Kaelee McCoy - 8 years ago

+Hickster58 I am really excited

Hickster58 - 8 years ago

Nice, that will be one very happy betta:)

Samantha - 8 years ago

After a couple days your females are going to start to lay eggs and really fat. This is because the females are way to close to the male. Trust me I did this and I ended up taking them back):

Having snails comes with some inconveniences, I bought two mystery snails; one blue and one ivory colored. The blue one died unfortunately after two weeks, but the ivory one thrived. So I accepted it and moved on.....4 weeks later, I saw 10 baby snails. I freaked out but after speaking with my local pet store owner, he said he'll get them off my hands once they become nickle-size. So ok, no big deal.....they were detrimental to my betta fish and the 10 gallon tank they were in. Another 4 weeks go by, I'm seeing hundreds of tiny baby snails.....So yeah now I officially have a snail infestation. although the tank and the water is pristine at this moment....eventually they need to be disposed. So yeah, please think twice when purchasing any kind of snail. some snails are Hermaphrodites and will reproduce

Javier Delacruz - 7 years ago

Terrae Spiritus I had the exact problem

Terrae Spiritus - 8 years ago

meant the first 10 baby snails were Not detrimental to my betta fish and 10 gallon tank they were in lol

MotoSteve - 8 years ago

Can the fish see each other through the screen? I really wanna create a dual beta tank with my 20 gal tank, because I only have one beta at the moment. But I feel really bad for it because it just looks so bored.

Hickster58 - 8 years ago

yes they can. mine just flare at each other for a short time and move on with their day, lol

NiWiPe36 - 8 years ago

Just a question, if you have 4 snails in a 10 gallon tank with betta, would it be ok to have 1 snail and 1 betta together in a 2.5 filtered/ heated tank?

Hickster58 - 8 years ago

You should be fine doing so. Some Bettas may attack even snails though, but I have never had this problem.

Claire Rosa Pets - 9 years ago

Awesome video! I love the tank.

+Claire Rosa Thanks:)

Jr Maldonado - 9 years ago

why do you separate them?

Cheryl Mason - 9 years ago

+Jr Maldonado Plus shame on you poor fish you should do your homework before making any quick decisions! And if you are going to put a male and a female together it must be AT LEAST a 20+ gallon tank and the number of females must be greater then the number of males. (from what ive learned) And you don't put them in with each other right off the bat you need to slowly put them together and get them used to each other. Males are very aggressive females are less aggressive but if you put two females together without slowly introducing them first they will likely kill or badly injure each other.

Cheryl Mason - 9 years ago

+Jr Maldonado To lower the risk and damage when breeding betas all breeders use Almond leaves or Almond Leaf extract which will put your betas in a trance ( pretty much there high as a kite) so that they will not flare.

Hickster58 - 9 years ago

+Jr Maldonado sorry to hear that. u have to watch em carefully

Jr Maldonado - 9 years ago

Nvm tried it and the boy killed the female :/

Jr Maldonado - 9 years ago

+Hickster58 which is why trying to go to my local petco and buy a baby boy & girl betta. so everything should turn out okay right?

Hickster58 - 9 years ago

+Jr Maldonado You have to do it carefully. also, both of mine are males.

Jr Maldonado - 9 years ago

+Hickster58 then how do bettas breed then if they'll end up killing each other?

Hickster58 - 9 years ago

they'll kill each other otherwise!

AirOwnage20 - 9 years ago

What's that divider wall thing in the middle of the tank called, and where did you get it? Btw, awesome tank!

Hickster58 - 9 years ago

Thanks:)
I made it myself with my dad's help. it is actually just 2 book report "spines" (not sure of the actual name) and for the divider itself, I use plastic mesh from walmart. I used aquarium silicone to glue the spines to the tank and cut the mesh to the correct size. It Is real easy to do, but you have to let the silicone sit for a couple days before filling the tank with water to allow it to dry.

Kahla Peck-Snyder - 9 years ago

you should be very cautious with those two females together

haylee perez - 7 years ago

Kahla Peck-Snyder I have to female's together and they do just fine

How did u put 2 females together? dont they fight

Hickster58 - 9 years ago

+Jeffrey Weir depends on the individuals in question, but you can usually get away with females together, especially in a bigger tank.

