Thanks for watching, I hope you enjoyed!
Great aquarium! just make sure to use the master test kit properly. There’s two bottles for ammonia and you only used one, which is why it didn’t show properly. Also, you can put a prefilter sponge on both the input and output of the filter to baffle the flow. Like you said, the fish were getting bullied by the filter. It will also prevent the fish’s fins or other debris from getting sucked up into the filter. If you do that be sure to add multiple air stones for surface agitation (it replaces oxygen in the tank.) You should also move the filter output to the other side of the tank. It will help distribute the heater’s heat and will create a current in the tank. For a first tank, or any tank- it’s an AMAZING aquarium. I wish I had the room for a 75 gallon. You could get a 30 gallon tank, put your current fish into that tank, then get angelfish or another big fish for the big tank. Or you could add more fish to the tank after it’s more established. Anyway, great tank, and thanks for reading this long comment!
EDIT: I also appreciate that you did a lot of research before you setup the tank. Lots of people just put bettas into bowls!
Yes
Boutta write this exactly lol 😂👍
I appreciate that person and wished that there would be way more persons like that. Congrats my man.
lmao i didn’t realize i wrote this much 😅 i was just gonna tell him about the test kit then i just kept writing
@@flaming547 I had a half moon betta and he was very chill 😂. Sadly, he had a disease and died. He might be better off now because his tail was massive and it weighed him down so much he bit parts of it off and didn’t eat. He was completely fine with other fish and very special to me. I hope he’s in a better place now. I know I sound like that vegan teacher, but always feel so bad for bettas because they are very commonly mistreated and abused and some types are bred to have big tails but those types of tails often make it difficult for them to swim.
Been keeping tanks for 10 years and I’m happy to see you having fun doing this, and that you did proper research!
As an aquarium hobbyist I cannot tell you how excited and happy I am that you actually did research and went the natural way (real plants, and deco). And it looks soo good 👍
It does look good but as an expert, I noticed that he put guppies and a Betta together and the Betta are normally slightly aggressive fish and will harm fish with long tails like themselves.
@@OGfrog_eco yeah I noticed that too and tbh I cringed a bit 😬 but I don’t think it’s the worst stocking choice I’ve seen, the betta has tons of space and also Uhm well “enrichment” 😄
@@OGfrog_eco i think it really depends on the betta too 😅 i had a 25 gal community tank filled with mostly guppy's and i bought sorority Betta's they were like 6 or 7 all females (i think males are more aggressive tho) they were doing great, i just turned the water flow down a bit cause i dont think the Betta's like too much flow😅 anyways i think they might work together depending on the Betta's attitude 😂, feel free to correct me😁 im still relatively new to the hobby about only a year now. 😅
I've had fish for 7 years, and for a beginner tank you did a really good job! If your interested I have a few suggestions:
1. Quick start helps, but you should wait a few weeks still. Its mostly just a booster.
2. You can rinse the sand outside to help.
3. A UV light should help with cloudy water and algae. (Although some algae can actually be beneficial).
4. Snails are great, I would add a few besides ones you already have from the plants.
5. I like your stocking choices! With the guppies, add a 3 to 1 ratio of females if you want babies. (Currently you just have males). Of course, just males can be great too although eventually you'll have to replace them. The betta fish is SUPER risky though, especially because its a male. They are okay with some species in large tanks, but these guppies have flowy fins so watch out for nipping and remove immediately if you see that.
6. When putting fish into your tank use a net to so dirty water won't go into the tank.
7. Mollies, Platies, and Neon Tetras are also great beginner fish to add in the future.
Yay
yo do u know much abt reef tanks?
because if you do, I need help with hair algae. badly
@@DaWaffleDogHair algae? Im dont keep reef tanks but generally the best way to get rid of algae is snails, and shrimp. I heard shrimp get hair algae while snails mostly get the stuff on the glass. I know i tried snails and they cleaned a 20 gallon like it was nothing. ( only like 3 ramshorn snails)
For me I had to wait like one month in like 2 weeks
Could we have a part 2?? ❤🐟🐠
This guy actually did the research to keep his tank at the best condition he could, congrats
Yea congrats
Yeah most people who are into this stuff actually do. It’s not that big of a deal.
