Nice video again, I'm sorry to hear about you'r betta I have only lost to fish since I got back into it one I kn9w was stress, my fault I had to fix a leek and a cat fish passed the other was a gourami and I have no idea what killed him. went to bed he was fin got was dead, anyway nice vids keep it up.
Nooooooooooooo. He was one of the most loved of your fish. And, on another note. I did not no he had won a medal.? But, that probably doesn't help. I really liked that little guy. I must say though, your other fish tank is looking really good, the plants are just booming.
So sorry for your loss, especially right before Christmas. Just subscribed and started watching your videos and am learning a lot. I got a Betta (Barclay) just a few weeks ago and I'm already in love. They thought he was a veiltail, but it turns out he's a crown and gorgeous (not show quality for sure, but beautiful to me. I've always had such bad luck with fish - I'm really working to do it right this time. Again, sorry for your loss. Hope you have a Merry Christmas in spite of it.
@Fishplanebusmusiclol They need lots of cover and 5 g each even with that regular water changes are a MUST no matter how many plants they make the same ammount of wast that a 5inch goldfish poduces
I'm sorry for your loss. Bettas are one of my favourites. I've had a few now.
I don't know if female bettas would work in that tank, though. They can get a bit rough with each other if you don't have a group of them to even out the aggression. I have 6 of them myself in a 10 gallon and that seems to work fine. I also have a male in a separate 5 gallon.
Good luck with your tank! I'm looking forward to seeing what you do with it! :D
Sorry to hear you lost one buddy. Participating in the fish hobby has a down side of eventually losing some fish. Been there myself several times, not a lot of fun when that happens! Take a look at my tank, if you get a chance to do so sometime. I subbed you too by the way, so feel free to return the favor, if you like. If you choose to sub me, you will enjoy viewing all the items I have already on hand, as well as what will come ahead. I post quite often. Again, sorry about the loss.
Dude Ross that SUCKS! I've had it happen to me too. It's not nice and its a really shitty disease. Hey you gave him a good tank and he had a good life. He always looked happy and healthy and was the brightest red ever :D Sorry for your loss, and i hope you get a nice new betta but they are truly in replaceble fish. :(
Rossi Hello, I am very sorry for what happened to your betta, but I think you should also consider the possibility of a natural death because, to my knowledge, the life cycle of this species rarely exceeds 2 years. I have two betta splendens in two different tanks, and both just over a year and then would have 15 months of age. So once you inform of what will happen in the months to come!
im soo sory i dont think it was your wood i think it as maybe exess nirite this vid has given me more respect for betta i might put a single male one in a 33 gallon(after the unexpected ammonia spike) if over
@TheRossiboy oh... well i bet your really sad u should do lots of fun things to get your mind of... well this btw did he have a name im sure we would all likw to know
@TheRossiboy I just lost one of my betta fry to parasites. I didn't catch it in time to save him, but I treated the tank with coppersafe and the other fry that had parasites have almost no signs of parasites anymore. Always good to have a few meds on hand! Like your vids, very informative. Subbed. By the way just wondering how you made out with your cory fry? Did any make it to adult?
Hey Ross! Meant to show u a vid of my betta that died too. U should check it out also if u'd like. One question, I recently got a driftwood which I broke into peices and it's been in my tank for 2 weeks, it still floats. So how can I make it so where it won't float?
Sorry to hear Ross, Myself and my betta,Paul, send our deepest condolences. Don't blame yourself, as the experienced fish keeper you are, you know how delicate fish can be, and how easy it is for something to go wrong in the tank unnoticed. I must say as well, that I am impressed as to the lengths you are going to, to ensure the safety of any future fish. Cheers.
Well,sorry for the loss,but bettas dont live that long anyways, so dont feel too bad. instead of fighting fish why not try some ramirez chiclids. beutiful fish ok with plants and not too fiesty.
Sorry to here about your loss it could be sap from your wood, I would get rid of it, if you are thinking of starting again, plus whats the PH in your tank at the moment ?
sorry to hear about the betta Ross , wierd coincidence mine died yesterday aswell had him for about a year and a half aswell , he was my wee favorite fish
That doesn't look like aquatic safe wood. It probably has sap in it. Boiling it for weeks wouldn't make it safe either as it will still rot and pollute the water.
dang dude everyone that enters a contest has a fish die lol i entered my old powder brown tang in mikes contest a while back then the hurricane came lol
Ross, what is the average age for the Betta? Maybe he was getting on a bit and his immune system wasn't up for the fullest. You learn from your mistakes,
@19901990777 Dwarf Puffers do make a lot of waste though! You'll need a really effective filter. I was considering buying a Dwarf Puffer for my tank but went for Tiger Barbs instead. :)
Ross, that's a complete tragedy. I know how it feels, my Kissing fish's mate died, and I had it for a little under 15 years, I don't think I mentioned that I had another Kissing fish in my vids. Thanks for teaching me about that disease, I'll look out for it in my fish, and i'll have a better insight about drift wood before throwing them in my tanks.
@9BigGeorge yeah...it was very unexpected, the other day he was jumping for food and it all happened so quick. oh right, yeah I don't think you mentioned good age though! good to know it's helped you, it's worth stocking up on treatments to diseases that kill quickly incase you can't get them in time :) sorry to hear about your puffer, those worms were weird!
@TheRossiboy Those worms were weird as hell, I found out that they were a type of Nematode. Yeah, I plan on stocking up on medicines, are you gonna get another Beta?
thats a bitch man that was one nice betta u had there , iv lost many a betta and it kills u man sorry to hear that man , ow and yeah i finaly dirted my 15 gallon and it looking awesome , i did get rid of alot of the plants mainly the anubias nana coz most of it died but it still looks good little empty with the plants but it will grown and fill out the tank when i have all my fish in there and it clears up il post a vid , and sorry to hear about the betta
@AwesomeAssassin1000 thanks a lot...sounds great be sure to make an upload, maybee get some stem plants to absorb some of those excess nutrients to prevent algae...you can use things like ludwigia, elodia, rotala and cambomba...they're usually inexpensive and grow fast in soil
