THE LIFE OF A BETTA FISH blowing bubbles, fighting, and breeding

A stunning look at how betta fish live, breed and raise their young. Watch the male betta build a bubble nest, and mate with a female betta. Learn why they blow bubbles, and see the female betta lay the eggs in the breeding tank. Watch the male gather the eggs and bring them up to the bubble nest. Watch the male take care of the eggs, and the baby bettas. Learn why they can survive in a tiny bowl of water, and what size fish tank they really need. There are also some important tips about the betta fish tank setup. Also learn about the history of fighting bettas (Siamese fighting fish). Plus, there's a surprise ending.

[@jagbombs4life]

I loved the two I just Watched

[@PaulsFishroom]

I’ve bred many many bettas over the years and Velvet is a common occurrence. I found an effect treatment using Sealife Cuprazin. This medication is also copper based and normally used for marine aquaria. For freshwater adult fish use half the marine dose and for fry use one drop for every 4 UK gallons. This information isn’t general knowledge as most hobbyists can’t accurately calculate the volume of their aquaria and there is very little safety margin when using this medication in freshwater tanks. Terrific video as usual Dave 🤓👍

[@TheDave333]

Thanks for watching Paul and sharing your many years of experience. I guess the Cuprazin is best used in a precisely measured volume of water / bare tank, which should be simple enough. Sounds like powerful stuff. Thanks for the tip.

[@purpleworm4725]

I had similar situation to yours where treatment wasn't working. My fish all had a disease that caused them to itch and periodically (once in a few months) one would develop ulcers, start piping at the surface, and die slowly. I think I literally tried everything. I tried all types of general meds, parasite meds, antibiotics, salt. I even attempted to put fish in new, clean environment and dip them in formaldehyde before the transfer. I even brought one of my fish for microbiological testing at a lab. Unfortunately they couldn't find the causative agent with the methods they used. I was told it is either virus, something in their environment or I didn't catch a good sample fish. At the end I just gave up on trying to treat them and decided to help them live as long and happy as possible. As a result third of my fish lived to their normal life expectancy. And it was all in all enjoyable experience having them.

[@TheDave333]

Hi, and thanks for sharing your experience with me. Even with all of the ups and downs, the lost lives, and the heartaches, this is still a truly rewarding hobby. Do you still have tanks? You haven't put out a video in a while. . .

[@moonpleco5083]

Amazing view into bettas life. So close catched footage of egg laying and fry development. Velvet parasite may enter the aquarium with live food. Adults are more resist to invasion. If copper is not sufficient, please go to veterinarian who cures fish too. They can prescribe medication not available in stores. Give betta fry a chance !

10:49 😂 Not only in French; but also in Spanish I have heard it to refer to what the French also refer to. Very sad that the babies got sick with those parasites 😓 In this case; where did these parasites come from? 🤔

[@TheDave333]

I'm thinking the parasites came from the female betta. Some adult fish have a built in immunity to these things, and don't actually get ill, but they can still carry the bug. 😓

[@SalamanderFangskin]

@@TheDave333 I understand. I see you added salt along with the medication. Just before watching your video; I watched The Fish Dr. [ from Australia] latest video "Curing koi pond with excess mucus foam caused by skin parasites." And he says that you add salt at the end of the complete treatment because when you add salt the fish form a mucous coating that if they have a parasite they also end up protecting it.

[@TheDave333]

I see, that makes sense to use the salt at the end. Thanks so much for sharing that with me.

[@TheDave333]

Thanks!

[@twotornfins]

I generally try to let the fish fight the parasite or disease on their own. My assumption is that the parents already have or had (and likely passed it onto the babies) the parasite, and have immune systems robust enough to survive the attack. I also assume this happens more often than we know about in commercial breeder settings, so I allow the babies a chance to fight off the parasite, disease, etc and assume that any survivors will grow up to have strong immune systems.

[@TheDave333]

Thanks for watching the video. That's a very good way of approaching the problem. The best defense is strong immune system.

