Don't worry about the elitists. Present your info and everyone will understand it. No matter how you say Betta, everyone knows exactly what you're talking about. The person trying to correct you on it, is just trying to get attention.
Hey I'm subscribed to you too I had no ideal you also watched tayloars channel
Yeah I watch a lot of channels, just don't always comment a bunch. I like to listen to stuff in the background as I reply to comments etc.
The master has spoken!
In deed haha
You're may be right, he/she may be trying to get attention. But it is entirely ridiculous that she is going to knowingly mispronounce a word based solely on the fact that she has mispronounced it her entire life. That is actually a hilarious thing to confess aloud.
The pronounciation of "Betta" has nothing to do with the fish's survival and wellbeing. Whoever wrote that comment obviously has superiority complex issues with nothing else to prove in life except grammar and pronounciation. Sad.
Okay wow that was hella cold
Spicy_taco face it’s true tho
Yeahh
Sayn RH facts
Once I was transporting my betta with all of my college stuff and we though we had secured him on the floor (small 1 gallon tank for transportation) but my dad slammed on the breaks and he literally fell out of the tank with all the water and went UNDER my dad's drivers chair and INTO one of the chair gutter things that the chair goes back and forth on. My dad pulled into the nearest place he could find and just asked for half normal water and half tea water from the place to get some normal temperature water and put it in the tank while I had to use my phone light to find the guy. I literally had to pick him up with my fingers, out of the dirty metal gutter BY HIS FINS because there was no other way to get him out he was far back there. I put him back in the tank which I held for the rest of the trip with the water my dad got and some water conditioner I had on hand. He was stressed and I don't know how he didn't die from that but he lived for another year. The poor guy...
That betta must have been invincible if he survived all that😂
IKR??? I was fully expecting him to pass soon after
Super fish! He's secretly an alien with super powers.
dont worry that doesnt seem as bad as what happened to my fish i left my room and when i came back my cat knocked over its tank and i freaked out and started looking for my fish and I stepped on my fish and it freaked out so i picked it up it still had a little water in its take so u put it in a cup cleaned his cage then put him in it but he somehow survived then i while later i went to clean his cage and i put him in and i put him in too quickly and he died from shock so now i dont own fish cuz no matter how well i take care of them they always die and i dont wanna make any more fish suffer
Snazzy Cat Actually, they live in shallow lakes, creeks, and rivers. NOT SMALL MUDDY PUDDLES. They swim miles, and miles.
I used to have my Betta in a bowl and I over fed it, I regret it! Now he's happier with no health problems in a clean tank with a light, a filter, a heater, a proper amount of food, a good amount of stuff to hide in and a 2.5 tank. I am proud of my research and my change of ways for my fish. I hope he lives long!
ღ Unicorn Power :3 ღ now that’s a proper fish owner! When you learn from your mistakes and not ignore your mistakes even when you know they’re wrong. Good job
I had mine in a 2.5 gallon with a filter and some plastic plants and he lived for 3 years, so you're all good :)
what kind of light did you get?
I hope you upgraded your setup :D Try 60L tank with 5 beta females and a Male.Let them breed and have fun.
@@arrowblue3909 it’s not good to impulsively breed bettas
My local fish store buys and sells gently used 2.5-5 gallon tank set ups (heater, filter, light and lid included) which they keep right next to their bettas for around $25-30 and they specifically do not sell fish bowls so that customers are more inclined to buy proper set ups for their bettas. This way, if a brand new fish owner wants to keep a betta in a tiny bowl or cup, they'd atleast have go through the hassle of stopping at another store which prevents a lot of the impulse buys that sell a lot of betta fish.
Sebastian GlamFish that’s a great idea! Also it’s better for the environment recycling a used tank and set up instead of always buying new.
Yass you go pet store!!
Jeez you can get a 3 gallon tank with whisper filter and air stone for $70 in Australia
My pet store has betas right next to the little 1/4 gallon vases
I tried to tell them that it’s wrong but they didn’t care and they only sell big 30 gallon tanks for over $100 so people only buy the little vases
Sam Margolies I feel you.I also get hella pissed if when so called PET stores sell the small less than 2.5 gallon fish tanks!!
Everyone I've ever met pronounces it BAYta so I'm going to continue saying it that way
Rachel Edmonds same
Me too
Same
When people say BAYta I find it annoying as hell. Can we just all agree on Siamese fighting fish...
