@Limcamilka there is a wee bit of luck in but being keep in little block tanks or cups you should be able to tell a fishes aggressiveness. Look for a medium amount of movement, meaning one that happily swims not one that is darting around fast but also not one that just sits in one akward spot. Also look for the amount of flaring as that can show stress and defenciveness. Also the colour of the fish can show calmness or stress. Hope this helps :)
lovly just one thing remove the chineas algea eater... as it grows older it will become extreemly agressive eat your plants and stress/attack your fish. fish with lots of hiding places still show teratorial behaviour but have more spreadout places to make their teratories
Hey, would you mind watching and commenting on my video "Adding a Betta To My Guppy Tank"? I only ask because I made that video because I saw this one and it was supposed to be a sort of video response, but I couldn't figure that out on my phone. It's just on my channel. I put it up an hour ago. If you could do that, that'd be great. If you posted this video almost a year ago, you've probably already named the betta. What'd you name it
i jusr got a new crowntail betta named Alejandro and got him 2 guppy girls named Starsruck and Paperazzi (all lady gaga song titles) and they seem to be doing just fine in their 1gal. i know its not big enough but i just got it. i will get a bigger tank later on. and could you tell me if i could get another guppy? or would it be to crowded?
Beautiful tank! I like how you went with the natural look to your tank. That is similar to how I have mine set up. I plan to make a video about my guppy tank and ill try to show my betta fish too. His name is Blue. I think Aurora would be a cool name for your betta.
I have some guppies in with my betta and it has really brought him 'out of his shell'. I have found that the guppies tend to keep their boisterousness to each other and leave the betta alone. with the betta being left alone, he seems quite happy to just glide about the tank 'acting tough', lol!
it is possible to keep bettas with goldfish as bettas do not require warm water. They can adapt to colder water, and bettas are not aggressive, as long as you keep them away from other males, and anything that looks like a male betta. Bettas are one of the easiest fish to keep in a community tank.
@AndehX Betta fish are tropical, so they need warm water. They can live in colder water for a time, but they're not very happy, and they often get sick and die. =/
its not the guppies i would be worried about but my beta, cuz from my experience beta is the one that comes under attack from almost all kinda fish cuz of its long flowing fins. its too much of an attraction for the other fish. take a closer look and ur guppies are more interested in the beta :D
I have had 2 female guppies living together for about 6 months, recently I had a ammonia spike and It killed one of the guppies, now the one left just sits in the corner and looks depressed, would buying another female guppy help Or should I give up hope?
How beautiful a tank you have!!!! WOW I would love for my tank to have white find sand/glass as the substraight. I also had a Betta with a tank full of fish for several years and it was peaceful to the other fish.
@danielb1787 well, in my old tank I had more then five females, a male, and 3 red eye tetras. So you can add tetras if you want. Just try and get a big group of females.
well im probably gonna sound dumb but i have a 3 gallon tank and i just tried to put a betta and two guppies together the betta seemed okay but the two guppies look scared shitless of the betta they just stayed in one corner for like 30 mins did not move! then i took the betta out and now they seem happy and are swimming around! sigh i guess it was to small of a tank :/

