shuntao xu I'm upset we didn't see the winners*. There are different categories. You've got gender, type, and in some competitions, color. In fact, one fish may win in several categories.
Dylan-lel you can keep females in a tank together as long as thou put 4 or more in at a time and have louts of plants in there with them. It's called a sorority tank
As someone who breeds bettas but haven't yet shown them, I'm shocked that some of those fish actually had really bad form. Surprised they weren't just petstore but actually bred, surprised they were even let in as entries. I really hope they're more stringent with entries now, it's given me the confidence to enter
You can often keep females together! They may not be quite as bright as males, but a nice sorority of betta females is fun because you can get all different colors!
Actually you can keep them together In a 100 gallon tank for 3 females, or 2-3 males, or 2 females 1 male, or whatever, just don’t exceed 3 fish. Each fish actually needs at least 29-50 gallons of space. Yes, they are very territorial.
That's because they are our buddies! My Beta Snowflake was the smartest and loved his Mother. He loved balls and treats! Lol d Liked me to pet him too.
Ah yes, but my betta is the ultimate form of betta. I'm joking, he looks like my profile picture but with a couple extra dots for good measure. Still, I think he's the best, I wouldn't take any of these fish over him.
My Delta Tail Male Betta, Peep, has really unique coloring that I haven’t seen on any other bettas. His body is a soft, pearly pink and fades to a richer, blood red in his fins. The very tips of his fins have pearly baby blue edges and his eyes are super, SUPER blue. I’m used to having either really red or really blue bettas and when I saw him in the pet store, he caught my eye immediately. He is such a beautiful fish, but probably wouldn’t win in one of these, I mean come on, there was an actual GOLDEN FISH.
My boy ya call that piece of trash a beta fish thats almos a gold fish, see ma boy Fefe, well thats a real alpha beta mega fish, if ya dont believe me well se my profile picture well guess thats a real boy
Wouldn't having all these bettas together be a very stressful situation for them? Poor fish flaring and swimming frantically for hours...so much for beauty.
If there are any Betta professionals out there, i would like to ask this question. How do these guys possible survive in the wild, when there so aggressive all the time?
In the wild they do not look like domesticated Bettas. They are fast with short fins. If they fight, they have room to run away and hide. The more spaced out they are, the better.
These are some of the most beautiful find fish you're going to see breeding from all over the world come to show off their their generations of breeding
***** I have one from Petco and he is a delta tail and he has such a big tail and it's clear black, red, and he has a metallic green zebra print on the top of his tail.
bettafishygirl2004 I have two, one's a Cambodian betta who is pink on his body and has purple fins that's tipped with magenta then the other one is a quite small crown tail betta who is mainly pink and purple and has blue tipped fins. One's from Petco and the other is from PetSmart.
It's probably because they are depressed I got two from petco they were a pale in color but when I brought them home they became really beautiful and more vibrant.
get a unique pair through your own breeding.. you'll have some winners. pick different stores. I am lucky to have a mom and pop like place..and two big box slobs. Between the three, I'll make my own pet betta for family and I.
These Betta fishes are amazingly beautiful! I love the electric blues and now im starting to full in love with the fire reds. Both short and flared tails I like in both. Its sad that dumb ass people feed these as live prey to there animals and have fights with them. They are not fighter fish with other fishes! only against their own type especially male bettas!
My kids love their betas. We have a male and female in the same tank with 4 other fish of the same kind and they get a long with zero problems. Such beautiful fish
I have a plakat double tail , and a rescue dragon scale rose tail/feather tail and the rescue puts on a great show. flares , then floats fins rippling, he was so clamped up when I got him it's great to see him put on a display. the plakat, is still young, he's more of a chase than pose when Un carded
Ruben Vera Walmart might have an AQUATIC SECTION BUT BETTAS ARE FAR FROM WALMART FISH DUH!!!!! I HAPPEN TO HAVE A BETTA AND HE'S A GOOD BOY!!!! YOU JUST HAVE TO KNOW HOW TO TAKE CARE OF HIM THAT'S ALL.