I say it the “correct” way but I’m not originally from America so my accent affects it. Nobody else I know pronounces it that way though
Honestly, when people pronounce it “correctly” it makes me cringe. 😂🤷🏼♀️
Im sure you can say the word Betta however you want in your videos.
Me too it sounds stupid!
Abi D same.
Lol same
XD same
Me when I realized I’ve been pronouncing “betta” wrong for the past 2 years of owning 1 😶
Potato potato. Oh, it doesn’t really work in writing...
Same
Darling, we're in the same boat. I'm going to be a senior next year and I've had bettas since I was a little thing. I've always said them "bay-ta," its honestly fine. :)
Same
Its baytah
A friend of mine has an 8ft planted tank with 1 Betta and he is living THE LIFE
: D
That’s one spoiled fish 😭💖 I wish I could give mine that much space but that would literally take up half the space in my room which is the only place I can have a tank due to still living with family
actually betta can get stressed in huge tanks
Madelyn Witt 8 ft tanks can keep arowana the betta is probs hiding
Dick Grayson this is the funniest comment I’ve seen. 😂 No dude they claim up to 30 gallons in the wild.
“It’s LEVVIOOOOSA not LevviOSAW!”

I have a betta and he lives in a 1.5 gal and hes been alive for seven months
*watches video
Time to get a 3 gal tank
Crab Corner don't kid yourself. 5 gal is the real minimum, you and the fish will be very happy with it. They look well cared for and you can decorate things so nicely at that size or larger.
ok... I have a ten gallon now so
Crab Corner
Good, im so happy for your betta. My friend has her betta in a 1 gallon and she says "Its fine he likes the bowl"
PhoeIsACat "likes"
I have mine in a 2.5 and he loves it there so is no problem with him off the cage. He is very very happy. But I know if he started getting upset I will get a 3 gallon
*people who get mad about how others pronounce things really have nothing better to do with their lives*
I really like how passionate you are about animals. And thank you for the helpful hints about Betta fish.
I feel so bad because my betta fish lives in a tank the size of a large cup.. with a plant on top... the petstore i got him from was like BETTAS R GOOD IN LITTLE CUP TANK YAY PLANTS... Imma go buy a real tank now.
did i mention the tank cup thing is empty. no plants, no little pebble things. IM SO SORRY WINSTON =C
ᖴᑌᘔᘔY-ᗰOTO KITTY Well it's a good thing you found this video! How is he doing now?
Before you ask, my profile picture is my dog
Same. Her name is June.
About time! Have your betta gotten used to your tank yet(I know it's been 3 months but I'm excited about keeping my own betta. Hopefully it's personality would be more passive cause I'll be putting him into a 40g with some pygmy cories. :|
FINALLY I have convinced my parents to let me get a 2.5 gallon tank with a filter and a light. I'm also going to get a heater soon =D
I have a huge problem with this video. She keeps saying TAYlor when it's really tUHlohr
😂
She likes to say Taylor so let her
adamisaseahorse hehe
She's too into it now
Ugh. What an idiot.
Just got a betta a week ago and i love him so much 😭 hes red and sooo smart!!! i was guppy obsessed but got a betta on a whim and he is THRIVING in my 20 gal high tank.
I've had a betta fish for 2 years in a 2 gallon tank and then my dad got me a 150 gallon tank... now my betta lives in a 150 gallon tank by itself...
Peepandjello that is one lucky fish
Peepandjello yeah, that sounds great, sounds hard to do water changes and find a place to put it though 😂
Peepandjello you should get tetras or I would recommend painted platys it should not live alone
bill nye if it is male then it should live alone.
Wow. O_o That betta is gonna have a nice long life
I’m so excited to get my first fish, bought a big ol tank today and filled it with all the right things I’ve got it cycling right now, this video was a great resource ( I did more research after watching this)
How is your fish tank what kind of fish did you get?🐠🐬🐟
I know this is an old video but I got a 10 gallon tank with a filter and light all for 30 bucks so it’s a great deal!!
What fish tank was it called?I got a 3.5 gallon for 19.99 it was originally $29.99!!!
.....I got a 5g with a heater and filter and LED lights for $60
is it a sponge filter. Cause I got my sponge filter for like 6 dollars.