SusanneAyotte - 9 years ago

You can cut a water bottle as a buffer for your filter. Check out the vedios.

JIM Nova - 9 years ago

But one male n 2 females.?..far as i know is ok..to mix them...i have 6 females n..one male...for more then 2months...n there fine...30more community fishes....in a 50gl..tank

Hickster58 - 9 years ago

+JIM Nova In a bigger tank your more likely to be ok as they have their own territory, whereas in a small tank, they're more likely to squabble,

I just uploaded mine. But I only have 1 fish. this came up in the suggestions from my video.

@Alberto87 planted fishtanks
Thanks so much:) Dividing a ten gallon is a great way to have 2 or more bettas in a tnak together, and its easy to do. Thanks for the sub:D

Alberto Samano - 9 years ago

Nice tank, those betas look very happy and healthy I like also the idea of dividing the 10 gallon tank even though looks bigger. good job!
you got one like and a subbed.

Purple Domino - 9 years ago

that looks like a 20 gallon

Hickster58 - 9 years ago

It's just a 10. A 20 is both longer and taller, in either tall or long form.

Amanda Stevenson - 9 years ago

The rule is 10 gallons for 5 females to even out aggression

Faris Ahmad - 7 years ago

Amanda Stevenson your correct and wrong at the same time logically even if he divides the female part of the two they will have 2.5 gallons each for sure but here there is a mutual sharing of space going on

Amanda Stevenson - 8 years ago

+GamingCentral but if that's a 10 gallon split into two that would mean that your females have 2.5 gallons each.

GamingCentral - 8 years ago

5 gallons for each betta

Nick Holbert - 9 years ago

Sorry female looks fat

Nick Holbert - 9 years ago

Sorry bra

Hickster58 - 9 years ago

ciaran kelly - 10 years ago

Hickster58 - 9 years ago

Eric Ly - 9 years ago

+Hickster58 no worries! as long as they dnt kill each other! haha

Hickster58 - 9 years ago

Thanks:) The one still actually picked on the other a bit, but not bad enough like some will.

Eric Ly - 9 years ago

+Hickster58 ur bettas look really nice! and i like how 2 females are together becoz usually people say 2 females will also fight to death but yours look like they r living in harmony!! :)

ciaran kelly - 10 years ago

+Hickster58 ok

Hickster58 - 10 years ago

Thanks:D

Rocco Vee - 10 years ago

Hickster58 - 10 years ago

http://www.tetra-fish.com/Products/fish-tank-aquarium-kits/led-aquarium-kits.aspx is the tank, but I got mine from Petco. My dad and I made the dividers from book report cover holders and plastic mesh stuff boughten at Walmart, and siliconed it into the tank.

TheFishGuy 8171 - 10 years ago

frenchfrog88 - 9 years ago

+TheFishGuy 8171

Hickster58 - 10 years ago

TheFishGuy 8171 - 10 years ago

What brand is your fish tank and were did you get it?

Hickster58 - 10 years ago

Thanks for watching. Its a tetra, I believe I got it from Petco.

Diana Ramos - 10 years ago

Did you use regular tap water then used the conditioner package. I want to put goldfish fish in it but not sure if I need any other product for the water. Thank you

Hickster58 - 10 years ago

+Diana Ramos Your welcome:)

Diana Ramos - 10 years ago

Thank you for the advice

Hickster58 - 10 years ago

+Diana Ramos Thanks for watching/commenting. I just use tap water that I use conditioner with, in this case the stuff that came with the tank. I also usually let the water sit out for about a day. For each water change, I do the same thing, use conditioner and let the water sit for a day.
Just my opinion on goldfish for this tank. It is not recommended to put in goldfish in this small of a tank, especially as they get bigger. Most goldfish will grow to at least 6-7 inches each, so it is recommended that goldfish are put in a 20 gallon tank for the first goldfish and then add another 10 gallons for each additional goldfish. They also have no stomach, so good goes through them faster than tropical fish, making them poop more and then the poop turns into unwanted ammonia, which is not good, especially in a tank this small.
