nice but is it a gallon or more of water and be careful of plactic plants can harm fins. Ideal temp is 75-80 degrees. sweet spot for temp is 78-80 degrees. They are good jumpers, can jump upto 4 inches. really not enough space for your fish. one gallon or more for one fish. Not enought space for him to turn around in. thats like living in a tall skinny room. vases are on not a good tank...

[KumshotSurprise]

@BIGWHITE20 I agree with bigwhite20. if that fish were to have a kumshot surprise of his own, he'd be forced to swim in it. terrible.

[sofarfromme]

Hey, beautiful betta. I keep re-watching your vid just to see him again. :)

[EveryoneLuvzBetaFish]

where did you get that fish tank? plz tell me

[davenitro31]

As long as u clean it regularly he or she will be fine!

[duynguyen234]

can a betta fish live in a bowl for like a year?

[TheBettalover123]

@duynguyen234 a betta can live in a bowl as long as you clean it daily and keep water room temp or 70 deg

[TheFreshwaterFish]

@TheBettalover123 No. Bettas are tropical. They need at least 75 degree water.

[kafkabeatle]

I'm kind of astounded that anyone would keep a fish in a container with such little lateral space. This is like a person living in a closet that has walls 5 stories tall. Just because it's tall doesn't mean it makes up for the fact that the first can literally hardly turn around.

I assume you've just never seen the beauty of a betta zipping across its aquarium. Otherwise I am baffled to see that you find this to be ok.

soooo ......boring

[MrWthisthis100]

poor betta

[LukeKoman]

u dont have a filter or heater???

[TheBettalover123]

@LukeKoman if he or she changes it once a week and he keep water room temp u dont need it tanks can be easier to manage got my heater set up the other day got 3 females in a 10 gallon tank

[kafkabeatle]

@TheBettalover123 No. Room temperature is NOT ok for bettas. They are tropical fish, and actually like their water WARMER than other tropicals. 80 F is the perfect temperature for them, so unless your room temperature is like 85, a heater most certainly IS needed.

[TheBettalover123]

@kafkabeatle nope i dont know where u got ur facts from

[kafkabeatle]

@TheBettalover123 Do a quick internet search on betta care and you'll find a LOT of information which supports the facts I have stated.

[kafkabeatle]

@TheBettalover123 This article addresses heating and water quality concerns. Peteducation . com addresses heating and water quality concerns. I tried to link the article but you'll have to search it yourself because apparently links aren't allowed. It keeps giving me the message "error, try again" when I try to post it.

[kafkabeatle]

@TheBettalover123 I assume you get your information from Wal-Mart or pet store employees since you seem so intent upon remaining ill-informed and condoning the abuse and torture of fish. Betta lover my fucking ass. Sure, bettas live a few years in an unheated bowl, but that's just a testament to their hardiness. Because in ideal conditions they are VERY active, colorful, and live upwards of 10 years. People who are like "my betta lived 3 years in a bowl" make me sick.

[kafkabeatle]

@TheBettalover123 That is like saying, "my kid lived 14 years living in our closet! Yay!" Just because they can SURVIVE (not thrive) in a certain environment doesn't mean it's ok to force them to live that way year after year.

[SmilensayHello]

I have the same tank! LIKE EXACTLY THE SAME!!! My betta loves the tank, but i feel my betta needs more space. I'm upgrading mine to a 2 gallon tropical fish tank. It has a light that warms the water! It also has a filter but i'm scared it might be too strong :/

I recommend that you only fill the glass half way cuz your fish could jump out. btw, He's so beautiful!!!

[everythinggirl1000]

Nice fish! Although I reommend that you change the plants because bettas could get stuck in those plastics ones

[shadowfaithx]

your aquarium is too TALL !!

betta fish doesn't like high pressure 

[MsGuitarmaniac1]

i recomed a small hang on fillter ang a small heater

[PinkPolkaify]

poor fish kept in bowl.... research b4 buying

[BettaAndHorses4Ever]

@PinkPolkaify

Some bettas are actually happy in a bowl.

[SmilensayHello]

@PinkPolkaify that isn't a bowl its a VASE! and vases make good tanks as long as they aren't too high with the water levels.

[mydeadsea]

Wow. Smart idea for that betta food. i bought the same kind the other day for my new betta and was surprised by how huge it is. I didnt think I could use it because I didnt think they'd be able to swallow it. .I'll just crush it :) smart thinkin.

[haleyweisman123]

[TheEMEPE]

[lasteve99]

how many gallons you have there? and how many times should you change the water or clean it..

[8rollin5ballz8]

@lasteve99 its about a gallon and a half. i change the water every week.

[lasteve99]

@8rollin5ballz8 25% or 50% water change?

[8rollin5ballz8]

@lasteve99 i change about 75% of his water weekly.

[EveryoneLuvzBetaFish]

@8rollin5ballz8 no its about 2 and a half gallons more than 1 

[EveryoneLuvzBetaFish]

@8rollin5ballz8 where did you get that tank?

[AnimalKeeperZone]

Beautiful Beta, i have two and i love them :)

[x858tBOiic]

are you selling him? i want your fish! :D

[8rollin5ballz8]

@x858tBOiic no i'm not selling him. he's been my fish for almost 2 years now. i've been offered 45 dollars, but i still wouldnt sell him :p

[XxBubbleBearXx]

@8rollin5ballz8 Haha how cute :) You love ur fishy!!! :D Man i have like 5, and they are boring :(

[cjboybackup]

@8rollin5ballz8 i will buy him $100

[x858tBOiic]

nice bowl! :D

[Luimeril]

very beutiful betta! looks like a Doubletail of some sort. though, the size of that bowl concerns me a bit. it looks too tall, bettas love longer spaces, rather than taller. he looked to struggle a bit to get up to the top. if you want a pretty tank to sit by your laptop, try one of the Hawkeye AquaView 360 Aquarium 2 or 3 gallons. i have one for my baby, and she loves it. and, it has lights that you can change the color of! also, a heater would make him happier!

[8rollin5ballz8]

@Luimeril he's a double tail plakat. i've had him for 1 year and a half now. & thanks for your suggestions! :D & yeah he was kinda hyper i just changed his water thats why...

[Luimeril]

@8rollin5ballz8

i LOVE doubletails! i've been trying to get one for a while. special ordered some DT halfmoons from my local pet store, but they end up being all ratty-looking when they come in. poor darlings won't be sold like that.

i love my AquaView! Chappy, my baby Halfmoon Plakat dragon girl, loves it. she hides in her java moss, or chills near her heater. she's really active!
