“I did my research :)” *Buys the little tanks literally everyone says to avoid* ???

“As long as the betta fish are happy” *puts them in the smallest tank I’ve ever seen*

would have been better to just buy a 10 gallon and a divider those are way to small

Awful. No sense of what is good for the fish. No plants or shelter from the horrible fluorescent light. Just gaudy lights and decorations and treat the fish like they're just decorations too.

You are doing so many wrong things The tanks are too small When the babies hatch where do you put them ?they need seperate tanks each They should have at least 5 gallon tanks Did you get any food for them or plants or filters in the tank You should breed like to like Dumbos ears to dumbo ears Veil tail to veil tail etc Put a barrier between the tanks

you want to breed bettas but buying one for $20 is too much..?

please don't put them in one of those tiny tanks that's inhumane.... 2.5 gallon minimum heated and filtered.

I lost so many brain cells watching this video

You did lots of “research”... *cough cough* half a RU-vid video.

In my pet shop they won’t let you buy the fish if you haven’t set up the tank and they have point system so for example like a 6 gallon tank (about 28 litres) they half the litres so it’s about 14 points and like a goldfish could be like 10 points depending on how big it gets it’s really useful for people who have kids that just see a cute fish and with a 2.5 gallon tank

Alright, so. I'd like to give some information on breeding these guys. There's A LOT to know and I see a few things wrong. I want you both to have success, but I'm very sorry. But there's a very high chance you will not be successful. You can get the fish to breed but caring for the fry and what they need is the most complicated and difficult part. I'll try my best to go through as much as I can to help inform you guys. 1• these guys are a okay pair, male has nice finnage (looks Halfmoon to me personally) he has alright form, scaling looks okay. But one thing, there's a very high change that this male is a marble betta. Which means over time he might change from white to having more blues, reds, blacks, and all sorts of other colors. I'd probably grade this fish just from looking at him breeding qauilty, you guys did a good job looks wise on the male from what I see in this video. I could be wrong. Now to the female, she's also alright. Her form isn't ideal, and her finnage could be better. Overall color looks nice, scaling looks alright, and she has wonderful Dumbo ears. Both male and female are still small. Now this brings me up to conditioning and getting these fish ready for breeding. - •2. Conditioning your betta pair: From what I see both male and female are still young, the male still is growing out his fins and most likely as a whole (I can tell due to the transparency on the ends of the males finnage, indicating growth). The female also is growing out too, she's still small and needs a good amount of time to grow. I'd say feed this pair good foods such as; frozen blood works, beaf heart (< for growth), frozen brine shrimp, qauilty pellets, and other frozen foods. Feed these at a pretty good amount everyday with a heated aqaurium(

Oh my god. This is cruelty. You put them in 0.7 gal tanks! And after the rocks went in it would have averaged around 0.5 gal! The MINIMUM for a betta to THRIVE is 2.5 gal, with 5 gal and up recommended. "we did our research" my a*s. Also, you even said in the video when picking out the tiny tanks that "all that matters is that they are happy". They cant be happy with those tanks with no filter and no cover to hide in. Ill let you pass with not giving them heaters since im pretty sure you said that you live in Florida. But seriously, spend 50 dollars to buy 2 5 gal starter tanks with heaters and filters and buy them some plant decor so they can hide. Your fish will be so much happier and most likely live much longer.

The tanks are way to small

"we are going to do it smartly, and we are going to right" "Cheaper is better"(nop) " the fish is happy" Lies

the long finned male bettas need atleast 5 gallons. 10 recommended. long finn3d male bettas like the delta tail, halfmoon and such. and before breeding you need to have all the proper equipment first like a minimum 10 gallon breeding tank, a sponge filter and airpump, heater, proper water parameters for breeding and raising fry,live food for the frys, 1 gallon jars to separate the males when they grow up. but before all that you have to ready the male and female for breeding. fatten them up by feeding them proteins like bloodworms. they have to be in proper health and in mating mood before breeding because they can both die from exhaustion. also you need medicine coz there would be fin nipping while breeding, you need a separate quarantine tank for that.

WHY ARE YOU TOUCHING THEM AND KEEPING THEM IN A SMALL TANK

Advice: Dont breed those two. They are not the same type of bettas. You should breed the same tail types of bettas.

