How do people think fish get to their local fish stores? They are shipped. It's just part of the hobby.
It has to be done. Properly is the most important part.
If you buy direct from a breeder and it's shipped, you're less likely to get DOA's than what stores get from their massive shipments from the drop shipper / wholesaler. I really wish people paid more attention to what happens before they buy stuff - not just animals, but food, and everything else too.
I get a lot of rage in the comment section when I ship fish, ugh
Im sure you execute the process Stellar. Reptiles and all Animals endure the same procedures, however its up to the shipper to properly do so.
Carrier Services can make a difference as well. Depends on the handler and if inclimate conditions take place too. Hold us time with shipping (heat packs/ cold packs).
SimplyBetta seems like the sweetest person ever but I also get the vibe she’s always a thin thread away from absolutely snapping
Hah!! Screenshotted and sent this to my hubby
well, this is my first time watching her video.. and i couldn't agree more with you...
This made me laugh so hard 🤣
Come on guys. She needs encouragement. This is my first time viewing her videos so I don’t have any viewing history. Based on that I would say I think she should have waited until after the holidays to get the bettas. We all live and learn. Taylor, I’m sorry you lost so many fish. They really were beautiful. Give yourself a breather and enjoy that baby of yours. He will be a teenager before you know it.
Aren’t we all a thin thread away? 🤣
Can’t blame her for liking platinum bettas there like angels in tank
Absolutely!
@@SimplyBetta .hello were do. You get. Your bettas and. How much are them.I will appreciate if you tell me how you. Buy your bettas
Simply Betta who’s the seller
the black dragon samurai is crazy cool . I'm gonna have to look for one.
I love that guy, can't wait to make lotsa babies
I’m so sorry to hear about the fish plague you had to deal with! I totally get the same way when my aquariums aren’t doing well. Chin up and hope things turn around for you soon.
Thank you @A Gamer's Wife! It's hard to not take things like sick fish personally, sometimes! :(
@@SimplyBetta
So true!!!
I've had a virus run through my fish room. It's disheartening to watch as your fish die and nothing you do helps. You will recover. I'm slowly recovering. I completely understand the feeling of failure. Hang in there. Happy New Year.
Hey we keep the same fish...just subscribe to you....going to watch your videos now...I had a big problem with my guppies a few months ago...😷🤧
I had ick run through my fish room i was lucky enough that my black moor jeffy acted differently and i caught on to it and nipped the disease in the butt
I feel you. I lost several of my fish over the last couple months too. One morning I woke to two beyond the point of no return and just had to grieve them in the dark over the weekend. All to coincide with a bunch of other losses in other areas of my life. Change is usually for the better but it doesn’t help with today. Looking forward to everything evening out.
Thank you. It is a terrible feeling for sure :(
Ginger Graves the same thing happened to me with my 4 beautiful goldfish I did everything I could but I sadly lost them all within 24 hours
Her voice is so calming that baby will have a good mama
“Live imported betta fish” well... gee I hope they’re being shipped live!
Oh.. that's true :P
This reminded me of the whole "Road Work Ahead" "Well, I sure hope it does!" vid
Why not thais ship millions for years
I’m so sorry for all of the sickness. I can’t even imagine how frustrating that must have been for you! But I’m so thankful that you share though. We all learn WITH you. And as you figure it out, it’s so nice to come along with you on the journey! Love you! Love this channel! ❤️
Thanks so much :)
Who’s the seller
The gold dumbo pair, the samurai, that first female half moon omg. “You guys might think I’m crazy...and I might be a little bit crazy” got me laughing. Stay strong mama! The holidays are over, you made it! Sending you love and well wishes for getting through the fishy woes 💜
At least I admit it! Ha ha thank you, I appreciate it. And thanks for the khajiit card! May your road lead you to warm Sands
I’m honestly super curious where she buys her bettas from, I want to make a betta sorority, but I have no clue who is a reputable/trusted seller.
Bettass or queenbettas on eBay I recommend. Looks like it may be the same seller she got hers from. The fish will have importing and extra shipping costs and will go through a middle man in the US. This is standard for importing fish. I pay around $80 for 2 including import cost.
