I used my net to bag some fish from Little Neck Bay in Queens NY. within a span of 30 minutes of arriving home, half the batch had died. My plan was to. assimilate them into my fresh water goldfish tank. To my surprise, they did quite well. They were much smaller than the 3 inch goldfish. However, this breed proved to be more evasive. I believe had the numbers been increased, they would have survived.

For those who are concerned about feeling sad when a fish is sick or dies - don't. We grieve every fish we lose in the same way we grieve our other pets. A fish is a living creature, and every life is unique and important - no matter how small. xx 🥰

[@emmanicholas2720]

So important. People who laugh at you or think it's silly have no idea how amazing these little fish are.

Thank you for your help and advice. My beta is 3 1/2 years old. She is acting lethargic and laying on her side a lot. She has none of the symptoms mentioned. I think its just old age.:( My family thinks I’m overly concerned about a fish. You made me feel like loving a pet fish is perfectly normal. :) If everyone was as kind hearted as you, the world would be a much better place.

I must recommend the salt and your fish article that you wrote for the coop. I read it a few months ago and I have to say I think it was one of the most helpful articles on salt that I read.

I'm sorry to hear about Soundwave, too. I've been watching him on other videos and thought he was still alive. I found this one because my Jake suddenly is listless at the bottom of the tank. He's been very active all week because I introduced some new rasboras. But they've all settled in well together, and the newbies were quarantined and medicated by both my lfs and here at home, so I don't think they brought in anything. Nevertheless, I just pulled Jake out in to a salted quarantine tank with meds, so hopefully he'll recover. He had enough in him to put up a good chase! He's 2.5 years old and I'm hoping he has a couple more years in him.

[@Doingood2]

Your blue betta looks just like my betta before he got fin rot. :( I was a begginer and caught it very late. He has been living a year with this disease but I tried maracyn, ich x and salt. Ever since the salt he almost lost is whole fin and is really lazy and hasnt eaten much. He has been hiding the WHOLE day and im really worried about him. I hope he gets better It also seems that every time I medicate him he gets worse.

Rip in the other tank then I did the same again took em back in there places then I see something rio had a bacteria eating his tail pain rot and then the next day he got even worse and his blue faded away into brown then the exit day DEATH I was sad and very scared just in case my other fish got sick but lucky no I have 2 bettas now one since Christmas last year and one in January this year

[@larsland]

I just lost my two first bettas two weeks apart. I was new to fishkeeping but had been researching bettas for about two years. I got them from a big box grocery store on a whim because they were in really, really poor condition. I didn’t expect them to live through the weekend but put both in 5.5 gal tanks and kept them as healthy as I could. I decided to give one a bigger home and set up a 10 gal. It was such a stupid move. It put him in too much stress and I lost him the next day. Two weeks later, to the day, the other betta died in rapid decline. They’d only been with me six months, but I’m fairly certain they were about a year old when I got them. I’ve been a pet person my whole life and usually am very good with losing pets but I am devastated. I keep playing over my mistakes. I have new guy we got after the first fish died (don’t worry, I made sure the tank was healthy and safe for him) but I’m waiting before getting a second. Has anyone else really struggled losing bettas? I feel heartbroken.

[@shaydanielle830]

Yes I’m freaking out tbh I noticed fin rot on my betta fish and I’m getting the medicine in tomorrow and just noticed he’s at the bottom of the tank and breathing heavily. Idk what to do. I’m scared he’s gonna pass and I’m gonna lose all my fish in the tank.

I can feel how heavy and sad that was to give him such a wonderful life and comfortable death. My son’s betta, Cloudy, by default became my betta. He lived his last years in my planted 20g community tank. He was a joy to see how docile a betta can be and live with school fish and shrimp and snails. I euthanized him as well when he could no longer swim upright and lost his ability to eat which was his greatest joy haha. Bettas a wonderful puppy fish who enrich our lives more than we do theirs.

I feel your pain. My Betta just died from old age. It started with him being unable to see his food properly and he was missing it when lunging for it. After that his appetite started to fade and it eventually stopped; he lay on the bottom of the tank for days, moving a tiny bit every now and again, and then he just… stopped. RIP Sunny. Daddy loves you.

Hey your Betta had bubble eye issue. It could have been treated. I don't think he died because of age. Bubble eye is a common disease. I breed Betta and this is something I deal regularly.

Aint that the truth. Im so upset my Betty Blue passed today. I've had her for a month and she was super chill. I first had her in a 1 gal bowl and she had been perfectly fine there. Just last week i bought a 5 gal and some guppies and put her in there. Both female guppies died a day apart starting the next day. Then i noticed my betty blue had what i believed to be columnaris which i noticed around her mouth. I been up until 4am trying to order things off petsmart online and somehow i cant check out. Today i was going to go to the store but woke up super late and when i checked on Blue she already passed. Im so pissed. Im grateful my other betta female Pearl who had been in the same tank is still thriving well. Im not sure if this happened because i moved her from one tank by herself to a bigger tank with mates. Im aware bettas fight, kill or attack each other but my females were actually doing well with each other. I would watch them all day and night even when the lights were out and they were cool. Now Betty Blue who passed today did attempt to attack the two guppies i had in there. One i think was a premie and actually already dying before i even got home. The other passed out of nowhere the next day. Then Betty showed signs of an infection and died today before i can get her some type of treatment. Im hurt she was so beautiful and chill. She didnt deserve this. And im even more upset because i cant help but to think that there is something i did wrong to cause her death.

Great information for sure. What I especially like about the video is that you're positive & upbeat, even while talking about a tough topic. 📺👍😎

I left on a 4 day vacation and i asked my mom if she could feed him. I explained to her how to do it and when i came back the aquarium was full of fish food and i noticed that he wasnt doing to well :(

Too*

[@lemonlizard1]

i'm really sorry to hear that. I would highly recommend performing a water change since the issue is likely ammonia poisoning from all of that excess uneaten food

I want to get a betta fish but I feel like I will only mess up 😔 done my research and watch your videos about betta fish but I just don’t have the confidence to take care of one. Sorry about your betta btw xx

Berra fish are very easy to take care of! I had a fish for a very long time and he never got sick. You should go ahead and do it! It doesn’t take much to learn the ropes. You will do amazing! 😊

Good day, my own observation about betta fish water condition was not to weekly water change, if I do so, they get sick (water shocked) and die after a few days . My betta in a cup, I only change 5%-10% once a week. I just removed their waste everyday or every other day (if there's any) and return back the excess water. My male betta in a 1 gal tank, I do water change (20-25%) once a month... and still doing fine?

I haven't owned a fish since I was probably 6. Now in my 30s I got a blue crown tail betta. I figure if I have kept my German shepherd alive for 9 years I can keep a fish alive. I still gotta watch these videos since I thought I was overfeeding Sonic lol the name I chose for my betta. But I'm glad these videos are a thing since I'm still a new fish owner. But he or she seems happy and swims around. Water temperatures was a concern the first night I let it go without a heater and it got to 70 degree probably since I keep my ac set to 69. But since it's still alive a week later.

i need to watch all of her vids before getting my betta

[@Frazcaideadlol__]

I have a question. My fish looks like it got hurt from the back. And first he was floating up but now he’s floating down. But he looks fine. However I tried to feed him and he can’t swim up. Should I try to manually feed him like, with twirlers or something?

Sorry to hear about soundwave it brought tears to my eyes but he had a great life and It made me laugh when you said he thought his tail was yummy 😋 love your videos and again sorry about soundwave
