LJ Aquatics Yeah, I would love him anyways. He is gorgeous. With all the new fin types and colors I hope someone eventually gets fish like him that won't marble. Can you imagine what people would pay?? I have a little yellow, white, and black plakat but he is mostly black now. That is how the big bouncy ball bounces. ... It is fun watching them change though.
@LJ Aquatics Yeah, marble bettas tend to change colors throughout their lives, and tend to turn solid colors as they age. It isn't guaranteed though,. people are breeding them for the colors to be permanent. That is what Koi bettas are, but those ones don't have blue
Just wow... they are all stunning fish. I get my first two bettas this week... a pair of dragon bettas. Which means that I will have to get on my bike and get my dual aquascaped tank setup sorted out and get them into it.
That blue and white is probably the coolest betta I've ever seen.YES!! Spawn the crap out of that fish! Sometimes your "step" fishies have got to be your favorite right?
The blue and white male is gorgeous! Congrats to bigcitybettas for the find. This is also the first time I’ve seen someone getting some of the ‘wilds’, pretty cool. Thanks for sharing! It’s always great to see what variations are out there and BCBs was also probably relieved to see that their fish arrived ok. PS- I also think that it is pretty great of you to agree to fish-sit. Kudos!
Its amazing how gorgeous these betta patterns have gotten over the last 10 years or so, I remember when I was a kid and you could only find red bettas and there was no tail variants either. Females were hardly available either and if they were the coloration was usually fairly plain, but now the females are (in my opinion) more gorgeous than the males often times.
@@SimplyBetta Yes guppies as well! Both species now have so many distinct color variations it's hard for me to even keep them straight. I have some Endlers myself which are confused with guppies quite often, a few of the ones I have like blue stars or red bars are considered a semi-wild (bred for their colors) strain, but then I also have some rainbow tiger endlers which were bred with guppies, they're 1" or smaller like an Endler but have a spotted pattern like some fancy guppies do. A lot of people online seem to dislike these types of fish that're bred for brilliant colors and they'll say they look gaudy, but in my opinion these colors were always hiding under the surface of the fish and in captivity that beauty can shine through without fear of predators.
Simply Betta im hoping to spawn my koi pair once they are of age for the first time. I'm excited! Only missing some microworms at this point. The youtuber fish community gave me inspiration and proper information to feel confident enough to give this a try :) love your videos!
I want to say I’m so happy I found your channel! I don’t breed bettas but I love finding channels of people who have a passion for breeding and caring for animals that aren’t commonly kept and bred by most people. I personally breed a few different species of snakes and English show mice. I love watching your videos while tending to my own critters. And I applaud you for not letting naysayers who don’t understand how we may keep our animals and call us cruel get to you (I keep mice in plastic bins in a rack system) Also I would have totally kept that marble boy for myself, holy wow he’s beautiful! I look forward to your future videos!
Hi @RH_Factor Reptiles, I appreciate the comment! I do get a lot of flack for my setup and it used to bother me - doesn’t anymore though. Now I realize that most people either don’t realize I have a breeding setup or they don’t know what that really entails. I don’t know a lot about snakes, but I love mice! What variety do you breed? I really want a hairless mouse, or one of those Hereford fancy mice. They’re so dang adorable.
Simply Betta I do breed Herefords! Only chocolate though right now and I’m still trying to build my numbers back up. I had a horrible outbreak of some pneumonia strain go through my mice two months ago. I think my newest rat brought it in. Rats are far more resilient and I had no idea. Anywho besides Herefords I bred pure English champagne, chocolate, black, black tan, and chocolate tan and I’m using show stock to create a show line of agouti, cinnamon, and blue agouti with little pet shop mice I started with. I’m really impressed at much improvement a few generations made but still much work to do!
Simply Betta what state are you in again? If you’re close enough I’d definitely love to give you some Herefords once I get more and everyone is healthy again!
Oh man, sorry about your mice! Man That’s awful. I think it’s really cool you have Herefords, I love their little white faces! Ad the chocolate tans - is that the dark mouse with the tan tummies? I’m in Idaho, I want some mice! Maybe when the weather warms up this spring?
Simply Betta Unfortunately I am in Georgia and we cannot ship mice through FedEx like fish and snakes :( they must be shipped via air and it can be pricey. I will ask the mouse club members if there is a breeder close to you though :) and yes, tans have beautiful rich red/orange bellies with any standard top coat color. My favorite are black tans. The contrast on a show quality black tan is breathtaking!
My betta, Snow, was the same color as your white and blue. I fell in love with him because of his color. I went on a trip and was gone for about a week and a half and I came back and he was dark blue. He stayed that color. He is healthy. This happened 7 months ago. He is a funny boy. He loves when I come to his tank and visit him. He has never flared up at me like my others have. He seems to be more of a loving fish then a fighter. I dont know if fish can get lonely but he seems to act weird when I dont visit him.
