I used my net to bag some fish from Little Neck Bay in Queens NY. within a span of 30 minutes of arriving home, half the batch had died. My plan was to. assimilate them into my fresh water goldfish tank. To my surprise, they did quite well. They were much smaller than the 3 inch goldfish. However, this breed proved to be more evasive. I believe had the numbers been increased, they would have survived.
I am sorry for your loss and the pain that you felt.
Thanks for a great video.
Much blessings,
Teresa
Sorry for the loss,I lost mine and this is the second Nemo and acts like trying to stay alive for me
For those who are concerned about feeling sad when a fish is sick or dies - don't. We grieve every fish we lose in the same way we grieve our other pets. A fish is a living creature, and every life is unique and important - no matter how small. xx 🥰
So important. People who laugh at you or think it's silly have no idea how amazing these little fish are.
Ants: facts
Indian almond are good for sick betta ??
That dont make sense shouldn't we be concerned so we can treat it
Wow I would never imagine people laughing about loosing a fish . There are a lot of trolls out there , I called the
Haters which every word they say is to hurt others. I feel sorry for their empty emotions and a lifeless soul
My Betta Jim died today. He was very sick. He was the most playful, lovely, beautiful I've had so far. So smart and full of personality. My mom doesn't understand why I'm this upset about his death, but he was so much more than just a fish to me. He was my pet, and a good one at that. I haven't been able to stop crying since, he was such a big part of my heart.
I feel your pain I cried so much when I lost my betta buddy Malachi, I have a song I play that reminds me of him and how excited he would get
I'm so sorry to hear that
@@kaleb7547 my condolences ❤ i hope you're feeling better now
Just read your comments. 😢 dogs cats fish… when we can bond with them then they are our family, best friends and special ones… he was loved by you and special. The same pain and grief…
What did you guys do when they passed?
when a fish dies it's not just a fish its a friend and Soundwave has been a great friend! and I so sorry for your loss! :(
👵💞🌈
My Betta fins are stuck she is struggling to swim and she is NOT lethargic. I have moved her to a hospital tank but I don’t know what to do next. I’m really scared I’m not doing what’s needed and I want her to recover. Can you please help or give advice? Happy to private message please
@@zzptrizzy7090 did you manage to save him ?
Sorry to hear about Soundwave. You gave him a great home and he gave you joy.
Thank you so much! He was the best betta boy ever!
@@GirlTalksFish 😢😢😭😭😭
I feel you. Betta is small, but it always means something to the owner . My betta almost died few months ago, but by watching your advices and suggestions, my betta survive in the end. Thanks so much for your sharing and letting us know your betta. Rip blue betta. 😢
this really hurts me, soundwave was probably my favorite fish from a fishtuber, soundwave was such a great fish, I will really miss him. And irene, it's ok to cry over a fishes death, it was a living thing you cared for, RIP SOUNDWAVE
Thank you so much! I cried my eyes out so many times after he passed. Had no idea I could be so attached to a fish, but there you have it.
@@GirlTalksFish yeah, I think losing fish is probably the worst thing about this hobby, I just started out with my new betta fish and he has an awesome personality, but I know he will goo away one day
@Girl Talks Fish, I have had 2 fish before, (I have a third now) and the first 2 lived about 1-2 years, and when they died I cried so much and I had a little funeral for them both.
Sorry your loved fish passed away
@@GirlTalksFish I am so sad my Betta passed away few hours back. Only a fellow Betta owner understands this
Thank you for your help and advice. My beta is 3 1/2 years old. She is acting lethargic and laying on her side a lot. She has none of the symptoms mentioned. I think its just old age.:(
My family thinks I’m overly concerned about a fish. You made me feel like loving a pet fish is perfectly normal. :)
If everyone was as kind hearted as you, the world would be a much better place.
My fish is acting the same exact way! We’re you able to help her?? I love my fish I’d hate to lose her!
My betta died a few days ago from a rapid growing fungus that I didn’t even notice. He passed as I was treating the tank but he was well loved and always greeted me when I got home ❤️
My female Betta died from that to :(
How does one avoid fungus? There's nothing fun about fungus
My last one died of old age, I made a hospice care room for him. His last two months it was sometimes hard for him to reach the top to breath, so I floated a Tupperware container in the aquarium and filled it with his favorite hides and leaf. I miss my buddy Livingston.
