey thanks! I'm looking forward to it, have it all planned out but need to buy materials after the holidays. I use a 25 gal trash can to do water changes: I fill it, age it or dechlorinate it, add my tannins, heat it to the correct temp, then water change from there

[@raeanna310]

Simply Betta yay! Yeah holidays are crazy . I'm waiting until after to do my divided tank setup for multiple bettas! That is genius. Thanks for the info! :)

[@jkytest1]

Yay~ finally a new video

[@SimplyBetta]

Finally!

[@kennethvelazquez5368]

Great video!!! Thanks for sharing.

[@Deb1Gilmore]

Would love to purchase some females from you...what is your website? Thank-You and Happy Thanksgiving!! p.s. Shelia at Lifewithpets is an angel. Her dividers are great!!

[@User-ws7hl]

Deborah Gilmore her website is SimplyBetta.com and she still has fish available from what I can tell

[@SimplyBetta]

Thank you! I should have a bunch of sorority-friendly females to choose from once my current spawns mature

[@Deb1Gilmore]

Please, please let me know when...I'm not picky at all. To me they are all beautiful !!! Thank You!!!

[@BestIeverhadisyou]

Nice setup! Does the petstore pay you for your bettas (I hope so) - and do you ship bettas? I live in Canada and would be interested in a couple.

[@yvonnem3707]

Hi, looks like u need mire walls for more barracks...why don't u take down the restroom mirror and wallaaaaaa! 😊 u have more space for more barracks

[@SimplyBetta]

The mirror is solidly fixed to the wall, otherwise I would in a heartbeat haha

[@servicedogdaisy3670]

I'm thinking about breeding fish but I am still thinking about it. Any tips for me.

[@SimplyBetta]

Start small and do your research on the fish you choose :)

[@servicedogdaisy3670]

Simply Betta I'm wanting to breed betta fish. I have done research but some of it contridicts itself. For instance, some people say to use filters in a grow out tank and some say not to. I don't know what the best type of grow out food would be at all.

[@sarahchua3712]

Do you sell some of them?

[@SimplyBetta]

I do on simplybetta.com, though I am waiting for some to grow out right now before I add more fish

[@salvolondon]

How old are your oldest bettas?

[@kamrankhanofficials]

what food to give fry for the first and second weeks.i am giving egg yolk only.its day 6.plz do reply.

[@SimplyBetta]

For the first week I do banana worms and microworms, then by the second week they also eat baby brine shrimp. I have heard of people using egg yolk but careful, it can foul water quickly

[@namdoh96]

👍Thanks for sharing! Good looking 🐠🎬

[@TENNAquarium]

I believe you need more space for all your fish 🤣 lot of work 👍🏻

[@KenKrush]

are you giving theme away ?

[@User-ws7hl]

erick jaimes her website is SimplyBetta.com and she still has fish available

[@XxJUSTCUPIDxX]

I love simply betta

[@SimplyBetta]

:D

[@marksnanotanks7972]

How can I get my bettas to spawn?

[@SimplyBetta]

Are they just not interested? Make sure they're properly conditioned

[@COOPERSCICHILDS]

Nice I have to many fry too

[@randallho3587]

Wait how long can a baby betra survive without food?

[@briannaunderwood6134]

u have a website? omg.

[@detiforoowa]

Hey what do betta fry eat?

[@SimplyBetta]

Tiny live foods

[@dustin_ridess9462]

Do you sell them?

You can invest those fishes

[@kelseycarter9384]

whats her website to buy bettas?

[@SimplyBetta]

simplybetta.com

[@nadeemahmad-dn7ed]

You should sell some of them

[@e.e.a.5932]

A lot of your fish had stress lines...they are not kept in great condition it seems

[@SimplyBetta]

@Silentsilver Juveniles often show those lines as markings, especially darkbodied ones. It doesn't always mean a juvenile is stressed

[@vanther1]

Te amo!!!

[@boscoitalics]

Love all your fish

[@varadarajgowda9985]

After introducing eachother, What to do if female attacks to male betta ?

[@christinevanwinkle5698]

I would totally buy a betta fish from you. you take care of them so well. I do plan on getting another tank for another betta after the holidays so I hope you put up another batch up soon!

[@SimplyBetta]

Oh gosh, thanks! ; )

[@hannahporter7516]

I definitely would be interested in buying a pair of giants.

[@SimplyBetta]

I hope to get some true giant spawns soon!

[@YoutubeT-rex]

How to breed Betta??????

[@andreaceline]

hey! i love your videos. i was wondering if i could ask you a question about a baby betta i have. the store labeled him as a boy. i’ve had him for 8 weeks today, and i’m starting to think he is a she. he’s not growing his fins or anything. he’s still about an inch long. would you have any information on how to gender them?

[@User-ws7hl]

Andrea Celine Munoz Betta Fish Keepers on Facebook is a great group. I’d consider joining them and asking on there

[@SimplyBetta]

look for an egg spot!

[@andreaceline]

Simply Betta thank you :)

[@ameliasmenagerie3350]

Oooh will you be selling grindal worm culture ever? I really would love to buy some :)

[@SimplyBetta]

Soon! I started a big culture with the intent of selling from it, just waiting for them to populate it

[@aalbertshaji9279]

Do you sell bettas

[@maxgoldsmith807]

I want those betta fish 🐟

[@annashobbies4350]

Let me know when you're ready to sell. I would love to have one of your Betta's. Awesome video!💚🐠💚

[@SimplyBetta]

Thank you! I have a few left on simplybetta.com, but I will have a lot more to choose form once some of my juveniles grow out some more

[@MrRiyazs]

My male fish Killed the female for what reason?😢

[@SimplyBetta]

because they were not ready to breed

[@pgloi]

Fry it.. best serve with congee

[@SimplyBetta]

lolol

[@rocktonaquatics5530]

Your bettas are beautiful

[@SimplyBetta]

Thank you!

[@lauraloy1657]

Fishes... more than one fish.

[@SimplyBetta]

And mooses?

[@christinevanwinkle5698]

can you spawn a batch of elephant ear half moon bettas. I luckily found one and he is so beautiful.

[@SimplyBetta]

I don't have any elephant ears! ... yet
