Welcome friends. I have been breeding bettas for the past three decades in the United States, specifically California. My father is from Laos and Thailand where he bred and raised wild splendens from the 60’s to 80’s. He’s been able to guide and shared a wealth of knowledge about bettas to me. This channel focuses on my experiences in the hobby. Enjoy!

Bottling Bettas
Переглядів 3232 роки тому
There has and will always have controversies over how bettas are bottled. I think many inexperienced people are quick to judge not knowing how much bottling a betta outweighs leaving them in a tank to attack each other. With that said, I feel that as long as the bottle is not permanent, has clean water, and feed well, he should be happy until a pet owner brings him home to a larger tank.

I have been breeding or spawning bettas going on 29 years in California, USA. I made some major mistakes, wasted time and money on unnecessary procedures, and lost a lot of bettas along the way. I wish I knew some of things I now know. Thanks to the worldwide web, you don't have to jump over some of these hurdles that I did. Please consider subscribing.

very good info thanks
How often and how do u do their water changes
Gaint bettas have shorter lifespan than normal betta?
@@sathish1525 Hi, not in my experiences. The most significant difference I’ve seen between regular and Giant bettas is the aggression. Giant males seems to hit breeding dysfunction sooner.
@@aqualoaquarium7195 can you tell me the average lifespan from you experience .thanks
Great mix for fish but not specifically for bettas. I would remove the peas and spirulina
Thanks for the information bro.
Betta spawns are designed to grow at different rates in order for the fry to not compete with each other for the same food sources. Larger fry will eat larger prey and smaller fry will eat smaller prey so it ensures no one type of prey is all decimated, leaving the betta to starve. The ones to mature later also helps with preventing inbreeding as there will be less siblings of sexual maturity to mate with. However in a tank setting, if raising baby bettas, YOU MUST seperate the larger bettas from the smaller bettas. Letting the larger eat the smaller is 'not letting nature take its course', no, its stupidity taking course. In nature the smaller bettas hide from their larger siblings until they grow big enough themselves. In a tank setting they cannot hide. Yes some cannibalism occurs in the wild and that is natural. But the fact you did nothing to help Floaty despite him struggling is sad. Especially because you raised him and knows he suffered in the end. You said Floaty was big enough to not be bothered by his siblings, while clearly showing he had a tattered tail. While he may have died first before his siblings ate him, living with larger fish clearly stressed him and caused his early death. RIP Floaty, an internet stranger cared more about you than your owner
The fact this person uploaded this without providing any insight into their mistake is telling. It's basically 'look everyone my fish got cannibalized lol'. Could have made this video better in so many ways.
My question is where are you finding a betta that's 5"???? 😂😭
Difficult. I got mines larger because we had wholesale and handpicked them. Those 4 to 5” ones were not very active and wouldn’t spawn. My guess is that they’re old. Good luck with your fish hobby.
Hello
They dont fight??! How many is that?
This video is pretty old, so I don’t recall exactly how many Bettas were in the tank. Bettas raised from fry to teen age, about 3 months old will “likely” not fight yet. Beyond 3 months, the males especially will need to be bottled, sold, or separated. One can get away with raising a sibling group (male & female) together beyond 3 months but the holding tank has to be in a very dark location and filled with tannin so they can’t really see each other. I’ve tried this method and it works but difficult to feed them because they can’t really see the food. Good luck!
Location bhj do bhai
How do you water change
I have an automatic water change system. You can see the pvc and airline hoses for each container. The same goes for the large grow out containers. Thanks for watching and happy Betta keeping.
Best informative video bro
Thanks for the helpful info step by step u got a sub. As I type this my fry’s are 1 week and 1 day old I have two giant Indian almond leaves in there that is creating infusoria for them & the water is brown with lots of tannis at 82-86 degree, i don’t think my fry’s are big enough for brine yet but they are free swimming and some are bigger then others. I don’t know when to actually start doing water changes and start switching to brine shrimp ? ?
Just watched your fry video. Congratulations on getting this far. From the camera angle, the water quality looks good. Only change water as needed. For example, if the floor is dirty, take something like a turkey baster to suck up the area then slowly add more water in. The other idea would be just to add some fresh dechlorinated water to freshen up the tank. I’m sure the tank has lost some water due evaporation especially with a heater inside it. Good luck!
@@aqualoaquarium7195 thanks for watching the video and tips, unfortunately i loss half or 75% of my fry’s. There’s infusoria in there and eel and I’m now putting in brine shrimp but I don’t see them eating. They are two week old basically so illl continue to watch them hopefully have at least 20 survivors
Thanks for the video. Even though one thing did strike as odd 😅 When you show the ammonia test and declare it to have zero ammonia, it actually does not look like zero ammonia. It definitely has a green tint and is much closer match to the pale green 0.25ppm than to that lemon yellow 0 ppm comparison color. I wonder if you are perhaps slightly color blind? 😅
Hello sir how many days we can use this same yolk to our b fry
Bro you just saved my batch as I was out of brine shrimps😢

