Premium Imported Betta Unboxing! And the Sickness That Sneaked into my Fish Room Afterwards.

[@martiannova6231]

SimplyBetta seems like the sweetest person ever but I also get the vibe she’s always a thin thread away from absolutely snapping

Hah!! Screenshotted and sent this to my hubby

[@coffeebytheriver7494]

well, this is my first time watching her video.. and i couldn't agree more with you...

[@fish4life253]

This made me laugh so hard 🤣

[@patshhi4620]

Come on guys. She needs encouragement. This is my first time viewing her videos so I don’t have any viewing history. Based on that I would say I think she should have waited until after the holidays to get the bettas. We all live and learn. Taylor, I’m sorry you lost so many fish. They really were beautiful. Give yourself a breather and enjoy that baby of yours. He will be a teenager before you know it.

[@emsmiths2180]

Aren’t we all a thin thread away? 🤣

[@mamagirl9143]

How do people think fish get to their local fish stores? They are shipped. It's just part of the hobby.

[@A1AAdventures]

It has to be done. Properly is the most important part.

[@L3adb3lly]

If you buy direct from a breeder and it's shipped, you're less likely to get DOA's than what stores get from their massive shipments from the drop shipper / wholesaler. I really wish people paid more attention to what happens before they buy stuff - not just animals, but food, and everything else too.

[@SimplyBetta]

I get a lot of rage in the comment section when I ship fish, ugh

[@A1AAdventures]

Im sure you execute the process Stellar. Reptiles and all Animals endure the same procedures, however its up to the shipper to properly do so.

[@A1AAdventures]

Carrier Services can make a difference as well. Depends on the handler and if inclimate conditions take place too. Hold us time with shipping (heat packs/ cold packs).

[@GirlTalksFish]

I’m so sorry to hear about the fish plague you had to deal with! I totally get the same way when my aquariums aren’t doing well. Chin up and hope things turn around for you soon.

[@sittingstill3578]

I feel you. I lost several of my fish over the last couple months too. One morning I woke to two beyond the point of no return and just had to grieve them in the dark over the weekend. All to coincide with a bunch of other losses in other areas of my life. Change is usually for the better but it doesn’t help with today. Looking forward to everything evening out.

[@squigglesalamode3276]

I’m honestly super curious where she buys her bettas from, I want to make a betta sorority, but I have no clue who is a reputable/trusted seller.

[@Asp47999]

Bettass or queenbettas on eBay I recommend. Looks like it may be the same seller she got hers from. The fish will have importing and extra shipping costs and will go through a middle man in the US. This is standard for importing fish. I pay around $80 for 2 including import cost.

[@gracecooper6295]

Space City Fish has a very nice selection of very nice bettas

[@kaylacrouse7094]

Are you Canada or USA? Space city is great (USA Texas) and what you see is what you get. Also, Rena's fish store does both and Puerto Rico. However, because of the riots, no longer shipping to United States, for now. And if Canada, Bettas Bettas has been good to me.

[@kaylacrouse7094]

Also, I prefer those sites because they ship directly to my door. Typically I avoid eBay because if you don't have an import license for livestock, they have to ship to your accepted transporter or whatever, and then you pay to get it. So it's expensive and stressful on the fish.

[@bullybetta1221]

One of the top breeders here uses a solution of copper sulphate that he uses when he gets new fish in or when one starts to look poorly. It works amazingly, and he gave me some after I had issues with velvet going thru my betta, and I lost a lot with that.

[@SimplyBetta]

Aww thank you

[@DanTheFireman]

About ten years ago I paid top dollar and imported several crazy multicolor bettas after a thirty year hiatus from keeping fish. It was unbelievable what the Asian breeders had come up with. By the third or fourth month I was left with a bunch of blue bettas... didn't see that coming. Ohh, one more thing - You are the unicorn, I've watched so many people from novices to "gurus" showing off their BAYTAS (Betas). It's nice to see that you get the deal with the two Ts in BETTA, for me it adds a lot of credibility.