Space City Fish has a very nice selection of very nice bettas
Are you Canada or USA? Space city is great (USA Texas) and what you see is what you get. Also, Rena's fish store does both and Puerto Rico. However, because of the riots, no longer shipping to United States, for now. And if Canada, Bettas Bettas has been good to me.
Also, I prefer those sites because they ship directly to my door. Typically I avoid eBay because if you don't have an import license for livestock, they have to ship to your accepted transporter or whatever, and then you pay to get it. So it's expensive and stressful on the fish.
Buy from indonesia, or thailand
Its betta kingdom here
I’ve been bingeing your videos for days and I’m really excited to see a new video from you! I so enjoy your content and you helped me reignite my love for bettas. The boyfriend and I are seriously considering getting some one day and I hope I get to order from you. That would be amazing.
Thanks so much! I hope I have some fish available soon with all this bad luck I've been having!
Those are some of the most amazing and gorgeous Bettas I’ve ever seen!
I'm glad you like them!
You are so cool, and so real! I love all of the fish you've shown us, I've been an aquarist for quite some time- but people like you have recently got me really interested in Betta keeping!! You definitely earned a subscriber here!
One of the top breeders here uses a solution of copper sulphate that he uses when he gets new fish in or when one starts to look poorly. It works amazingly, and he gave me some after I had issues with velvet going thru my betta, and I lost a lot with that.
I just started having my first betta~~ and my friend is an amazing breeder in Malaysia! It’s really cool to learn about these different breeds
Your videos are warming my heart during this quarantine, your content is amazing. 💕
Aww thank you
I love all your videos and how honest and natural you are about taking care of and breeding bettas. 🤩
Love seeing your content. Glad you’re getting your energy back.
I went to my local fish store today just see more beautiful fish. So many fish I’d love to have some day. He has so many cute chubby panda corys and tons of tons of baby fish everywhere. And a super friendly cat.
It's a good thing I don't have a big LFS - I would come home with SO MUCH
Welcome back...we missed you💖
Thank you Maria :)
Awww Prayers and love...can't wait to see future vids🥰💋💋
Thank you notnolajane :)
I’m so glad you’re getting back into your passion! ❤️
Thank you, me too :)
I've recently fallen in love with bettas and planted tanks. So so so glad I've just found the channel!! Kindred spirit!
You'll be fine Kiddo!! Hang in there!!
Love the fish! Looking forward to see what you end up doing with them!! 😁🍪
Glad to see you back! Don’t be so hard on yourself over the losses. This hobby can be so frustrating. Keep in mind that sharing your stories (and failures) can educate others. Good luck this winter!
Thanks so much! That's true, that's why I share failures. I think a lot of people don't do that and now I know why - It's so disheartening!
Oh my goodness I have never seen colors like this before! They look so beautiful!!! The koi is stunning and the half moon and the samurai dragon
Thank you! :D
All of the new bettas you got are so gorgeous! And they all almost have a pair!
Yeah! Thank you :) I did lose a few to the sickness which was sad, but I still have many of them :)
Simply Betta Update us on the ones still alive and your betta room!
Love the update! Baby is so cute :)
Thank you!
As someone who is working on their first betta tank, you are absolutely magical! Thanks for sharing your fish!
You're BACK!! I hope you and your family had a great holiday season! We've missed you.
Thank you!
I really like the Dragon Samauri. I hope I can find a pair like that around here, I just got 3 new aquascaping tanks for winter!
(Your light ring reflecting off your eyes freaks me out! 😂)
I also would like to buy a Dragon Samauri from you. Already have a lovely little half moon betta, so should you be able to sell one like the one you unboxed I would be interested.
What's the going price on those lines, my lfs has some for 39.99 Canadian
The light ring in her eyes... I kinda think it is cute!
i love them! hopefully you breed them successfully ❤️
I think i saw one of your comment in HENDRIX BACKYARD? 😅
@@jekjeklaron7008 yes! i also watch him ;)
You are an enjoyable person to listen to :) . Thanks for sharing and being transparent in your experiences with betta husbandry! I will be sure to watch your stuff as I find it informative and fun. Cheers from Canada!
Well thank you, I appreciate it! I have plenty more vids coming up about dumb mistakes and fixing things I've ruined, lol. Curse being fallible.