Aww, I had a Livingston too. Several years back. 💕
@@Vcaser haha Was yours also named after Picards readyroom fish in Star Trek TNG?!
@ryan sharick Absolutely!!
Sorry for the loss. I have a 2 year old Betta with a large external growth (cancer) not affecting his swimming or eating yet. Clove oil on hand but not yet.
I'm sorry to hear that! Yes, it's always a hard decision to know when to euthanize a fish when they have a slow decline like that.
I know this is 2 years later but I'm just now seeing this video and I just wanted to say that I'm so sorry to hear about Soundwave's passing. People who say 'it's just a fish' have obviously never raised a fish and fail to understand that they have little personalities just like cats and dogs and they can and do endear themselves to us. Thank you for helping us learn how to better care for our bettas.
People who have never had a Betta will never understand what Bettas are all about
Thank you for sharing. When I lost my first betta, Bluto, in February I was devastated. My family felt bad but I don’t think they understood why I was sad for a fish. Videos like this help us feel like we are not alone in how much we care.
Its so hard to lose a fish😭 i cried when i lost my 3.5 year old guppy, sorry for your loss😔
I cried for my guppy, she was 2 years old but she got dropsy and I didn't have a hospital tank to take care of her.
I'm so sorry for your loss.
This is a wonderful video that is going to help so many current and future betta keepers!
Thank you so much! I'm glad we got to film our "how to care for elderly betta fish" video together before our boys passed away. It's a sad part of fish keeping, for sure.
@@GirlTalksFish please help my betta fish is sick and I don’t know what to do. I’ve only had him for 5 months and he won’t eat or move anymore and he looks sick.
I'm sorry for your loss, Soundwave. It was touching to hear your story on your beautiful betta. I too recently lost my buddy Julius. I cried so much. I got him after going through horrible depression. He helped me a lot. I enjoyed him so much that I Ended up rescuing 4 other bettas (1 male 3 females), 6 snails and 2 African dwarf frogs. I love them all.
❤🐟🐸🐌
What a cute fish he was. I enjoy watching him in your videos. So much personality he had. Rest in peace Soundwave. 🙏🏾
You've taught me so much about betta keeping, and Soundwave was a fantastic partner throughout all of your videos. He had a wonderful home with you, and I'm sorry you had to lose him.
I’m back here again, the first time my betta stipe got sick I came here and you helped me heal him extremely well, the second time he got sick I followed the same rules and thought I saved him again, but it’s been about two weeks and I don’t think he will make it. But I’m so glad I learned what I learned from this video, thank you and I hope maybe I can pull off a miracle
Lots of love to you and Soundwave. He was an absolute beauty, and lived a wonderful life.
You did such a wonderful job of explaining everything and your experience of your Beta passing was very touching of how you and your family took care of it ❤️
So sorry for your loss! Soundwave was very much loved and cared for! ❤️
You and Soundwave have been my inspiration to start a planted tank. You really gave him a great life! I feel your pain. I had a Golden Algae eater die and it broke my heart. Know that your story with him is inspiring and influencing many to make great changes in their tanks! ❤🙏
R.I.P Soundwave. You lived a great life.
You explain everything is good 🙏
@turtle lover yes so what
@@freedomaquarium bhai aap yha bhi 😂
Thank you for your help with your videos. They helped me take care of my fish affectionately named Fishy during his final weeks on Earth. I miss him, but I’m glad that he’s no longer in any pain or discomfort. 💙
I am glad I found your channel, you are SOOO helpful!! We received a rescue betta that was in a bad home where he wasn't cared for. He is our first betta and we are learning as we go. Sadly he has dropsy (we think) as he is bloated. Now we are frantically treating him... Thank you for all your tips you are such a help!!! I am so sorry to hear that you lost your sweet soundwave. He was beautiful!! You gave him a great life, for sure. 💕🦐🐟🐌🐚
Irene I am so sorry for the loss of your lovely betta, Soundwave. You took great care of Soundwave and he was blessed to have you! Things happen. This video and all your other videos are very informative!