I had one that looked just like the one at 5:34 a few years ago except he has more of a violet hue rather than blue. He just came from the local pet store though. I'm not sure why people keep saying that their betta looks bad in comparison... They are all beautiful fish, they are just often mistreated (not intentionally for the most part, people are lead to believe lies). These fish in the video are in perfect and pristine conditions, happier fish will display their fins like that more readily, its the same for all species. They aren't usually happy in betta bowls and especially not in the cups they are kept in at places like wall-mart and petstores. Just because they can survive in those water conditions does not mean they should, and they can't be expected to look their best in conditions they aren't happy in. For a betta to be healthy and look as good as they can they should have at _absolute minimum_ a 1 gallon tank though it really should be bigger - at least 2 - 3 gallons > The temperature should be between 24-27°C (76-82°F) (they are tropical fish) > They don't need a filter though you should regularly clean the tank water to remove excess waste/food and to prevent ammonia build up among other things. Look up how often you should clean the tank out (it is based on size and the amount of water. If yours isn't displaying it's fins it could just be because it's not happy, sick, old or stressed.
I have a rare orange VT Dalmatian betta by the name of Magikarp and I found him at Petco. does he have a chance of winning? also does my rainbow spade veil tail Rainbow Dash, and my white and blue snowflake like double tail betta Yuki have a chance at winning too?
No I am not delusional I hope you know some of those breeders breed bettas especially to sell to pet stores but it does not mean they can't win. My magikarp is one of the most beautiful fishes I've ever seen same with my Yuki. He's the most stunning double tail I've ever had other than my late Valentino (sip buddy) anyway you obviously are no expert because you've never seen my boys so who's to say that my bettas have no chance if winning? If I ever enter them I'll let the judges decide that. Not some commenter on RU-vid who hasn't even seen them so good day to you sir.
as teens, we would put them in the same jar & watch'em tear each other apart.. mine was a true gladiator w/ 20+ victories, 1 was so amazing he bit one of the fish eyeball out of the socket & dangling.. these fish r brutally fun to watch, stayin true to their nature of being called fighting fish!
Katrina hazlewood They are there because of the competition. I am pretty sure that their actual owners kept them in good conditions because of how beautiful the bettas colors are :D
"im actually from america and we were invited to be judges, my husband was also in the interview of course, and we came here to help out with judging" LUL
Your argument makes no sense... Be sounds different than bet. Bi as in binary is different from Bi in bin. English phonetics are full of variety and you have not given an example of be making the sound bay as in beta. The reason beta sounds the way it does is because it is a letter of the greek alphabet. Betta has a Siamese origin and it pronounced bet-ta. But don't take my word for it, consult a dictionary: www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/betta
I am so happy to know they did not fight these fish. When I read international competition on these I thought. NO don't let them fight. Some of these fish are so beautiful. I had no idea they even could look like these. I have really only seen them at the fairs. They always looked so sad and lonely in those small bags or cups.
Blib Blab HA HA HA HA NO SHIT SHERLOCK!!!! THAT'S NOT FUCKING FUNNY THE FISH IS CALLED SIAMESE FIGHTING FISH OR JAPANESE FIGHTING FISH!!! NOT FARTING FISH!!!!
kia p davis what is wrong with you? lol. I don't care about the fish's name or what's his superpowers. I'm just pointing out how that guy mispronounced that word. ...you idiot
+tachikoma747 My guess is that the breeder either couldn't sell it for show price, or that their was something wrong with the fin/body shape that meant it couldn't be shown or bred.
I love my bettas to pieces, although they are not show quality like these beautiful bettas. I like to tell myself they are, though :) They're perfect in my eyes!
They could make the fish comparison easier if they used software to compare photographs under the same light and distance conditions. That way they can easily compare colors, size, shape, etc. in an objective way and not just by opinions. I've seen bettas in many colors, but I didn't know that they had so many fin varieties too. That betta that looks like metallic golden/copper 2:29 is amazing. It's a pitty that they don't live so long :-( And that you cannot have many together in the most awesome colorful fish tank ever because they'll kill each other.