fighting fish attack their own reflection all the time. if they attack any guppy its dead caus they are weak fish and die of shock even if they see their own reflection
i think all the live bearers eat the fry you need to put a partition in asp. keep an eye out for fry every 2/3 months you need a 60ltr tank at least if you have guppy's, platies and swordtails or mollies. plants are a bit dodgy as some fish like mollies eat too much of it and others decay easy and cause acidity so just buy then seperatly and see how they go and other plants fish use for hiding and natural camoflage like angelfish in front of long grassy plants cos they have stripes to match.
I had a Betta years ago in a 55 Gallon Comunity Tank with Guppys....the first months nothing happend but than the Betta attacks the Guppys when I turned off the light by night!
@123ak59 ~Haha. Nah, but the funny thing is guppies are SO prolific, that even with my dinosaur eel eating them they still reproduce faster then he can devour them.
@petgirl8 I have two community tanks with a male betta in each for over a year. So far both my males have not killed a single fish. The name was given to then because they use the males to fight in a sport just like they do with roosters, dogs...ect. Under the correct circumstances these fish are peaceful.
@petgirl8 Males will fight other males, they will not always kill each other. Males can live peacefully in other community fish tanks giving those fish do not nip at their fins. Guppies, platies, plecos and so on are good fish for a betta fish tank.
@laceymay611 Cull the ones that develop into young unattractive fish. That means putting the unwanted offspring in another tank or feeding them to a predatory fish... Like a dinosaur eel. =]
Hi, I love your tank, it is very beautiful. I would love to have one like it, but I was wondering about your substrate. I really like it, what is it? I've been doing some reading on substrate for aquarium plants, I'd love to get something like Eco-Complete except that is dark, and I prefer the white color. Any thoughts?
I have 6 zerba danios. They attacked my betta, so I put it in isolation until I got 5 tetras of different species. Now I think it's okay, but my neon tetra is the smallest and within a week got the top of its tail chomped. Waiting for aquariumplants . com to ship some plants. Thx for the vid.
@dangerdude000 you can keep almost any fish with bettas expt african cichiclids and fish bigger than the bettas.make shute to have a heavily planted tank
@addjewlery she knows how your fish is feeling is because of the reaserch she as done that you obviously have not. everything she has said I have read in many books and on up to date sites. if this is how your tank works maby tape it? tits or gtfo kinda thing? she talks asbout her bettas personality and how the tank from guppies to tank size too plants, how it all flows. listine much?
What is the algae eater at 2:32? Can a keep a betta in a 29 gallon tank with some corydoras catfish, Siamese algae eaters, 7 head and tail light tetras, and some platies?
aww thats soo sad there are so many beutiful and awsome animals that are abused for no reason betta fish are forced to live in small cups goldfissh are put in by hundreds in one 50 gall and guppies are also put in by hundreds in a 50 gall in most pet stores these are just three there are millions of other animals like these thumbs up for animmaallls
I ran into your video by accident. Thank you for making such a concise and informative video about the misunderstood betta - Its perfect. It bothers me to see betta mislabeled and otherwise mistreated.
I recently got another betta from a shop and have been kinda cranky about what the clerk said. It makes me feel better to know Im not the only one who doesnt view bettas as aquarium killers.
*cont* My yellow betta is the most aggressive betta Ive ever had. Fortunately he is a billowing crowntail, and so too slow to catch any other fish if his interest lasted more than a couple seconds. I think it comes down to the size of the tank, the personality of the betta, and the other species in the tank. For example, a small tank with a fast angry betta, little cover + slow neighbouring fish wouldnt be a good. Unfortunately you cant tell the activity level of a betta until you get it home.
Each betta has a different personality. Some are more slow, some more aggressive. I have had a handful of betta in community tanks over the years and never had a problem with tetras or guppies or minnows, or anything! My yellow one was so much of a food-hog I had to move him to his own tank though. While in the community tank he sometimes chased the barbs for a second. The rose betta in there now completely ignores the other fish. I had some shrimp and there was no problem with them either.
my betta is in a 15g tank and it attacks everything. I put a few neon tetras in it and my betta attacked them, even managing to catch one by the tail. I rescued the tetra and all of them are doing well in a separate tank. My betta is alone in the 15g tank and I think it likes it that way
@fiqtoopro exact same problem as me i got rid of my betta, it killed 5 of my tetras by chasing them constantly anything that moved he would chase this was also in a 15 gallon wide tank.
yes everyone always seems to think that bettas are bloodsuckers.
but really, bettas are actually pretty peaceful if they are giving the right tank space.
i have my male betta in a 37 gallon fish tank.it is a bit harder for bettas to live in tanks with other fast swimming fish. this is because they eat all the food before your betta can eat it. result in in your betta dying from starvation. it happend to me 2 times before i got a beta that would get exited and go to the top of the tank for food.
