Happy Betta Fish in Community Tank
Welcome back! Today's video is about an alternative way to keep a Betta fish which is a fish tank. While fish bowl may seem more convenient and take up less room, the fish in them do not live a happy and enriched life. If you still want to keep a Betta in a bowl/container please get the biggest one that you can possibly get. The bigger the better! About the tank: I had this tank about two years ago and it is a two gal long tank. It was a low light planted tank with a submersible filter (it only did mechanical filtration). In it I had 6 female Betta, 4 Lamp eye tetras, and I later added 1 male Betta. It was an easy to keep tank and everyone got along. Unfortunately after two years my fish got infected with an internal parasite and died. I was too slow to notice the problem and didn't add the medicine fast enough. After that the tank was moved into my bedroom where I made it into a Amazon fish tank. I also own two other tanks and have read a few books about fish. I am still not a pro at fish keeping and am learning more everyday. I'll post videos of all my tanks when I get the chance. Advice: When buying fish always check if they are healthy. Also look at the Bettas temperament. If he/she is trying to attack other fish then do not get one. Try to get the calm ones. YES, fish do have different personalities and some are more aggressive while some are less. I have even read online about some people that have large community tanks and have multiple male Bettas and they get ...
Great video:)
I didn’t realize betta fish could live in a community. Mentioning the more stable temperature and less maintenance is also very practical for pet owners to know.
Yup, a lot of people don’t realize that because fish stores always talk about Betta bowls. But if you think about it in the wild Bettas co exist with other fish. If you go to a GOOD fish store you will see female Bettas in large tanks with lots of other fish.
Also starting a fish tank may be some work at first but once you establish a tank you have to do very little. Nature takes over :)
my betta also lives in a community tank.180L,and he is so happy.and he lives the other fishes alone.See video on my profile…
i think that bettas is the best aquarium fish of all,but people have to little info about them.they are unhappy is small bowls and jars.they need space and must be able to move and swim around like all fish…all animals need space..
nice aquarium :-)
Im happy that you think that :)
thanks for the comment:-)i will upload more videos about my betta and the aquarium in about 6 weeks when the plants has grown more.
keep up the good work:-)
I’ll be looking foreword to it :)
That looks like one happy community of Bettas. Check out my Male & Female, however, mine live in vases.
