Thank you!! Aspen Elizabeth

I would recommend getting a filter for your fish is you don't have one. It'll allow you to establish a nitrogen cycle (look this up) and overall will be better for your fish . I would also recommend getting a gravel vaccum which will allow you to do 50% water changes every 2-3 days :) rather than 100% which can potentially be stressful. Beautiful betta though!!

[@FilmByNaomi]

I actually am waiting for my sponge filter, some driftwood, and LED lights to arrive in the mail! Haha. Thank you for your helpful comment Mr. Purple.

[@allyb9648]

Beautiful tank! And he's gonna love his new and bigger home!! :)

[@BigCityBettas]

If I could make a few recommendations...100% water changes are too much for a tank this size. Try 50% to avoid shocking your fish. Always add conditioner before adding water because as soon as chlorinated water hits your tank the cycle can be killed. If you get a sponge filter don't rinse it in tap water, swish and squeeze in treated water (all decor and substrate as well). Also feces can easily get trapped in between those large pebbles, I'd personally get gravel or sand for ease of tank maintenance and water quality. Soaking pellets before feeding reduces the chance of bloat or constipation. Your plants might not do great because they need minerals and nutrients that the betta waste can't provide. Seachem root tabs are awesome as is H20 Plants Vital and Aquarium Co-ops Easy Green. Other than that awesome video and beautiful little koi betta!!!

Really peaceful video. Nice video .

[@amyk8488]

your betta looks very happy. nice move

[@ninav1466]

Love this video!

[@razinski821224]

Nice video! :) I may had seen this wrong but did you use hand to scoop her out? If you did I would advise to get a fine net in future. You might drop or tear her lovely scales. Just my 2 cents :)

[@anxiousaquatics5958]

Ammonia is more toxic at higher ph levels, so if you know your waters ph you can adjust the frequency of your water changes accordingly.

[@FilmByNaomi]

My pH is a little basic at around 8. I usually do a 100% water change every week. :)

[@waelomanvlogs6792]

Naomi Post the best thing to do is 25% per week, since all the beneficial bacteria will be gone at 100% change

[@BigCityBettas]

Wael Oman Vlogs erroneous as the beneficial bacteria doesn't reside in the water column. It lives on the surface of the aquarium and in the substrate.

[@kannaya9]

Where did you get your koi betta from

[@FilmByNaomi]

My local PetCo :)

[@Jordan-qz2yi]

Can u use sink water then add conditioner?cuase it has something bad for the fish

[@FilmByNaomi]

Yes! Conditioner removes chlorine, chloramines, and heavy metals, which can be harmful to your fish.

[@lifeoftheannie6355]

Just saying for two Beth's fish It's way better to keep them In a 10 gallon tank you should think of getting a bigger tank that would be way more appropriate for there size

[@horsiegirl28]

Actually, that isn't true. Some bettas love the extra space, but many get very stressed out with it. A 2.5 gal is perfect, and there is no use in upgrading now if she just got this tank!

[@daisygonzalez7854]

Do you know where I can get a tank bigger than 10 gallons for a good price?

[@FilmByNaomi]

PetCo has semi-annual (I believe) "Dollar-Per-Gallon" sales. You could get a 20 gallon tank for $20 or a 40 gallon tank for $40.

[@amyk8488]

Daiz4 Dayz pet supplies plus does the dollar per gallon sale once a year as well

[@DolphincutieWorld]

Great video! Your koi betta is very pretty. I have bettas too you should check them out.

[@TimmyME]

Tank is too small...

[@cmharper5049]

swees the bird a min is a 5 :)

[@bribri6066]

Cmharper 50 That’s false, the minimum size for a betta is a 2.5 gallon. Please do your research before you say something to someone.

[@cmharper5049]

Bri Bri no you do your research betas live in Thailand and have a territory in large bodies of water that is 1 yard by 1 yard and are very active and like to search for food and guard there turf if you dont give them a space of a five or more gallon they are destined to have depression look it up

[@bribri6066]

Cmharper 50 i was just saying the minimum amount would be 2.5 gallons. Yes it’s better to have a 5 gallon and plus but they will do just fine in a 2.5😂

[@czarinaserrano956]