@Cassie Winchester I got my tank for free haha. and I got my 10 gallon for 10 dollars.
Cameron Perez betas DONT need filters. They're actually bad for them. Make an investment in marimo moss. It's just like a filter but no movement. You can get it at petsmart. When your ready to clean it take the marimo moss out and rinse it. It's about $9.
Water conditioner is tap safe in the UK guys so that's what it is incase you didn't know. Love you Taylor you give great advice unlike some other fish keepers on yt. 💜🤗
You should do makeup tutorials too cause your makeup be poppinnn'.... 💁🏽
Had a guy at work just add tap water and then dump his betta in it. surprise surprise it died in about 2-3weeks and hes like oh its okay it was like $7 Ill just get another one............ I cant stop him from not buying a new fish however I explained in terms he can understand that SPEND $4 ON WATER CONDITIONER SO YOU DONT SPEND TWICE THAT EVER COUPLE WEEKS..................... luckily he understood -_-
You are allowed to refuse a sale if you believe the person isn't fit to take care of the animal. Especially if you're at a big chain like Petsmart, if your boss says you can't refuse a sale go to head office because that is seriously against company policy for most pet stores.
Honestly thank you! So many people think OH LETS PUT TAP WATER HE WILL LIVE. I mean sure I had put tap water in mine but puter water conditioner in before i put my fish in. He is still living!
1 . What is your tank called
2 . What is your heater called
3.what food brand do you recommend?
4 .What thomamerter should I use
5 . I'm sorry for all the questions but I really want my Betta fish to live longer than my last and BTW i adore your channel your videos are funny but very helpfull thanks so much :)
Dusty Rose The Dog I use BettaMin Tropical Medley, and they have been super healthy! Also I know you were asking Taylor I just thought since she did not reply I would. :D
Dusty Rose The Dog This is old, but I recommend
1. Aqueon MiniBow 2.5 or TopFin 5.5 (they come with a filter and and everything)
2. It depends on the tanke size. For 2-7 gallons, get a hydor 25 watt heater (amazon has it, about 18 dollars.)
3.Betas need a variety of food, like they do in the wild. I recommend OmegaOne Betta Buffet Pellets twice a day for 4 days a week, OmegaOne Betta Flakes twice a day, and some sort of treat for it (bloodworms, mysis, daphnia) (doesn't matter which brand) once a day, once a week. Some people recommend to "fast" your betta every once in a while (don't feed it) to give their digestive system a rest.
4. Thermometer brand doesn't matter, but i use a marina thermometer from amazon.
Hope this helps! :-)
Might want to get a thermometer first

I’ve always said beytah like you. I just can’t get used to the “right” way.
This is simply perfect
Typical american
@@samthomson3394 ... so what? Different cultures... get used to it buddy.
Same girl
I was given a betta a long time ago, her name was Orca. She was the first pet that was my own, not a family one. She was already old and the people who gave her to me expected her to die pretty soon (which was a fucked up thing to do to a 9 year old.) But she lived for another two years after that and we never had a heater with our tank. And then my mom decide it was ok to put a blood frog in the tank without doing any research. Orca killed the frog after a blood worm latched onto her, that's what blood frogs eat. She killed the frog but suffered horrible damage to all her fins. They were torn and brittle looking. I thought she was going to die but she pushed through and recovered. Watching this video shows me that we did everything wrong (except for the tank) and yet she lived so much longer than expected, especially with how ignorant we were about her care. I was so lucky to have her as long as I did and I definitely want to get another in the future. Thank you for the informative video.

Oh
I should fix that
me today... went out and bought $110 worth of stuff..
You should. Hope you bought a nice tank and some decor, and some plants :) (nice way of writing that)
least you’re willing to learn instead of getting defensive like a lot of people:)
Same. LMFAO
I have a 3 gallon tank and just got my beta fish today! He’s beautiful, honestly. He seems very happy w/ his tank and is very healthy so far.
Great video! I did wanna mention something you said about feeding for those who may want to own a betta. The reason why you don’t wanna give bettas too much food is because it can lead to bloating, constipation or problems with the swim bladder. While I agree they should be fed at least once per day, it doesn’t hurt to fast them one day per week to prevent these things. If a betta ever starts to look bloated, try boiling a blanched pea, peeling it and giving some to the betta. This helps with constipation and bloating.