@Mad__Jax STFUB he trying to be nice and you fucking it up
@@Jaythesparrowno actually about 53% of people don’t when they make their first tank and their fish end up dying or getting sick
good im at the ads and i have goldfish so i dont wanna see another guy to put there fish in a clorinated fish tank that isnt cycled
Well done man! Love to see more people getting into the aquarium hobby. Solid aquascape btw!
i have to 2 fish tanks one is a small one the other one is a 3 and a half feet i have a betta i also have an akara cichlid
I am sorry its 2 and a half feet
@@hussainbilal1298not to brag but I have 55 tank all full
So I keep fish myself and here are some tips for you, Luke.
1. It's best to put the thermometer at the bottom of the tank.
2. When filling up your tank, you can use plastic wrap (by putting it in front of the siphon) to prevent the sand from shifting.
3. Also a bubbler will be significant, so your fish will get plenty of oxygen.
Hope your fishies will live a good life!
this was useful to me thanks
i have fish too😊 i dont really know much about keeping fish in a tank, cuz i keep my koi fish in a pond, but we were thinking about getting a tank for small fish thanks!👍
The oxygen exchange appears at the surface, a (bubbler) do not make a significant different and does rather work against Co2 building up and plants will then suffer, many and healthy plants equals healthy and ecosphere aquarium!
Inlet and out let of the filter need to be on the opposite side of tabk to each other other wise it won't filter all the water properly
Well, he has plants in his tank. And those will help with the oxygen. The air pump or "bubblers" won't provide oxygen to the fishes. It's the movement in water that creates tiny oxygen particles in water. Bubbles just create a movement + I can also see the water moving from his filter, so it will be fine :)
its so nnice to see big youtubers doing aquarium stuff llike ii do
The fact that luke did research and is still putting betta fish with guppies 😂😂😂
Lol long tails at that
The betta was in a bag so it is probably a female
@Thewhateveryoutuber Luke said the betta fish is a he
@@thewhateveryoutuber3289always put the fish in a bag for 20 minutes to help or it will go into shock…
Lol
Luke always comes up with such an amazing content and he always makes our day or night even better RESPECT
I agree with that.

wow i cant believ its already been over a year that you've moved in! I've been with you for a while Luke and every video that I walk over just gives me so much joy and entertainment and i could never find any other positive, loving, and caring youtuber than you Luke, keep the excellent work up Luke, Im so proud of you!
Wow, that is so impressive. Your fish are lovely. Another brilliant addition to your lovely house!!💙💙
He should get Angel fish, they are so pretty 🤩
@@PureDeenClothing Yes they are pretty, however they are really hard to take care of.
The research which shows that Betta can live with guppies 😂😂😂😂
It is true
Yeah. He has like a 70 gallon aquarium for a Betta and 8 guppies
Bro, got them baby the Anger issues, I love it 😂😂😂😂
After 10 years his house will be a Zoo
My friend has 400 cows, 7 dogs, 3 cats, 2 ferrits and 1 rabbit, lol
@@AvEditsSpottingMore math problem guy
Here before this blows up
My house has 375 gods, 69 skibidi toilets and 12 apple trees
@sizuka 🌹 no
Considering how big the tank is, I feel like the beta fish will leave them alone
Luke never fails to entertain us. he's the best.
Ye
Correct
As someone who owns two tanks, I do believe that bettas and guppies are a risky match as bettas can get aggressive often against coloured long finned fish. But my second tank has mixed bettas with other fish so if the tank is big enough you should be fine.
Edit: If you are going to get other fish I reccomend Cory catfish as since they are bottom dwellers they won’t interact with the bettas as much so less Vance of them fighting.
Betta from stores can be in a community tank I hope I know but it depends on the personality I have 54 tank my biggest tank is a 700 gallon
I mean red tail catfish and oscars are also a good choice
Yea I have a 5.5 gallon and my beta is fine with my 3 tetras
@@MapCat420thats a joke right😭 oscars would eat everything in there
it's like seeing a kid opening his christmas gift. can't contain his excitement. and kudos for the research effort. welcome to the fishkeeping club
I love Luke, he puts so much effort to entertain us ❤
I can’t find a video without this comment
@@Dadognose u really watched all of Luke's videos just to see if there is the same comment
@@abagailportillo2084how much free time do you have
Yeah
Here Before This Goes Viral
😂
Lukes creativity makes everyone's face smile. I love his vids so much, and whenever I am bored or sad, I watch his vids. Amazing Video, Luke. Say Hi to your fish for me :)
Luke, I started watching your tiktok videos around 2 years ago and then I started watching on your channel. I love your videos and I appreciate how much effort and time you probably put into it. (Also the editors, you guys probably work really hard, so thank you)
Thank you 🙏
This was the perfect thing this channel was missing… finally you match yet another one of my hobbies 😂
Luke was from tiktoks during Covid-19 and now he's doing something cool and good. Actually learned something from fishes from Luke!