@TheChrisTelevision Im wondering if you arent mistaking excitement for observant-ness? Any healthy fish wants to eat. If a fish sees you are dropping food in, it will come. Theres no real excuse for a healthy pet starving. Betta are often off to the side looking at something and wont see you with food. In which case I get the bettas attention so it can come and eat. At the least, you could keep an eye on the betta and feed it specifically when you get its attention/ when it comes up for air.
Your tank and idea is beautiful!!!!! To be honest, that is the very first betta I have ever seen swim around!!!!!!!! LOL The ones that I have seen all just hang at the top so it was neat seeing that they could actually swim. I know that sounds dumb, but it just goes to show, that you idea is wonderful!!! Excellent video BTW too.
That tank is amazing- it's exactly what I'm trying to set up but with Tetra's or Rasbora's. What is the tall grass like plant if you don't mind. I recognize most of the others but not that one.
Hi, awesome aquarium you got there, I love how it is planted.
I have a few questions about the planting of this tank, what did you use as substrate? -- Is it glass sand or just regular sand? And did you put any gardening soil beneath the sand or are those plants just growing in sand?
guppies can be aggressive towards each other while mating and tear each others fins often, they are community fish but most don't realize they can be aggressive too
@Reecethomas34 No. Bettas attack most long-colored fins fishes (Guppies, Angelfish, Gouramis, etc.. is a long list). They may don't do this some times (maybe 5%), but you have always to remember that bettas are aggresive fishes... even with a highly planted tank they will tend to attack their tankmates, if they are fast enough they wont get wounded but they, eventually, will be damaged or stressed to dangerous levels.
finnaly! someone knows how to treats there bettas! I hate it when betta's are stuck in those one gallon tanks. i have my betta in a ten gallon but its isolated from my other tanks. would it be ok if i put it in my tropical communtiy tank of 20 gallons? theres mostly mollies in that tank and a few minows.
@daedae8609 Tetras are more nippy than guppies and it is likely that whatever species of tetra you pick.....you'll end up with a betta fish with nipped fins. So in that case, it's better for the safety of your betta to NOT have tetras kept with it. Sometimes it works, but unless you have a whole school of tetras to work with and a large tank, I'd say it's not likely to succeed.
Nice dragon, why dont you also put a Buddha statue, maybe the statue of Liberty and a scull, yes, a scull would fit fine and then tell stories about how fish should be kept.
Betta need SOFT water low Ph and guppies the opposite.
Bettas DEMAND their privacy to built their nest.
I could write till tomorrow the reasons why they cant be put together but ..... NO you wouldn't listen cause ..... you already know it all.
since you are asking for help i'll say to you my true story i have a betta too and if i put him with a scalare for exaple the betta will chase of the scalare no matter its size, so the "kind " of this fish comes with different charachter just like humans , yours is easy to handle mine is a bully and also add a house like deco the love to hide in a complex system.
does the betta ever eat any of the fry and i house female bettas with guppies in a 10 gallon tank and they do just great i guess it all depends on how aggressive the bettas are
nice tank!, i've got two goldies in a fluval edge, they seem to love it but i know i want to upgrade again in the future to a larger maybe 40g tank and increase the family a bit, do you think a betta and a few gups would do well in the edge? Before i was thinking maybe a white cloud mountain minnow biope or a shrimp and danio tank
@ASHOKCHAMLING I've kept ghost shrimp with a betta. Cherry shrimp should be fine. I have a video of shrimp, a snail, platies, and a betta together on my SuperCheesetastic account. Sorry if it seems like i'm advertising. xD
hi , i have my 2 female bettas (who have been together for mounths in a 2.5g with 2 corys) and now the bettas and the corys are in a 10 gallon with 2 new platys (both male), i set the 10 gallon up today , do u thinck they will all get along , my bettas have had many tank mates befor and they have not killed anything exept wehn a molly had babies they ate the babies
Always love it when people think outside the box and try to keep different fish together peacefully. I love this tank so much. Can you please share the secret of keeping those plants bright and healthy ? Do you use substrate? or liquid fert?
@Jackyhkable I just use simple play-sand for the bottom and have a really strong light. I think the regular water changes help as well. I mostly keep easy to keep plants :) Im glad you like my tank.
So about 2 months later im acctually gonna try this :D thanks for inspiring me, ill keep some videos posted on my channel if you would like to see what it looks like :D thank you!!!
Hi, I'm planning to buy some guppies and betta fish as my pets for the first time. I'm living in California, so I need to buy a heater for the fish tank during cold weather like Winter?
@lustrefriend How cold does it get inside your house? Tanks often match room temperature when there is no heater so if, during the winter, your house is till around 80 then u dont need a heater. But if not then buy one, they are not that expensive.
@Limcamilka there is a wee bit of luck in but being keep in little block tanks or cups you should be able to tell a fishes aggressiveness. Look for a medium amount of movement, meaning one that happily swims not one that is darting around fast but also not one that just sits in one akward spot. Also look for the amount of flaring as that can show stress and defenciveness. Also the colour of the fish can show calmness or stress. Hope this helps :)

