Ammonia test before adding fish-check! Temperature acclimate-check! Lid-check! Gentle water flow-check! Feed small amount-check! Great job!

      @@spencer2703 yep, but go check out the crappy job his friend Paul did setting up a betta tank. The info is available, but will people follow it? Mostly no. Most pet stores will happily sell a fish bowl with a betta. I’m always glad to see newbies making the effort to do things right and present good examples.

    I have had several betta fish. For about 3 years I had a male betta in a 5 Gallon next to a 20 gallon with a huge topper for 2 gerbils. The Betta would dance and react to the sweet gerbils antics. Betta will always have a special place in my heart. They can live to up to 5 years if kept properly and can be very outgoing and wonderful to watch and interact with. Thanks for actually researching and informing people.

    Hey Griffin, what a great looking first tank. Looks like you've done everything right, but always expect the unexpected. Before I moved to Vegas, I always had fish. great hobby and well worth the effort. It's also good for lowering blood pressure. I'm very happy and proud of you for getting this. Thank You, as always Griffin, for sharing and I think You should name it "Aquarius," partly since it is a cool name for a blue fish and it just seems to fit it. Thank You again & look forward to your next video.

    Definitely better then the first tank I had lmao, I still have bettas today too, definitely a good starting point. A suggestion I’d give is if you notice the water flow is to strong for him, you can pull off the head where the water is Comming out and put a small piece of a course sponge in , it will slow it down without stopping water, or filter floss before the main sponge might slow water down.