I had a normal veiltail once but she was beautiful. Her body was a very pale (almost whitish yellow) peach color, her fins were yellow, and she had the most bizarre trait of purple flecks on her sides. She stayed in a tank with a male half moon betta that was dark green and black with mint colored lower fins. They never fought and even had a system of eating food. She ate the food that was at the bottom and he ate the food at the top. I still think that agreement between them was funny :P
O.M.G. If you DO spawn that gorgeous white/blue - Plllllllllllllleaaaaaaaaase plan on selling me one of the males. I have a female that would work PERFECTLY with one of his babies. Well.. Since she's (hopefully) in there spawning right now, it would be one of her daughters.. but oh man. I am totally in love with that blue!
Isn't he gorgeous? Haha, I'm going to spawn him either to a solid royal blue female or a red/blue female with a little red wash on her. Or.... BOTH. Bwahaha
The blue and white one is gorgeous and all three look beautiful. Here we don't own any fish, but we have some wild fish that live in the ditches in our neighborhood after a flooding from heavy from a hurricane. I thought they would die after a wile, especially after the summer heat, but they are still here. They look like the first female fish shown in the video, but very pale kinda transparent looking and the older ones have a black spot on their lower front. So small and tiny xd
Do you have a species in mind? I have some smaragdina guitar pairs, and hopefully soon I'll have some mahachai. Big City Bettas is working on apiapi (now extinct in the wild) and she will have mahachai and some more varieties in the future. The Wet SPot Tropical Fish has some varieties on occasion. Just depends on what you're looking for : )
Extinct in the wild sounds both exciting and sad :( I still need to do some research on them. Are they like your normal pet store bettas where males have to be kept separate?
It is very sad, but the more people raising them in captivity means a higher chance of the species surviving after all! Just like the white cloud minnow. WIlds are a little more forgiving than domestic bettas, they can usually be kept in pairs or a small group.
I'm gonna have a bunch of aquariums to full here soon. and the wilds have caught my attention as of late. So...yeah, I really want one. I'll contact you when I get some of my new tanks in and ready.
Hey these are beautiful fish and great packaging!! Are you able to share the company that they were purchased from I would love to take a look myself I’ve always had Bettas and just love their personalities!
Question (and forgive me if you covered this in a previous video): how do you cycle your tanks? The domestic bettas remind me of those fancy department store floral bedsheets -- they are beautiful.
I like the comparison! For my big tanks I cycle the old fashioned way: seed a filter with used filter media and let it run on a tank with no fish in it. Add waste to decay and create ammonia and wait for the cycle to finish
Wow. Those are some beautiful fish! I'll bet it's gonna be tough to see them go. I'm curious to see what happens if you decide to try spawning her male with on of your females. ☺️
Oh my gosh that white and blue one is stunning.
Man I want one so bad now so beautiful
Keshia Decker xx
the white and blue.its call blue rim betta the famous and expensive beta fish.the price its almost 5000 us $ a pairs.
I have it if you want. Simply WhatsApp me at +60192007414
@@saptowinarno1103 I have it
That blue marbled one is incredible!! You should totally breed him!!
yeah, I was drooling over him, he's a pretty one!!
That white marble one is the reason I came 😭🙏
Oh wow, those white and blue bettas are gorgeous ! I’m sure you’re a great nanny
They’re gorgeous! Love the marble plakat beautiful markings.
Yes, so lovely!
Yea that is definitely a beautiful fish. Spawn that bad boy 😀
Plakat means betta fish
So you can call him a marble ^^
Tristanosaurus plakat is a tail type
@@SimplyBetta Where did she get these beautiful fish?
I feel the pain. I need more snacks too.
I love the way they taped up the corners, I always worry about fish getting trapped in those and getting squished
Yeah it is such a good idea, I do that now too
your great! i appreciate it because im a betta breeder as well
Wow another great pinoy youtuber
I now you
The blue and white one is amazing. He is so vibrant.
ua-cam.com/video/ZJLCdlbcA2Q/v-deo.html
When she grabbed the silver wrapping abruptly after saying “ it looks good” at around 3:43, I thought she had grabbed a fish😂
Beautiful fish, I'd be tempted to keep them too..
Hopefully big city Betta is doing okay... And can make videos again soon. Very nice of you to babysit :)
She will be back soon!
It’s more of “fishsitting”
What lovely fish! Should I never give them back?? Lol!
Simply Betta if I were you I'd sure take her up on that spawning offer!!
The plakat half moon is so pretty!?!
Yes SPAWN HIM!
Simply Betta I would have a hard time giving that white and blue one back. That one looks amazing. Spawn it for sure.
Simply Betta what is big city bettas website so I can buy from them
Wow that white and blue marble is absolutely gorgeous! If you get any babies like that I definitely want one! :)
Oh man... If only that plakat would stay like that and not end up solid blue....
I would name him Heart Throb.
lol tue, tho!!
The white and blue will end up solid blue? A slight disappointment but *What* a blue!
LJ Aquatics
Yeah, I would love him anyways. He is gorgeous. With all the new fin types and colors I hope someone eventually gets fish like him that won't marble. Can you imagine what people would pay??

