Little known fact but you can take your pet fish on planes which is why TSA didn't say anything. As long as they are in a clear container that won't leak and aren't invasive. He acts like he got them but he was actually just following the rules...

[@garbagegremlins4707]

Usually the airline themselves are the ones to disallow fish on the flight. Had a friend take fish through tsa fine but they had to hide the fish (in sealed bags) in their carry on when boarding because the airline they were on had a no live fish policy, you could take live crustaceans on though for some reason

[@BreakerInc]

Thanks for the info, I didn't know that o.o

[@MakaKamala]

Transporting live fish on a plane is allowed, you just have to tell TSA. There was no need to torture the poor beta by removing nearly all it's water. It could have been transported much more humanely in a normal breather bag from the LFS. A quick google search would have told him that. :( Anyway... QOTW: Eevee! I don't play the game anymore but I still love Eevee's. Second favorite Snorlax, so cuddly

@@FishForThought Hmm.... tough decision but I think it's a tie between Umbreon and Vaporeon. :)

[@AKAhoy]

That last one reminded me of the saltwater minnow I took home from the docks growing up. Lasted a whole year living in a jar, being fed brine shrimp and blood worms. We'd make frequent drives to the docks to get a bucket of fresh sea water for water changes. That little minnow lived for almost 2 whole years inside a 1 gallon jar in the kitchen window. We got so serious with it that we even bought the little guy an air stone to get more oxygen. This same monster of a kid (me) had multiple goldfish live over a decade and would steal tweezers to pull rocks out of their mouths in "mini surgery" mode to save them.

[@jaylynn8630]

TLDR: there are valid reasons to fly with a betta fish, and a water bottle isn't a totally crazy choice for a container! I used to take my betta fish back home with me for holidays when I lived in the dorms at college. They close up those dorms completely over longer breaks, so I couldn't pay someone to go take care of him. I just had one 5-10g tank at home and one 5-10g tank at school lol so the only thing I needed to bring was the fish himself. I also used a water bottle (one of the bigger reusable ones, though), because I felt it was better to have a nice sturdy container, and it wasn't any smaller a volume of water than he'd have been in in a bag. Plus, it was only 4-5 hours of travel total. In retrospect I don't think the water bottle was the best choice of container - I opened the water bottle lid whenever it was safe to do so to try and ensure he never lacked oxygen, but now I know that that probably increased the ammonia level and screwed with the pH - but you live and you learn.

[@starr_ship]

My lucky fish was a dojo loach that jumped from the tank and spent 3 days on the dry carpet butt breathing (most of it in hiding, I thought a cat got it), and I found it by stepping on it. It lived another 4 years and was still the friendliest fish in the tank.

[@FishForThought]

oh my

[@Fish-aquaticz]

I had a kuhli loach jump out snd a few hrs later he was dead

[@starr_ship]

@@Fish-aquaticz I don't believe Kuhlis have the same ability to breath through their butt. Dojos are notorious for doing crap like this and the most remarkable part of my story is probably that it survived me stepping on it. Didn't step hard, I was barefoot and felt it and stopped myself, but still.

[@mweatherby2968]

My mom worked for a tow company and they found a frozen fish bowl in one of the cars they were towing. The betta in there had no fins and was starving so they took it in and it lived like another five years.

[@FishForThought]

that's insane

[@TheQuietTyper]

He didn't comment on it, so maybe it's not as bad as I'm thinking, but isn't the water that comes out of the fountain chlorinated? It can also be chilled and Beta fish need warm water. That fish is probably the most terrified its ever been in its life.

[@p4tternss]

exactly what i was thinking! plus all of the other minerals inside of the pipes and spout of the fountain 🤢 also turbulence?? overall just a terrible idea

[@emmyashbaugh]

True about chlorine and I’m sure the temp change isn’t favorable, but betta actually do not need a heater if I’m not mistaken.

[@0FynnFish0]

Not every country chlorinates tap water. Most (or all?) of Europe definitely don't.

As a beginner fishkeeper, I just wanted to let you know that you have helped me out so much in fishkeeping and I watch your videos every monday! Because of you and a lot of research, I now have my first tank- a 20 gallon planted tank with guppies, mollies, and albino corydoras! I was also going to get a beta- do you think that a beta would live peacefully with the other fish I have? Anyway, thank you so much for everything!

[@LagoonMan]

From what I learned this past year so far, that really depends on either the betta’s or livebearer’s behavior. Either the betta is the apex predator and bullies every living thing, or the livebearers nip at its fins. If you really want, you could also add much more hiding spots.

[@Gianna-m6s]

My favorite pokemon is Bulbasaur! And I would sell my soul, body, body parts everything I own to see a regional variant of Bulbasaur that is part water.

Never did figure out what was living in there, but there sure isn't anything alive in it now.

Nerites & unwanted bladder snails - but they're eating the summer algae so who cares? & some rummynose tetras that were supposed to be rummynose rasboras. (Aquatic Arts screwed up 2 of my orders & didn't get me the 2nd set of guppies I wanted... Their packaging was first-rate though!) Now I have guppy babies & will keep a few of the best ones & the rest will go to feed the neighbor's pond fish (since I used their pond water to start off the bioload of all my tanks.
