Bringing a fish back around is NOT an easy thing to do. This really is a miraculous feat.
สวัสดีครับ

I was just about to say this and wondered if others knew this too. Once fish stop eating, things could easily go downhill from there. Their immune systems weaken and all the diseases they are prone to but could naturally avoid when healthy begin to affect them. We should list out some first aid products all fish enthusiasts need to own.
yeah, the girl knows what she's doing, definitely. This brings us back to a whole discussion about human beings thinking that a 2-5 years lifespan animal is not worth to save, as they breed fast, blablabla
I've had a lot of fishes in my life, and I can say 100% certain that they are underestimated. Specially Bettas, forced to live in a 0.2 gallon cup
She has love and faith. They do a lot.
Caught the neglect just in time
This woman needs to teach courses in fish rescue and rehabilitation. Imagine how many could be saved with her training.
Rehabilitating a fish like a betta isn't that hard, they're surprisingly hardy. A bit of clean water, aquarium salt, and quality food usually gets it done.
@@Nick-lf7uv see you say that but I always mess it up, I feel awful about it. I'd love to take a class and be properly taught because I'd love to save these fish, I just can't seem to get their preferences quite right

“Sometimes things need time and care to be beautiful.”
I love how she describes the fishy personality and that she spends time with him 🥺
So great to see love for all animals
Hello Olivia how are you doing I hope 🤞 you are enjoying your day…
I can't believe she brought him back from his extremely deteriorated state. It's amazing what a little knowledge and love can do :)
Crazy indeed. She is an expert. Really inspiring.
i tried this i got a fish with a huge hole in his side he didnt make it he lived his best life tho i tried my hardest
@@starboy7722 it can be difficult to treat a sick fish. It’s a hit or miss
Woe
It's unheard of when they look that bad.
This young lady has parents that should be extremely proud of her. What a wonderful person.
This made me smile!
A couple of months ago, my daughter rescue one from a pet store…. She argue with the pet manager because he didn’t want her to buy it.
She just wanted to give him a chance . He is doing great!!!
This is such a sweet story. People thought she was a little crazy.
**YOU GOT THAT RIGHT, MY FRIEND!!
What a great person!!!
@@23marmar1 that is one special child you’ve got there!
Yes u r right I also have fish and people think of them as decoration but they r animals that also have a heart, My friend, she doesn't care about her fish one died and she was like oh whatever when my fish died I was heartbroken.
"Sometimes things need time and care to be beautiful"! What a poignant statement! God bless her and all her cute little scaly rescues.
"god bless her" what a poignant statement! there are no gods. only men and myths.
This breaks my heart. As someone who is soon getting bettas, it makes me so sad seeing these betta fish in such bad conditions. Good work, this woman is so kind ❤️
Good luck with your Bettas! ❤
Hello Stacesendra how are you doing I hope 🤞 you are enjoying your day…
they are in these conditions because people like you buy them from petco petsmart, etc.
Nobody buys them. They won't sell them. None of them have to be treated this way. Simple as that. It's literally people like you that make this happen.
Sure, save one fish just so they can sell and treat thousands more the same exact way.
I am a degreed fisheries biologist and can tell you I've never seen anything like this. That is one unusually resilient fish. I am glad he recovered...KUDOS to you.
How could he regrow his parts without eating?
I am a degreed marine biologist and I concur!
And she say that this is one of many…this young woman it’s a fish whisperer!
@@user-ul9is6nn1v probably used up his fat/muscles to grow them back or something like that. Like we humans loose fat ,if we dont eat food for a period of time.
Can you suggest some antibiotics for bettas in this case please!
When she said she’d saved about 80 fish and showing some of the before and after photos I got a little choked up, what a wonderful human.
Me too.
Thank u kind woman ❤
Although she's still paying for the fish she's "rescuing" which is just a sale to the company... Which makes them continue to sell the "product" in such bad conditions.
