After having watched through the Betta Tank series, I just occurred to me that he's a really intelligent creature. I have never seen a fish be so aware of his surroundings. the way he anticipates as you drop the pellets in front of him... so amusing

@ZSFries

Bettas are significantly on a higher level of intelligence compared to most fish in the hobby, yet they're the most abused ones, being chucked in small cups and tiny bowls. They need room to swim, and a complex environment to interact with, like the space in this video. They really do deserve better. I keep a lot of fish and I have to say bettas are my favourite, they're so aware of their surroundings of inside their tanks and also out of the tank. So far in my observation the only inactive and unresponsive bettas are depressed or sick bettas.

@ZSFries

4 жыл бұрын

Also bettas are pretty good at differentiating and memorizing humans outside their tank. My betta reacts very differently to my roommate (who constantly tease him without food) and to me (who actually feeds him) 😂. They have pretty good memories of human behaviours and mannerism too.

@@ZSFries I used to work in a pet store and it really bothered me when we got our bettas in. They where basically sealed in a tiny, smaller than a post it, plastic sleeve with yellow sometimes orange water from waste build up. These fish are champs and I love how people are dedicating tanks just to them! I have to say though my favorite two fish I have ever had the pleasure to take care of were both tiger Oscars. I found them nearly dead at a Walmart and though I had no intention of getting any more fish I had to try and rescue them. Turns out they bounced back extremely quickly! I named them Romulus and Remus and they were amazing fish, in fact more like aquatic dogs, also extremely intelligent and even affectionate as they would swim over for a "pet " whenever I cleaned the tank.

Kartie is literally the happiest fish on earth! (And that’s coming from someone with 9 happy fish!)

I don't know why FB recommended me this channel, i don't know ANYTHING about fish, i don't know how to take care of a betta or a gold fish but, i can't stop watching this is so relaxing and i just love the love this person has for his/her fish 😐 im going to suscribe. I wish i had the time, the intelligence, the tools, the patience to have a beautiful hobby like this one.

You’re such a beautiful person, thank u for listing everything in the description

Imagine Kartoffel going from a yiny container to this betta heaven. Its like winning the lottery!

The amount of time and care you put into the maintenance of the tank and fish is remarkable.

I love the recaps for some reason, they kinda say what you thought stood out, and its so poetic and I love it and it definitely doesn't make me sad at all knowing this fish died. This series has affected my moods anytime I hear bittersweet classical music; if I ever need to feel melancholy I will come here haha. Thank you for changing a small part of my life, mysterious person with a aquarium hobby.

Always a pleasure when you upload