So sorry to hear that you lost your friend. He had beautiful life with you and I bet he was happy to the last breath. Lots of love ❤️
I must recommend the salt and your fish article that you wrote for the coop. I read it a few months ago and I have to say I think it was one of the most helpful articles on salt that I read. I liked it so much I went ahead and printed it out. Fin biting is a terrible scourge and it invites infection into our betta.
Soundwave was mostly in your videos and i loved how cute he ate🥰🥰, i genuinely think you really gave the best care for soundwave im sorry to hear about your loss
I'm so sorry for your loss. I started tearing up when I heard that.
What an interesting coincidence- I've watched your videos before and really like them. Today I noticed my rescue betta is STILL flashing after three days of salt dips. Thank you for posting exactly what I searched for today and for your great tips. I admire that you chose to end Soundwave's suffering and find it so sweet that you incorporated your family into saying goodbye. I'm sorry.
Aww, I am so sorry for your loss. You did such a great job and gave him a wonderful home ❤️!
Thank you. I apreciate all you share its gona keep my betas alive longer :)
Sorry for your loss of soundwave :(
my daughter brought home a fish a
month ago ... i’ve never owned one in my entire life and oh lucky us, she chose a fish instead of a hamster. 😂
i was SO STRESSED the first two weeks with our little guy.
i LOVE him so much already. i unknowingly said ‘feeding time, mommy’s here’ the other day and my guy laughed OUT LOUD.
i hope we are lucky enough to have him for a few years.
♥️
I feel your pain. My Betta just died from old age. It started with him being unable to see his food properly and he was missing it when lunging for it.
After that his appetite started to fade and it eventually stopped; he lay on the bottom of the tank for days, moving a tiny bit every now and again, and then he just… stopped.
RIP Sunny. Daddy loves you.
Sorry for your loss. Be well. Also your production quality is second to none on fishtube. Great work. Nice tribute.
Thank you for this video! It’s the clearest video I’ve seen so far on Betta health...you communicate so clearly!
Thank you so much. Woke up to your video and feel hopeful with a plan to help my fish, Kabuki (and Suki, female betas in a split 5 gallon tank). I loved your presentation style and how you added your personal experience with Soundwave. That really validates our love for what may seem to others like a silly fish for our entertainment.
I once saved my 4 year old beta from confiscation at an airport ( I was moving unexpectedly). I refused to give him up until I found someone with compassion who let me bring him on in his cup. I had him for another year after that. Thank you for the euthanizing tip. A video about that would also be interesting.
I'm sorry to hear about Soundwave, too. I've been watching him on other videos and thought he was still alive. I found this one because my Jake suddenly is listless at the bottom of the tank. He's been very active all week because I introduced some new rasboras. But they've all settled in well together, and the newbies were quarantined and medicated by both my lfs and here at home, so I don't think they brought in anything. Nevertheless, I just pulled Jake out in to a salted quarantine tank with meds, so hopefully he'll recover. He had enough in him to put up a good chase! He's 2.5 years old and I'm hoping he has a couple more years in him.
I'm so sorry to hear about Soundwave. It makes me sad to know the news. He was lucky to have such an loving and educated family to care for him. Sending hugs
Last time I had a betta fish I was 8 and my mom took care of him. Now I have a new guy and this video really helped me get my Octavian on a better tract. I wasn't cleaning his tank enough at the beginning... thank you for all the tips and advice
omg.. RIP Soundwave.. what a beautiful fish, I'm so sorry.. 😢 You took great care of him!. Thank you for this video and for sharing this with us ❤️
I’ve known soundwave for 45 minutes and I’m so sad he’s now gone :,(
I don't have a betta, but I always think your information is so helpful and can apply in a lot of situations! Thank you for sharing about Soundwave, my fish is a pet and I am very attached to him! So sorry for your loss 🧡
Thank you! Yes, same here. I was surprised at how sad I became after his death. It was hard to go to work at times.
Aww. Soundwave is who drew me in to your channel (he's my hubby's favorite transformer). Thank you for sharing him with us. He didn't just teach you, he taught so many by being the star of your videos. My betta, Mister Frisbee thanks him. I am able to take such better care of him because of what you taught me with Soundwave. Thank you Soundwave!!!!
