My Last Betta Fish Tank Video

[@cheena21]

Feel sad about your bettas 😭. You gave them luxury life but sad for them. I alway loved to watch your videos about betta tank 🖤. Thank you for that.

[@freshwatertanks]

thank you so much! 😃🙌

[@meggrotte4760]

After my French bulldog passed away I got into the hobby and I found out that all the creatures that you love they really do go to heaven. An amazing story behind that

[@freshwatertanks]

i'm sure all animals go to heaven! 😃

[@beaka63]

I am so sad for your losses. I always looked forward to your videos, and learned so much, your tanks were an inspiration! Also your gorgeous camera/editing work. I have recently lost 3 of my bettas, but I have 6 others, and my oldest are still hanging in there and doing well. I have two new ones coming, and am looking forward to them, but I do understand the need to take a break. Your other tanks are also gorgeous and inspirational. Take good care, you've got an awesome heart!

[@freshwatertanks]

hi there. sorry i somehow missed your message. just want to say thank you! 😃

[@HubcioGrubcio]

They couldn't have better lives. Be happy for the moments you had with them :) You made them immortal with this wonderful footage. Exegi monumentum

[@freshwatertanks]

yes i'm happy. realized that when i was editing the video. it was nice keeping them. thank you! 😃

[@bettapalfish9057]

Sorry they did not live longer. It is hard to get a betta that is bred for longevity. Take a well needed rest. I had a 10 year rest and now I think this is my last betta. One thing that helped my bettas live longer was a good heater and air stone to keep the water more stable in small tanks. Will miss your betta videos.

[@freshwatertanks]

thank you for your kind words and sharing your tips! 😃 hopefully your last (maybe?) betta will have a long time with you! and i already do miss filming them...

[@aqmalfahmi9212]

Sorry for your losses. Swim in Peace Flame, Flary, Stucky, Junior, Luci and Dotty 😔. Perhaps in the future you can try betta breeding project. So that the legacy of the parents betta you care for can continue to live on with their babies ☺️ Regardless, awesome videos and looking forward for future uploads!! 😊

[@freshwatertanks]

thanks! well honestly i don‘t know if i would like to breed them. wouldn‘t know what to do with all the babies! 🤷‍♂️😃

[@1Devonpen]

Just found your videos, beautiful and inspirational thanks for sharing!

[@freshwatertanks]

thanks a lot! 😃

[@DebsInManchesterUK]

Aww sorry to hear they passed away it is sad i bought my betta Dec 2018 he still living he slowed down a lot now he just rests on his almond leaf most days But though it is hard to say i know he is a old guy now Thanks for the videos though i enjoyed watching

[@freshwatertanks]

hi debbie. mine also just rested most of the time on leaves or on the substrate once they reached the age of 2 years. but they still got super excited during feeding time. this never changes ha ha! ah and your betta has also already reached a nice age which is great.

[@melaniep.]

It's always sad when they die but the memories and things you learned are a positive part of the experience. My pineapple Betta died about 6 months ago from dropsy. Your tanks highly influenced how I setup my own tanks. I absolutely love the colors of the gravel mixed with the plants and wood. To me it was just so perfect for what I like. Your videos are breathtaking and inspiring! Take care 🌺

[@freshwatertanks]

oh no sorry for your pineapple ☹️ yes we keep the memories! i realized that when i was editing the video. it was nice keeping all of them. all of them were special to me. and i‘m so happy to read that you got some ideas for your setups! 😃✨

[@stinatabez5033]

Es war ein schönes Kapitel das sich nun schließt, ich freue mich aber auf deine kommenden Projekte. (Hast du schon mal mit dem Gedanken gespielt Bettas in der Wildform zu halten?) Ich denke immer mal wieder an die schöne und klare Gestaltung deiner Becken die mich sehr inspiriert. Danke für deine Videos!

[@freshwatertanks]

Danke vielmals! 😃 Ja war ein schönes Kapitel. Das mit der Wildform habe ich mir schon mal überlegt. Aber leider gibt es zu wenige in der Schweiz oder ich habe einfach noch niemanden gefunden der diese anbietet. Ich hatte jedoch mal ein Pärchen "betta imbellis" gesehen und fand die noch interessant. Aber ja ich weiss wirklich noch nicht was ich machen werde. Irgendwie bin ich momentan froh dass ich nur noch 3 Aquarien habe, da der Aufwand mit 9 Aquarien schon viel war. Mal sehen wie ich in ein paar Monaten darüber denke. Die Becken habe ich ja noch! 😃

[@monaangela4667]

Sorry for your losses. 💔 they were wonderful in beautiful tanks. 💗 Maybe you will start a new project soon, wish you all the best.

[@freshwatertanks]

thanks a lot. i will see what the future brings. i still have my other 3 tanks...

[@carloshaiguan4174]

Im so sorry to hear of your losses, but still i am impressed on how you care much about your fishes, its like they each had their own jungle wherever they are now im sure they didn't regret living in the homes you provided. You are one of those people that inspired me to keep bettas and i am still doing so. In behalf of your bettas i would say Thank you 😁

[@freshwatertanks]

hi there! 👋 that‘s really nice to read. thank you! i gave my best to properly take care for them. i hope they enjoyed it! 😄 and so good to read that you continue keeping betta fish. they are just great little pets!