I ran into your video by accident. Thank you for making such a concise and informative video about the misunderstood betta - Its perfect. It bothers me to see betta mislabeled and otherwise mistreated.
I recently got another betta from a shop and have been kinda cranky about what the clerk said. It makes me feel better to know Im not the only one who doesnt view bettas as aquarium killers.

*cont* My yellow betta is the most aggressive betta Ive ever had. Fortunately he is a billowing crowntail, and so too slow to catch any other fish if his interest lasted more than a couple seconds. I think it comes down to the size of the tank, the personality of the betta, and the other species in the tank. For example, a small tank with a fast angry betta, little cover + slow neighbouring fish wouldnt be a good. Unfortunately you cant tell the activity level of a betta until you get it home.
ibexien 2 months ago
Each betta has a different personality. Some are more slow, some more aggressive. I have had a handful of betta in community tanks over the years and never had a problem with tetras or guppies or minnows, or anything! My yellow one was so much of a food-hog I had to move him to his own tank though. While in the community tank he sometimes chased the barbs for a second. The rose betta in there now completely ignores the other fish. I had some shrimp and there was no problem with them either.

my betta is in a 15g tank and it attacks everything. I put a few neon tetras in it and my betta attacked them, even managing to catch one by the tail. I rescued the tetra and all of them are doing well in a separate tank. My betta is alone in the 15g tank and I think it likes it that way

@fiqtoopro exact same problem as me i got rid of my betta, it killed 5 of my tetras by chasing them constantly anything that moved he would chase this was also in a 15 gallon wide tank.

yes everyone always seems to think that bettas are bloodsuckers.
but really, bettas are actually pretty peaceful if they are giving the right tank space.
i have my male betta in a 37 gallon fish tank.it is a bit harder for bettas to live in tanks with other fast swimming fish. this is because they eat all the food before your betta can eat it. result in in your betta dying from starvation. it happend to me 2 times before i got a beta that would get exited and go to the top of the tank for food.
TheChrisTelevision 2 months ago
@TheChrisTelevision Im wondering if you arent mistaking excitement for observant-ness? Any healthy fish wants to eat. If a fish sees you are dropping food in, it will come. Theres no real excuse for a healthy pet starving. Betta are often off to the side looking at something and wont see you with food. In which case I get the bettas attention so it can come and eat. At the least, you could keep an eye on the betta and feed it specifically when you get its attention/ when it comes up for air.

Your tank and idea is beautiful!!!!! To be honest, that is the very first betta I have ever seen swim around!!!!!!!! LOL The ones that I have seen all just hang at the top so it was neat seeing that they could actually swim. I know that sounds dumb, but it just goes to show, that you idea is wonderful!!! Excellent video BTW too.

That tank is amazing- it's exactly what I'm trying to set up but with Tetra's or Rasbora's. What is the tall grass like plant if you don't mind. I recognize most of the others but not that one.

Hi, awesome aquarium you got there, I love how it is planted.
I have a few questions about the planting of this tank, what did you use as substrate? -- Is it glass sand or just regular sand? And did you put any gardening soil beneath the sand or are those plants just growing in sand?
byjpan 2 months ago
guppies can be aggressive towards each other while mating and tear each others fins often, they are community fish but most don't realize they can be aggressive too

is it generally safe to put these two species together?
Reecethomas34 2 months ago
@Reecethomas34 No. Bettas attack most long-colored fins fishes (Guppies, Angelfish, Gouramis, etc.. is a long list). They may don't do this some times (maybe 5%), but you have always to remember that bettas are aggresive fishes... even with a highly planted tank they will tend to attack their tankmates, if they are fast enough they wont get wounded but they, eventually, will be damaged or stressed to dangerous levels.
Check the aquarium wiki.

can u put tetras with a betta
daedae8609 2 months ago
@daedae8609 Tetras are more nippy than guppies and it is likely that whatever species of tetra you pick.....you'll end up with a betta fish with nipped fins. So in that case, it's better for the safety of your betta to NOT have tetras kept with it. Sometimes it works, but unless you have a whole school of tetras to work with and a large tank, I'd say it's not likely to succeed.

Nice dragon, why dont you also put a Buddha statue, maybe the statue of Liberty and a scull, yes, a scull would fit fine and then tell stories about how fish should be kept.
Betta need SOFT water low Ph and guppies the opposite.
Bettas DEMAND their privacy to built their nest.
I could write till tomorrow the reasons why they cant be put together but ..... NO you wouldn't listen cause ..... you already know it all.

lustrefriend 3 months ago in playlist More videos from CreativePetKeeping
@lustrefriend How cold does it get inside your house? Tanks often match room temperature when there is no heater so if, during the winter, your house is till around 80 then u dont need a heater. But if not then buy one, they are not that expensive.