Too many people are betta heroes these days.
@@skellytron that's why we should steal them instead
@@skellytron I know, right? She should be able to get them for free, since they're dying, why can't they just give her the fish.
My girl had a glow up to. All her fins were completely gone and I brought her back to life. She lived for 5 years after I rescued her. I wish she lived longer. Rest in peace Pippy.
Aww what color of her fins was it?😊
@@leafvillage8696 her body was a very pale salmon peach color with speckles and she had red fins. I saved her glow up picture.
@@TheDemonAscended ooooo whaa 🤩
it's okay you literally made her live the full life span of her life. be proud of it and god bless you for such care
When most of people don’t even pay attention to a sick or dying creature, this kind lady was able to bring the fish back to health with love and care. An angel to little fishes🙏
Wooow, you literally nursed him back to good health and quality of life! He’s now a strong and gorgeous fish! Thank you for taking him in even when he appeared to be in his final days 🙏🐠❤️🐼
Wow. Awesome sauce from l.a california. Super cool.
Beautifully stated. 🙏🏾
Indeed!
He was definitely in his final days. The key is to never give up
@@GotGood77 I have a strong affinity for the beta. Now I know . now I understand a little more.....and that's awesome sauce from l.a california. Thankyousomuch and cheers to you. Your super special. P.s please don't ever become a fan of the cockroach.
This wonderful young lady is a "fish whisperer" and shows that even the smallest of God's creatures respond to love and care.
Amen to that 😊
Hello 👋
Hello Mary how are you doing and the weather there?
How you doing?
🙏 AMEN!!!
This owner is amazing... Bettas are beautiful, loving creatures. They love their owners. Just give them a good environment and care. They deserve so much better than they are dealt... they're gorgeous beings..
Hello katheryn how are you doing I hope 🤞 you are enjoying your day…
sameee it was my first time keeping a betta. he was happy at first but soon he got infected and he stopped eating, and lost his colour. but then I searched for remedies and everything and I finally treated him. I learnt a lot through that process and how to take care of fish correctly. and honestly, it is a very rewarding experience to bring someone back to its healthy state. and betta fish are my favourite because of how interactive they are.
It's just sad to realise how most people don't really consider fish like real pets and don't take the time to learn what's best for them. Thanks for what you did!
Exactly.
Maybe the next step is we don't keep fish in prison, how about that? They obviously aren't pets.
This girl is doing great work all the best to her, but in general you don't like fish if you keep them in a tank. It's obvious fish don't belong in captivity for fun. The same for most birds, it's ridiculous to keep them prison in a cage or house. Just a reality check.
@@Hani_Santa Glad you mentioned that.
@@Hani_Santa exactly, well said, just like snakes and lizards and stuff, just leave them in the wild, nothing deserves to be in a cage or aquarium 😖😔
@@Hani_Santa for goldfish they should be in good capitivity and not go in wild
I’ve never heard of someone rescuing fish. That goes above and beyond something special.
I no, I’ve never seen that before, how wonderful aye 😊 x
It truly is amazing! When I was 12 I started fish keeping and made an Instagram for my betta fish and the community was amazing. People would rescue many bettas and it was truly inspiring seeing how they grew. While the longest one of my betta fish lived was 4 years, my albino cory catfish are still alive and they’re 6 years old! (I’m 18 now btw)
It actually happens often in the fish lovers community ;)
I would have not believed this poor fish could be saved. That takes real skill and love to bring him back to health the way she did.💖
Well done, girl. He will repay you all the rest of his life with gratitude.
This story really means a lot to me.
In where I come from, Betta fishes are usually easily obtained, even as prizes at nightmarket games.
So once they're bad shaped or ill, people tend to throw them into sewer, or leave them suffer in trash cans. Cus why bother all the effort and time? Why not get yourself a new one? They're cheaper then one bottle of Coca-cola. Your local vet probably would say the same thing anyway.