You say you do your research but you clearly didn’t they need 2.5 gallons minimal but to me that’s still too small because once you add rocks and a decor so3 gallons is what I remained they need a filter and they were flaring at each outher because they don’t like each other you should have divided ed that 10 gallon tank that the other one was in so that I’ll have 3.3 gallons in a be one tank great idea

1g is 2 small for a betta

Okay I’m no expert, but I know that you should at least have a heater, and a 3 gallon tank, or even bigger! You should also acclimate the fish to the different temperature before just throwing them in! One gallon tank! That shits crazy it’s no better than the cup they came in! I’m a little in between with the filter thing though, my policy is that as long as you make sure to change the water frequently to avoid too much ammonia in the water it should be okay, but if you have a filter that’s also great as long as you cycled it. Shouldn’t there also be some live plants in there and places for them to hide?

You should not breed till you have fry food ready micro worms vinegar eels they don’t eat fish flakes

Thanks guys - your enthusiasm is infectious. I too have gotten the betta bug recently. I didn't do my homework before getting one and started out with a 1 gallon for my female betta with built in sponge filter. I then did some homework and got a heater. The tank was just too small, so upgraded to 2.5. Well - I realized that that was too small and now have a 6.5 planted tank that I am cycling. I'm in my 2nd week of cycling and it will probably take another 3-4 weeks to complete. In the meantime my poor little girl is in a 2.5 gallon tank with heater, sponge filter, and some plants and a betta hammock. I have a variety of foods like daphnia, blood worms, brine shrimp, 'bug bites', and if I am able to kill a fruit fly or get a mosquito out of the bird bath, I feed her live or freshly killed insects when I can. I still only have the one female betta because I don't think I could handle getting a bigger tank to accommodate more females. I want her to have a good home and thrive.

bro just stop

Please do not try to crossbreed those two bettas! U might not get Super healthy baby’s. But you can try! And also get a bigger tank for the female too! Edit: other than that I really love this betta series keep it up!

The fish will not be happy in a small tank. You are better off using a shallow 3$ tote to breed your betta's in. Breeding them isn't easy. The 2 you want to breed might not at all.

You’re supposed to have money to take care of animal and no matter the price. You need a proper tank regardless. If it doesn’t fit your pocket then don’t even bother to breed them. No hate just criticism. I love your channel and I don’t want you getting attacked by other people.

The TANK IS WAY TO SMALL

*face palm* You do not know what you're doing. What are you going to do with the fry?

If I were you, don’t breed them until you do some more research. The ezcare tanks are great at hospital tanks or holding tanks, that’s what I use them for because they have the handy back for easy water changes. But it’s not good for a active healthy betta. Trust me, I made the same mistake when I first started the betta hobby. Each betta needs at least 2.5 gallons, including lots of plants, a heater, and a filter. And if you plan on breeding them, the tank should be at least 10 gallons and covered top to bottom with plants and ornaments. As they breed you need to watch them the whole time because Bettas are very aggressive and can decide to fight to the death at any given time. Also be aware that breeding your bettas, may result in one of the pair dying, and if they live it usually stortens their life span. I’m so attached to all of my bettas, I did soooo much research because I was thinking about breeding, but in the end I just didn’t have the time nor did I want to take the risks. Breeding bettas and then raising fry is a full time job.

"We did our research" , smh. You need BIGGER tanks. Sksksk

I have 18 bettas in total but haven't bred them because I don't have my full time for them due to my work schedule. Giving all your time when breeding a betta is very important.

What a shame for such beautiful fish

lets buy the smallest tank we can and then put useless plastic decoration inside! For 30 you could get a bigger tank and put the females together (well. At least 50 lt and 5-6 females)

Make sure to acclimate Upgrade to a bigger tank (minimum is 2.5 but you could always buy a single 10 and divide it but it'd be best to get two tanks) And get a filter and heater 🙂

That tank is way too small

You are killing them ... I hate this type of people that I just to have a beautiful fish they put it wherever INCREÍBLE THIS IS SAD

DO YOUR FREAKING RESEARCH BEFORE YOU GO BUY STUFF

Cycle your tanks... Your like a couple of beginners !

Does the owner even feed them?

I recommend buying breeder bettas from local breeders or online so you dont possibly breed problems (which come with pet store bettas a lot). Also, if you join betta fish groups then you can find a bunch of great advice and help.

