Female Betta Fish Care (Together Behavior). This is the best food for Bettas I’ve found. It’s fairly new! (Newer than this video).

I have had a lot of luck taking care of female betta fish. What is different about the female is the fact that a person can keep a lot of them together versus a male betta. That was enough for me to be wanting some of these really cool fish. What is interesting to me is the fact that they are carnivores and many don't know that.
People at the pet stores just give you these "pellets" and it's a lot like prison food to them. I feed them dried shrimp and they love the meat on them. Also, bloodworms are a great treat too. My community tank of female bettas is thriving and healthy. Listen here on my guide to taking care of bettas of the female sex. Comment all problems and issues below. I do answer all questions submitted on my blog too.
Got my test kit today, but it didn't come with a chart. Also which ph test would I do.. I found it some ended up in the box, so I have a 7.6 pH, ammonia is in between 1.0-2.0 ppm, nitrite is 0ppm and nitrate is also 0ppm. What are good level for bettas to live in. This happen to me still do water changes up your aeration and surface agitation your ammonia will remain high let it remain high once you see some nitrates and your money is high your pH will start to drop low keep up with the air and let it cycle.
How do you keep your plants alive? I have an anubis and an El Nino fern. Mu anubis has had 2 leaves become transparent and and now there's another one not looking so good. My other plant seems to be ok for now, but it was well established before I purchased it. Water parameters are 0,0,0-5ppm. Temp is 72-74. Only 1 betta, 1 zebra snail. Water changes once a week. Currently they are planted in little planters. They are anchored to plastic gemstones planted in sand. I don't have a very bright light, I hear lighting is important. Debating getting something to put in the water to help. Any suggestions?
The first thing I do when bringing home a new plant is to remove all the planting materials from the root ball. A lot of times I've noticed that they're root bound. If you want to need to plant in the substrate, only put the bottom most roots. You don't want to bury the top portion. What I did was anchor a few roots with a piece of petrified wood. The plant itself was hovering a good inch above the substrate. One thing to remember as well, there will be some plant melting when you first bring it home.
Has anyone gotten a baby betta? From petco or petsmart? Not personally, but tons of people on this page have. They need super extra clean water, and live food would be best. The 2 that I kept one was blue with red tips and the other was all blue. Now the one with red tips has a lot more red, the blue turned more black and looks like he has gold stripes. I've had a few, they are a bit more work, but definitely fun! I know when they first started selling baby bettas, they were culls that the breeder didn't want and we're sold for a cheaper price. I'm not sure if that's different now.
Yes, my first betta (the one I have now) is a baby and I've had him for only about a month. I say him but everyone else says he's a she. smile emoticon I did my research before I got the baby betta though and he's doing just great in his home. He's very aggressive and killed the ghost shrimp I put in with him and then I tried a bottom dwelling catfish type but he almost killed that one so now it's in with my iguana habitat and thriving, finally settled on a baby pleco and they are doing fine together.
I have 5 babies. All were bought male yet only 2 were truly boys. One died for an unknown reason. I ended up with a plakat, HM X CT hybrid, and two veil tails.
I have come to the conclusion that King Crimson may have to be put to sleep. He's not getting better, but not worse ether. I can't watch him suffer much longer. But I dunno what to do for him now.
If it comes to it...What's the most humane way to put a fish to rest if you don't have clove oil? Go to pharmacy and pick up clove oil. The other methods (blunt force trauma, asphyxiation via baking soda, and freezing, etc) all are highly circumspect in my medical opinion. I always euthanize with ms222 but eugenol is OTC (and helpful for euthanizing invertebrates too).