It's cheering to know these beautiful creatures are seen as precious lives elsewhere.
Thank you, you've saved me.
same here in my country, it is so easy to breed betta fish with a right climate, $1 for 3-5 betta fish ..
no one bother to cure a sick betta, except if it is a "contest grade" ..
It's also nice to know that despite how most people around you treat them, you really see them for the living breathing little creatures they are that need love and care just like humans or any other animal.
Hope you will retain your kindness and empathy no matter what happens.
Thank you for having a good heart.
they’re so expensive in New York - depending on the color $6 - $12. i don’t think you’d be so quick to throw them out. and you would take care of them :) 🐡🐠🐟
@@feralbluee in my country although we have native bettas and lots of breeder the price range from 25¢ for reject grade which is bettas with cellophane colour/colorless to 360usd+ for comp/top grade. Have you ever seen a wild imbellis in NY? Here imbellis price range from 1 dollar to 50 dollar for competition grade.
Thank u for sharing,l'm in a nursing home, they'r is an aquarium here, l watch them every day , so they asked if I wanted to feed them l was so excited! We had a relationship one day they stop eating and swimming& died l told them they were sick they didn't care
The transformation is just healing. Her patience and resilience. And we all have something to learn from the young lady.
Such a cute little fish. I'm glad she cared enough to nurse him back to health. Fish and ALL animals are amongst the living and deserve good care and lots of love.
Amazing glow up!! I love bettas. Before raising bettas, I never knew the bond that a person could have with a fish. They are so fiesty, hot headed, and social - they love their humans! They get all wiggly and excited like a boxer doggy does when you talk to them. Thanks for sharing the love
My local shelter even has abandoned fish you can truly rescue with adoption, I'm so happy more and more people are treating fish as real living beings and not just decor
i love this idea
That's a great idea!
That’s amazing!

@Repent to Jesus Christ Repent to Jesus Christ I am religious but this is not the time bro
“Sometimes things need time and care to beautiful.” OK IM CRYING. I NEED TO BE FRIENDS WITH THIS GIRL
OMG SHE IS FROM HEAVEN
That’s how I felt when she was saying that!! 💓💓
same
Totally got me too
Please can someone help me
My beta fish is losing its colour.
He used to be soo active when he sees me but a little introverted.
I dont know whats happening with him. I dont want to lose him. Please help
Never felt this much connection towards my other fishes.
My other fishes are healthy and happy. I dont know whether they are happy or not. But im pretty sure that they are healthy.
My beta fish lives in a pretty medium or a small fish bowl. I have a tank for other fishes. I dont know whether its because of the bowl or not.
He was eating his properly. I dont what happened.
And can someone please tell me how many pellets should i feed him per day? I change his water every 2 to 3 weeks .
Pleasee replyy
“Most people don’t see fish as companions”, I love my Betta ❤️
What a gorgeous fish! It was such a surprise to see him after he was well. His fins were amazing. The color combination was stunning. All of the fishies you rescued were just gorgeous! Thank you for caring for these creatures so wonderfully!
I've never seen someone care to bring a fish that far gone, back! Kinda spurs on some hope for this world. Thanks, kiddo.
Right?! Now I feel bad for all the fish I’ve flushed …
"Sometimes things need time and care to be beautiful..." This young lady understands life completely. So many people could be healed on so many levels if they take this advice.
❤️
She is a very evolved human that we should all look up to and emulate.💞
YOU, Holland, are BEAUTIFUL!! Bettas are incredibly smart, very special fish. To have rescued and rehabilitated 80 of them is amazing. Keep it up, young one! We need more people like you in this world!
I have 22 fish, all unique, all of which I consider PETS, companions, FAMILY.
People have no clue how intelligent fish are, how emotional they are, how much personality they can have, and how rewarding they can be.
Watching a 12" fish throw a tantrum can be so hilarious, or seeing a fish teasing his tank mates for fun.
