Tiny Pale Fish Completely Changes Color | The Dodo

[@SceneArtisan]

If Adriana wrote a book on caring for betta fish, it'd be a massive hit, I'm sure! 🐠🐠🐟🐟

[@ms.opinion8470]

Id buy it for sure!

[@SceneArtisan]

@@ms.opinion8470 Maybe a new law could be introduced,.. to own a pet (of/from any source) you need to prove you understand how to look after it and, if sold from a pet shop (as abhorrent selling animals is, but that's a different story) then they should come with the best literature there is to help owners understand the immediate and long-term needs of the animal it is they're purchasing. Adriana's book should come with all sales of betta fish.

[@Bat_Boy]

I don't care for putting any any animal in too small a space for it's size, or any birds in a cage. It just makes me sad. This makes me think of getting a beta fish... she did a great job. Great pet, living in style.

[@3_3645]

I tried to have beta, my house being cooler in the winter was a problem even with a tank heater and for one fish I couldn't keep the water balanced. I did enjoy watching the beta and felt horrible when he died. Even a little fish entered my heart

[@AyumieAyumia-ld7is]

Well betta live live in small puddle/pool of water in tropical rain forest that's why their gill evolve not to only breath on water but also could take oxygen from air as well that's why Bettas can survive on small glass of water without bubble aerator, while other fish can't . But it can be stressful for betta to live in small glass/cup of water for a while. To make them stress free 5 gallon aquarium is enough to mimic small puddle of water in tropical rainforest, also little bit of tanin released from submerged dead leaf/wood will help because it will mimic their natural black water in the tropical rainforest.

[@Practice_Kindness-1st]

Thank you for rescuing Stevie from a certain demise. It sickens me how all these pet stores ignore the wellbeing of these bettas. It's so wrong. Stevie is looking happy and healthy!

[@TedParkman]

Agreed, I really don't think they should harvest these bettas because people don't know anything about them,let alone how to care for them. Walmart got people angree over the way they cared for their fish and they were forced to get rid of them. Fish in a tiny cup is just wrong period!

[@3_3645]

Who knows where the fish come from? Anyone?

[@TedParkman]

I'm pretty sure it's somewhere in Asia. They live in rice patty's and there's literally millions, all different colors. Keep them there and let them live!

[@bentlexgaming672]

The wild ones live in water under the forest leaves of Thailand

[@3_3645]

Would like to see them in their natural habitat, if they are considered fighting fish how do they do in the wild, now I'm even more curious 🤔

[@Evil_Spotify_Metal_and_Rock]

Poor bettas. They can survive in a small bowl, but will be miserable, and have a short life. I have a friend who kept hers in a proper tank like this one. That little guy lived a very long life, and was happy well into his senior years

[@larche753951]

Fish willingly staying within you're palm is a sign of absolute trust, this is so adorable.

[@revolutionday1]

No. No it's not. It's actually dumb as hell.

[@elishh8173]

Almost all pet stores don't take care of their animals. The ones that are sick or not perfect, they just leave them in the back. Fishes are so kind and friendly. We should treat them well. They are intelligent and they have souls.

[@NotTheSharpestKnife-mh]

She doesn't just love them. She loves taking good care of them. It is a sign of a good person.

[@fubey8x]

isn't that was love is?

[@goosefarm3602]

this girl is an angel...thank you for saving these precious fish

[@janetmarshall7171]

This Pale Betta Fish, Stevie(DEFINITELY A WONDER)!! Is the cutest little thing!! His color change is just AWESOME!! This kind-hearted woman saved him and he was SO HAPPY, His turned ANOTHER COLOR!! Just Amazing!!

[@IrieAllDay88]

She loves them so much, because she recognized their souls. Most people see them as decoration and don't even think of them as sentient beings.

[@CrisDesii]

We still are SO ignorant about animals! They are not things to be sold but important lives as ours! 💝

[@zacr4664]

Betta are amazing, they are so beautiful. And then once they are healthy and happy they are just stunning. My brother does a betta "rescue program" at his school that is very similar to this. The kids can't believe what a difference it makes and it really helps them learn why things need love and care. Thank you for saving them.

