    • @Prowlsgurl
      @Prowlsgurl 9 років тому

      NikkiPhamxx Can you not do math? 10 gallon tank/ 4 bettas = 2.5 gallons per fish. That's the bare MINIMUM. I have two males with separate five gallons to themselves and they love the room. I honestly think not only is it too small for these bettas, but they are all sharing the same water aka filth. I hope you have good filtration for these guys.

    • @itzanikkihere
      @itzanikkihere 9 років тому

      -.- thats's kind of rude of asking "do I know math"...

    • @itzanikkihere
      @itzanikkihere 9 років тому

      "Can you do not do math"... Rude.

    • @Prowlsgurl
      @Prowlsgurl 9 років тому

      You can't do English either apparently. And it's true because otherwise you would know the gallons is not a bunch of room for these fish. I have one in a 20 gallon by himself and he uses all the space. So learn math, learn how to write, and learn about fish.

    how gorgeous they all are! i hope someday to have a collection as stunning as these. i only have 3 at the moment (one mustard gas delta, one yellow/dragon super delta, and one mustard gas rosetail) and i can't wait to get some more as time goes on and breed them once they reach reproductive maturity.
    stay awesome!

  • @trickytails6531
    @trickytails6531 9 років тому

    @kent peligrino As far as I know, they will. If you're planning on breeding Bettas, then keep the fry in a 55-75 gallon tank and when you notice they are starting to get nasty with one another, separate them into their own tanks/jars but keep them close to the community tank with their brothers and sisters. I have heard that they can get depressed when suddenly taken from their family.

  • @meggrotte4760
    @meggrotte4760 6 років тому

    I love all betta's living in Taiwan you predominantly find veiltails male and female but female is kind of rare. You can if you occasionally find Crown Tales there is not a large selection of betta's in Taiwan. Also you can't find freeze dried bloodworms almond leaves and Omega one betta food which I really like. And they don't sell large acrylic tanks they think that betta's don't need a lot of space so since I don't like glass because they're heavy I prefer to use large acrylic critter keepers which actually work really well each of my tanks have a filter and air pump and I asked my sister to mail me betta heaters that plug in directly because the heaters they sell in Taiwan they need to regulate with the temperature of the water and the room and it doesn't allow me to keep my water stable which is probably why out of 7 betta's for died from fin rot..
    I also noticed that every time I told the owners in the pet store that my fish had for fin rot at the beginning stages they didn't believe me so they wouldn't allow me to purchase antibiotics. they said as long as they're eating and not staying in one part of the tank they're healthy and fine but they're coloring and the way their fins look terrible.

    Awesome video. I hope to do another spawn soon. Although it's been years since I've done one. I am raising a juvenile that I got as a Baby Betta as well. I have a video if you care to see what he looks like. I'm curious to know and love the excitement of not knowing what he could turn out to be. Haha.

    • @lovelybettas
      @lovelybettas  7 років тому

      Thanks! Yea I love watching the little ones grow and marble! What are you planning on breeding? I have a couple spawns myself that I'm selling, you can check them out @lovelybettas on Instagram. Best of luck!

    • @KuyaCraig
      @KuyaCraig 7 років тому

      Lovely Bettas I am planning on breeding two Marble hmpk and have a koi line, but since they have steel blue iridescence I am crossing my fingers on getting a few fry that can potentially get me to a black hmpk or piebald black hmpk branch.

  • @CODgamer512

    i have to say beautiful bettas but the first one in this vid looked more like a super delta tail than a halfmoon

    • @lovelybettas
      @lovelybettas  10 років тому

      Thanks, but he is a halfmoon plakat. You have no say in what tail type he is, as you have not even seen him flare.

    • @CODgamer512
      @CODgamer512 10 років тому

      all i said was he looked more like a super delta than a halfmoon to me but when super deltas flare they look like a halfmoon to be a real halfmoon they have to have the 180 spread all the time

    • @kevinpeterson1147
      @kevinpeterson1147 10 років тому

      Joey, you have no idea what you are talking about.