I say BAEta. Who gives a care. You do you Taylor. Like if you agree.
Haha me too! TBH I dont understand how people get so offended by a common and mistake! But at least I'm not alone 😹

BTS! 😍
BTS4 EVA u can say it both ways it doesnt really matter... There is no right from wrong
BTS4 EVA I’ve always said it like lol even the people at our pet store say it like that 😂
I love how blue her eyes are 😍😍
Eliana Mora How the hell are u judging her over a comment
Eliana Mora wtf it's just a comment her eyes are SUPER pretty
I love your videos! They're so informational and my daughter is using them for her research on betta fish to get as a pet
Taylor is literaly the only person i trust for animal care. I'm so happy I found you!
Legit a 3 gallon tank at walmart is $25, 5 gallon 40, 10 gallon $45 . Definately worth that minimal cost Love your videos!
I've seen a lot of sales recently with 10 gallon tanks from $10-$15!
Don't let the complainers get to ya Taylor :P
Tayloar lol
+MegansVvlogs hahaha
As a note for your video, you should be sure to tell people not to use marble as a substrate, because I’ve witnessed bettas hurting themselves on it or getting their fins caught under it
Silk plants are a good option for decor~
Good tankmates are netrite snails! They only breed in brackish water- so you won’t have an infestation, they also help clean the tank~~
I think this was the first video I watched of you anddd I've been bingewatching your videos for the past week :')
my sister had a beta fish a few months ago. She kept it in a small little vase and me being the one with lots of fish I had to change her water almost every week. She put a small amount of gravel in and fed it everyday. Then one day ur suddenly died and we didn know why. now I know the fish was in very poor living conditions only having a little space to swim. also we didn't have a heater in there and the water was also very cold. very recently I tried to tell my aunt and sister that the tank needed to be bigger. They didn't listen and told me what about in stores because they are kept in little containers. But those are temporary homes for them and will most likely have bigger space to live. I'm January my sister also got a new fish after the first one died. she got a tropical fish that belonged in schools and needed at least a 60 gallon tank. The fish was kept in the same conditions as the beta. it died in a week. I hope to get my own beta soon because I know more about them. I plan to get a 5 gallon or 10 gallon. If I get a 10 gallon I plan to maybe get like 2 females. idk but thanks for the video plus teaching ppl about betas and I'm not sure if you well ever see this but you hopefully enjoyed my story
For Sorority tanks for females I was told to get them in at least a group of 5 and with a bigger tank, I can't remember the size but I believe it was 40 gallons or bigger. 10 gallons are great for neon tetras. I have a 5 gallon with a male betta in it alone. I plan to possibly get a mystery snail as well.
Tyanna McNally 10 g is great for most common fish
I really want a betta divided tank all I need is a tank and a filter because I don't need a heater as it's super hot where I live and my room temperature is always 76-79 throughout the year so the water is probably just a degree less or so
Faris Ahmad that’s true, it’s just for betta sororities they need a lot of space because they’re territorial and aggressive. Some people don’t even like them at all. Divided tanks are good though :) sorority tanks have no dividers
This is coming from someone with an embarrassing amount of experience in owning bettas as well as in the fishkeeping community.
"I'm gonna start a sorority tank!" is exactly like people in The Walking Dead saying "I'm gonna start a town!". At first, if you do it right and get the right group, it'll go well. Might even last a while. But eventually it *will* crash and burn, it will happen extremely suddenly, your favourites will die, the whole event will be very gruesome, and afterwards they'll eat each other.
Don't do it. Save yourself the stress. Just get dividers or a couple small tanks.
I have many tanks with betta now, I start with 1 male in 2 gal bowl, we all learn, maybe my movies about betta can help? see my channel, I have 8 x 10 gal tank with males and 20 gal with females only, also 55 gal tank with tropical fish community and one betta , maybe showing my tanks will help understand, enjoy
Can you do a beginners fish please.Nice video
Caitlin Downing get a guppy I have like 700 they keep hatching!! And they r really easy to take care of
Sylvie Goo i thought you said puppy and got super confused
Let's Not HAHA can't really judge u
Betta Fish actually love company and will have shorter lifespans if alone, it is suggested to put them with fish such as neon tetras or tetras to keep them company, also a tank of at least 10 gallons is required for them to be happy, do not keep them alone they will be bored and die a lot faster.