Fish are far from derpy, pretty, things you put in a glass box. They're individuals, and I love them.
we need more people like this who actually care about fish. i’m tired of seeing people neglect their fish just because they’re not as cuddly as a cat or dog. if this woman hadn’t stepped in, he would probably be dead in a few days, if even that
I want to be like him
Exactly. I hate how people put them in tiny fish bowls and neglect them. My friend has a betta in her dorm in the tiniest little bowl and she doesn't use any water conditioner, clean the tank, no heater or filters and she forgets to feed him. It makes me so mad
I was the same way, thought fish were idiots, no personality. Then I started working at a place that sold Oscars. One little guy I named Butthead (affectionately) changed my whole world. He was excited to see ME, liked ME. I was like, what? I just got put in charge of feeding the “aggressive” fish and someone told me, oh they recognize you. They really do. After a few weeks, I risked putting a few fingers in the tank, and only Butthead came to me and nibbled my fingers. He started swimming through my hands, too. Such a sweetheart. I’ll never call fish idiots again, I can tell you that much ❤️
@@RibbinOpinion There is a video called My Fish Loves Me! He would rather play than eat! here on youtube that I love showing people who think fish are dumb and lack personality. I too used to think fish were boring but then I started researching aquariums, fell down the rabbit hole, and now I have my own betta fish!
The tanks are a tad small for my liking but she obviously knows what she is doing and actually cares about them, so it's not much of an issue more just personal preference
"Sometimes things need time & care to be beautiful."
A wise observation that many people never seem to realize. Or they'll admit the time portion while ignoring the care needed. It's nice to see her putting her skills to good use helping someone or something. A very wholesome video!
Yes very wise indeed. She's and old soul.🙏❤️
Hello 👋
Hello friend.....yeah it's a very nice video could we be friends if you don't mind....
@@RobertSmith-zi3wr creepy😂
What this woman did was very noble. Thank you for helping that poor fish
This person is a brilliant care taker. Thanks for saving lives
I lost my Betta of 6 years earlier this year and this brought so much joy to my heart. He was such an attentive and fun member of our family and I miss seeing and interacting with him every day. Bless your heart for saving this wonderful baby.
6 year old betta is awesome! Most only make it to about 2 years old or less. Sorry for the loss of your little friend. Just know that you did an amazing job. 💕
🌱🐟🌱🐟🌱🐟🌱🐟🌱
6 years?!?! You give me hope I'll have little Karloff for so many years to come. They really are so personable, I love hanging out with him, he gets SO excited.
Sorry about your loss... yes, she's a wonderful person 😃❤🧡💛
This poor fish was in a really bad shape. And with love and patience he is now a gorgeous animal.
Every animal from the smallest to the biggest deserves to be loved.
Thanks!
As someone who just started to get into aquarium keeping and LOVES bettas, this is super inspirational and something I’d really want to do in the future when I get much more experience (and money lol). It’s amazing watching bettas transform once they are in happy, healthy environments.
Everything needs time and care to be beautiful, thank you for taking the time
I wish more people in the world will be like this young woman.
Less cruelty and indifference to animals and nature in general can still save this world!
There are people like her and that’s me but worse than ever .
Instead of saying "I wish there was more people like her" why don't YOU be that person
Absolutely. Most of people still doesn't see in how bad shape this poor planet is. And it's not like we can just jump to another one in our space shuttle 🙁🙁🙁
I am utterly floored that he was able to be revived. Bringing fish back from that state is very, very difficult!😲🤯
Yes.its really indeed😖
Just shows how abused he was by the pet store!
สวัสดีครับ
Please press follow. Beautiful betta fish. 🇹🇭🙏🐳
I myself got 2 different bettas in about the same condition as the one in this video one didn't make it the other is beautiful and healthy now and very loved
I am recovering a fish myself but from a local store not a major chain. He had nitrate poisoning. Its taken almost a week for him to just have enough energy to want to eat/swim longer periods. I knew exactly what I was getting into when I got him, and I have zero regrets still. He is still recovering but hopefully he will be 100% soon.