My heart! ♥️ I cried when you shared about your late fish, but. It was a good thing. Thanks for sharing. I found the information you shared so helpful. I have a sick betta. He came from my late brother. I hope I can save him. I will be going to your blog to find the info about using aq salt.
Sorry for your loss but I am glad you and he shared a happy home.
Hey, I've been watching your videos for a super long time, and every time I need to learn something, or when I want to get new fish, I always go to your channel first. I love how you always tell the truth, and tell us about your mistakes. you are inspirational. And I'm sure you get comments like this all the time, but I wanted to say something anyway. I'm only 14, and I love fish so much and I was about to get rid of all my tanks, but then I saw the video where you said that you wanted to rage quit the hobby, but you kept going. that pushed me to keep going as well. so, I pretty much have you to thank for my healthy fish tanks. you rock! also I'm so sorry for Soundwave. he was beautiful, and awesome like you.😥😊
Thank you so much for your sweet words! I'm so glad I inspired you to keep going with fish keeping. It definitely gets easier the longer you do it. :)
Thank you for this. I'm trying to save some sick bettas I found at a store, I'm hoping I can help them get healthier or at least give them a better place to pass than in a tiny container on a store shelf.
Nice info video and the end touched me. Thanks for caring. May he RIP lil buddy
I am sorry for the loss of your pet. There was a lot of helpful information in your video. Take care.
Your amazing. I really enjoyed this video . Im sorry for your lost. Im currently battling ick i will definitely take all your advices
These videos are amazing! I love it and I am so grateful I found you today!!
So sorry for your loss.
Thank you for sharing
I really enjoy your video's, I have learned so much from you and Soundwave. So very sorry to hear of his passing.
ohhh im so sorry to hear about soundwave
thank you! the other day i rescued my brothers 3 year old betta who had moderate fin rot! he’s not dying and is doing pretty good on his meds, but i watched this just in case :)
Our condolences to you and your family.
Thanks for the information and insight.
I am a fairly new subscriber and your videos are really great! Thank you! I have to say I cried when you shared about Sound wave. Sounds like he was a good boy and very well loved ♥️
Sorry for the loss of you precious soundwave, I had a betta, it was a delta feather tailed betta and his name was Juno, and I was still a beginner on fish caring and I even followed your guide videos as well! But over time somehow he only lived for 2 months, unfortunately. He died from ammonia poisoning which led to dropsy, as soon I found out he was not in a good shape, it when I realized ill just let him sleep.
Edit: Something to say about soundwave, I shall say that Soundwave had a pretty good life from tank to tank. Rest in peace fishy companion.
You honestly care. Lovely to see. Thanks for your help. 👍
I just found you. My Betta Maxx has fin loss and I am treating him for the next 7 days. I replaced the plastic plants with silk ones and got him a heater. He came home on 4/13 and was so beautiful. I hope he recovers soon.
thanks for sharing, I just started my betta journey they are so wonderful and full of personality
Nice video... it’s very useful for me as I’ve recently got an aquarium & a betta fish. He was active initially, but now he’s staying at the bottom of the tank & not eating his food too.. may be I’ve to check the water parameters. Hope he’ll get better soon....
Thanks once again.
I'm VERY VERY sorry for your loss😞😔
Thank so much for this video tho
Now I can take care of my betta fish!
I'm so sorry about Soundwave, that must hurt a lot. I just lost my first betta on Thursday to him getting stuck in something he'd never bothered before. I tried wedging him out but the damage he'd already done to himself was enough that he passed away that night. I hadn't even had him for a year. I can't imagine the pain of losing a friend like Soundwave, and I do hope that one day soon you find another Betta that sparks just as much love and joy in your heart as his did.
Great information for sure. What I especially like about the video is that you're positive & upbeat, even while talking about a tough topic. 📺👍😎
Thank you! That really means a lot to me. 🤗
I just found you. Love it. So much helpful info. I also think it's absolutely lovely how you handled your elder Betts in the end there. Keep on keepn on Sister!🐾🐾💖🌼😁
my betta was dying and his fins were all destroyed but after your advice he is really energic and looks healthy and happy thank u sooo much
Sorry to hear about Soundwave, he was such a cutie.
