Would be better if they were in 5 gallon tanks with heaters and filters. The "Plain" design isn't to my taste either but that's not my place to say. I can however say that you're keeping those fish improperly.
i'm so glad you give these guys enough space to swim around, what youve got there really should be the minimum, i cant believe people keep them in such small bowls!
Oh yes I am sure they prefer ammonia poisoning (sarcasm). They are filters which cause very little current like sponge filters. So far those 'tanks' are only slightly better than a common bowl.
@2facedninja i hav 6 bettas in a 5.5 gallon tank. its filled half way. its better that way since they need 2 keep going up 4 air. im getting a 10 gallon tank so theres more room 4 them. tho more room means more water
i dont think that captive bred fish really care if their home looks like their natural habitat or not. ive kept fish in a tank i decorated with bricks and trash to give it a poluted look and they seemed just as happy as thye are today in a more natural looking tank
best for the fish is TO do a GRADUAL water change weekly at most 20 %. adding live plants live the java moss will help to keep nitrate in check. best is to go high tech with filters to keep even any type of fish happy
Umm, yeah they do. All fish need filters. Only, bettas need gentle ones. Well, I guess you COULD get away without a filter for a betta, but he would have to do water changes a lot.
my betas have lived 3 years without one and my old high school has a red one thats going on 5 years and they don't used one its a east of money for thows fish but w/e u do what u want to yours and I will with mine u have your opinion and I have mine too
Bettas just do much better w/ filters, that way you don't have to do water changes daily. 3 years is not very much for a betta. They can easily reach 5-7 with a filter.
Incorrect. The average lifespan of a betta is 2-3 years, with or without a filter. The only thing a filter does is make it so you have to do complete water changes less often. Since water changes can be stressful for the fish, it's better for them to be in a larger tank or to have a filter. But a betta in a 5 gallon tank will probably only need a complete change once a week or once every two weeks, which shouldn't stress him out too much .
No. Where did you get your "facts" from? You should never do a complete water change, because that removes too much beneficial bacteria, which will kill any fish. Do some research, and stop trying to tell me something that's not true.
Wrong. Not doing a complete water change in an uncycled (ie unfiltered) tank, like these, will very quickly kill your fish due to poor water quality. We are talking about UNCYCLED tanks here, ones withOUT filters. These tanks NEED complete water changes regularly. Furthermore, these beneficial bacteria live on things like the tank wall, the gravel, and most importantly the filter media. They will survive a complete water change if one is necessary, trust me.
Yes, I knew that. I thought we were talking about a filtered tank. But you would have to do a water change daily w/o a filter, because of ammonia build up. (Unless of course you used water from a cycled tank, then you could probably go for a day longer...)
Again, it depends on a lot of things (the size of the tank, how many fish in it, live plants yes/no, etc). For a one-gallon tank with only one betta in it and no live plants, you can do just fine changing the water twice a week. Of course, in an ideal world, you'd have a testing kit (stick or liquid) and be testing the ammonia daily so you KNOW when it's too high and needs to be changed. Then you change it the day before it gets too high.
And that was in an unfiltered tank, one gallon, changing twice a week. As long as the tank is big enough, daily water changes are not necessary. And you really shouldn't be keeping a betta in a tank smaller than one gallon anyway.
Why are you telling me this? I feel like I'm researching basic fish keeping all over again. There was just a misunderstanding there. I know how to properly care for fish. Thanks for any advice you were trying to give me.
I was not giving false information! I was talking about a filtered tank, and that is not false information. It's simply not good to do a 100% water change.
You also said that bettas easily live 7 years with filters (untrue) and that 3 years isn't a long time for a betta (it is). 5 years is very impressive. 2-3 is average. You said doing a 100% water change will remove too much beneficial bacteria, when it lives mostly in the filter media, some in the gravel. You also said that you'd have to do daily water changes in an unfiltered tank, when a gallon tank can go a week safely without a change, with just one betta in it. That's a lot of false info.
It's still no good to do a 100% water change, and yes, I KNOW that most beneficial bacteria lives on the filter media, but you can't just remove all of the water from a tank, then put conditioned tap water inside and expect the tank not have a bacteria bloom. I've done it before, and it have tested the water, and there are is some ammonia and nitrite in the water due to a bacteria bloom. You should stick with 25% water changes a week.
And guess what, so have I, and the ammonia and nitrate readings were fine. I do 10% water changes weekly, but doing a 100% water change will absolutely NOT hurt a thing. My guess is there was something else in your tank that caused the bloom.
I researched the betta age thing, and it says depending on how you care for them, their life span is 2-5 years, with 6 or 7 not being completely uncommon. It's 2-3 years in a bowl. (That's why, folks, we are not supposed to keep bettas in unfiltered bowls and tanks.) and 3-5 in a properly filtered and cycled tank, with 25% weekly water changes. My betta's already a couple years old and still going strong. He's in a filtered, cycled 30 gallon aquarium.
Guess what, my last betta I kept in a...gasp, bowl ...and he lived well over three years with weekly water changes. This one I've just got lives happily in a 10gal, and if she lives more than 4 I'll be mightily impressed. Where did you do your research? All the betta owners and breeders I've spoken to say 3-4 years is absolute max in ideal care. 5 is supremely impressive, and in fact I don't even think I've ever heard 6. Bettas can do fine without filters in bowls, with proper care.