How's he doing
@@professionalfucktard6395 amazing! I would say full recovery 🥺 it was very scary there for a week but he pulled through and is very active!
Well done to you for putting in the effort ♥️
I had a Betta that needed human interaction every day. He would stop eating without it. You HAD to stay and talk to him. So sweet.
Dodo showcasing fish recovery is amazing. All creatures are precious.
I absolutely hate the way Betta fish are sold in tiny cups in pet stores they are some of the most abused so sad.
I had a friend who had one hanging in a container on her wall. The beta could not even move at all. It was so disgusting and disturbing. Eventually we were no longer friends, but that beta was still on her wall after two years not moving at all. (When our friendship ended). Sickening. (Added): it could wiggle a little, but NO room to turn around.
@@eightpm8216 OMG! That's so sad! God bless that poor little fish.
That’s the absolute worst thing at the pet store…the bettas. I feel so incredibly sad when I see them in those tiny cups, basically dying.😭
@@eightpm8216 omg I wish I wouldn’t have read your comment. Your friend is vermin disguised as a human
many of that sells in Thailand
What a fabulous transformation!
BLESS YOU! I cried watching the love and healing you displayed and saved that beautiful betta! I have one a very is molar color I wish I could save them all !
Petsmart in our neighborhood REALLY needs someone with your skills. Dozens of betas in terrible shape in tiny cups all look like they are dying. You are a miracle worker for fish!
It's not just petsmart... pretty much any place that sells betta fish don't take care of them
Pet stores don't care at all.
First they're capturing and hunting betta fishes from vietnam and other southeast asian countries and are selling up in those tiny death cups
You could make a TikTok to expose that awfulness
Report them? They have a legal obligation to look after the animals to a basic standard
I really wish places like Walmart or even Petco have more regulations on how they treat live animals on site. I personally don't like keeping fish because I think they belong in the open waters. However, I'm glad there are people like this lady who cares enough to rescue them from these stores.
Domestic bettas belong in the wild as much as domesticated dogs do.... Bettas have been domesticated for over 150 years, which is an incredibly long time for a species that can produce up to about 3 generations in one year (at least 450 generations of extensive domestication). Domestic bettas, also unlike most fish, genuinely seek out human attention and are exceptionally trainable. They are also capable of recognizing and bonding to specific people. They absolutely require humans to thrive at this point, which only makes the horrific levels of abuse worse... Domestic bettas ligitimately want to please and play with thier owners, yet people treat them like worthless, retarded peices trash. It angers me... Truly give a betta a true chance to show thier intelligence, and they will give you 10x back. They're truly special creatures.
@@kidwolf0015 my girls (bettas) make me so happy. I have figured out training yet. (That's on me, not them) but they always come front when I'm near and like to bite the dropper I use to feed them thawed food.
I agree except with the open waters part. You could argue the same thing with dogs and cats lol. Many fish have been bred in captivity and can not be released, they wouldn’t know what to do. Same thing with the pets we have today. They’re domesticated.
Agreeing with the other people. Most domestic bettas have been bred for long heavy fins and bright colors, they wouldnt be able to survive in the wild due to these making them slow and easily spotted prey.
We just saw the saddest little baby betta and had to rescue him. They were feeding him full size pellets and he’s so tiny he can barely eat them when they’re crushed up to a quarter of the size. He’s so happy and he’s swimming around eating right now.
Ah.. this brought tears to my eyes. What a nice person helping a tiny fish🥲🥹
I had a Beta named Wayne, who understood the cleaning routine of his tank-and seems to have trusted me as well-that he allowed me to lift him out of his tank by hand(!) and return him to the tank as well. He remained calm and still in my cupped hand each time. Remarkable.