    • @CODgamer512
      @CODgamer512 10 років тому +1

      ok before i start let me say something i have quit breeding bettas for one reason, it got boring. Yes i know what i am talking about for a betta to be classified as halfmoon it has to have a 360 dergree spread all the time anything under that is a super delta tail or a delta tail anything over is a Ovhm or a rosetail, and from what i saw the betta in question did not have a 360 degree spread so hell if you want to think i dont have a clue as to what im talking about go ahead but i assure you that if took that betta to a show and entered it into the halfmoon competition it would get put into the delta tail/super delta tail section because it does not have a 360 degree spread at all times, and thats the end of that as i said before im done with breeding bettas so if anyone reading this copuld please not comment on it anymore because i am done with being addicted to betta fish

    @markquadrozzi3384 8 років тому

    great fish and awesome group of babies. is there really a difference between the shapes of "butterfly tail, delta, and half moon"? if so, could someone explain the finage difference that I am missing? Thanks.

    • @lovelybettas
      @lovelybettas  7 років тому

      Mark Quadrozzi Super late reply! But a halfmoon is an 180 degree spread on the tail and delta is less than 180. Butterfly is a coloration where the color in the fins is divided into 2 colors.

    Hi, my male betta doesn't want to pick up the fallen eggs, there are few on the nest (apporx : 30 to 40 eggs). The female still has a big belly and started to hide. I kept them together for almost 36 hours. I had to remove the female since they were ignoring each other. Could you please advice. Cheers.

    • @user-ev2df5yf6l
      @user-ev2df5yf6l 8 років тому

      You can actually stop the male and female from continuously breeding because they stop to pick up a few eggs each time before they keep going. Just take away the female after the male humps her more than once (if desired)

    I have a mustard gas halfmoon that looks alot like yours! I do think you should really upgrade to a larger tank. 4 fish in a 10 gallon sounds really uncomfortable, and I thought 3 was kinda pushing it. I have a 10 gallon that is only divided in 2 sections

    • @kara1301
      @kara1301 9 років тому

      I'm not sure what exactly he has in it but you can use multiple things to make their water either more similar to their natural habitat such as tannic acids or to release chemicals that are antibacterial or good for growth/breeding etc. This is particularly useful with either wild caught species or larger/fragile fins such as the halfmoons, crowntails, feather... You can use things like indian almond leaves or teak tree leaves and it's more sightly to some to put them in tea bags as you can then just stick it in the filter if you don't like the cluttered leaves look (or if you want to regulate an exact amount each time).
      One such teabag is Tantora Betta spa.

      females are a little less aggressive than males.

      Its because females are more likely to luv with each other than males. It doesn't mean females are less aggressive than males tho

      +XAUMUX NighTSUN (ArcadecontrollerZ9) Females have a white dot on their vent (near da booty) called an eggspot. And they have shorter fins, normally, a more central face and will be a little smaller.

      Make sure you have a tank suitable for it 2-5 gallon or more, have a live plant or a couple of fake silk plants so he has something to rest on, have different foods for him (brine shrimp, pellets, flakes, bloodworms), make sure he has a heater mat designed especially for bettas ( can be found at petco, petsmart etc) and lastly make sure he has somewhere to hide like a pot or some sort of decor. Hope this helped :)

      Wow. I should have done some research before i got a betta.

      Absolutly! When I was a newbie I didn't know what awesome personalities they have. Ive always seen them in a small bowl just sitting at the top with clamped fins looking sad. I did not know that they needed a heater, more space and more frequent water changes. Ive since got a gently filtered tank with a heater and my Betta loves me for it. He's always happy to see me when I walk by.

    Omg, your bettas are absolutely *gorgeous*! I would love a betta fish room. I have an extra room but I'm not sure if I would be aloud to use it for fish since it's the guest room. I'll see. :)
