    Loved your Betta tank. It's been over 50 years since I bred any when my largest spawning was 622 offspring. In those days the body size of bettas was much bigger but we didn't have them with such lovely finnage. Looks lovely.I enjoyed watching this thankyou.

    You should get some of the broader leaf varieties so he can rest on them if he wants. Just keep/grow it and inch from the surface and he will use it as a bed! Even getting some floating plants would be beneficial for him as they enjoy cover.

      I had many years when I tried to save some bettas that I didnt like where they live (into)
      After I rescued them I always felt good (especially about the ones who I moved in bigger tanks.. cuz some of them were fine in a community tank. #Not2BettasTogheter)

    • @Cytorak54

      Even though bettas can survive with just a tiny cubes doesn't mean they should, it just awful and sad to see them in such limited space and movement, even just 10-15 gallon would just be better

      lynni mendelero if you live in a more tropical climate, like Jenny, then you don't need a heater. But she did say she has a heater but keeps it in the side where the filter is. I have this tank and that's where I keep my heater too so it's out of the way.

    Add some Limnobium laevigatum to the Tank! It's a floating plant and very easy to keep and it grows like crazy! After a few days they build long roots, so the betta can hide between them. My betta loves this plant. Also it helps to keep the water parameters fine, so you have less problems with algae. Try it! Greetz from Germany, I Love your channel! 🐠🌾👌🏾

  • @faequeentitania
    @faequeentitania 8 лет назад +2

    My only recommendation would be to add a couple solid hides. Bettas like having something they can duck into to hide in if they want; being too exposed can stress them out. And I'm not super familiar with Fluval tanks, but I'm guessing there's space for a heater in the filter unit? Hopefully you optimized that, since bettas prefer 78-80 degree water. But I love the elegance of this tank; simple but pretty, and the betta is super cute.

    @tilapiastew6784 8 лет назад

    You can use super glue brand gel to put the anubius on the wood which is much quicker than the fishing line. Just put a good dab on the wood where you want it and stick the rhizome part of the plant in the gel and hold for a bit till the glue turns white, it will set up even faster if you dunk it in the water. Just a little planters tip. Nice tank and betta.

    Do you know exactly what kind of driftwood that is? It looks a little like grape wood, which is one of the types of wood that is NOT suitable for underwater use, as it will rot. People use them for decorative purposes, or in desert reptile tanks where there isn't much humidity. Other types of wood that are suitable for underwater use are malaysian, mopani, manzanita, ghost wood and spider wood.