Make sure to do a bunch of research before breeding them! Especially having things to take care of the babies afterwards! Such as brine shrimp and then jars for the jarring stage! Some good channels to check out are simply Betta, creative pet keeping, and lifewithpets! All good channels who have bred Bettas and are very informative. The tanks you got for them are quite small but with frequent water changes they should be fine (since you also have a heater and filter). But a note for the future, the minimum permanent tank for a Betta is 2.5 gallons, 5 is ideal! Also you’ll probably be best to wait a little bit before breeding, especially just to be sure they aren’t sick! (Also have fun watching the white one change color, they very rarely stay white as they are in the store as stress changes their color!) but seriously, good luck!!

It’s gonna die by the looks of your knowledge

They need a pump you know right?

That is stupid you said you are doing it the right way and that tank is 0.75 gallons and they need a filter and a 2.5 gallon at least

Get two 5 gallon tanks two ten gallon takes separate five gallon takes for the Bettas one of the 10 gallons for breeding and one for the hatched babies and when you move them use a net

Those new fish are so stunning! The tanks look cool but they are a little to small, I’m looking forward to seeing their new tanks soon!

1: those tanks are way to small ( they need to be at least 2.5 gallons) 2: betas are not a good first fish. You need to do a lot of research before you get one and you need the right Equipment e.g. filter, heater, water conditioner, 2.5 gallon tank, plants, food, aquarium salt, hp teaser

Those tanks are terrible...

These fish won’t live for long with out a filter

Please dont kill the female

You picked out very beautiful fish! I've been keeping and breeding bettas for 13 years 😅 As you saw in some other comments, they do need bigger homes. Cramping bettas in too small of a tank can cause fin rot and other bacterial infections (bigger tanks are easier to maintain!!) Also they need decoration and places to hide, filters are a 100% must, and a heater helps alot. Bettas are tropical and need their water to be between 74-81°F Do as much research as possible before breeding or it can go terribly wrong. Breeding can be very complicated and fry can be very hard to care for when you are unprepared. Im looking forward to seeing updates on these two!🐟🐠🐡

honestly, i'd take those tanks back asap. they're kinda crap, not worth it. food and poop gets stuck in the grate at the bottom, and fouls up your water. your bettas won't be in peak breeding shape in something like that. my betta breeder buddies, even though their bettas are in small containers, keep the water filtered and heated to keep their bettas in top breeding shape. i'd get at least 1.5 gallons and a small betta heater, if you don't wanna spend too much. or wait for Petco/smart's Dollar per Gallon sale and get them all 10 gallon tanks for ten bucks each.

idk why i’m watching this channel. i’m watching fish get abused

well if you did your research like you said...first thing youd probably learn is that betas need at least a 2.5 gallon tank. Also the tank Ares is in HAS TO HAVE A HOOD! I learned from my mistakes and had 2 betas jump out

Nice bettas, too bad you guys haven't done your research on tank sizes.

Betas need at least 2.5 gallons

Thank your Brooke

Hey guys can you please do your research. Bettas need at least a 2.5 gallon . So can you please DO YOUR RESEACH thank you

This video is so wrong........

The tanks are perfectly fine in my opinion

That tank is wayy too smal

He says he did his research but those tanks combine aren’t enough for one

Don’t do it

idk if anyone mentioned this but you need to put the fish while they’re in the store bought containers into the water to accommodate them to the temperature, bc they can go into shock when you just move them straight into the new tank

The fish are very pretty but Im sorry those thanks are trash.... dislike from me.

I raised my beta from the size of a pencil tip to the size of the beta fish she would buy at a store

BTW breeding is very tricky with betta fish, so be careful!

I feel sad for the Betta fish . The tank is to small

You should name the girl Hera and the other one Zeus

Awww, kindly consider putting them in larger tanks.

the tanks are way too small 😤🙄 if you can't give them the home that they can live comfortably in and the home that they can swim and be happy in just don't buy them 😑 even the tanks don't have filters and heaters🙄

The white one is stunning. Great choice. :)

The white betta is awsme bro... ❤️❤️❤️

The bettas in our store never look this good this store clearly takes great care of their bettas ...please give them more than 1 gallon they need space to live and thrive ...as an owner of 6 bettas i reccomend you give them at least 2....... ..2 1/2gallons if you can as well as filtration system in order to give them the best chance at life ...they may be fine for now but you want to think about long term for and give these precious creatures a long healthy life

It’s way to small

I love bettas bro infact they're my main topic these past few days.