[@suzannecarter445]

It must be so nice seeing them change like flowers blossoming. Just shows loving care even works with tiny fish. I don't think I want to be a pescatarian anymore.

[@LittleLulubee]

🙏❤️🐠🐟

[@dianaceliz3096]

Adriana's an angel on earth to betta fishes 🙏🏻🌟🌷💚💛💖🧡

[@BenjamintheTortoise]

Sweet Stevie!! 🥰 So glad you rescued this beautiful spirit! Much love 💖✨😊

[@sharonlefebure3892]

I’m in awe of the colour changes these bettas have gone through. They are absolutely stunning. You do wonderful work.

[@bkm2797]

Adrianna, you have become Stevie 's favorite hooman with all the love and attention you provide. All your Betas are beautiful, may you have lots of touching moments with these little sentient beings.👍❤️

[@jill-q8p]

❤I had tears. We are completely connected to all.

Thank you 🩵💚🩵💚🩵💚🩵💚🩵🍀🍀🍀🍀🙏🏻

[@JazzyGaming]

I have 3 bettas myself and i love that they each have their own personalities. They are fun little fish!

[@debbyangenni4616]

Thank you so much for your love and compassion for these BEAUTIFUL fish and and helping them to thrive. 🥰😊

[@LightDancerOracle]

Thank you so much for rescuing Stevie and giving all of your fish babies a loving, interesting, and stimulating home where they can thrive. I, also, think that the love you give them helps them thrive. They truly look happy! I think you have a lot of knowledge to share! Blessings to you, Stevie, and all of your fish babies. 🐟 😊💖🙏

They all got their love color back. YOU can be really tiny and still exude love....AZ much as YOU love them...they are showing you how much YOU are LOVED...in color 💜🩵💙💚💛🧡🩷

[@JemLeavitt]

Poor fish 😢 Thank you for taking care of him. ❤

[@elishh8173]

Thank you for saving these innocent souls!!

[@mochawitch]

SO beautiful 😍😍😍😍 They look like swimming flowers💕💕💕💕

[@themacker894]

She has some real skill! The water looks perfect and the fish are thriving. Nice job. Love the idea of giving the fish different environments.

[@Alekkssandra]

Betta fish are incredibly smart and inquisitive fish. I have 7 females in a tank together and they are so friendly and how they interact with each other is so fun to watch. Betta's are my favorite small fish in the aquarium hobby. They are so underrated.

[@brendanaysmith9358]

Wow!! You Definitely brought the love and color out of Stevie❤😊Just Beautiful 😍

[@brigittej5158]

Thankyou for giving them a beautiful home

[@tamaraaba5018]

Love this story. Thank you for rescuing all those beautiful fish. At one point my husband and I cared for 23 Betta. Loved them all and they all had names too. 💙

[@kajanaland25]

What a beautiful soul! What a transformation for love & care. Thank you! 🐟🐠🐡🩵

[@kyoyameganebereznoff]

Just because they can survive in small spaces, doesn’t mean they like it. Surviving and thriving are two different things. Fish bowls are not appropriate for any fish. I’m so happy she saved this sweet betta!

[@80bbygrl]

A huge thank you to this woman who saved him! Thank you so much for caring about animals that many people don't.

[@merlapittman5034]

Blue is my favorite color, so Stevie's transformation is even more wonderful to me. Obviously, you are the Queen of the Bettas!

[@marciahyde1539]

They see you. They wonder what kind of being you are. They already found out you are caring and kind❤😊

[@shalacarter6658]

I have seen Adriana before. She is just a darling.

[@Msfifisquarepantz]

These bettas are so beautiful. They are not easy to raise and yours are spectacular. Must be the 💕

[@katymay2611]

That's amazing 😊❤ what a blessing this little guy was rescued and given a much better life. I love Bettas they're so beautiful 😍💖

[@suzystone244]

Absolutely 💯 ❤ Fish are misunderstood by many people. You have a gift. Keep giving us fish content.