Just stunning! I would for sure be trying to breed that male! Best of luck with the babies for big city bettas!
Yeah! Thanks! : )
So any babies ?
Omg he’s such a beautiful boy, you should definitely breed him. He’s such a stunning boy.
I totally will!
Simply Betta I have a pair of blue marble like him, but mine are butterly and starting to marble up.
Congrats on the video success. Good job!
Thank you Cory
Corry can you do another unboxing on your channel also Murphy is awesome
Her: betta with thermal installation
Me: forbidden burrito
LoL
The blue and white one’s are just incredibly beautiful.
Those are absolutely gorgeous! I don't know if I'd be able to give them back lol
Me neither! ^^
Just wow... they are all stunning fish. I get my first two bettas this week... a pair of dragon bettas. Which means that I will have to get on my bike and get my dual aquascaped tank setup sorted out and get them into it.
Me when I saw white and blue Betta: :O •O•
My male halfmoon betta has a hungry dance that he does. It looks kinda like what the domestic male betta was doing but only at food time :)
That is some fun babysitting there!! Really pretty fish, especially love that gorgeous plakat🤗 I received my bug bites today, thanks!!
Good to hear! : )
I'd keep them 😂
That blue and white is probably the coolest betta I've ever seen.YES!! Spawn the crap out of that fish! Sometimes your "step" fishies have got to be your favorite right?
Haha I love him, never want to give him back. Big City Bettas if you're reading this you can buzz off he is mine nowwww
Lol Uh-Oh!