How can I order one of your fishes?
Thank you for sharing your knowledge. I appreciate your encouragement.
Bettas are carnivores and its been debunked that peas are good for their digestive system, instead sub out peas for daphina or brine shrimp.
Can I know anything about you so I could ask my doubts?
Is there a difference in temperament between normal male bettas and Kings and Giant bettas when it comes to aggression?
Hi there, between the two, nope. They’re all call fighting fish for a reason. Enjoy your betta keeping hobby.
Bro is it ok if the water gets cloudy?
Depends if the cloud is infusoria or other stuff. Infusoria is a good thing. I’ve never experienced cloudy water with dry banana leaves. I’m assuming you left the water in the sunlight?
Oh yeah I left it in sunlight
Thanks
Nice❤😊
Can you show how you keep them all separated? Do you have 100s of tanks or do you use cups? If cups can you do a video on daily/weekly maintenance? Ty btw i subbed
Greetings! I have a detached room that can house up to 1K frys and 50 1 liter bottles. I have an automatic water change system that changes water every other day. There’s still a lot of physical maintenance that goes into everything though. When I have time, I’ll do a video on the room and my setup.
@Aqualo Aquarium hi ty for your reply 😊 id love to see a video of it. Ive been thinking about breeding betta and guppies so im trying to see how its done. Looj forward to your video😊😍
What exact heater are you using? I see it says hygger but which one and how much water is it good for? Ty
I use the 50w Hygger. It’s not so much what heater power works for what size tank. It’s where you keep your tank that’s more important. For example, if your 30 gallon tank is in the house where the room temperature is consistent at 76 degrees, you might only need a small heater. Unlike keeping that 30 gallon in the garage where it can get downwards of 35 degrees at night in North CA, you can have 2 huge heaters and they’ll run all night trying to keep the tank warm. Hope this helps.
Hello there I have a question. What is the real name of a 5 star betta?
Thanks For The Information 👍
do you breed wild bettas?
Not at the moment.
Good for you! I'm glad someone did a video about this expense and experience
Oops I've been telling my fish he's a king haha.
That’s okay. It’s not that big of a deal. Enjoy the hobby and Happy Holidays!
Man, I think your videos are really informative. I'm very greatful to have found your channel.
Don’t let petco know that. Their price is better than these other places ask $60-$100 for a giant.
I'm a little late to the game but great information. I have a beuatiful giant male that I want to breed and you amswered my exact question about breeding to a nice big reg. splendens female.
The most details video by far. Thank you. I have watched dozens of videos already. However, no one address how to clean the gunk on the bottom of the bettas tank.
Option a
I'll check the daphnia not eat good what the reason?
Please rephrase your question. I don't fully understand what you are asking about daphnia.
@@aqualoaquarium7195 I'm brought the online daphnia but my betta fry not eat the daphnia what the reason? so now ill given them infusoria this time
@@aqualoaquarium7195 I'm saying daphnia not eat ill check everyday its so big I think so
You’re correct! Daphnia is too big for newly hatched fry. Even brine shrimp is too big too. Infusoria and micro worms are small enough for the first week. Beyond that, I switch to daphnia and brine shrimp. Good luck.
How many inches water for fry ?
I'll doing same like you some fry die its very hard to keeping long time
Nice bettas ready for jarring?
Thanks Tou. Probably another month then getting separated.
We’re did you buy yours
oh wow. beautiful capture :)) let me know how the outcome was on you king babies :)
Greetings and thanks for the support. I’m on my 3rd generation breeding these giants. 1st and 2nd batches grew and been sold. Life’s been busy so I haven’t been recording videos but I’ll post one soon of the 3rd batch. They look amazing!
@@aqualoaquarium7195 question, if you breed giant betta the outcome of the fry is 50/50, meaning 50% change of getting betta fry and 50% chance to get normal betta.
@@agathatv7697 it depends on genetics. if the female and male are truly giants, you should bear higher results.
@@aqualoaquarium7195 nice! have fry now, almost 1 mo. old both giants parents. happy to hear that thanks
Noooo!!! 😭
Please make a video on how to care for giant betta sir
Greetings! Care for your giants just as you would for regular size bettas but provide a larger volume of water for the giants and more food. They’re both the same and only differ by size. Best!
Thank you
I bred a pair of galaxy koi bettas and at 6 weeks there isn't any koi coloring showing just mainly one color. Is that normal? Or will the koi color come in at 8-9 weeks?
Hi Thai, thanks for checking out my videos. Without knowing the true color genetics and bloodline, we won’t know the percentage that all or some will actually become koi like the parents. Koi bettas are usually either blue then eventually, the blue will peel off at 3 months making them cellophane. Then if the koi genes are strong, the koi color will come in around 4-6 months. Other koi genes are cellophane from juveniles to adulthood then the koi color comes in. Good luck and keep at it.
@@aqualoaquarium7195 yes they are mostly blue with red ish tail
@@thailee7549 hopefully, the blue will start disappearing and other colors will come in. Patience is the name of this game. If you want the red to be more intense, try feeding more brine shrimps. Best!
@@aqualoaquarium7195 I just posted a video on my channel, can you see if that's the cellophane stage your speaking of?? Some of my koi baby betta are getting lighter color at 2 and a half months old... thanks
@@thailee7549 Hi Thai, I just watched your video. Great video and keep posting new videos or contents on your channel if you have time. I am not seeing any of your juvenile betta peel off their blue colors but at this stage, they do remind me of how juvenile blue marble bettas look. Usually when they start changing colors, you can see solid patches of blue disappearing. Some says that it’s one of the most unattractive stages. Give them another 2-3 months and see what happens. In the meantime, can you post a video of the parents?
Thanks a lot man, this will help me to build my best betta system and avoid critical issues..
Which local betta shop in California?
it would be helpful if you put the links or item in the description.
