I agree. Generally though, it’s an issue of space for Bettas. Since they are required to be in seperate tanks it’s not feasible for a pet store to keep 20, 5-10 gal tanks for each Betta. So they remain in cups. I know most pet store employees try their hardest to care appropriately for their animals but it’s hard to maintain low enough ammonia levels in little cups which is generally what kills the betta. Also many places don’t know that Bettas require heated water and again heating those cups is nearly impossible. What really should happen is that pet stores should stop carrying Bettas and we should buy from reputable breeders but that would drive up cost significantly which most people don’t want for what they consider a throwaway pet.

@Catiku_Cat

Ай бұрын

​@@mostlyghosteyanother idea is that the betas could be kept in a large tank with each other, but there is a partition that water can pass through seperating them. This would make it easier to heat the water, would keep the bettas from fighting, and the larger tank would help the water quality.

@nekomataumbreon

There's only one place around here that sells bettas (as far as I'm aware), but they do pretty well at caring for them. Ofc it's a smaller building so they can't have huge enclosures for all the bettas but they counter this by regular cleaning and cycling. You'll almost never see a sick betta there and when you do it's usually because an employee hasn't gone through there yet to check on em.

@alexpope4642

they could just put the cups on a consistent heating element. Other than that though I got no solutions for the rest other than just not having to have as many bettas on hand at one time.

I had a betta. I saw him in a Georgia Walmart and he looked so pitiful, (I wish I could have rescued all of them). He made it all the way back to North Carolina in my cup holder, with me constantly keeping an eye on him. He was so beautiful, I named him Cinnamon. He was my baby and I knew he was happy. He loved making bubble nests. I loved when he would jump and play with my fingers (more than likely trying to fight them😂). He loved sweeping the gravel from underneath the sea shell in his tank and napping underneath. He was so smart (he was!). AWWW this back so many memories. I still have pictures of him.

I just rescued a betta with my fiance the other day. He’s so small he could barely eat and his fins have mostly rotted off. We tried crushing pellets but they’re too big still. So I got him flakes and he eats those no problem. He’s dark red and white now but had almost no color when we got him. His fins are still in rough shape but he’s happy and we’re trying our best.

Bettas are the most mistreated fish. Always remember since a kid seeing them in those tiny cups.

For anyone who might not know this, including her, he might not be lazy but. His fins just might be too heavy for him to keep swimming for long. It’s kind of the downside to getting long finned fish. The fins don’t stop growing, and after a certain point it just might make it took difficult for them to swim by weighing them down

Their fins contain nerves and blood vessels, so you definitely do NOT want to trim their fins.

late reply but@@JustaKarenDiscoveredTheIntrnet considering it was a water-dyed product I have my bets it may be a Methylene Blue. Good to treat fungus, parasites and also to clear nitrite/ammonia levels.

Thank you for saving him. Fish are amazing and special creatures and very precious as pets. Every life matters in my opinion. ❤️🙏❤️🙏

What transformation ❤ he’s lucky you found him when you did. It’s also nice to know that fish at that state can still be rehabilitated if the individual is willing to put in the care and time. Awesome for you for doing that.

What a heartwarming story . The little guy (or girl) really does look to be smiling. All it took was love 💕

I had one beta fish who lived for 5 years, but my favorite one was one that I saved from the brink of death. She was the cutest thing ever and loved to follow my finger when I moved it on the glass. She had these big eyes and was really playful. She always greeted me at the surface of her fish tank for food. Rip to all my fishy babies. I’m a dog and bird owner now, but honestly fish owners are some of the most respectable people on earth. Thank you all for looking after tiny animals people find “boring” because they are most certainly not. ❤️

He got better because he knew he was in good hands ,he felt your vibes really.

The way people treat animals tells me more about them then they ever could

The fish loves her. She did him a love deed.

Honestly as a species we are learning alot, albeit slow. I'm glad small fish tanks are not the norm as much as they used to be, NEVER let them silence your feelings. 👍

I have a question, I’m currently doing the same. I have a little male crown tail betta who has an issue with his swim bladder. He swims almost vertical. He’s doing a lot better compared to before but I’m not sure what the cause of his bad swimming is. He isn’t as lethargic as he was 3 days ago when we got him, but he is quite hunched. I don’t know what the cause is, any ideas for how to treat it?