All absolutely beautiful fish. The holidays are like a second job in itself. Sorry you had all the losses. Hopefully the new year will bring you better times. The little guy is super adorable. Happy New Year.
Thanks so much for the nice comment :)
When I first started getting bettas and my green fish turned bright blue , I was confused, only to find out their color changes
it's called the mutation process Some breeders here have betta fish with unique genetics, the fish can mutate even at a relatively old age .
but the good one is the fish that have a strong color and not mutate at the age of 5 months up
Can’t wait to buy some from you in the future still! 🤗☺️
I’m sorry about the illness in the fish room , hope all is well and best of luck, can’t wait to see more content
These fish are so beautiful, this really inspires me! Awesome!
New fish!! 👍🏻👍🏻
The question is where does she order the fish and what website?
10,000 Subscribers without any videos eBay is where you can get them
I've bought Betta from Aquabid before and had really good experiences :)
10,000 Subscribers without any videos try search in indonesia or singapore there’s many cool betta , sorry for my english i’m not so good 😜
There is a seller in Singapore (currently closed due to the virus) that sells some of the same fish here. This is their website. They also have an Instagram and Facebook page if you want to know more about them before buying.

Momo Bettas USA
Loved all of them, but that black dragon samauri is absolutely stunning!
Thank you! I'm going to put him to spawn soon, probably tomorrow! My ctenopoma video is gonna come out soonish I think, I've been procrastinating for too long
Love your new fish Taylor!! They have beautiful colors!!
Thank you!
Thanks, sure have missed you. How is the lizard?
They're great!
Where did you buy your fish ?
Had to wipe the drool off my phone before I could comment. Such gorgeous gorgeous fish you received. I'm always amazed by all that you accomplish with kids, hubby, dog, and a sizeable fish room along with your live cultures and an outside job...girl, please, makes me tired just thinking about it.
It always sucks when something ugly pops up and wipes out some of our fish...totally understand being bummed about it. Hang in there, you will get your groove back.
Looking forward to seeing updates on your various projects. You are more of an inspiration than you will ever know.
👍💕👍
Girl I just found this channel and I am already in love with the content
I follow a betta breeder on Instagram named franksbetta and he always has the most beautiful betta, so I plan on buying from him as soon as his next batch rolls around!
What company did you get the fishes from, I wanna get a new betta
Aquabid
YAAY!! Simply Betta content!! 😍 Those new fish are gorgeous!! So is that baby of yours!! 🥰 Sorry about the fish sickness. That can be so frustrating!! 😬 Here's to a new year and new experiences. 👍🎉👍
Thanks so much, cheers!
Yes the holidays are a crazy time without the added stress of fish sickness glad you made it thru and are looking forward. Hug that sweet baby they grow so fast mine are men now :)
Thanks so much! I'm enjoying every moment and drool stain and diaper. Truly!
Does your baby like the fish? When my daughter was around 4 months she started to love watching fishies swim
he's too busy chewing on his own toes to notice the fish haha
Does anyone know where she got these fish?
Good question I wouldn't want order from them..
Wow, those Dragons! Your Little Guy is getting bigger!! Happy Holidays!!
Thank you! Late reply but I hope your Holidays were nice too :)
You're so great!! ❤️ I'm so glad I found your channel!
I appreciate it!
Does anyone breed koi dumbos? They would be gorgeous.
I have not seen them!
So you've ordered 17 bettas?! Niiiice! I'm kind of curious, how many $ did you spend on the whole order? They are very fancy and look kinda expensive!
It would be nice if CZcamsrs respond. The fish aren't usually expensive. It is the trans shipper fees that bite you
@@prettypumpkin6891 I bought 1 male betta and all together it coated £28....THATS ALOT FOR A FISH😂 he costed £17.99 and then £10 for shipping
The bettas she got seems expensive,probably about $500. 😵
I ordered 10 to the uk and only paid £15 per fish including all fees and delivery to my door.
@@DG-pr3rm £150 gone, just like that.
It's just crazy how much things cost! There only going to get more expensive😓😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭🐠
I very Much Love your Videos, Taylor! Have a Wonderful 2020!
You too, Happy New Year :)
thank you so much for making betta fish videos! I have learned so much about betta fish :)
Thank you!
