These bettas are so beautiful. I have a red female veil tail named Wanda, got her for five bucks at petsmart. She is so beautiful to me, but she is a very common color. ❤️🥰 love her all the same!
Java moss is great at absorbing fish waste. I had a 10 gallon I was using to grow out 4 baby lake Malawi cichlids and it had a giant ball of Java moss in the middle of the tank they’d swim around and through. My water parameters were always perfect and the PH never dropped below 7.8. I never had to do water changes for that tank, just harvest Java moss. All I had for filtration was a whisper J hang on back. This was years ago before tetra bought whisper.
I use jars that same size and they are fine even long term if you set them up with plants like you are doing. I even use a very small sponge filter in some of my jars of that same size. Also since it looks like you are using almond leaves that will prolong the time between water changes. I also keep a large 50 plus gallon tank where I keep all my water for water changes. I set the water parameters etc.. in the stock tank so all I need to do is syphon out the wastes and replace the water using the stock tank. After doing this for awhile I really think using large tanks are over rated. I think many keepers feel this way but are afraid to say it out of fear of being attacked on social media. I use a really small Betta display tank with clear water when I want to photograph them. And then return them to their dark water after filming.
I do the same thing with my grow out containers. Mine are 1.5 gallon containers with a mini sponge filter and floating plants. I do use a turkey baster to remove the betta "bombs" (💩) everyday. They cycled pretty easily and I only need to water change every two weeks. Glad to see someone else doing sponge filters in containers. 😊🐟🌱
Excellent! A small piece of lava rock or a few pieces of bio type filter media would also be enough to host beneficial bacteria to help keep jars cycled, but would still allow for easy cleaning and maintenance. 😊
The jars are great! I love the way the different colors of cardstock look behind and between the jars. Maybe when you get more jars try to jot down what you do with them. If they cycle, and the next group cycles you may be able to identify how it happens. Love to you and Littlefoot. I have a kitty (my late daughter’s little girl) who is 13 and dealing with a nasal cavity tumor. I’m doing “hospice” care. All we can do is love them and make things as easy as possible for them. I can tell how much you love animals. I’m sorry you and Littlefoot are going through this.
I got these at Walmart but getting them individually is not very cost affective. In the future I want to look into ordering jars in bulk as long as that are 1 gal or maybe bigger.
I would love to buy one from you!!!! I've been watching your videos for quite some time I've been watching you also for quite some time I just love love how you take care of your babies your work ethics in taking care of them is outstanding!!!!! I've also kept bettas before. I had a king male betta for 6 years that's right 6 years his name was Beethoven he was my baby and that was 2 years ago and I think I'm ready to give a beautiful home beautiful life to another betta.... Anyways if I'm going to go ahead and get a beta I definitely will get it from you how can I go about buy one from you if you don't mind me asking please......
Hi! 😊 I'm happy to hear you would like one of my bettas! I presell them to my patreon supporters at patreon.com/creativepetkeeping (I currently have a special deal where this is available to all tiers vs just the betta buddy tier) and the remaining bettas will be sold on my website www.creativepetkeeping.com I will post a video announcing this so if you have notifications turned on, you won't miss it 😉
Once the Bettas go to their new home, you could try putting a ramshorn snail in each jar to keep the cycle going. Not sure if it will actually work but worth a try lol
That is an interesting idea but I think I will put the jars away and take a break. I always seem to take short breaks in between betta spawns to look back on what I did ...see if there is something I can learn..and plan for the next spawn. I would like to continue to keep the cycyles going in the jars but I would be too lazy to keep up with the waterchanges if there was just a ramshorn in there.
Thanks for sharing this. Can you provide the link to the type of jars that you used? I saw your note that you got his from Walmart. I'm just trying to get the right one since I like the dimensions of the jars you're using. Thanks
I'm having the worst possible time just finished following the method for euthanizing with clove oil I use the amount of drops you recommend but my fish is still acting like he's awake and I've added more and more and he still raises his head I don't know what to do this is horrible
Did you watch Jennies video tutorial? I mention it in my video because she demonstrates how to do it. Here is the link: ua-cam.com/video/vWtEmGrLSN0/v-deo.html Also, I'm very sorry to hear you have to euthanize your fish.
She is still ok..but slowly getting worse. I've been spoiling her as much as possible but I'm not sure how much time we have left. Some days are good some days are bad..but she is still eating and the pain killer is still keeping her comfortable enough. I'll try to do a better job of updating everyone on her.
Separating bettas in individual containers is called jarring bettas (regardless of the container type) so I just call it that out of habit. I'm so used to it that I don't realize I say it anymore 😅
I can’t explain it, but I work at a fish store and tested our water after not doing a water change for 3-4 days on our betta cups (about 2-3x petsmart cups). The parameters came up similar to a cycled tank, despite us using 100% clean water, no nitrates in our tap or the RO system. (We mix RO and tap, our Ph is 8.3 out of the tap)
#18 the red girl looks sooo cute! she reminds me of like strawberry shortcake!! nice job on your cycled jars
😊 Thanks for the videos
Well done! And yes, that one pair of fish would probably make some really pretty babies! ❤❤❤

