I bought a female betta with torn fins as she was being bullied and I wanted to give her a chance... her fins grew back and she is the sweetest little thing.
The third pair are so freaking lovely! Can’t wait to see what you breed out of them!
Honestly I don’t think I’ve ever seen an ‘ugly’ betta. Just ones in need of care. Just got my own beautiful hellboy Alf from kg tropical. You can tell he was really well taken care of before I got him into his 16 gallon planted tank. If anyone is looking online I highly recommend checking them out. There are pictures so u do know who you are bringing home. Best wishes in your breeding. It will be interesting to see how the fry come out. Looking forward to it.
I always pick the ones that need the most help and it's always such a struggle. Good video!
Same! I love going for the most 'depressed' ones and say as so to the surprised shopkeepers. I love watching them love their large new environment when I bring them back home
Yeah. Watching this I was sad for all the less than perfect fish that the video is encouraging us to reject.
I am a beginner fishkeeper, and I am currently co-owning a betta with a friend. We picked one that looked nice and are trying to give him the best home possible with our small budget. As I/we get older and more experienced, maybe we will try picking the more imperfect ones, but for now, we can’t. It still makes us so sad to see the ones with rips and the ones that are “depressed.”
It's a bit different here in Australia as unless your buying off a wholesaler, it's rare you see bettas in cups. It's really rare to find sick bettas for sale these days, though if you're looking for uncommon colours you're looking to spend $50 - $70 + per a male otherwise they can be around $15 - $20. We've come a long way from selling them in cupps 14 years ago (when I got my first 1 and the lack of variety that you were able to get)
One deformity I'd be on the lookout for is Diamond Eye, specifically with dragonscale bettas. Some less than ethical breeders or wholesalers sometimes sell Diamond Eye bettas as something special when you're really just getting a blind fish
Is that like the silver ring around the eye?
@@KaylaWhalen Diamond Eye is when the scales of a betta grow over their eyes and make them blind, very common with dragonscale bettas
I’ve been thinking of getting a betta soon, so this was really helpful! Good to know they can be prone to gill flukes.
Glad I could help!
I adore that crowntail male! I have a black orchid crowntail male & female, a successful spawning currently under close eye! I followed your system for breeding, and watching the tiny babies is so much fun! Love your three pairs, cant wait to see the projects as they progress.
I'm so excited to see what the fry look like! Beautiful betas
Great content as always bro. Thanks for sharing, can't wait to see the fry
Honestly a lot of the time I intentionally choose a depressed looking betta. It's surprising how quickly they can turn it around if you put them in an established tank.
Great video nick! Those are some stunning Betta's you have purchased mate!. Can't wait for more updates on the breeding project 🙂
Interesting, Nick. Thanks. I was just looking at Bettas yesterday and thought I could use a bit more information. This was really helpful. Thanks again.
When I got my male betta it was horrible looking, I felt sorry for it, dull colors, fungus on fins and inactive, it was housed completely inappropriate and given low quality food. But today, one year later, perfect fins, active and beautiful…….that is also fun, to make a change if you have the right conditions for the fish. I had to medicate it with anti fungal medicine and so on, but to see the change was amazing.
Great 👍 info on Betta selection, definitely 1 for the library 📚. 👍🏴
Great pairs!
Be careful with mixing tail types especially crowntail to any other because they usually result in "messy" fin form. Its all in great fun as trial and error, but could potentially be harder to find homes for the ones with messy fins as they're not as desirable as others.
Love the content as always and good luck! 👍🏼
Also careful when breeding for pure white or black. Bettas have problems with those two colour pigments as fry of those colours can die on mass without some crossing in their genes.
love the full black one
First pair will have shorter fins than the male longer than the female long fin is dominant. Second pair will make Half sun betta. This is a good choice of colour and a risk but one I've just bred black half sun there's none in Australia atm. Good choice mate they will have nice coloured tails like plakat. Third pair will lose dumbo because it is recessive you may get a couple. Not sure which colour will dominate I'm trying a gold male and black galaxy female next. Good luck mate 😎
Thank you! It's really helpful 🙂
You're welcome 😊
Hi 👋I love your channel so much and I have some glowlight and silver tip tetras and I was wondering if you could do a video of how to easily breed one of those species😁😊😲😁
Omg I love them alllll!!!!
