Вставка

- Wild betta rubra are an awesome, colorful, and belligerent little species of fish! They have given me a few batches of fry already too - aren't they adorable!? I love this new species.
Have you kept this species, or maybe something similar?

OOPS nevermind that thing at the end I totally have lots of friends, I'm sooooo cool I have lots of friends
Who has time for friends with a baby (s) latched onto you and a bathroom (+ another room) full of fish to care for! "You wanna be my friend? Cool! Come over and swaddle my infant then bounce it on your lap (oh whatever voodoo works for your newest youngest) then help me do water changes for a few hours!"
Can you recommend live plants for me? I have bettas and cory catfish that I would like to get live plants for. I am one of those people that can kill a plant by looking at it.
🤠👉👍👍👍👍👍👍👈
Can you do a video on how to make an ideal betta tank? Ive had tanks for a fee years now and i think ive been doing fairly well but im interested in at some point ordering some bettas from you and i want to make sure i set up the best way i can
I used to have lots of friends like you.
Until I took an arrow in the knee.
Awww thank you so very much for the shoutout! 🥰❤ that's so kind of u!!
"Just gives my tooth brush extra flavor for later" omg I love that
haha
These vids are so fascinating. If I was your kid these fish tanks would be a dream to grow up around.
Haha thanks! My kid lost interest a long time ago, I'm just a crazy fish lady lol
Just simply amazing! I always look forward to update videos on the betta pairs you've got!!
Thank you!
I'm so glad I found your channel!😊 I have been rescuing poor, sad, unhealthy, Bettas from my local Meijer shopping stores for about a year now. I love bringing them back to life and seeing them in their natural state and the colors are amazing! I currently have 12.😁😍
I love your fishes and your sense of humor....you make my day a happy day...
Haha thanks so much :)
Betta Rubra are beautiful! Thank you for sharing them with us. Someday I'd love a pair.
My pleasure, I hope you get some someday!
Where do I get some
😯😯 I love rubra betta fry, seeing betta fry is really satisfying.. Thank you so much for share 😃
Thank you, my pleasure :)
Lmaooooo when u said u wish your husband could have done that.. cannot stop the giggle-snort 🤣
Here honey, take this fertilized egg and take care of it for the next 9 months!
Beautiful babies .....you and Lisa are the betta whisperers 💙😊
Haha thanks Melissa
You are a ball of energy. Can't wait to see how the fry turns out
I love yore planted 10 gallon tanks behind you so pretty and yore fish room is so cool✨✨✨✨✨👌
Im from the Philippines, Im a beginner when it comes to betta fish. Ive been enjoying and learning new things. Thank you and God bless! Hope to visit there in my dreams hahaha
Ahh, love the Rubras! And the HOB polishing is such a great idea, definitely going to borrow that one. My favorite part may be the ending though, I feel you there 😆
Hah!
Thanks, I get lazy when it comes to mulm. It's harmless but... ugly ;)
@@SimplyBetta Same! I made those diy hang on siphons to help with water changes...but the mulm....where is the auto gravel vac?? Aqua Roomba needed 😆
DaniDoesLife gasp gotta go patent that now
@@SimplyBetta oooo....like one of those auto pool cleaners but for tanks...ooo...we need a prototype!!
Always a pleasure to watch your video, your passion for Betas overflows. God Bless.
Thank so much @Parrot Bill ;)
They’re lovely! Hoping they ship well, and make it into the shipping rotation in the spring ❤️
I hope so too!
Loving the frequent uploads and each video is getting better and better!!
Thank you! Summers are SO hard for me since there is no preschool and I pretty much am a servant to my child and baby all dang day. But I'm getting some breaks now and feeling good ;)
Such pretty fish! I love the red splashes of color. Can't wait to see the fry as they grow out.
I really like the bright red color, too! Man, so pretty. Hey you might be getting something small in the mail
Oh my gosh. Penny!
Ty for all ur advice
Ty for watching ;)
Np
You can also put a fine sponge over that mechanical filter uptake to prevent any fry getting sucked up during the water polishing.
Thanks so much for your content! My husband and I are new to the hobby and I love bettas! Your channel is one of my favorites ever since I saw the video about the sorority you sent to Lisa from KG Tropics.
I love your videos and I love creative pet keeping too. You ladies have helped me out so much with keeping my bettas.
😊
Wow, these fish are fantastic! Love what you do! ❤️ and to the fish... Bulb bulbbly.
Thanks for watching and liking them! :D blubblub
They are so cool I would like to keep some in the future I think it would be awesome to have a big tank of them all together!
Yeah, that is the plan!
Yay I have finally located my betta rubra pair!!! I get them in 2 weeks🙂👍🏻⭐️