I feel like you could be a voice actor. You sound like a mixture of Tara and starfire from teen titans!
Welp, now that her first role is done maybe she'll get more...
Where did you order these from? (Just out of curiosity)
Many people throughout Thailand and Indonesia! It's a pain to import.
Thank you!
@@SimplyBetta Can you give us links ?
@@raphaellepaounov1325 Nope. thats why she blurred out all the labels in the video and covered them.
the pictures she used looked like it was from insta- @bettasandart probably not but just sayin
i love how carefull you are with the fish
Very nice, love your new addition to your family!!! Sorry about your losses, I wish you weren’t so hard on yourself but I get it. I hope you get to enjoy some of your projects
I can't help but be hard on myself about everything :P Thank you, I'm back to relaxing and enjoying
Never been the first comment. Keep up the good work!!!
You get one million Betta Bucks™! :D
Awesome! Lol
Welcome back your baby boy is beautiful I stumbled across your channel whilst looking for information on betta fish as I set up a tank for my young daughter I'm into discus but she loves her little betta set up we quite often watch you together so happy your back keep up the great content all and all the best for 2020
Thanks so much! I'm glad she loves her betta :)
Omg so many beautiful fish!!! I'm so sorry for the sickness, sometimes horrible things just happen 😟.
Thank you Heidi! Agreed, I'm trying to not take it too personally
I'm glad you're back. Those bettas are beautiful! I have my first spawn of galaxy kois fry who are a couple weeks old and they're doing great. Your tips always help me and you're one of my favorite breeders. I'll be looking forward to see what fry come from those bettas. I'll be so tempted to buy some off you especially the black dragon samurai ones. ♥
I love galaxy colors! And thank you, I appreciate it! I'll be putting 2 samurai to spawn next weekend and I hope it goes well :)
Just happened upon your videos as I am hoping to restart my betta hobby! I am so happy I found your videos! They are super helpful and informative! I can't wait to try out my second planted tank!
Also hoping to snag a male from any of your future spawns! So sorry to hear about the illness, I'm sure things will get better!
amazing!!! Thank you for sharing this experiece with us
Its really interesting to see what bags theyre put in and how the bags are tied and wrapped up.
I work at a pet store (no pups or cats) and when we get fish theyre in the boxes but the bags are tied and sat upright instead of the bag tube thingy. We often recieve multiple dead fish because of how theyre 'packaged'.
Very Nice video! You ordered some beautiful bettas! A Happy and a Bessed New Year 2020!
Thank you so much, I hope you have a lovely new year too!
Weather must be a lot milder this winter. Normally you have a lot of snow. Glad to see you back! 🌿🌿🌿🌿🌿🌿🌿🌿🌿🌿
That was October and it was fairly mild. Now we have a ton of snow and it's freezing haha. Good for the skiers though
Omg! That yellow male in the 2nd unboxing!
HIIII!! Just a couple things I wanna say from being a new subscriber! Thanks for making videos as I've been learning a lot and honestly didn't know there were that many different kinds of betta fish, two! You care more about your bettas then a lot of other fish keeping channels that I've watched and it really shows :) and three! you've got some really pretty eyes haha
Thanks so much for stopping by and subbing! I admit I'm a bit of a freak about my fish, haha. I'm not so great at relaxing and taking breaks, but I'm def. trying to slow down a bit.
And thank you, my ring light makes my eyes all glowy :P
Your fish really look great and I'm glad all arrived safely. Best of luck to you in the New Year, in breeding and raising these fish. You are a credit to our hobby and I hope to be able to breed some of my own fish this year.
Thank you, I need all the luck I can get :)
You have very good selection of forms! Very nice
So glad you're back, baby is getting sooo big!
Thank you! I know, he is huge. He needs to slow down so I can enjoy these stages more!
They are such beautiful fish!!! Can't wait to see what you do with them!!
Thank you! :)
I love how you take your time and show months of time in one video but I wish you would show you putting the new fish in there new homes for the first time. I just found your channel and I love it!
Well thank you and welcome! :)
Hi Taylor!