It is true that Betta Fish will fight bigger fish though but always always always, I cannot stress enough, have some life with it
Drew Meier I agree with you.. I look at it from this point, in the while bettas are bound to run into other bettas\fish. There is so much negativity in the betta keeping world, makes me sad, but I do believe some bettas are uber aggressive and if you want a community tank with more territorial bettas you need at leasttt, 30 gallons. I was blessed with none aggressive bettas, and I'm in the process of setting up my 30 gal for them. I'm so happy someone is open minded about this betta world. all because others have failed at keeping them I'm community tanks doesn't mean everyone will! (: rock on!
Sara Mills the minimum for ONE betta is 2.5 gallons and you can't have anything more than one betta in there (5.5 gallons is a lot better for their personality to shine through) in the wild sure they meet with other fish and other bettas but they have space to swim away and fight for their territory. betta fish are extremely territorial and do not happily interact, its more like tolerate. Wild bettas come across each other and therefore are more passive towards each other but bettas are still not schooling or grouping fish. Especially the bred bettas that don't meet together. I do agree that it depends on the personality of your betta somewhat. Some bettas get bored and unless in a huge tank they will want something to do, which another fish will provide (not another betta) which should only be done in a 10 gallon tank at least.
Mr. Purple my Betta fish tank is 5 gallons but he is tiny so he should be fine, he isn't a baby but he is half the size of a normal adult betta
my Betta lived for 10 years and he was alone
Found this while looking up info for a betta pond.
Miss you taylor i hope ypu are doing well
You helped me a lot because I do the same thing as you and have a lot of animals like you and I was thinking to get a betta fish. P.S I can't believe that people are so pathetic that they get mad at how people say stuff I say betta the same way and everyone says it the same way as we do 💕👍🏻
Maybe Crazy uh bb
Not related, but do you play Osu! ??
i love you so much Taylor and famous youtubers do too like aquarium-Co-Op is here and in Challenge The Wild's Live Stream he said you are awesome plus they mentioned Cheese and a lot of people wrote about you in the comments also millions of people cant take care of animals like you do and are just jelly i love your lighting plus like my friend always says ''dab on them Haters'' like if you agree that Taylor is AWESOME
also girl you have 464k subs i bet that they dont even have 1 sub and you have 464k subs they are just jelly
i forgot to add you are very pretty but also sooooooooooooooooooo beautiful
I always say "Dab for Cheese" and I don't know why. At first it wasn't for her fish...
Omg I love the real TEYlor so much better! Not that I didn't love the old one, I just love you even more now! Like if you agree!
When she said, "You'll want to unsubscribe but they'll be a lizard on my head, " I hit the subscribe because its so stinkin cuuute!
I hate seeing them in the dirty freaking cups in stores,just put them in bowls if you can't get them in a community
It's absolutely disgusting the way pet stores treat Betta fish, I once went to a pet store and they were keeping the poor guys in red solo cups. They didn't even put a lot of water in them! They put an inch of water in there at best.
Toby even bowls still aren't good
Before you ask, my profile picture is my dog Well, it's really inefficient for stores to keep a single tank up for one fish. I know that doesn't justify it, but just think about it for a second
Toby right! Walmart is worse they're some of them literally dead 💀 in the cup
Toby my local pet store has them individually in a nice glass bowl
Yay! I'm gonna get a betta today , my sister too .Now I know how to take care of it
Great tips! I love these little guys! I have two!

Thank you so much for this (your) very informed videos. I have had my Betta for 14 months (still learning every day) and he is super ill. He is in a hospital container at moment (since late last night) I pray he will come back to full health from my nursing him forward.
These tips are very helpful I’m planning on getting a Betta!! Thank you!!

Great info. I've been wanting a Betta lately, and it kills me to see them in those tiny cups at the stores. Years ago my mom had a 20 gal tank with several kinds of tropical fish, and then she got a Betta to add. Worked out well. No fights. And he would even "kiss" our finger if we stuck it in the water. I love Bettas. They're so pretty. Yup...gotta get one!
Takes notes for what fish a good tank mates
Thanks Taylor :)
Ne Pa don’t you mean talooor!