Im planning to buy a betta fish. Lucky me I watched this video first. 🙂🤗
You should do an updated version including skull dents and non-smooth top contours as what not to look for. There are so many bettas labeled "High Grade" who have these deformities.
Sweet - that half moon long fin koi could be my boy's long lost twin !!!
I can't seem to keep my betta fish alive. I have had 4 and lost them all that is what brought me to this vid today. Thank you
I have a super Delta beta he is healthy and awesome .
I saw a betta fish in the store who was beautiful colorful healthy and even started to flare up my finger I'm really really hoping he's still at the shop when I'm ready to get him
So beautiful
Betta fish lover.. ✌🏻 from Malaysia
Nice
Awesome video!! U got a great eye for pairing! Do u sell bettas? Would love to buy some of those quality bettas! Sub this for sure!
Hi.can i put betas together with other small fish in one aquarium such as guppy or gold fish?
Hello Bro!!!❤
My betta has its tail weird, the upper part is pointing down like its actually broken or something, but other than that he is completly okay and never had trouble with anything.
Help us in differentiate ohm female with plackart female......
I got two. Bought from Meijer store. Poor things was half dead. Today they are gorgeous. If I had room I would have bought all of them. They all was half dead.
would it be a good head to have a blue male betta and a white female in the sam 10gal tank? there's great shades on both sides of the tank.
where's a good place to get good quality bettas? i tried to order some guppies online, but it was very expensive and the fish were extremely disappointing, nothing like the picture, so I'm a little nervous about ordering now, but the ones at my local shops aren't great quality either. any recommendations?
How much did you end up spending for the 3 pair..?
Isn’t it hard to pick colors since once change? It seems the ones they sell are so young that the coloring completely changes as the betta gets older. Thoughts?
What do you do with the extra females laying around? I assume that you will sale all the males.
how did you sell your betta
I’ve had several dreams abt going to the store and checking out all the bettas but I could never find a good one 😭
Most betta fish you see in the store is not a good representation of what they will look like when you get them home.. if you have a nice tank for them they will definitely perk up their colours will come out their fins will heal and they will be extremely active they are just barely surviving in the little cups in the store
👍
Crown tail male x Cambodian female will result in comb tail fry presuming they are both homogenous fish
Did u sell that from phil?
Did UA-cam say why they removed it for being inappropriate?
Nope...
I need to get 2 more females now
I bought a betta fish but he died a week later i didnt know anything about them he also had fin rot i didnt know and thought he looked cool and bought him 😢
I absoulutly love better . I have kept a female sorority tank. The problems I get, are my bettas, get a big stomach and eventually after about a month die. 😩 My tank is fully cycled. Now the bettas i get are not cheap and would love to keep another female sorority, but.... Any thoughts?
Bad food and too much. You are killing them with bloat.
In addition to the other commenter's suggestions, betta sororities put a tremendous amount of stress on the fish, which means parasites and illnesses can easily get the upper hand. You may even have a problem with the source of your bettas, where there are genetic or parasitic issues throughout the supplier's stock.
Wait was the original video removed
Yes for some reason
Save the ones that need it the most!!!
First
hi, so can you give me a tip i have some bettas and i want to breed them but do i need to feed them baby brine shrimp or do i just feed them egg yolks? or some alterative foods cuz its very hard to find the foods for feed them near me
Hmmm i just bought a lavender dumbo ear betta but later found out it has a popeye
Why did youtube flag this video the first time you uploaded? Like, how was that promoting violence lol
Idekkkk
I looked at all of the betta fish at my towns Pets At Home store and I noticed every betta fish is losing colour and have torn fins and swollen gills. I won’t be buying from them ever again
how to notice female bettah
This video should be renamed "How to choose a great betta if you're interested in breeding them". There's nothing wrong with giving a home to a betta who needs a little TLC. My gentle boy Dumbo has lived with my guppies since he was little. He has such long fins and he isnt the greatest swimmer, which hints at a birth defect...but there isnt a day I regret getting him and he is very happy.
It’s cruel actually in Betta industry. So much betta died and got sick on the way, and most of them were kept in such a small container！
I always buy bettas from breeders since they are worth your money. They are healthy and in good form already. It's easy for them to groom. Breeders also give you the best advice in grooming bettas.
there is more fulfillment in healing bettas in poor conditions than to buy a perfect one in the shop
I choose the ugliest one then i cure them and show them to the previous owner on how you should take care of ur bettas. Bettas are not decorative items they're living things