[@sandrayala]

Amazing footage, as always. And very educational, as always. I agree en one of the comments I read, this account should have thousands more followers, not those misleading accounts on TikTok. Having said that… I have struggled with tens of sick bettas, in most cases they died, but a few I could manage to save, so my advice is to fight (treat them) till the end. I also suggest changing treatments after a while with no results, some brands have very effective meds, but when they don’t won’t, better to switch. I just got a book by Hector Gutiérrez, about fish deseases. It’s by far the best guide on treatment, even if you don’t speak Spanish, it’s worth buying it and getting someone to translate (you’ll need a microscope too). Great luck with whatever you decide! 🙌🏼

[@TheDave333]

Thanks for for watching the video and leaving such helpful comments. I won't give up, and I will be switching treatments. I also like to give the fish rest periods to recover from the stress of the medication, before I start another round of treatment. Thanks for the book recommendation. I've seen Hector's posts on his face book page. I really need to learn Spanish! And get a microscope. . . I've been wanting one for years. 😊

I just got my first batch of krib fry and this is scaring me! I'll take a really close look at them in the morning when the lights come on. Glad others in the comments seem to have some medication suggestions, hope something can work!

[@TheDave333]

Congratulations on the Krib fry! They're such awesome fish / parents. Don't let the velvet thing scare you. . . The best way to avoid introducing parasites is to avoid adding new plants, and or, fish to the tank. Every time you add something to the tank you run the risk of introducing something nasty. Stability will also help the immune system of the fish. To help set your mind at ease, I suggest buying a magnifying glass. I have one in my fish room and I use it a lot. It comes in handy for inspecting small worms and all of the little bugs that turn up in the tank. I use mine to look at snails, fish, eggs, bugs, hydra, etc. I have a link to a great magnifying lens in the video description section. And finally, have you seen my video on the Kribensis? It's one of my older ones where I used text rather than narration, but it's still a great video. 😊 kzbin.info/www/bejne/b4OpkHhjo95mmtk

[@Kate-cb4rj]

@@TheDave333 Absolutely love the krib video, though I do like having the audio component in recent videos (your voice is very soothing). This is my pairs first successful spawn and the female is herding babies around the tank as she speak. She did completely rip the tail off of the male though. He's currently in a breeder box for his safety, so shes a single mother. I'll try keeping them together for the next spawn but I think the male would have been killed if he stayed there with her! She is doing such a good job taking care of the babies though that I forgive her for nearly killing the male.

[@TheDave333]

Kribs are very, very, serious about their parenting. I'm guessing that your female krib probably saw, or thought she saw, the male eat one of her babies. So, she turned on him. For some reason she doesn't trust him near the babies. I'm assuming your don't have another tank for the injured male? A larger low stress environment will help make sure he recovers soon. A breeder box under bright light without any place for the male to hide is very stressful and may slow his recovery. . . She may not let him near the babies again. Nonetheless, enjoy watching the mother and her fry. They're such smart fish. It's fun to watch them parent. 😊

[@Kate-cb4rj]

@@TheDave333 he’s currently in a heavily planted 15 gallon. He was in the breeder box for only couple days and I had a cave in there with him. I thought he might recover fast (I’ve seen their fin nips grow back in a day) but the female did some serious damage. His fin has been growing back though and he seems very happy in his own tank.

[@vikkirountoit497]

Wow tough ending on this one. Beautiful video, and so great that you were able to spot the issue with macro. What would I do? Honestly I would find and attempt a different treatment if available. And treatment or not, if not eradicated, I would make the hard decision to put them to sleep. My fear is that a drug resistant parasite like that can too easily be unintentionally transferred to other tanks and fish and if you ever share fish with others it can then be transferred to other fish rooms and unknowingly spread from there. Am I willing to be responsible for that outcome? I am not. Am I willing to put my fish to sleep to avoid it? Yes. Have I done so? Yes. Was it a hard decision? Yes. What goes through my mind during the process? I will not let this particular strain of parasite survive to take the lives of any other fish. Yes, tough ending to this video -maybe you will pin a comment to the top to share what happens to the fish? And again, you have put out such a stunning view of the world of fish - your male betta is a really beautiful!