Ahhhh my new betta male is named cosmo and he’s blue ! We’re looking for a red female to call Wanda 🤣 how cool !

They were in there, without needing a water change, well into adulthood and actually started to breed.
I would love to visit your place!!!! Great video 👍 thanks for posting 😊
At 4:18 I'd call that a Red Tuxedo like we do for guppies.
Nice jars! They look so fresh.
That is cool! The babies have grown up so pretty.
I got my jars cycled too. I think plants and natural light help or maybe because i use the jar long enough
Nice

@@cyndicombs1419 I use a baster as well.
I found a smaller baster that works so much better than the standard size basters.
Id like to know what kind of containers y'all are using and where y'all got them from. Thanks
@@kelly2423 the Lady said that she bought some at Walmart.
I love the panda one and the one you showed right after.
I have two more of them and they are all so cute!

Betta fish, which don’t eat and poop a lot, Live plants to eat the ammonia- 🤷🏿♂️makes sense to me. 😁Good job!

Where did you get those containers? I breed bettas as well and I like these jars!

Too bad shipping to the Netherlands is not very viable. The girl with the red tail looks great.

@@CreativePetKeeping also I ALWAYS have my notification on when it comes to you ......
Always glad to have your updates, even though at heart I'm a Banana fan, lol! 🐾🦁
Maybe the plants helped with cycling, because it gave a surface for bacteria to grow on and naturally helps reduce ammonia??
I think that the plants played a big part in stabilizing and cycling the jars for sure.
Once the Bettas go to their new home, you could try putting a ramshorn snail in each jar to keep the cycle going. Not sure if it will actually work but worth a try lol
That is an interesting idea but I think I will put the jars away and take a break.

I see her!!!! Her name is Samantha from 16 candles since her number is 16....❤❤❤
The humidity of that room must be high I just observed from the video. (Plants, water) I might be wrong. But is it somewhere around greater than 60%?
Those panda 🐼 bettas are very unique I haven’t seen them before
Great effort 🤝
Thank you
I can't wait for Taylor to do her's.

Ciao, ogni quanto cambi l'acqua dei barattoli? E ph? Grazie ....
Pretty ❤️❤️
It is called red panda 4:17
Nice setup thanks
How big are those jars?
💙💙
Wow! That’s so cool!I should probably do that too :)
I sent you an email if you don’t mind.
are they plastic jar or glass?
Plastic. I would love to get glass ones if I could find them or make my own mini glass jarring tanks oneday.

Foe some reason I don't get your uploads on recommend
Wher did the jars come from??
I got then at Walmart
I have a beta to how many do you have
Why are you calling them jars when they are made of plastic?
Separating bettas in individual containers is called jarring bettas (regardless of the container type) so I just call it that out of habit. I'm so used to it that I don't realize I say it anymore 😅
a betta needs at least 5 gallons and a filter, smh