They are so cute! I love them!!!! They are so pretty!!!!! I can't wait to finally get my female beta soon! I have dreamt for so long of having a femal koi betta and I think i am finally going to set up a 5 gallon tank and get her!
Well boys, we found it. The most wholesome channel on UA-cam.
I really only like to keep Angelfish and Rams but the wild type bettas are really intriguing. I definitely want to get some macrostoma thanks to your video. :)
Those fry look great. Your fish room looks great, too. You are awesome, as is your channel. Consider me, and all of your viewers, as friends 😁😁❤️🌹
Aww thank you
2:01 SPOOKED HIM

Simply Betta he is a big jerk though

I love your videos they are super pleasant to watch and so unpretentious keep it up my friend 😜😊😂
Awww thank you. Just don't watch my "fancy pond" video hahah
This is for those of you who read comments and love bettas. Male and female bettas will chase a laser light just like a cat. I have all females and my sister has a male and they all love to attack that laser light.
*gasp* I need to try this
Some of them like to push around a pingpong ball. They are very social and love attention. I really enjoy my bettas.
I'm breeder from indonesia, your bettas so beauty😍
More baby,More baby Betta^_^
Im a big fan of you 😍 i really like blue marble plakat and its my bday i hope i can buy one i wish u luck simply betta😄😄
Another interesting betta is the betta simplex 👍👍
Great videos👍☺
Thank you :)
im just getting started today and you honestly motivate me
OK I love your channel and enjoy your videos. Regarding your issue with betta macrostoma. And if this is something you already are aware of please accept my apologies. Literally 25 years ago I purchased a trio of mouth brooding giant bettas they were huge and basically a dull green colour. They came in as contaminants to my LFS, Who imported fish directly to get certain rarities. Tentative identification was betta patoti And they were huge every bit of four and half inches. But we never were sure and the male Swallowed his eggs constantly just before they were big enough to Move out. Eventually I successfully produced several broods and distributed them through my aquarium society so hopefully they're still out there somewhere. The problem was the female would get gravid, And the mail would swallow the eggs he had so that he could mate again. The simple and obvious solution although it didn't occur to me until quite awhile was to remove the female as soon as the mail was holding eggs. Again this is obvious or something you already trying I apologise but just thought I would mention it.
Hi Eric, thanks for the comment! Removing the female is something I've tried many times and it doesn't seem to make a difference in how long he holds the eggs, but you're very right - that can be an issue! Especially if the female starts pestering the male to breed again
Hey, |I think mine are betta rubra too! I hasve a sorority of 6 and they look just like your's. I learned something today. lol
Oh really! Where did you get them?
Simply Betta I am in London, UK. My local pet store had no Males which I was looking for as my first Beta but they did have some females. 6 in one tank. I asked why they looked different to the usual picture of Betas I had seen? They told me that they were babies... lied to me basically and I believed them! Lol. But it’s been a couple of months now and they haven’t grown. Then I saw your video and it all made sense! They’re Rubra. 😋
Looks like a fun like species.
It is, I like them!
Great video. You have a friend in me.💧🌿👍😄
Aww thanks
Yay 😃 first! Amazing fish
Im firat
*first
7:28 🤣 do it again on every video😂
Haha ok, when I have videos with babies :P
Nice video , btw I have one little tips about Betta fish
Place Betta fish tank at dark place
For the macrostoma?
Awe man, I wish you had these on your website! I just ordered the Mahachai pair this morning!!! ❤❤❤
YAY! I'll be emailing you shortly then. I hope to have some adults on my site next spring when the weather gets nice again ;)
@@SimplyBetta what is your website?
Awwwww cute species ❤️
Agreee!!
My Rubras have not bred yet, but hopefully, these tips will help. Thanks!
Good luck!
I mean here in Kerala the temperature is warm most of the time and never too cold for these lil guys.
I wish I lived in a warmer place sometimes :)
Just got Betta Albimarginata reverse trio and have bred 2 days ago.
I love ur vids
@@SimplyBetta aww ty.. U made me breed my bettas.. They are so precious
Hiya, any info for the custom sealing lids? All I can find leak air