Do you feel the same about guppies and all the amazing varieties now?
@@SimplyBetta Yes guppies as well! Both species now have so many distinct color variations it's hard for me to even keep them straight. I have some Endlers myself which are confused with guppies quite often, a few of the ones I have like blue stars or red bars are considered a semi-wild (bred for their colors) strain, but then I also have some rainbow tiger endlers which were bred with guppies, they're 1" or smaller like an Endler but have a spotted pattern like some fancy guppies do.

Jesse C hey I’m all about pretty colors :) and all the guppies confuse the heck out of me too!
That half moon blue and white at 4:00 + is the cutest betta I have ever seen.
She has the most adorable personality. I'm done with my beta phase ( now on to pigeon and chickens) but I still follow her because she makes me smile.
They all are so beautiful! :) you should try spawning the white and blue male :3
Shirene Dustin Miller. I would want some of their babies!
Karen Schuttler I would almost wanna name one moo, short for moo cow lol.
I think I will!
Simply Betta im hoping to spawn my koi pair once they are of age for the first time. I'm excited! Only missing some microworms at this point. The youtuber fish community gave me inspiration and proper information to feel confident enough to give this a try :) love your videos!
They are the first wild I've seen and there are stunning. I think I'll be setting up a betta tank
I always like hearing that some people appreciate the wild varieties : )
I never thought about keeping bettas until I started watching your channel... I think I'm going to set up a sorority here soon!
Yay, I brought someone over to the dark side!
Woah that marble plakat! Is stunning
I would love to have one of those white and blue bettas. So pretty!
My fluvel fish food came and my fishes are so in love with them! Can you tell me where you get them frm?
I think petco or petsmart might carry them now, and for sure the brand can be found online!
oh my the blue marbled one is gorgeous! I really want to have fishes again now...
The white and blue marbled betta is GORGEOUS.
Wow! That blue and white one is beautiful! Would love to have one!
I might have babies soon :)

I have weird passions :)
you should spawn the blue and white 1
I have never seen the mahcachais(?) betta. interesting to see what she gets going with them... Gorgeous platinum and blues too

Ditch fish can be so hardy
XD ya. still trying to figure out what kind of fish they are
Hi! I have a doubt
How to works the transhipper?
Is it the same transhipper and shipping fee?
You should definitely spawn him...please do
I hope you’re able to spawn that beautiful blue and white marble plakat.
Where can I get wild bettas?
Do you have a species in mind? I have some smaragdina guitar pairs, and hopefully soon I'll have some mahachai.

Hello, We Love Betta Fish
The white and blue plakat is unbelievably beautiful and unrealistically brilliant
:) Eloquently said!
Hey these are beautiful fish and great packaging!! Are you able to share the company that they were purchased from I would love to take a look myself I’ve always had Bettas and just love their personalities!
The blue and white one! So gorgeous I would love that fish in my tank. I have two male and a female both are awesome fish.
That's mighty nice of you! Great channel!

Great video! That is so kind of you to help her out! :) Gorgeous fish too. I just adore bettas.
Thanks for stopping by @Bear Necessities, I love your vids!
They all are beautiful..

Such an awesome person, thank you for being kind.
Awww you're so kind
you are gonna like that new tank!
They are so cute
Wow! That white and blue marble plakat is absolutely gorgeous!!!!!!!

You should do series where you breed him and we can watch the progress if the fry.
Yeah! I just might. I'm fattening up the female now haha
Do you know any good beta breeders that have vail tale females and ship to Canada,Ottawa?
not off the top of me head, I would go to the Internation Betta Congress facebook page and ask that : )
Renas Fish Store.
Hiii
I just want to ask u that since u r in USA how do you control water temperature as I haven't saw any heater in your betta tanks.
Thanxs
Oh Man! That plakat is beautiful! You should definitely spawn it with one of your females before shipping it off to BCB.
You know I will!
Oh, I love the blue one.
Wow, they are gorgeous!
Omg the blue and white is stunning!
He is my fav and I never want to give him back!