My fish I can almost touch in the tank when cleaning and or he gets in the way
That brought a smile to my heart...I also would carefully scoop my Betta in my hands and into clean, conditioned water...Amazing fish❤
I would dangle my pinky into the aquarium and he would brush alongside my finger...Total trust...
He was so dear to me💙
The guppies I've cared for since their birth always swim towards my hands whenever I'm doing maintenance
It's cute! But it makes me scared because I have accidentally siphoned some out. They make me check the siphoned water bucket thoroughly.
Kool, how long do Beta fish live for on average?
"Compassion and empathy for the smallest of animals is one of the noblest virtues a man can receive as a gift."
What she did and what you said brought me to tears, both of you stay blessed.🙏
She is a miracle worker. Just wow.
Wow, that's such an amazing turnaround! She really showed such love and dedication, it's so heartwarming to see.
Hello Amanda how are you doing I hope 🤞 you are enjoying your day…
Wow he’s beautiful. He was near death and you nursed him back to health. This is what God intended, that we care for nature and not destroy it. Every creature understands love and gives it when it’s given to them.
@ RodraBurrus Absolutely 💯 God intended mankind to be stewards of Earth, not to be it's biggest parasite & care nothing for any species including humans! I love your heart & comment ❤
I'm with you guys ❣
Absolutely true! Blessings 💜💜💜
Charlie is my dude. I come home after a stressful day and he swims to the front of the tank like "Hey! What up man? Got any of them bloodworms?" It's the highlight of my day.
I did freshwater fish tanks for years. Some fish don't want anything but live food. The problem is that the live food you get at the pet store is very often contaminated. So you end up making the water you work so hard to take care of a deadly trap.
It's of course much more difficult but you really should breed your own live food.
I'll tell you, when you raise a Black Arrawana from a hatchling to 24 inches long and lose it from bad go fish it really sucks.
damn making me remember my 7 yr old goldfish with the same name, he’s dead now 😔
@@hyphenss6526 There was a Charles before Charlie. Charles was "Charles I - The Vibrant". Charlie is "Charles II - The Energetic". I'm sorry that happened with your goldfish. It happens.

Loving kindness and compassion towards any life is extremely transformational. 👏🥰 what a beautiful girl…. I was shocked to see the colour change and the fact she’s loved so many back to life - it’s just so Christ-like - pure 💗 love lavished without restraint!❤
Hello Sharon how are you doing I hope 🤞 you are enjoying your day…
I love the care and patience that she put into getting her/him back to life and healthy
him. When you see the fish with really bright colors and really big tails like this they are called Bettas and they are male. The females have much smaller fins. They are the fish you see looking all sad inside of the tiny cups in the stores. I REALLY wish they wouldn't sell them like that bc all of those betas are COLD COLD inside those cups. They are miserable. That is why they all look so sad.....bc they ARE sad and hurt and cold and alone. I wish I could save them all.
"Sometimes things need more time and care to be beautiful . . ." Yes, Holland. Thank you for showing all of us your wisdom and humanity.....
She made a complete difference In their life
I was a fan of fish before, and this is heartwarming.
you saved a animal that was very far gone. you’re a great person 💕
I had a blue-purple betta when I was little that loved "biting" and pulling my finger every once in a while (we kept him well fed, mind you). He legit lived 6 years or so and looked beautiful until he passed away. Pretty sociable too, liked to live in an aquarium with several types of fish and never attacked any of them. Goes to show how much each of them has a unique personality.
people so often forget how often betta fish can live. I hope mine lives as long
@@hiddenmongoose7314 They normally live 3-4 years. Unfortunately, genetics plays a huge part in how long they live, and bettas tend to have really, really bad genetics. It seems that their betta had pretty decent genetics, which is nice too see
@@lemonlizard1 do different breeds have different Gene's? Heard plekats/short-fins live longer, but that might just be bc swimming
@@hiddenmongoose7314 yes, you got it just right, they do. Generally speaking, the koi/dragon breeds have a shorter lifespan because they're prone tumors. Plakats/short finned bettas tend to live a healthier and longer life because it's easier for them to swim when they're older and weaker.