WOW that's amazing, considering the longest-lived betta in carefully controlled laboratory settings was six years. Good for your friend. Unfortunately, there's no other records of bettas living that long... and 100% water changes will not hurt a thing. There's always a chance of bacterial bloom when you change anything, 10% water change, changing the filter media, new plant/decor... that doesn't mean performing regular maintenance isn't harmless the vast majority of the time.
Okay, whatevs. This is stupid. We're both right in certain ways, were both wrong in certain ways. I hate arguing....
Anyhow, we're just spamming now. I'm going be the peace maker, because no one else will .*cough* *cough*
Anyhow, I believe my friend, and I don't give a crap if you don't believe me or her. She's not one to lie, especially about stuff she doesn't know much about.
almond leaves are a "TEA" like leafe found in asia, also known as Terminalia catappa. it conditions the water and makes the water turn into a tea color "yellowish brown." it has many kinds of essential vitamins so to say for the fishes fins, scales, and overall health. it also makes them overall more comfortable. it makes the water seem to be as if they were in the wild. they will be more comfortable therefore they will be more active and look healtier. you can buy some on ebay.
Good Recomendation!!!! i use them for all my betta community tanks and especially breeding tanks ;)
And as you said mystasher, i have healthy bettas from it never been sick, also i'm a bit of a betta fanatic, breeding for a hobby but great recomendation
no problem man, i love this leafe, i know its wrong but i had my fishes live in their jars for over 3 months how without changing the water because i had the leafe in it. they are still perfect and the water is still clean! for some reason it seems that the longer the leafe is in the water, the better the water quality is...
wow, just be careful and look for those signs of illness, I'm sure u know what your doing so i don't have to tell ya that. I have a bunch of those Large Grade B leaves in every one of my tanks. 4 10gal and 1 20gal and the water is a clear amber! love the way it looks compared to the clear water.
it also works for other tropical fishes, i was breeding my angel fishes, and they never seemed to be interested. i dropped a leaf in the tank and about 3 hours later, bam bam bam...eggs everywhere on the pole.
Nice, yeah i breed bettas and love doing it, i actually have done plenty spawns without the leaves and started using them a lil while ago. But i have halfmoons from thailand, and even with the leaves all three males aren't intrested in bubble nesting at all
yeah as i stated before, i have done that, being that i own over 20 bettas all different fin types. It seems the HM are more tough in breeding and bubblenesting naturally
best way to keep a betta is take everything out and put a indian almond leaf in there and some live java moss. thats all he needs to be happy..happier than all of those designs. cant you see the bettas fins are so sluggish and not spread out nicely? almond leave would fix that and the java moss will make your tank look natural. my two cents.
Okay, what happened to reply? Sorry if I accidentally insulted somebody I didn't mean to, I was complaining about the people who are saying that it's okay to keep bettas in tiny cups. Just because you might want to hear you can keep a little colourful fishy in a tiny container on your desk, doesn't mean its true. They may survive like that, but they don't LIVE like that. They hate it.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
i just wanna clear things up ,bettas live in finger deep, muddy puddles of water on the side of the roads in indonesia ,you dont need a big tank to keep them ,when you put gravel in your tank make sure the is isnt the same colour as your fish as they will dim down and they dont stand out like the ones ,such as the ones in this video.
No offence but this is the biggest load of shit I've ever read. Bettas may not need big tanks but they DO need sufficient swimming space. How exactly are bettas going to breed in muddy puddles of water? They don't LIVE there, they END UP there in the dry season when floods recede.
In captivity they need at least 1 gallon, clean water, below 0.25ppm ammonia AT ALL TIMES. Gravel and other decorations make them behave more naturally instead of just sitting in one place.
People shoudn't bag other people on how they keep there fish, these tanks are great, an if this person could have a heater, it would be reccomended, but the fish look fine, and the tank designs are cool. Bettas can do ok in as little as .5 of a gallon, but should be in at least 1 gallon for maximum happiness, and if you have a tank that is large enough and is glass, then you should have a heater and filter if you can, but as long as there tanks are heated to some degree, they will do fine.
the first and last ones are kinda ugly in my opinion, but I like the middle (black rocks) one! They could all use a few more plants, too... Still, way better than those little teeny cups that people sometimes keep them in which should be illegal! Check out mine and let me know what you think!
inside those little teeny cups they will live longer. and its easy to breath for them. in nature they live in rise fields so they are used to low water.
That's a common misconception. Bettas actually live in larger bodies of water. They're tropical too, so they require a heater. Keep a betta in a little cup like that and see how long they last.
It's best to keep a betta in at least a 2.5 gallon aquarium.
^ Absolutely correct. On a rice paddy or other natural habitat there are bacteria to remove harmful waste. These are NOT present in cups. Betta cups are cruel and result in the deaths (and misery) of bettas.
Ever hear of the concept of "free speech"? I expressed my opinion. It's your perogative to disagree, but no need to throw hissyfit after hissyfit. Get over it!
And this will be my last reponse to you. Hopefully when you get to your 10th birthday you'll become a bit more mature. ;