[@carloshaiguan4174]

Yeah, i hope someday i can keep betta tanks like yours, hopefully in the near future. ❤❤❤

[@freshwatertanks]

i‘m sure you will! 💪

[@dianecliff2776]

So sorry for your losses I know how you feel,but thay all lived to a good age for them,I'm still thinking of getting another one the tank has been sat empty for 3 months now with just berite snail & rabbit snail,your videos are always inspiring & lovely to watch 😊❤👍

[@freshwatertanks]

thank you! 😃 i have a feeling that after 3 months i might be in the same situation as you… maybe you will see one day a special one that you will bring home with you…

Geçmiş olsun. Bu daha başlangıç. Her geçen bir şeyler öğreniyoruz çünkü.. #bettaforever

[@freshwatertanks]

teşekkür ederim! 😃

[@vornik24]

You can always get more bettas. I have some beautiful double tails that I raised myself. I would be willing to give you some depending where you live in the world. It would be nice to see them on your channel and I think it would be the perfect home for them.

[@freshwatertanks]

hi there! i know, that‘s why i‘m keeping the tanks. i just need a break for a moment. and so nice of you, thank you for your offer! i‘m sure they are awesome. but as i wrote i just need a little break to think about future tank plans. and i‘m from switzerland! 😃

[@freshwatertanks]

ok. thanks 😃

[@NorthStarVlogs]

Such a beautiful video. Goodbye little fish. Can you please share where to get the stands you used for the Dennerle Scapers Tanks? The measurements of the tank has been difficult for me to find a proper stand. All the 10 gallon fish tank stands at Petco and PetSmart are too small. Thanks!

[@freshwatertanks]

thanks! stands are from ikea. model is called BROR 😃

[@meggrotte4760]

You know I have to be honest in the last 3 years living in Taiwan I've probably lost at least 100 betas they're all male. First I was told I didn't need a filter so some of them died from disease then I set up a filter of course I cycle the tanks and then after that I still kept having fish die usually from swim bladder but they would also die from just sudden death Turns out taiwan's water sucks and it needs to be put into a plastic water dispenser let it sit for 2 days and then all the crud rises to the surface you skim the top of it and the water is ready to go I have not had any acidic water probably in the last 3 weeks the only betas that tend to do really well are short thin bettas I don't know why male female they can live one to three years Now I have to admit when I first started my gravel was colored but everything else was hardscape and Driftwood and live plants finally figured out how to keep water let us alive the only thing that can live well in my tanks it was anubius the reason I kept going was because I figured at least every beta I bought had a good home whether they lived 3 months or 6 months My females they all did very well lived two to three years. I've got three tanks two of them are now community tanks and they're doing great I was blessed to have three betas that get along great in their tanks with other fish. my point is don't give up you have such beautiful tanks and it's very easy to rearrange things in a different way. I changed my aquascaping at least once a month because I like having different looks with the little materials but I have I can tell you all my betas are in heaven. I didn't learn properly because sadly the staff are not trained well and because I can't speak Chinese fluently this is also a problem My own studying and looking at beta breeders and coffee breeders I figured out how to fix the water I say water is 90% of illness probably more I asked my sister to send me a type of pill that has seaweed and kelp in it because for some reason betas get constipated particularly males. If that doesn't do it then once a week my male betas will be getting a Epsom salt bath to detoxify their bodies I don't give them a lot of food I feed them once a day they get maybe two or three pellets and then I fast them on Sundays. I have really good pellets it's not cheap food it's high quality pellets I'm thinking of maybe giving them blood worms maybe this will help. sadly we don't have Frozen brine shrimp and Daphne if we did I'd give him that my point is keep going there's so many good betas that need a good home

[@freshwatertanks]

so sorry to read that but it's nice to read that you didn't give up and trying your best to give the little fishes the best care possible! 😃

[@itziarlarrauri4407]

Ooh, sorry for that. They were soo beautiful

[@freshwatertanks]

thank you! 🙏 but that‘s part of keeping bettas i guess. i‘m happy that two of them passed the 3 years mark…

[@atlas7892]

Always look forward to your videos, so inspiring and always so well presented. An unfortunate but inevitable aspect of fish keeping, but as others have said - they couldn’t have had a better environment and care. They really were stunning fish, easy to see why you fell in love with them.

[@freshwatertanks]

thank you much for your comment! really appreciated! 😃🙏

[@rossfishy]

I am sorry dude. They were all beautiful fish.

[@freshwatertanks]

thanks! 🙏 i knew that this would happen. but it was still not easy…

Try your hand at wild species and plakat fighter bettas, they might last longer for you

[@freshwatertanks]

i‘m still taking a break vom keeping bettas. bit do miss them to be honest!

[@kenjiro2676]

@@freshwatertanks they have better genetics since they are either hybrids or wild species that haven’t been inbred for traits. For fighter plakats, they are hybrids or line bred wild species to be strong and aggressive, they also need strong immune systems to heal after a fight. So even if there is some inbreeding, because they are being bred for a sport they are produced to be healthy first and then fitness.

interesting! thanks for explaining 😃

Rodrigo ist auch vor kurzem verstorben … ihn zu „ersetzen“ ist eben auch noch nicht vorstellbar. Sind halt Fische mit echter Persönlichkeit, oder?! Was planst Du mit dem tollen Aquarium Regal?

Tut mir leid um Rodrigo ☹️ Ja so einfach kann man sie nicht ersetzen. Wie du geschrieben hast: Jeder ist anders und alle mit viel Persönlichkeit. Das Regal und die Becken habe ich verräumt. Werde jetzt mal eine Pause einlegen und mir keine neuen Fische zulegen. Mal schauen 😃