Those fish are lucky to have such a careful and caring owner ❤
Hey luke. Just letting you know that the plants will be fine, you should also try to reduce the output of the filter until the fish dont look like they’re struggling to swim. Bettas and guppys is 50/50 as you know but endler guppys and bettas are completely fine endlers are alot smaller but they look great i had 7 with my betta and they were fine.
guppies and bettas can be a bad idea but the tank is 75 gallons so they should all be fine, more space less aggressive
Luke I’ve kept guppies and I have a few tips
1 for every 1 male try to have 3 females to stop males fighting
2 for every inch of fish = gallon of water except beta wich = 10 through 20 Gallons to stop fish dying
3 to even out feeding use some tablets and flakes so every fish gets food
4 guppies breed a lot so if you want there young to survive buy some floating plants for them
5 you can tell a male from a female by how bright there colors are
If any of these help you
Love the fish ❤
I missed one plecos are a great way to clean out your water because the filter won’t do all of it
Only buy dwarf though because a advertised small pleco will actually get to two feet
@brotherbros9395 plecos will not clean your water
They create a lot of waste ie a lot of ammonia. They just eat some surface algae.
1 inch per gallon rule is just plain not true, a 10 inch koi could not live in a 10 gallon, also like apathetic squid said, plecos will only make your water quality worse because they produce a lot of waste and only eat algae. (I have a planted 20 gallon community tank)
I thought I menched the extra inches but I just reread my comment and I realized I didn’t also cleaning water was a typo thanks for clarifying it
He should make a series of this! I’d really enjoy it! Who else?
I am so happy to see a RUclipsr that is finally doing fish keeping right. I have been keeping fish for years and while he might not have explained his research the best I am just happy to see that he did any research at all. Keep up the good work Luke.
Luke always finds the best way to entertain us, dude your effort really shows in these, great job!
Tips: don’t use the water that comes from the fish store (could be nasty) the filter does not clean the tank itself, it provide water flow and is a housing spot for bacteria that is actually cleaning the tank. Insta start bacteria should still be given some time before you put fish in. You could put something to hinder the flow from the filter because beta fish like soft flow. Also ph is only a concern for the fish, some fish like high ph (hard water) some like low ph (soft water).
Bro will have over 100 guppies by the end of the year
Don't forget that you have wash out ever 2 weeks. Love your vids!
I study this stuff all day your tank is great
I think we all can agree that Luke deserves to get a medal from how good his videos are! He never fails to entertain us.
hey luke! big fan, have been watching u for ages! just wanted u to know that i hope everything is well for you and all of ur fans care for u.
Love you bro.
Luke is always so good with building these things, and as you see in these types of videos, hard work pays off
Keep up the hard work man:)
yes he does
this is just a suggestion, i know its been a year, but have you tried going out in nature and grabbing pure black soil and thats below the sand cap, has bacteria already in the soil, also river water thats spring fed, (no polluants) is amazing, no cloudy water its crazy how nature works, but yeah anyways i got this idea from father fish. happy fish keeping man! :)
Is it a coincidence that you are my favourite RUclipsr and we’ve got the exact same fish😮
Fish are so cool I have 9 fish tanks and they are so cool and fun to look after
Its beautiful to see someone’s first aquarium not be a 1 gallon with pink gravel and a dead betta
As an experienced fish keeper, this is a good tank.
Same
Same
I have a tank pretty much just like this and my levels were all good but my fish died after a week
Same
The scream represent every fish keepers struggles owning a planted tank.😂😂😂 16:26
Big thing to help your plants stay healthy is some kind of plant fertilizer! It will really help keep them alive. Good luck!
If you would like having more fishes, don't buy more male guppies or other sorts of fish, simply buy 10 to 12 female guppies, they will have guppy fries in a month or so. Just keep in mind, I am not forcing you to keep guppies 😂 just giving an advice. By the way that message was sent by a guppy keeper which is also an experienced fish keeper😅. By the way I forgot to tell you that if the fishes are staying at the top of the tank, that means that there is a lack of oxygen in the water. Put a bubbler in the tank. My brother is a great fan of you and loves your memes on tiktok.
Year I have about 50 guppies I started with 10 they breed quic
Bro that tank is gonna get infested💀
dude that looks insane! it fits so incredibly well!