Aww thank you
B rubra is one I have been wanting but never kept. After this I see I might have to correct that soon!
Love that 0:20
Also thanos chin 2:20
Hah!
That's awesome. I've been watching your channel ever since I was still in California. Awesome projects that you have as always. I actually moved to Indonesia, just let me know if you need any betta fish. I may be able to find them for you. So many choices ....well, not only betta. Any tropical fish. Take care.
That is very kind of you :)
Great video! Do you know if the plakat betta, has the shortest fin? I have a dragon scale that fins are too big and can't swim properly so I wanted to know which ones are more like the wild, so my next betta won't have that problem.
👏👏👏
Sis can I raise Betta Fry's just by feeding infusoria for first 3 days and microworm for another 1 month
Eagerly waiting for u ❤️❤️
Love from india
Thanks so much!
Loved that fish since I saw Geanne's video on hers! Where is Geanne anyway?
Cheers,
Chris
That’s how I first got interested too! She is a full-time biology teacher now so she doesn’t have much time to make videos anymore ;)
For your next mouth brooder, I highly recommend betta patoti. They are from the same unimaculata complex as macrostoma, but seem to be less picky. About the size of a macrostoma, but rather than the red color, they get an orange color with black vertical stripes. They replaced macrostoma as my favorite large wild type when I was able to actually get them to do their job and not eat their babies like macrostoma do.
Thanks for the recommendation! I do think their coloration is lovely. How are their aggression levels?
@@SimplyBetta Very similar temperament to rubra. I keep the pairs together including fry for most of the time. The first few spawning go rounds, I pulled the female. Not due to any aggression, mostly just to remove distractions from the male so he would be less likely to eat the fry before spitting them out. I eventually do pull the fry out, but mostly to give them more space to grow out. In my experience, they are on the curious side of wild type bettas instead of the skittish side so once they get comfortable with their tank, they come up to the front when you are near.
Mitchell Broome great to know! 🥰
I just got a new betta fish looks just like my first betta that died years ago hopefully he lives for a long time just like my original did
Now I have 1 male and 1 female
Pozdrawiam serdecznie Panią👍👍👍👍👍🌹🌹☺
will they fit in a 4gal bio orb with some tiny fish?
I love ur channel and u mostly I’m trying to vlog with my fishes but nowhere near u though
Thank you! I started small too :)
Hey I have a question regarding my Betta Tank! So I have a Crescent shaped tank. It’s circular on one side and flat on the other, I wondered if this will cause my fish stress just like a bowl would? It’s a 3 Gallon and I’ve been worrying if it’s bad for her eyesight
I like the way you do your videos. They are cute and informative, or maybe informative and cute. One or the other! Could you explain the difference in the betta complexes and which types of wild bettas are within those complexes. I would love to know more, but different people call bettas different names. And am having a hard time trying to learn about this. I don't feel it would be that hard to learn, would it? Something to think about! Thank you.
You're too kind, thank you @roland rees - Type in "betta species by complex" into google and it should give you an IBC website link that groups up different species :)
Will you be adding new bettas for sale to your website soon? I'd love to purchase one from you!
I love you❤️
How long do they live for? Are they like the splenders?
I've been assuming they live longer than splendens, especially because of the cooler water temperatures they like. I don't have enough experience with them to make a statement though!
Where do you buy those betta
may i know how are these wild betta to determine its maturiy age ? TQ
Hi! What substrate buffer are you using?
I use brightwell florin volcanit substrate:)
So many betta species we can’t get here in New Zealand - I love them and I’m so jealous. Love your videos.
Dang! That's too bad Karen
What are the red floating plants in the parent tank? So pretty
Red root floaters! They're great - they can be green but turn brillian red with little white flowers under a high light and enough nutrients :)
Are you going to keep them as is or would you consider selective breeding them too?
I will selectively breed in a sense - I'll keep the fastest growing fry and hopefully the most colorful. These are wild caught fish, so selective breeding "improved" ones would be quite the project and require many generations of selecting for traits. It is a pipe dream at the moment until I get more space ;P
What I want to know is,
Would it be possible to breed different mouth brooding betta?
Let's say a betta rubra male with a betta macrostoma female, I'm not sure how aggressive betta rubra males are, but I do know that betta macrostoma male are extremely aggressive and territorial.
So i just got a new betta today for my ten gallon tank. Is it normal for him to just hide in the cave in his tank? He won’t come out. This is my first ever fish so i am kinda inexperienced. Thank you!
Any fry left to purchase??