@@marshallcouto8229 thats wot i wos gona say
When I was younger one of my cold water fish jumped out of the tank at night and was on the floor jammed between a fridge and worktop for at least 3/4 hours. Somehow it survived and lived for 2 more years.
I’m considering getting a betta for my new apartment and I was like ‘hey I should watch some videos on care for betta fish’ and I see this one and OH MY GOSH TAYLOR YOUR SO YOUNG AND SO SOUTHERN SOUNDING THIS IS WEIRD
This was awesome! I knew a lot of it, as I have been sorta batting the idea around of getting my son a fish. I want something pretty, but also not something that will die right away. My son is forgetful also (even though I would help him and lecture him about feeding time) so I think this helped me decide that this might indeed be the right fish for him. How can you tell males from females? I think it would be so amazing to have more than one in a tank. I have NEVER heard betta being pronounced in that way before. True.. beta is spelled and pronounced the way the fish name is (according to us) but I dunno.. ppl are crazy. Say it however you want. Some of these comments on your posts are insane. There are too many ppl in need of a life. I LOVE what you are doing. Grats on the new camera and future lights!
I had a Betta fish for 6 years, untill it decided to jump out of it's tank...
Just an innocent Pomegranate way to avoid that is filling the water about 3-4 inches lower than usual
I also watched your video on beta myths, a lot of good info on betas. Thanks. I do have on one question. Should I switch out decorations in my beta tank to give him something new to explore once in awhile? Ps. I pronounce Beta the same way you do. So no criticism from me. lol
YES!!!!
it is a really good idea to switch up you aquarium, it is good enrichment, and will prevent boredom! :)
Mary Peterman It's a great idea to switch up their environment! I have two tanks and I switch between the two every cleaning day! Also they should have a hiding spot, my betas love theirs.
Awesome info!
Btw, what region are you from? I just noticed you say y'all a lot.
Cheers!
her name's Taylor she says y'all and has a Southern accent most likely from the south
She lives in Texas I think

Astro theultimate sorry about that didn't mean to hurt your feelings I'm really a nice guy
+Ron Villa You're good man, I shouldn't have gotten so defensive anyway
I had a beta for 2-3 years. His name was comet. I wasn’t very knowledgeable in taking care of him. I thought he needed a tank and food that’s it. He lived for quit some time however when I decided to give him a bigger tank he died due to shock I was so DUMB when it came to him but after months of research and saving I’m going to be getting a better tank, lighting and heating and a new beta I’m so excited because I’ll be able to properly take care of him and he’ll be happy. Thanks Taylor for your videos and your encouragement to research an animal BEFORE you go out and get one.
I've always pronounced betta the way you do, so it surprised me to hear that you were getting criticized for pronunciation.
Can you make this kind of video but about hedgehogs. What they eat, how often they need to Take A bath and all of those things. Ur the best❤️
Thank you so much for this information I'm about to get a BAYta fish myself. Lol
Some people have nothing better to do in life than complain about other people over the internet. Thanks so much for this video, I'm thinking of getting my first betta fish!
thank you for the hints i own a few when I was younger and they didn't do so well, they last for two years but they ere in small tanks and I always felt bad putting them in there. I now have two and they are doing great in a five gallon tanks with low flow fliters
I'm getting a Betta fish tomorrow 🐟😊
Melaya Craddock Good luck!
i have pointy fake plants in my betta’s tank so thank you for this because tomorrow i am going to he pet store and getting non pointing plant d
Love Betta Fish, thanks for giving good care tips (+ the myths vid). I enjoy fish videos, great job!
Her eyes are gorgeous! 💙
My fish likes to sleep on his leaf hammock which is right next to his heater, as for the filter I’m saving up for that. His name is Gilagon he eats bloodworms and pellets, and he is a vile tail Male. He lives in a 5.5 gallon tank.
Valdita B get a filter soon!
You can make a homemade filter for cheap!Look it up and watch some tutorials
Fish can't sleep
Ryan Smolinski Uhhhhhhh yeah they do lol
Ryan Smolinski dude please say your joking
I used to put my fish in a super tiny tank with no filter (it was when I was new to owning fish) and it was spilt to because I have two betas and they looked really sad all the time when they were in the tank but now I got them a bigger better tank and there swimming around all the time!
