How to safely introduce new betta fish into a community tank

21 May 2010 6 Comments

???Please Read??? Hi there! Since my other community Betta tank got over 1000 views (YAY!) I searched my computer and found more clips of my old tank. Hopefully you will find this helpful. Here is a link to the breeding container I found at petsmart: www.petsmart.com ???????? About the tank: I had this tank about two years ago and it is a ten 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. ???????? 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 along. Although I would not suggest that on your first try. One male is enough. I have also heard ...

    I would put the injured one in a breeder keeper, but i don’t have one, and the pet store is 30 miles away, i can’t drive, and people don’t like going all that way to get one thing…

    :l
    SO i’m stuck there.
    I’ve been watching them closely…

    @Shaney1337 Do you have a glass vase at home? You can put the water from the tank there and that way they can still see each other. Another method is to use a fish net. Catch the fish and tape the net to the top of the tank, the fish will be in the net and water can still flow through it. Hope that helps.

    yeahhh… i have a smaller net though, no room to swim.
    lol…

    I mean, i would do that, but i’ve got the cups still from when i bought all my bettas, and should i put him in that?