@@lemonlizard1 it's a shame that weve bred them to be this way :/ also that the shorter finned betta are so hard to find in many pet stores
Wow, this young woman is a miracle worker. I'd never seen a Beta in that previous condition (so close to death) and that amazing transformation. Thank you for your hard work.
Hello 👋
What a truly Beautiful Person! Blessings to you!
All that’s needed is a little love. My betta was in a similar condition, she was very inactive and struggling but now she looks like a model betta fish.
I’ve also recently adopted a sickly betta fish. His gills are damaged from ammonia poisoning, I don’t think they ever changed out the water in the cup he was in. It made me very disturbed to see him on the bottom gasping for air at the bottom of the cup. He got very skinny from not eating. He looked ready to give up on life. He’s now in his own 5 gallon aquarium. I test his water daily and I’m treating him with aquarium salt. He’s finally started moving around, and I’ve been feeding him live brine shrimp and insect larvae flakes. His gills are still damaged but he’s overall looking better. He’s now swimming around and interacting with things in the tank. I may do some research to see if he needs some antibiotics. There is just one side of his gills that sticks out very far, and I can’t tell if it’s a genetic mutation or if he needs antibiotics. He’s not acting sickly anymore but I just want to be sure he won’t have any future complications. His tank is on my office desk, I work from home so I can always look over and check on him.
My husband named him Phoenix, he said I helped this betta rise from ashes like a phoenix 😆. He’s also a bit shy and will hide under a tiny wooden branch I bought gave when he gets nervous. I think that is standard behavior with rescues. But he likes to peep out 👀 to check on me while I work.
There are fish vets who accept bettas. U should take him to one. And u can get an ick vaccine too
So glad you brought Phoenix home. Great name. I adore fish. Bettas are a favorite. I have also rescued quite a few of them. They have so much personality. I make sure they have a buddy to see through the glass/plastic for a time during the day, as they are quite social. Boy Bettas can't be together in the same tank but can visit each other through the glass for awhile each day, depending on how well they 'visit' through the glass. They like plants and snails too. Also, fish need sleep time like we do so it is lights out for them too.
I love seeing stories like this. Bettas are such beautiful amazing souls. So glad you shared your story! USA
สวัสดีครับ

I got a plan last year:
1. Pretend that I will keep my betta in a bowl
2. Move him up to 1.77 gal filtered tank
3. Move him to a 5 gallon tank.
4. He lives a happy life.
I'm so happy to see other people rescuing betta fish. I have had to deal with 2 sick betta's so far. A disease like what you're describing seems extremely common. I see it's been 2 months, I would love an update on pheonix
To see a fish that close to death, come back like he did, is truly a fishy miracle. Good for this gal! She's full of compassion, God Bless her! I've always felt so sorry for Beta fish. I owned a aquarium shop, but never carried Betas! Most people shove them in the bowl, and ignore them. Sad!
I love these fish people. Totally respect their huge expertise and dedication to fish 🥰
He knew you cared. Even fish need love 💜
It's really nice to see stories about people taking the time to rescue and care for smaller, less glorified pets. It was amazing to watch Bongo's transformation.
Betta fish are intelligent and full of personality so sad that they along with goldfish are so widely mistreated.
This is a beautiful story with a happy ending 😭. Love how passionate you’re with healing this beautiful fishes ❤️.