You didn’t put the drops from ammonia Bottle number two In and even though you had a quick start you still have to cycle your tank for a month even though Bettas are really hardy it will eventually get really sick from the ammonia nitrate and nitrite in the tank please do more research on properly cycling a fish tank
I love people like him and I was shocked because his betta is a wild and for all y’all not believing me look at a wild betta it has vibrant spots like his betta
100% luke is the best fish youtuber in America because he uses real plants rather than Fake plants, W LUKE!!!

Love u Luke!
Who else

Great job Luke, I love you videos and they always make my day better. I could never live without them
It looks very nice and your fishes are amazing. I also have an aquarium, but I have a turtle.
when he was talking about going away for a couple days and finding a place for it to stay, it reminded me of that tiktok he made XD
Hey man if you have too many snails you can get some assassin snails which eat other snails. Ones the assassin snails eat all the other snails you need to give them algae wafers stuff like that to eat. You can also breed the assassin snails and sell them to local fish shops but not all Fish shops accept them.
(I am from England don’t know if that makes a difference also do research of your own)
Good luck 👍🏻
The amount of times luke got mad got me dying
Wayyy to much work but Luke spends his week doing this for us so let’s appreciate the work he puts into his videos!
This is how much work is necessary for proper care of an aquarium, maybe you are just too lazy to think about that
Like this if he should do more videos on his aquarium.
Yes
1:41 Pro fishtanker 😂
Broo the small plant is tied to rock or driftwood (anubias). And try to use aqua soil for big plant growth
As an aquarium hobby enthusiast, you should remove as many snails as you can. Most likley they are ramshorn snails and these snails reproduce so bad they will take over your tank within months.
BRO YOU CANT PUT A BETTA WHIT GUPPYS
Dang 😶
You can just buy a non aggressive Betta see if it flares at other Betta if it doesn't it's ok
❤ woah first!!! Love your videos :)
Your the real first
Real first nice
The video says 30 min ago but you're comment says 31 min ago 💀
So many things he did wrong (understandably since he's a beginner I assume) but my anxiety level went through the roof. 😂
Yes as a fellow fish/shrimp keeper he was a bit of a beginner but nonetheless he still did better then most non-fish youtubers. As he had a male betta with long/fancy tailed guppies or how he didn't wash the decor etc.
Yeah I'm a beginner myself, but researched everything, I am still learning, I definitely made mistakes, first attempt I had a sandcap over soil, I had very muddy water 😂 then the plants died sand was hard to clean, I could not get lava rock to stick to anything and it be sturdy.
After months figuring everything out, switching to an undergravel filter, with has been the best thing I did, kept the sponge filter too, gravel is much better than sand for me.
I had a perfect ecosystem, just needed top offs.
Of course after all the hard work I see water around the tank, take it all down for it not to be leaking and the mesh I had as a cover siphoned water out 😶 so bought a bigger tank spent far to much money on rocks but I love it, can't wait for the plants to grow out 😊
Congrats on the new tank Luke! As someone who has owned guppies for close to 8 years now, I wanted to say that it’s totally normal for them to hang around the top of the fish tank.. it seems that is where they like to hang around most of the time
Hello i have been looking to get guppies for a long time now but still confused what i need to buy for the fish to live. I used to have some fish after they all died i gave up but now wiling to give another try. Feel free to give me tips what to buy and things I definitely need to keel them alive❤😂
@@nomzy_twitchthey have to have a 10 or more gallon aquarium and you should always buy more females than males to avoid fighting 2 females for every 1 male (Females are larger and aren't that colorful) also provide them plenty of hiding space with plants and thats pretty much all you need
@@nomzy_twitchif you live in a hot place you don't need a filter but if you don't I suggest getting one because they are tropical fish
your tank is missing an air pump, that's what makes them breath
The filter makes enough surface tension for the oxexsen to be dissolved so he doesn't really need it , I have one and only use it for emergency porpuses, it's weird that they are at the top so maybe they do need one
@@AdamGolding-t1kyes this air pumps aren’t necessary till they are needed
Bro you bought all male guppies
I have 5 male guppies in my fish tank

Great job luke! Love to see more people promoting the fishkeeping hobby, especially from non fishtubers. Good luck! Not bad for your first tank. 😉
Please make a part 2. I rlly enjoyed this one
I always see people on tiktok putting fish in 5 inch cubes with no plants and no filtration. Im happy to see this its really what fishkeeping is supposed to be
I love this vid!!!🔥 I need a part 2!!!
18:12 i did not know that plants can grow??😂😂
I thought he was making a monster tank but the way he compromised with the size of his fishes was too hilarious 😂
Luke is soon gonna have a huge unwanted snail population
18:25 hopefully you know that plants grow😂😂😂
13:48 it’s soo satisfying to see the rocks absorb the water.