[@brigittehawthorne545]

I loved my little Prince. My neighbor just handed me a little square dirty cube of water with a beta fish and she said she couldn’t take care of him any more and they were moving away. I had no idea how to take care of a beta fish but I learned from online info on the internet. I bought him a much larger tank with his own little hammock for him to lay on. I also bought leaves from the areas these little guys come from that my Princey Boy loved laying on and he thrived. He was always making bubbles for me. I had him for a few years until he got sick and I had to put him down. I sure miss my little Prince💕

[@karenisak9631]

Wow, Just Wow! Your an Amazing young lady full of Love and Knowledge. The Beautiful colors on the Beta's after you rescued them are just amazing. God Bless you.

[@TheRockinBR]

Pet shops need really to stop treating their animals like empty things, they're alive for god's sake.

[@jesterday2222]

It should become illegal for petshops to sell animals.

[@radioactivebirbchild]

@@jesterday2222 I think it should instead be that the pet shop has to prove they know the correct care for certain animals before being able to sell them. My local pet store actually does a wonderful job at keeping the pets they sell healthy, the real problems are the corporate owned stores

[@lisanidog8178]

Fish are amazing. I’ve had big eyed fish, spotted gold fish, fan tails. I loved every one of them.

[@Zeelige]

What an absolutely amazing person is this Adriana. ❤

[@wendiscott9881]

I have 2 bettas named Richard Swimmons and Russell Swimmons 😊

[@m_dawood]

My betta is Michael 'Flips'😅

[@laurensaul24]

Hurrah Stevie is a living creature 💙🙏🏻

[@Tiniiiii0906]

I absolutely love bettas. Each one has their own personality and colors. I would love to get another one after my first 2 bettas my mom bought and she thought they don’t need a lot of care. Now i have 2 tanks one 20 gallon and one 36 gallon with community fish. I also have a spare 10 gallon and I want to buy a betta but I don’t know where to put it. Plus i would love to rescue a betta, but i also don’t want to support big chain pet stores. In the future I will definitely buy a betta online.

[@lindasargent4771]

Your awesome! Thanks for saving them❤️. I wish pet stores would take the time to have classes on these subjects. I think people do want to know.

[@blightedgrounds]

I have so much respect for people who empathize with & care for animals.

[@Theendofeverything7036]

Wow what a transformation!!! At least you GAINED TEN YEARS WORTH OF KNOWLEDGE AND LEARNED FROM YOUR MISTAKES!!! Not many people can say that they learned through their mistakes. We need more people like you.❤

[@webstermitchell2335]

Awesome, people cut these fish short 🥰Thank you for this❤

[@tmm5115]

That was absolutely incredible. She has such a sweet heart.

[@mjreikiriot3302]

[@tbascoebuzz4782]

What’s amazing to me is that this woman had the foresight to know something was wrong. I would’ve just thought Stevie’s paleness was his normal appearance. God bless!

[@karlakahr8905]

What a beautiful person you are! ❤❤❤

[@laurajohnston6114]

You are amazing. Thank you for saving him

[@Candy-O1776]

Fish have feelings too.

[@marialuigia9662]

This is amazing, adorable and sweet. 💙

[@xxmattopsxx3931]

We bought a cup beta, and my mom took awful care of him, so I got my old fish tank, old filter, heater, blood worms, and some plants. The dude went from an almost whitish brown to bright red.

[@heatherburrell]

It's sad that pet shops don't really look out for the creatures they sell, and many pet shops and chains really are bad for selling the wrong and outdated products. Thankyou for helping these beautiful fish thrive 💕

[@RamenNoodle1985]

Oh man they're all such beautiful colors ❤️💙💛

[@lisanidog8178]

I never had this kind of fish just the fan tail fish with the big eyes. I had a black one named Pico, who came to the point where he loved having his fins stroked and his head stroked when he came up to the top of his bowl. I fed him special flakes. He turned gold with black rimming his fins. I was about to get him a bigger bowl and he passed away. I was traumatized. I’d had fish for years. Seeing your fish coming out of his shell and relaxing was great to see.

