Oski, the wonder betta fish!
Filed under: Uncategorized

Introducing my pet betta fish–although some of you may have seen him before.
Per other Youtuber’s suggestions, I put Oski in a larger bowl where he really enjoys himself.
When he is REALLY happy, he sits close to the surface of the water and blows bubbles!
Does anyone know which COUNTRY are betta fish from? If you know, pls. text answer below–Thanks!

    btw guys

    Betta splendens
    Siamese Fighting Fish

    Habitat: Thailand, Cambodia, possibly Laos
    first introduction : 1892to France; 1896, Paul Matte, Berlin

    Maintenance : keeping male indidually in small glass containers holding less then one quart of water must be regarded as creuel. with smaller containers the surface mus be kept free of dirt and the water must be change regulary. bettas need plenty of heat and a single male can be kept in a communi tank

    temperature 75-86f (24-30c)

    i really suggest getting a bigger thank, or at least a real plant. real plant are even cheaper then fake plants sometimes. also, you could get oski a girlfriend^^ (only in a bigger tank tough) and maybe some heating and if possible shrimp eggs. they love thoses.

    Your betta is …
    Your betta is having a depression fall.Get him excercise.Mirror will be fine.When you change water make sure that new water is the same temp.Other wise they just sit there sulking.Betta are native of south-east asia.Betta thrive on heat.If the water fall below 75 degrees F. and it will become increasingly listless.You can soften the water with some aquarium salt.Read directions on bottle before adding.Feed him pellet food specifically made for betta.He can be feed 2-3 small pellets a day.

    If it hasn’t …
    If it hasn’t already been mentioned, betta fish are mostly from Thailand, they often live in stagnant pools (which is why they’re so hardy and therefore excellent starter fish.) However, the betta you have is from a breeder not too far away, wild bettas are very expensive since their genetics are highly sought after to add to the gene pool of betta lines which is become pretty shallow and weaker. Hope that answered your question.

    I’m so glad you got him a bigger home; he’ll live much longer and be much happier!!
    I do have to suggest just getting a plant for him – they have ones with weights on the bottom so they’ll stay standing up and are easy to remove and clean. It’ll also give him something to hide behind and rest in.

    He’s a little cutie!

    Gotcha! Maybe if I get another fish, I will do that! This betta “survived” much longer than my other fish…and he had a GREAT personality, too!

    hey if you want to …
    hey if you want to keep your fish alive longer and have him grow bigger, put him in a bigger tank with some plants or something. i used to have a betta in a tiny bowl like that then i moved him to a 2.5 gal tank, and you can notice a huge difference in his behavior. also try keeping his tank between 72-80 degrees.

    it sucks for the fish living in a small bowl like that with no decor. it would be like me locking you in a bare room for the rest of your life.