Also, “you’re filter is not a magic black hole.” I could not stop laughing 😂
Our Betta seems a bit off and watching your video was so helpful. I am so sorry for your loss...Bettas have such a personality, they become family and so dependent.
We moved our Betta and his snail friend to a 10 gallon and he has made anymore bubble nests. I am hoping it’s constipation. 🐠🐌
Thank you for your video .
So sorry to hear about Soundwave. You gave him a great life ❤️
I'm so sorry for your loss! My boyfriend just lost his betta. He only had him for three months. I think it was columnaris. He was tired and I thought maybe it was from overfeeding, so we fasted him for a day, and the next day his gills were puffy and he was sitting at the surface on some leaves. he eventually passed that day. I know now that I need to keep some meds on hand in case something like this happens again to our other tanks.
I’m so sorry for your loss😭. It sucks when a pet crosses the rainbow bridge. When my first betta fish Charles passed away I cried for hours. He was the first fish I did my research on and raised him and lived a good life he was such a good boy 😭😭.
This was a heartwarming educational video thanks
Such a beautiful betta & great info!
Thanks Irene just what I needed just started quarantine for my panda guppies and if anything does appear I know what to do😃
Soundwave ❤ RIP, im sorry for your lost Irene 😭😭 i know how it feels and its hurtfull, Stay Strong!!
Thank you for the help!
You are an amazing person human woman every single thing you said is so positive powerful and passionate. Thank you for all your care and sharing your knowledge. Please have a blessed live with all your beautiful fish . 🐠
Rip Soundwave❤ He lived a happy enriched fulfilled life!
Thank you so much for all this information! I have 2 Bettas. One is totally fine, but the other has had white scale patches on the bottom since I got him. I didn’t see the spots at the time & am trying to treat him with Betta Fix. I really hope it works. I have a split tank, so I’ve turned off the filter. I’ve noticed my filter is way too aggressive, so I’ve got to get one that’s not creating such intensity in the tank. These fish mean so much to me…they’re my friends, you know? I hope I can fix this.
Thanks for your help
I'm from egypt and i like your channel so much 💕💕
I'm so sorry that Soundwave died. he lived an amazing life!
Sorry for the loss of your pet. I know how you feel. I just went through a die off in my 2nd tank. About 8 angels that I raised from eggs to adults. They were 16 months old. Only one left. :'(
Very sorry for your loss. Fish may seen small but they can become a big part of your life.🐟 🙏
Thank you so much for this helpful and insightful informative video program !! Sending love
-Becky(but my friends call me Beth)❤
Thank you for sharing. Very informative video 👍
I can feel how heavy and sad that was to give him such a wonderful life and comfortable death. My son’s betta, Cloudy, by default became my betta. He lived his last years in my planted 20g community tank. He was a joy to see how docile a betta can be and live with school fish and shrimp and snails. I euthanized him as well when he could no longer swim upright and lost his ability to eat which was his greatest joy haha. Bettas a wonderful puppy fish who enrich our lives more than we do theirs.
Great video. My betta from Petco looks like his brother. Sorry to hear about your fish. Keep doing what you are doing
Yes, I totally got him from Petco too! That would be so cool if they came from the same farm.
Ur super good u save all betta and fish thx for this
casually looking for betta fish facts at 12 am and now i am sobbing
Be peaceful, Soundwave 🖤💙
Soundwave looked like a nice betta that u gave ur love and care and time to him u low key made me cry 😭 I honestly don’t want to go through that especially that I say hi to my betta every morning and try to spoil her the most I can . I just don’t want to go through that pain but I know it’s going to be some day😭
My fish, Auto is going through the same thing, which brought me to your video. Also, he was from petco and a butterfly betta that didn’t keep his white long. I had him a year this far. Fingers crossed.
I think the same happened to my beta fish. He was sluggish for over a month, always at the bottom of the tank, only coming up for a feed, but struggling, as he seemed to have no strength to stay afloat and would always drop to the bottom of the tank. I had other fish who saw he wouldn’t make it and started picking at his tail, fins and eyes. I separated him from the tank to see if he would recover somewhat and spare him being eaten alive, but no joy. He died within the hour.
Coolest this is good health vid for betta fish