[@minagarcia5418]

Beautiful❤

[@sammyhill1535]

That was a beautiful, black beta very rare fish

[@theiiimmmsss]

It turned out that he's a handsome guy❤

[@pamb2734]

That’s one of the prettiest beta’s I ever saw.

[@dotnb]

They are so beautiful!

[@amberstamp1965]

Fish are not easy to take care of, and I actually work at a Pet store and we get a lot of parents coming in trying to get tanks for their young children. I try to do my part to educate parents on the responsibilities of having a fish tank. It is not easy enough for a child, I have a lot of adults that have a hard time keeping a healthy tank! This young lady is a Angel

[@indigowolf556]

Those are amazing fish I don't know much about them. Only that from what I've heard you can't put two of them together. In the small town I live in there's a little pet store that sells fish and the store is clean the people are knowledgeable but the betas are kept in a little cup and I've always wondered why they can't have like a bigger tank of their own? Thank you for saving these little fish and I do love Stevie's little mustache😊❤

[@shalacarter6658]

I have always heard the same thing. Males cannot be kept together or they will fight. Females can be kept together as long as it is not a large group.

[@dariaschooler]

She should write a book with all that experience.

[@jaca8961]

Fish can't scream. That why they need someone who speaks for them. She does it and give all the beautiful rescues a voice ❤🙏

[@mariach46]

Wow you are a special kinda lady and all your fish are beautiful ❤

[@kathlerngutiertez9693]

What a beautiful gift you have, a healer, you are blessed ❤

[@karenm19]

They’re so beautiful when they flourish! I hope anyone who wants a betta sees this and makes this their goal

[@shirley9240]

The practice of making these beautiful fish live in dirty water, little food and no room to swim has to stop.

[@lesyeuxsansvisage1157]

A recent study found that fish show affection and love, remember faces for 5+ years, and are quite smart, and can even learn tricks (there is footage of a guy who taught his goldfish how to play foosball in a special foosball tank he built). Fish truly are remarkably dear, sweet creatures, and we NEED to stop the abuse at pet stores. No one should live like that. That is the equivalent of sticking an innocent person in an asylum room, with nothing, not even food. This lovely lady, amongst others who have been spotlighted, have shown the love and gratitude fish show, their enjoyment of companionship, and how easy it can be, to do right by them. Thank you to this kind soul for saving Stevie, and countless other beautiful little fish souls. It is obvious they love and adore you, and is beyond grateful, and I am grateful too. May your life, and that of the souls you help, always be beautiful.

[@N8TheGreatG]

Your remedial

[@mariarohmer2374]

I remember years ago being at Walmart and seeing the poor state of the fish in tiny bowls. I could not believe it. I called corporate and would not stop until I spoke to someone. She was very nice and expressed concern but I also think about the people who work there and why they allowed it? Adriana is such a dear. I love her love for fish and I swear you can almost feel their love for her. It's so clear how happy they are!

[@sunmarsh]

Stevie is teaching us a lesson, if we take care of ourselves the way Adriana takes care of him, imagine how we would thrive?

[@bikedawg]

I would quadruple the size of their tank if you really want to show them some love.

[@blairariavanderkamp3405]

They are so beautiful. Thank you for helping them.

[@lynnamint]

Inspiring to see how much care and enrichment these fish receive ❤ Adriana you are amazing!

[@kittycloud223]

These fishes deserve more comfort and love. When they feel safe and relieved that there are humans who understand their nature and what they need to live will allow them to change their skin colors.

[@sleepershark8816]

Thank you:)

These videos are so important...when you visit a pet shop, look for water animals (and others) that are being neglected...and help. Thank-you for helping & for posting.

[@finchcarvingadiamond]

I quit my job at petsmart because I HATED the way we werent properly trained and how awfully we were told to care for these fish. I really tried but I was 18 and everyone I worked with sucked when I asked questions and did research or even carried around a manual. Awful