I don't care about your lighting or pronunciation! I love your betta care videos! Love you for saving probably 100's to 1000's of little betta lives! 😚
Live plants help a ton with water quality, no fake plants! OK it's 1 am..
It's ok!!!!! I say BAYtta too!! Personally I think it sounds better.
But that's just me.
You can pronounce it both ways, personally I pronounce betta the same way you do. 🙂
I do to
Thank you for your informative video! I'll make sure to keep these things in mind when I decide to get another betta fish. When I was roughly 5 years old I had a betta fish that was alive for 5 years. Not a ton of those requirements were met when I had him, unfortunately. The room was really only below the recommended temperature during the colder parts of the winter season, and there was no water filter involved, but my mother had helped me clean out his water every day. I'm now kind of sad to think that I wasn't properly taking care of him (even though I was only 5 years old and we didn't have a computer in the house to help with research), so I will make sure to look into proper care more thoroughly when I decide to get another betta, which I've been on and off about recently.
"that's the real tayloar comin out"XD LOL
Hi Tuh-lore! I'm thinking about getting my first bayTAH and wanted to say thank you for the informative video. I've watched several videos before this one and thought they were pronouncing betta wrong until I watched this one. Still..it's pronounced BAYTAH people.
I gave my pet fish a bubblebath he's been sleeping since then
Seth Murphy lol😂🤣

Hazel Johnson the joke flew over your head.

I bought a Betta from Petsmart and he only lived for a week. I keeped his tank clean and I conditioned the water as recomended and fed him blood worms, he had plants and a blue fish light...only thing I can think of is maybe the water temp was off, but I keep my house pretty warm so who knows. I had a tank that I once had gold fish in and they all died right away too..is it possible the tank I have is toxic to fish, my 15 gallon tank has 6 small tetras and they have been fine, but this one betta tank seems to be a death tank.
Colorfull- Song Did you cycle your tank? It's very important to level the water before you put fish in it. They could have died bc of high levels of ammonia or nitrite
Unicorns*eat*my* husband did you test the water?
I have a little blue/green iridescent betta named Dos (TWIN tailed half moon). He's been in a temporary 1 gallon, and about to enter a 10 gallon with guppies and tetras.
You have a new sub!!! I like you and enjoyed this your funny and I have always pronounced betta as you do and I think it sounds funny hearing it the other way! I've had my betta for a few months now he's in a 3,5 tank I'm thinking about going a little bigger. One thing nobody mentions is how they like resting and sleeping close to the surface. The day I bought my betta the leaf with the suction cup he loved it and rests on it all the time.
I’ve got one lastnight, and these are helpful facts 🥰
Hahaha! Good rant, and thanks for the betta information. One recently fell into my care.
Where i live in Australia we call 'em fighting fish so better, betta, beta, peta. Fighting fioesh
I started keeping betta fish this past August. I got a 3.1 gallon tank with a top, filter & an LED light. I didn’t think I’d need a heater (and regular tests said he didn’t) back in August and September when it was super hot inside. Now though, and for the past month, it had been getting cold. Please get a heater early! Way before you need it! Because the day I realized he had fin rot I made a plan to get a heater the next day. He passed away before that could happen. I have another betta now using his established tank, and of course a heater. Besides that he was perfectly healthy and I miss him a lot.
RIP Bones.
You are like super funny Teloor, really. In my Dutch Antwerp dialect "teloor" (tuloor) means: a dinner plate.
And you seem to know some stuff! Great video! 👍👍
You mean a dinner plate just taught me how to take care of bettas ?
Omg i chosse the right aquarium for my betta fish yess 😃
“That’s the real taloor coming out” 😂😂
I bought my beta fish from Petco a few months ago and the water was so dirty and disgusting and she had the worst popeye in her eye that I had ever seen. her eye was basically completely out of her head. I went to Petco originally to get some worms for my leopard gecko and some bedding for my guineas. I love to look at the bettas just because I used to absolutely love bettas and I always want to see the new ones. I saw this betta girl with the popeye and begged my mom to let me take her home. I am currently trying to save her. Once I took her home I realized that she actually had popeye in both of her eyes and she couldnt really see very well. Her eyes are slowly getting better and tomorrow I am going to upgrade her to a 10-gallon tank. I love your channel and its really helped me with tips for all of my animals.