[@TheDave333]

I suggest swapping those out for arrows, or a moving spotlight accompanied by darkening the rest of the screen (preferable! it'd look so good with such high definition and quality!). If you decide on using an image overlay, I suggest playing around with the colors as well, your tank looks amazing and the still/jerkiness of the small png doesn't match.

Do some research on using H2O2 for velvet. Probably way too harsh for fry - though you could possibly do repeated very diluted doses? But seems to work well for adults and is how the marine guys do it with a similar disease.

[@everythingisprobability6692]

So do you feed the male beta fish form the time of laying eggs to the time the fris are 3 days old or dose the male beta dosen't eat in this period of time

[@TheDave333]

I don't usually feed the male after they spawn, and some males won't even eat when they have eggs/fry. If I do decide to feed, I don't use floating foods because they might contaminate the bubble nest / eggs. I prefer to feed the male live foods like black worms because they sink to the bottom, they won't die, and they won't cause water quality issues. If I don't have black worms, any good sinking food given in moderation will work. Avoid floating foods. . .

[@moonpleco5083]

Can female betta to be keep alone ? I have found information that's highly not recommended because she can't lay eggs without male and surely would die due egg bound. Is it true or she doesn't produce eggs if male is not present? I'm thinking about keeping one betta, I haven't any experience with this fish. Another question is, is it better for betta to eat only live food ? There's some opinions that in reality they don't digest betta pellets.

[@TheDave333]

I have kept female killifish alone for years without any trouble. If a single female does produce eggs, she will either release them into the water unfertilized or reabsorb them back into her body. However, female bettas typically only begin to produce eggs when specific hormones are released into the water by male bettas. So, I don't believe that a female betta that's kept alone will become impacted by her own eggs. However, an improper diet could cause a female to have digestive problems that could lead to bloating and sickness. So, a high quality diet is important. A variety of live foods would be great, but difficult to provide all year long, especially in the winter. Mosquito larva would be an ideal live food for them. . . The trouble many people have is that they feed their bettas too much food, and then they have trouble digesting it. In the wild, food is rare, so naturally they don't eat as much as we feed them in an aquarium. So, feed them a small amount of food each day, and have one day every week where they get nothing at all. This allows their digestive system to clear out all of the food before they eat again. (Intermittent fasting) High quality pellets are fine to use as the main part of their diet. Look at the ingredients on the label and avoid foods that contain things that fish don't eat in the wild like soy beans, corn gluten meal, and wheat flour. Bettas are wonderful fish, and treated properly you should have little trouble. Bets of luck my friend. Ich wünsche Ihnen alles Gute

[@moonpleco5083]

​@@TheDave333 Thank you very much for detailed information. I didn't know that female betta develops eggs only in presence of male hormone. Best if fish doesn't produce eggs, resorbing not always goes without trouble. All depends on species - female ancistrus may lay eggs in any corner but she doesn't want , she turn on her psychological barrier for not to do it . If betta already have eggs the point is that this species female need male assistance to release them out. Egg bound is common problem in reptiles too, however not every female struggles with it. When it occurs in majority of cases only instant surgery may save unlucky female. At least guppies are free from such problems. Considering food, great that betta can be feed with good quality food. Yes, live food it's not always available but then frozen food can be given all year. Some individual fish like to eat more , l had very wise lady pleco who unfortunately leave behind her brain when it came to eating.... Thank you for German wishes too, perhaps it's time for me to learn some language when time allows. Have a beautiful day!

[@TheDave333]

Yes, egg bound females can be a problem, and too much food can contribute to that problem as well. I had a female angelfish that would lay eggs even though there was no male in the tank, but she never had any trouble. Each fish as its own problems. Have a beautiful day.

This really upsets me now you want to kill them. Who do you think you are it’s bad enough the stores do what they do and you purposely breed them then want to kill them it’s not there fault they didn’t ask to be here like any of us. Shame on you.

I didn't say I wanted to kill them. I was asking for other people's opinion on what I should do. . . I always treat my fish with the greatest of care and compassion. There's no shame in my game.