[@narshifakamal6352]

Hi Taylor! Amazing to see how someone living very far away from our region is unboxing mail-delivered betta fishes...just like we do here! 😁 And yeah..for anyone else wondering, that's how our reputable betta breeders do the betta packing for mail-delivery. Only just minus the polystyrene box and substituted with sturdy carton box, because well, for us in the same region/country as the breeders it's just a few day trips with the courier service. For the bi-color bettas, we in Malaysia is referring to that type/line of color as "Blue Rim" and the 'cleaner' the body is, as well as the thicker/well balanced the blue banding at all the fins, the more pricey it would be. 'Clean' here means the body has no marble pattern or dots at all. All white and bright and clear. If the breeder selling you the Blue Rims already established the genetic line of his bettas, yes it would not turn into all blue and will maintain the color pattern. If you have the opportunity, please try to purchase from Malaysia breeders too 😉 I know a few reputable breeders here and some of them have been breeding bettas for about 10 years (and still going on). Nice Gold Dumbos, Black Samurai, Nemo, Red Koi Galaxy (?) and Yellow base Koi Galaxy(?) HM 😍😍😍 All these are quite expensive even in our region and even from unstable breeders. I am wondering whether you have any Pikachu betta? Sorry for this "article" 😂

[@Bugaboothesinner]

When I first started getting bettas and my green fish turned bright blue , I was confused, only to find out their color changes

[@elon_mosque123]

it's called the mutation process Some breeders here have betta fish with unique genetics, the fish can mutate even at a relatively old age . but the good one is the fish that have a strong color and not mutate at the age of 5 months up

I just lost 5 out of 6 young plecos that I bought a couple of weeks ago. Looking back, there were signs that the fish weren't healthy before I realized there was a problem and started medication. I thought maybe I could have saved them. After 40 years of keeping and breeding fish I still make mistakes, and still come down really hard on myself. In reality, these fish probably came in diseased, and there may not have been anything I could do. I'm rambling but my point is don't get disheartened. Hang in there, and make sure to keep YOURSELF healthy through the stressful times! :)

Keep up the battle👍 a few fish channels I watch are having problems with mysterious illnesses also. Some of them have figured out their City municipal Waterworks did a flush or added extra chlorine to their water without their knowledge.

[@ReneesZooTube]

I had this happen to me years ago. Did a water change and watched all my guppies start freaking and struggling and watched my favorite male die right before my eyes. Through research and some guesswork I figured out that my town had changed to RO water with chloramines. Totally changed the pH of the water and my water conditioner wasn't equipped to handle the chloramines. I switched water conditioners and had to add in other stuff to harden the now soft water. Then my fish started to get better. So now I'm super careful not to do water changes if there's been a big storm either, because that's when towns will add extra chemicals to the water supply.

Sounds like you’ve been through it. :/ you need an assistant. Lol. I’ll help, but you guys have to move here, I’m not driving all the way over there. 😂. Sorry you had some problems. Maybe go back to the basics, check your water and see if your tapwater parameters have changed maybe it needs to be filtered now or they added chemicals or did something at your water plant. I know when I moved here and started setting things up I tested all the basics and everything seemed fine and three weeks later everything died on me so I went and got every test I could and found out my GHNKH were almost nonexistent and it started with a few guppies but they like hard water and apparently they need it not just like it so I started mixing my own and got more and they’re all great now. I still test my water every month or so to see if it changes, especially in small towns that have reservoirs and do a lot of chemical treating to water and it can change a lot quickly. :/ Sorry you had some problems, hopefully you get some more great fish and get back on track. :/

[@SimplyBetta]

Hi Shane! Thanks, I def. was careful about water parameters. What I ended up doing was tightening up on "security" lol, I made sure to sterilize all my equipment, remove sick fish to a different area, and not cross-contaminate equipment. All my remaining fish seem great, though I have 2 fish who are still in "recovery" mode. Ok you can be my assistant, I'll pack my things

Just happened upon your videos as I am hoping to restart my betta hobby! I am so happy I found your videos! They are super helpful and informative! I can't wait to try out my second planted tank!

Also hoping to snag a male from any of your future spawns! So sorry to hear about the illness, I'm sure things will get better!

My double tail marble butterfly was blue white and is blue with red and black fins , got him a year ago today, crazy to see them change

[@SimplyBetta]

The change can be so drastic!

You are an enjoyable person to listen to :) . Thanks for sharing and being transparent in your experiences with betta husbandry! I will be sure to watch your stuff as I find it informative and fun. Cheers from Canada!

Well thank you, I appreciate it! I have plenty more vids coming up about dumb mistakes and fixing things I've ruined, lol. Curse being fallible.