I am so glad this lady rescued this betta. I just rescued a sick betta from Petco just a month or so ago, every once a week, I change his water, and now he is getting better. I named mine Denzel 💙

Oh my gosh, you are an ANGEL for saving that deserving fish, and you did a great job of healing him. I am happy you did save him, he is SO BEAUTIFUL BECAUSE of you. And yes he is smiling 😃

That's a really unique color it developed

betta usually dont smile like i had one it was in excellent condition well fed but it was always in agressive mode.

love this! :D my first goldfish, shona, was a literal rescue. my mum was outside chatting to a neighbour, and she saw another neighbours cat strutting down the street, all proud of itself. she thought she saw something in it's mouth, so she ran over to see, and it dropped a goldfish in it's garden and ran off. so mum grabbed the fish, put it in her sun hat and ran into the house with it. we got it into a basin of water, and started swirling the water, to try and help get it into it's lungs. it was touch and go, we kept an eye on her all night. in the end we gave her a cap full of whisky in her water, and she perked right up. i had her for i think 5 years after that. she had almost no tail when i got her, most of her fins were shredded from the cats mouth, and half her scales were gone too. but she grew them all back and had a stunning tail and fins! we did try and find out where she'd come from, but no one seemed to know. to this day, no idea. she was a great fish :D

That is absolutely shocking as most of the rescue groups I've been in basically say if a cat got it, it's more humane to put the rabbit, bird, etc. down because of the bacteria in a cat's claws & mouth.

Well Done! nearly 50 years ago my father saved our Goldfish that was floating & looking pretty sick. My sis & I watched him gently massage it under the water and to this day I'm not sure what really happened. We were young kids and he just said; Let's try and see if we can help. Maybe he pushed air from the fish or something, I'll never know, but after 10 minutes it was fine. And we thought dad was a legend!

This is beautiful, she gave the fish a reason to live his best life, and he fought for it. He survived and now he’s thriving. If he could give an account of humans, based on his interaction, he’d say that the person that saved him was the best, most loving, gentle and compassionate soul he’s ever met!

Bless you for helping this little guy.

His eyes even changed colors!

Seeing the complete 180 in his personality and energy at the beginning was amazing, and the full metamorphosis at the end was just beautiful, shout out and kudos to Emma and those who save even the smallest creatures!! ♥️

I am totally SUPRISED. I've had fish all my life including betta fish, and had no idea that a sick fish could be saved. I was under the impression that a sick fish had no chance of survival. One of my fish was a blue betta who lived for 8 years.

You gotta do more of this series. I love to see that not everybody believes all of these misconceptions that circle these animals. I have a betta of my own and he has been with me for 10 months.

I love bettas. I can only keep them alive for 2 years though....I love how they get more vibrant as they age in good quality water.

This is really a heartwarming story ❤❤❤

Saving fish is honestly the hardest thing to do. Because you can't co-operate with them like a cat or dog, it really is down to timing and luck whether they recover or not.

I’d agree. I have several tanks and I breed bettas. I’ve had guppies who were on the brink of death and I managed to bring back. It’s so, so difficult and it gets expensive, but watching the life flow back into their eyes is so rewarding. I had an infestation of ich once. It was in my guppy tank, most of my fish managed to recover just fine but this one endler was suffering so much. She was nearly dead, and I considered culling her. But I decided not to and to give her one last shot. I separated her and treated her for ich. If she wasn’t looking better in the morning, I’d cull her. Next morning rolls around, and she’s lively again. She still had ich, but the day before she was lethargic and wasn’t moving much. In the morning she was swimming around and eating again

I love betta fish, they are so silly and have funny personalities. They really make beautiful and fun pets. Give them a proper set up and watch them flourish. Little bowls and tiny tanks are a no go. They are curious fish and really intelligent so it is important that they have enough space and stimulation.

Maintaining fish tank water is an art!

NEED MORE PEOPLE LIKE THIS IN OUR WORLD

As a fellow Betta enthusiast, carry on the good work! We have had to treat our little friends with antibiotics as well, and get teased for it! 🤣 Almond leaves make a good addition to your tank as a preemptive strike against microbes. Our little friends are Ghost and Lady Di Anna Ross. ❤️🤓
