  • Number 1: You shouldn't keep the betta in such a small tank, sorry bowl!

    Number 2: You shouldn't tip the betta in to another tank cause it shocks them!

    Number 3: You should'nt clean all of the bowl out because the benificial bacteria in the water helps the fish's growth and health and it will just kill the fish if you empty all the water out.

    Number 4: ALSO do a hal or quarter water change twice a week instead of 1 once a week

    Number 5: Get a bigger bowl!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • "Fish & Aquarium Care : How to KILL a Betta Fish" enjoy. ò.ó

  • i heard that fish died shortly after the video..

  • Bettas are much more active and happier in an aquarium. No bowls!

  • 'Oh hey my betta is in a proper bowl!' Yea right dickhead imagine livin in a coffin for ur whole life... thatll be fun, yea?

  • If a person room temp changes how do u keep a fish not stress? Do can u skip a mean for beta fish to regulate their diet?

  • Oh gosh hunny get that poor fish out of that tacky bowl and get a propper tank, LIKE THE ONE TO THE RIGHT!??! why punish the betta fish in that bowl!!

  • 'give him a good talk' ahhaha...........

  • listen guys if your not okay with bowls the screw off he does i did and mine lived for 5 years i know you guys want to show off and be experts but come on just give em a break they are just trying to make a vid

  • I know i am going to get like 1000 thumbs down but here it goes... i saved him from a petstore, his name is gilbert. I keep him in about a 1 gallon bowl with real aponogeton that I grew and a decoration thing i bought. All i can do is the gallon bowl and i do what i can with the restrictions i have. In my opinion this is way better than a petstore sooo... yeah btw its the happiest fish i have ever met

  • smallest bowl ever! how cruel!!