I have a betta and he always comes out and swims fast back-and-forth when I go by his tank it’s the coolest thing
I’m glad the fish is better now 🙏🏻
I wish more people knew how much personalities bettas really have! They’re so fun! If you give them a good home, they will give you a great companion 💜
I had a beautiful red betta who lived in a 5 gallon tank on the counter in my kitchen. He loved to be behind his filter. I think it was warmer back there. As soon as I walk into the room he would instantly come watch me. He would watch me wash dishes and make dinner. He would be at the glass just watching intently. He had lots of personality as well
Does the gender of the fish matter? I hear some people make them fight, so I wonder if the male or female is more aggressive or "standoffish" in general because they are more territorial. Or it doesnt really matter as long as they have their own tank? My aunt has been talking about hers lol then this vid was reccommebded to me! I hope to find one that's full of personality lol.
@@HoneeyBee3 males fight, females don’t (usually). And obviously you don’t want a male and female together lol
@@jonathanacosta36 Oh okay, thank you. I was just about to do a little reasearch so you helped me out a bit. & I wouldn't mind some beta fish babies 🤣! Thank you again lol
I used to think it was cruel to keep bettas because of the conditions of so many in pet stores.
But I adopted one recently and Bruce is my new best friend! He's so unbelievably intelligent. I love how he's more responsive to seeing me during the day than my cats!
Omg I love this! Aw you go Bongo! And you go girl! Thank you for giving him a chance to live. I currently own 4 male bettas and I love them all. 4 very diff personalities. They’re the best. You rock girl! May Bongo give you many more smiles and joyous moments!
she's a good person
What a transformation! All creatures deserve a chance. 💖
Hi 👋
Hello 👋
She is the exact type of person this world needs more of, bless her for continuing this selfless act for these beautiful, forgotten fishes, she's amazing✨❤️
girl with a heart of gold... nice...
My betta, Lazlo, is so sweet and friendly. He rushes to greet me when he sees me. Bloodworms are his fave. Watching him nap on his plant-hammock melts my heart. I adore that little guy 🐠
I love my betas.....they are personable and entertaining. I've had several and the one I have now is going on three years.... he's awesome 🐟😊💖
I had mine for 2 years before he passed (RIP Stanley). I’m really glad I don’t see them for sale at Walmart anymore, seeing how they were kept was sad most looked like the fish in this video.
Thats wonderful that he's 3 years. Most don't live a week due to cruel, ignorant people.
Why keep an animal that God meant to be free caged up?
@@kabumanuw163 Because sadly (from what i know) these types of Betta fish is no longer natural. You can never find halfmoon betta with long & colorful fins in Southeast asian river. They were breed to be pets :( So i dont know if any of them could survive in the wilds either.
@@kabumanuw163 They are domesticated, at this point they absolutely cannot be released. Same with dogs and cats.
I honestly would've never thought that the fish would survive, if I personally saw it. That young lady is amazingly patient.
Soo sweet of her,the way she nourish is awesome...
Oooh it made me smile when he started swimming around.
Hello Dear how are you doing I hope 🤞 you are enjoying your day…
the fish is sweet, the owner is an angel, many blessings to u
I really didn’t know that you can heal a fish. He looked more dead than anything. Well done!
Very oftenly lives of such small living beings go unnoticed but doesn't mean they can't understand love and they don't deserve love. Salute to this woman for being so loving and caring.
What a lovely story. Thank you for looking after this little fish and sharing. I wish there were far more people like you in the world.
Wow! That's all I can say is WOW! About you, the extraordinary rescuer 🥰 About him, such a beautiful little fish 🥰 Just WOW! What a wonderful thing to watch, the two of you made my day!
Hello 👋
This girl's got one sweet soul ❤️
The dish you have rescued look absolutely gorgeous.
Sometimes things need time and care to be beautiful... I love that
All living creature has personality and a heart.
"He's definitely an introvert" their girl-fish bond is special 🥺❤️
I am proud of you and thankful for what you do. Alot of people say "humanity is evil and should be destroyed" and "we need to save the planet not sit on our butts complaining". Well this girl is proof not everyone is evil and she is saving what she can one fish at a time.
Fish make great companions
She worked a small miracle for this fish!