These tanks are only slightly bigger than the cups they were in. So cruel!

I have betta fish also and the one thing I do is have a tank with a heater, filter, and air bubbler. You also need plants and something for it to hide in. They need a water temp of 78 degree to stay healthy. To properly acclimate you need to bob the fish in water with a ziplock bag and slowly for at least an hour drip a little bit of the tank water into their bag.

oh cmon man.... give them a bigger tank, that shit is just depressin'

Please do research before assuming that breeding betta fish is easy..just please make sure you know everything there is...bettas enjoy and exploring, you probably heard this a millon times but them tanks are a hot a**mess. You guys are better off buying a cheap 10 gallon and dividing it. They are such smart creatures they can be taught little tricks and everything. Please treat them well.

I love Betta fish to

I understand that you did not do your research, and that upsets me you do not have fry food for the fry, and the tank size should be at Least 2.5 gallons ( I recommend 5gal if you want alot of decor) with a filter and a heater, so take it from people with experience, I hope you see this comment and understand the amount of effort it takes to breed and take care of Betta fish.

Your petco is amazing! I seen a marimo mossball and I can’t find one! The betas are also beautiful fish excellent, but I think you need a lil bigger tank.

I think it is cool that you love bettas so much but the tanks you got aren't l suitable for keeping bettas in at all. A betta needs at least a 2.5 gallon tank and if you really want to breed your betta you should at least have a 10 gallon tank. On top of that you should cycle your tank before getting your fish. Bettas need places to hide and plants in the tank. Finally its better acclimate you fish so the don't experience temperature shock. Please know that I am not an expert but I try to learn as much as I can about my pets so they can have a wonderful life. This is in no way hate directed towards you just some helpful advice, anyway I hope you take this into consideration.

Probably a little small but better then the cups. As long as their is a heater and filter they should be fine...

I love that you put a yearbook between the two Betta

Do you even know what a Betta fish needs?

These tanks are too small. bettas need at least 5 gallons but more is recommended for the type of bettas bought. Breeding with bettas is hard. You have to be able to take care of the fry and keep them safe. The setups for them is just not acceptable.

The tanks are to small

All I got to say is good luck gentlemen breeding bettas it is the hardest thing my nephew ever got me enrolled in ever. You need lots of tanks lots of filtration almond leaves and a Keen eye to watch your mail and your female to see when they're ready and when they're done. Like I said up above good luck.

Don’t touch betta fish it’ll take their natural slime off and kill them!

You guys need to do more research pls! Betta fish need at least a 3 gallon tank but that’s still inhumane a good size tank is 5 gal. And gravel usually isn’t the best type of soil to use sand is or just a bear bottom cause gravel is harder to clean while doing water changes. And plus plants are needed for Betta to hide in for more comfort.

What kind of water do u use,tap??

I have an Elephant Ear male named Topaz. He's reddish purple with a white fine. The other fin is smaller and clearer, and it could be a skin condition, but he's unique and that's why I love him 😊

Last time I checked your not supposed to pick up a fish with your hands and the tank is way too small I won't be surprised if those poor Lil guys die very soon

I had a betta for almost a year, I had him in a tank with guppies, mollies, and a plecko, all the other fish had passed, and my betta Poseidon survived dropsy three times, and my step dad felt bad for the other fish that had passed, so he bought me new ones... bigger ones. Over night the bigger fish had ripped donnie to shreds, he had a wonderful teal green and blue color, and it was turned a dark crimson red from bruising, and all of his fins were ripped off. RIP donnie

The tanks is small....its cruel.

I love watching your videos. You guys have such good energy and a total love for fish too. I have a male veiltail betta named Normie. He was so happy when I finally upgraded his home to a 3 gallon heated and filtered tank. People kept telling me that he would be, but when you see for yourself how ecstatic they get.. It's so awesome! He's supper active now and friendly. I love him enough to keep the little guy as happy as I can. Good luck on all your fishkeeping and breeding endeavours!

They need at least 2.5 gallons