18:47 welcome to my life 😭
Great video. I found it super relatable since me myself made my first planted aquarium with stem plants recently. I recognise your struggles with planting the the roots into the soil and I admire your patience with everything. I really do envy your patience. Btw really love your tank and hope your fish do well :)
This is by far and i mean farrr the best aquarium ive ever seen a influencer set up. Not some bowl with no heater or filter but a 75 gal with great aquascape, great stock, amazing filter, and a great owner
never seen a youtuber do research before. good job
Someone’s been watching fish for thought
Great job with everything else but I had beta and guppies in the same tank and the beta bit there tails off but Mabey because your tanks so big it will be fine
Great video though and your right it probably will be fine he look like he had a peaceful personality.
Luke, the Betta fish in that aquarium is going to have a hard time, just like the rest of the fish you chose.
The Betta fish should be kept alone in an aquarium with low water flow since its fins are not designed for extensive swimming. Betta fish are accustomed to living in still, shallow waters, and swimming in such a large aquarium will exhaust them.
Furthermore, Guppies are incompatible with Betta fish, both in terms of water parameters and behavior. Betta fish are aggressive towards other Betta fish (especially males), and Guppies with their colorful tails resemble Betta fish, triggering their fighting instinct and leading them to attempt attacks.
Moreover, the Guppies will consume almost all of the food you provide before the Betta fish has a chance to reach the surface. Again, I insist, the Betta fish is a slow eater.
i was thinking that this guy was thinking about if they CAN survive not if they would do good in the tank
Good job for always being kind and making great content for everybody🎉
As a fish owner this actually help me out
I love his screams😂
How cool you are having a pet fish!!!!!
And also it’s very easy have a fish but when you clean it isint
hi luke i been keeping fish for a long time now and i just wana recomend you some spiecies that can work in your tank
1. shrimp they are benificial to a fish tank with your current fish and how the tank is set up i think you can have some cherry shrimp but if you are scared that they will be eaten i would recomend amino shrimp they are a little bit bigger
2. bambo shrimp with your filter they will be a good adition to a tank you will see them on loogs tryng to filter any food in the tank
3. Neon Tetras they like moving water so you can add sum i recomend 5 of them so they are happy
4. assasin snail they will eat the small baby snails those small baby snails you found are invasive they will breed and take over the whole tank they will eat all the plants
5. a mexican dwarf craw fish they are small and can work well because of the rocks
6.cory catfish are cool little fish who are gonna eat uneaten food
7. pleco plecos are a fish that grow big so i personaly only keep one
8. Kuhli loach The true Kuhli loach, occasionally referred to as eel loach, is a small eel-like freshwater fish belonging to the loach family. They originate from the island of Java in Indonesia. This snake-like creature is very slender and nocturnal
9.Bala shark The bala shark also known as the tricolor shark, tricolor sharkminnow, silver shark, or shark minnow, is a fish of the family Cyprinidae, and is one of the two species in the genus Balantiocheilos. This species is not a true shark, but is commonly so called because of its torpedo-shaped body and large fins
Tank is too small to house a school of full grown bala sharks
A really well done tank but there are a couple things that need a change.
1. The filter needs to be less aggressive.
2. Reduce the amount of plants-Guppies are very active swimmers that need space.
3. 1 or 2 caves should be added since Bettas are cave lovers and it would also reduce the risk of him attacking a Guppy.
Now that's its been about a year after this video, I'd like to see an update on how it's doing!
3 hours aho
for some reason i loved the "honestly i have no clue" 1:32
Its amazing you did all the research before doing it. Kudos And it looks amazing for a first time tank!
Bro bought a huge tank for the goofiest fish, he should’ve bought some cichlids 😂😂😂 🤦♂️
"I hope the guppies don't attack each other" 🤣 He's learning though I have 6 years of fish keeping and breeding and it's a lot of work and reading to get good at everything, beast of luck on your new fish quest!
Luke wow first time keeping fish and good husbandry you do have a verry low mainenence tank cause its understocked i think you should maybe consider buying a group of maybe corydoras and neon tetras maybe cause the fish that you have live in the top layer these fish live in the middle and bottom layer 👍🐠
Please keep making videos like this and setting up your office! 😮
This video is so perfect for the best aquarium setup 🔥🔥🔥
This is so cool to watch because I just got a beta fish and a snail
I can’t even count how many times he said guys😂