almond leaves are a "TEA" like leafe found in asia, also known as Terminalia catappa. it conditions the water and makes the water turn into a tea color "yellowish brown." it has many kinds of essential vitamins so to say for the fishes fins, scales, and overall health. it also makes them overall more comfortable. it makes the water seem to be as if they were in the wild. they will be more comfortable therefore they will be more active and look healtier. you can buy some on ebay.

Good Recomendation!!!! i use them for all my betta community tanks and especially breeding tanks ;)
And as you said mystasher, i have healthy bettas from it never been sick, also i'm a bit of a betta fanatic, breeding for a hobby but great recomendation

no problem man, i love this leafe, i know its wrong but i had my fishes live in their jars for over 3 months how without changing the water because i had the leafe in it. they are still perfect and the water is still clean! for some reason it seems that the longer the leafe is in the water, the better the water quality is...

wow, just be careful and look for those signs of illness, I'm sure u know what your doing so i don't have to tell ya that. I have a bunch of those Large Grade B leaves in every one of my tanks. 4 10gal and 1 20gal and the water is a clear amber! love the way it looks compared to the clear water.

it also works for other tropical fishes, i was breeding my angel fishes, and they never seemed to be interested. i dropped a leaf in the tank and about 3 hours later, bam bam bam...eggs everywhere on the pole.
mystasher 2 years ago
Nice, yeah i breed bettas and love doing it, i actually have done plenty spawns without the leaves and started using them a lil while ago. But i have halfmoons from thailand, and even with the leaves all three males aren't intrested in bubble nesting at all

Put a female in a tank next to one of the bettas. Competiton will start them up ;)

yeah as i stated before, i have done that, being that i own over 20 bettas all different fin types. It seems the HM are more tough in breeding and bubblenesting naturally

indian almond leafe. look it up on google look up indian almond leafe betta

best way to keep a betta is take everything out and put a indian almond leaf in there and some live java moss. thats all he needs to be happy..happier than all of those designs. cant you see the bettas fins are so sluggish and not spread out nicely? almond leave would fix that and the java moss will make your tank look natural. my two cents.

said he doesn't go for the natural look, just through an almond leaf in there and keep them as is.

Find some glass paint and try your hand at some back plane art :]
Also get something to help water proof it like a thinly spred layer of clear varnish worked for me.

Okay, what happened to reply? Sorry if I accidentally insulted somebody I didn't mean to, I was complaining about the people who are saying that it's okay to keep bettas in tiny cups. Just because you might want to hear you can keep a little colourful fishy in a tiny container on your desk, doesn't mean its true. They may survive like that, but they don't LIVE like that. They hate it.

the scuba one i think kinda makes the fish go pee more than he often does

i just wanna clear things up ,bettas live in finger deep, muddy puddles of water on the side of the roads in indonesia ,you dont need a big tank to keep them ,when you put gravel in your tank make sure the is isnt the same colour as your fish as they will dim down and they dont stand out like the ones ,such as the ones in this video.
Hotpants1231 3 years ago
No offence but this is the biggest load of shit I've ever read. Bettas may not need big tanks but they DO need sufficient swimming space. How exactly are bettas going to breed in muddy puddles of water? They don't LIVE there, they END UP there in the dry season when floods recede.
In captivity they need at least 1 gallon, clean water, below 0.25ppm ammonia AT ALL TIMES. Gravel and other decorations make them behave more naturally instead of just sitting in one place.

No, thy live in foot deep miles long rice paddies in Thailand. Their labrinth allowes them to breath atmospheric air. Check your facts buddy =) =).

People shoudn't bag other people on how they keep there fish, these tanks are great, an if this person could have a heater, it would be reccomended, but the fish look fine, and the tank designs are cool. Bettas can do ok in as little as .5 of a gallon, but should be in at least 1 gallon for maximum happiness, and if you have a tank that is large enough and is glass, then you should have a heater and filter if you can, but as long as there tanks are heated to some degree, they will do fine.

the first and second betta dont look very healthy and you need a filter and heater in there....
sangoluvr9 3 years ago
the first and last ones are kinda ugly in my opinion, but I like the middle (black rocks) one! They could all use a few more plants, too... Still, way better than those little teeny cups that people sometimes keep them in which should be illegal! Check out mine and let me know what you think!
BugBear6000 3 years ago
inside those little teeny cups they will live longer. and its easy to breath for them. in nature they live in rise fields so they are used to low water.
hieronymus21 3 years ago
That's a common misconception. Bettas actually live in larger bodies of water. They're tropical too, so they require a heater. Keep a betta in a little cup like that and see how long they last.
It's best to keep a betta in at least a 2.5 gallon aquarium.

^ Absolutely correct. On a rice paddy or other natural habitat there are bacteria to remove harmful waste. These are NOT present in cups. Betta cups are cruel and result in the deaths (and misery) of bettas.

Sorry to be late in answering. 2.5 gallons. Really too small for bettas - they should be in 5 - 10 gallon tanks ideally.
