  • the only thing that guy knows is that bettas are fish and not birds

  • OR you could stop preaching to me as if i'm a child. and when you say easy to keep in a small bowl you mean very frequent total water changes, inability (or at least stunted ability) to have a filter/heater, horrifically small living space for a living, breathing creature. when you say rice paddy do you even realize how flippin huge they are? thousands of feet wide in some places, which means the fish has almost infinite space to inhabit. I know your intentions are pure but seriously. no.

  • 0:19 really i didnt think we had to set it up with water

  • can you use filtered water?

  • Well....that was enlightening.... :D

  • He forgot mostly the basics betta fish are tropical so they most likely need a heater and also for plants and decorations you dont use sharp or hard because it will damage the betta's fin and fish are most likely not to be kept in bowls.

  • should be called fish and aquarium abusing: how to kill and torcher a betta.

  • @TheMyameeGirl Lol stupid me, sorry about that. XD

  • @123FishCrazy I know. I meant that I'd like to put the GUY in a bowl... not the fish. Unless, of course, you're talking about the guy...lmao!

  • Watching this gives me a headache. What you REALLY need for a betta is:

    1. At least a five gallon tank.

    2. A heater.

    3. A filter.

    4. Lots of hiding spots and plants.

    5. Glavel.

    6. Clean, safe water.

  • @TheMyameeGirl They can't go in bowls and live more then a few months.

  • I'd like to put him in a bowl...