Amazing to see how someone living very far away from our region is unboxing mail-delivered betta fishes...just like we do here! 😁
And yeah..for anyone else wondering, that's how our reputable betta breeders do the betta packing for mail-delivery. Only just minus the polystyrene box and substituted with sturdy carton box, because well, for us in the same region/country as the breeders it's just a few day trips with the courier service.
For the bi-color bettas, we in Malaysia is referring to that type/line of color as "Blue Rim" and the 'cleaner' the body is, as well as the thicker/well balanced the blue banding at all the fins, the more pricey it would be. 'Clean' here means the body has no marble pattern or dots at all. All white and bright and clear. If the breeder selling you the Blue Rims already established the genetic line of his bettas, yes it would not turn into all blue and will maintain the color pattern.
If you have the opportunity, please try to purchase from Malaysia breeders too 😉
I know a few reputable breeders here and some of them have been breeding bettas for about 10 years (and still going on).
Nice Gold Dumbos, Black Samurai, Nemo, Red Koi Galaxy (?) and Yellow base Koi Galaxy(?) HM 😍😍😍
All these are quite expensive even in our region and even from unstable breeders.
I am wondering whether you have any Pikachu betta?
Sorry for this "article" 😂
Missed you!!! Welcome back!
Thank you! :)
I absolutely love the yellow bettas. ❤️
It's so wonderful to see you getting back into betta breeding! You picked some beautiful fish!!! I also had a strange outbreak in my fish room. I tried everything! Was so stressed,ready to pull my hair out. Lost 3 fish as a result. It just makes me more determined. ( They also came from Thailand) Don't beat yourself up, you have more than a full plate. It will get better. I will eagerly be awaiting your future videos🥰
Thanks so much! It's fun to be back and enthusiastic again. Sick fish and losses are the worst, thanks for the words of encouragement
Wow! Never been too early before! We love you Taylor! Bettas are the coolest... waiting for my new giant, inspired by your attempts at giants before!
Thank you!
I like them! Have fun with your new fish!
Thanks Dave!
great video . congrats on the baby. glad your back making vids
Thank you very much! :D
Simply Betta Is always on top of my watching list. Best among all betta fish channels. Looking forward for new betta breeding series. Those new betta fish are gorgeous!
I'm sorry you've had a hard time lately... but I'm glad you're back. I just found your account, and I'm now a subscriber, binging your videos. I hope 2020 will treat your bettas better, and I hope you are well. Looking forward to follow you and learn more about bettas.
Well welcome and thanks for finding me! And thanks for the good thoughts
Yay! Your back. Awesome! 😍
I am! :)
Wow, I love your channel. I'm Thai and use to breed betta when i was young in Thailand. And now I live in the US for almost 30 years. You make me want to have a betta fish again. Thanks. I really enjoy watching your channel. :)
The koi bettas look stunning
Wow, those bettas are absolutely stunning!
Thank you @lifewithpets! They're some of my favorite varieties :)
Gorgeous! also- CONGRATS on the new human addition!
Thank so much, he is the best addition of all. And the most work, haha
Taylor these are absolutely beautiful animals 😍🐟! Congratulations on the new acquisitions and all the best with your upcoming breeding projects! Happy New Year 🎉!
I’ll be in touch eventually about our Tokay 🎥😉. I’ve been so busy renovating!
Warm regards!
Hey thank you! Best luck to you too this year, you just focus on renovating :-)
I’ve been swamped too but I’m planning some Tokay videos coming up.… Sometime at least. I want to do one about making a new vivarium but they will share once my female is big enough, and one about how I tamed my male And maybe getting the crap bit out of me when I try to catch my female so I can weigh her LOL
Simply Betta 😅 oh we’ve all been there! Can’t wait to see the vids! Talk soon!
WOW THOSE ARE SOME OF THE MOST BEAUTIFUL BETTA FISH I'VE EVER SEEN IN MY LIFE!!!👍👍👍😀😀😀
Holy Mackerel....those are some fabulous betta girl....good luck with them....happy weekend!
Thank you!
Awesome you’re back !! If any one can handle the ups and downs it’s you .
Thank you :)
I'm loving the halfmoon koi....my goal fish!!
Mad respect for u, you don’t put your bettas in tiny little boxes
I do my best to get my fish in a nice little home, though sometimes that is a large jar until proper quarantine is over, which can take a long time
