Aqueon Mini Bow fish tank + Betta fish update 45 27

Betta 10 years ago 24,804 views

I finally got my new fish tank home- so called "Aqueon Mini Bow Desktop Aquarium". Unfortunately, I got two bad surprises. The tank was on 1 gallon, when it was suppose to be a 2.5 gallon. It clearly said in the description that this tank was 2.5 gallon. Well, it wasnt. I think that 2.5 gallon is the minimun size for a Betta fish. They shouldnt live in a tank smaller than that. The second surprise I noticed when the tank came, was that the power plug contacts were American, and they cant be used in Swedish power plug stations. But I found a thing called "Voltage transformer/Converter" that will allow the power plug to match Swedish plug stations. So thats a solution, thank god! I have now ordered a new unopened and unused tank of the same design from America, so its on its way home now! I also show you a little update on my dearest betta fish Grimm! He still lives in his petbox, until the new tank is set-up and cycled. The water in the petbox is quite blurry and milky, and I think that is because I do several water changes a week, and I have poured down new conditioners to the water each time. I guess that the new water reacts to the conditioners and that why the water gets milky. The fish is not bothered by that though, since Bettas likes black water =)

Forget about plastic and get a glass tank, 2.5 or 5 gallon and set up a proper tank. Get the smallest whisper power filter, hang on back of tank, it will have an intake flow control which you can set on low so he doesn't get sucked in. A full hood is available for both size tanks. A mini heater is needed as well.

The filter killed one of my fish it keep sucking the fish towards the intake stressing him out till he died

Crisna Santos - 7 years ago

Betta fish 300 mine too! but he survived, he was in a community tank before but I removed him and put him in a 2.5 gallon tank just cause I'm afraid of him getting suck by the filter again.

Betta fish 300 same. Lived fine in a dirty 1 gallon bowl for 3 months. Lived 2 days in the aqueon 1 gallon tank. Filter was too strong.

Günter TV - 8 years ago

how much did you pay for the new 2,5 gal one?

Betta Bet - 8 years ago

Does any one notice that the front of the tank looks like a band word

Brittany May - 9 years ago

The smallest I would put a Betta in is a 1.5 gallon tank, but it depends on the circumstances. My VT male was moved from the cup he was kept in at the grocery store to a 2.5 gallon tank only to act stressed out. When I moved him into his current 1.5 gallon tank made by Tetra, he perked right up. I've tried moving him back into the 2.5 gallon tanks, however, I continue to get the same results. Perhaps he prefers a smaller tank?

I went to the pet store and got a mini bow tank neon gravel a blue net water conditioner

PuffThe BeardedDragon - 10 years ago

That's the mini version I have the regular

AlexandrasPets - 10 years ago

yeah, it was XD it was suppose to be a 2.5 gallon.

Jazzy - 10 years ago

Lol dont think i did say something negative. I just said water looks nasty. Do want me to tell something that isn't.

AlexandrasPets - 10 years ago

Then that is good =) i think its important to read the description cause it usually includes fact about things i dont mention in the video. I realky care for my Betta, so of course i wouldnt keep him in dirty watef! :)

sharugan's fish - 10 years ago

Great video alexandra i like it the tank :D

AlexandrasPets - 10 years ago

Thanks! Yes, im in love with the design of the tank, and that both light and filter comes with it without taking up too much space! :D but the tank in thid video is only 1 gallon and too small, but ive ordered a 2.5 now :)

FishyDrizzy - 10 years ago

Infamous Aquatics - 10 years ago

AlexandrasPets - 10 years ago

Yeah totally :)

Infamous Aquatics - 10 years ago

Worth the few dollars. Peace of mind is amazing

AlexandrasPets - 10 years ago

+Infamous Aquatics yeah, that is possible :P but now ive ordered my new tank from a serious company, so now i know that it eill be right this time :)

Infamous Aquatics - 10 years ago

Or was just being shady?

AlexandrasPets - 10 years ago

Yeah, it was a private person who was the seller of this tank. I guess she didnt have a clue how to count gallon volume XD

Betta fish need at lest 1gallon of space

NCC-1701 - 8 years ago

My first fish lived in a 1 gallon bowl, with two flowers and a small decoration, and lived a year and a half. (he was from walmart)

AlexandrasPets - 10 years ago

Im sure they can live a good life in 1 gallon, but i think its hard to really decorate the tank as a betta want in thst little space. You can hardly put down several plants without making the space alot snaller than it is. Thats why i think that a 2.5 gallon is minimum space, so you can put down some thriving plants and decorations for your fish :)

Chantelle Suiter - 10 years ago

How annoying! But at least you have an emergency tank. I'm sure Grimm won't mind waiting a little bit longer for his permanent tank :) Good video!

AlexandrasPets - 10 years ago

Hi! Yes it is XD but i guess that its a thing you will have to count with when you buy stuff over internet ;) but anyway, the new 2.5 gallon tank is on its way, and then i will set it up and start to cycle it for maybe a week before Grimm will be moved over. Abd lets hope that the water keeps better clean in the new tank! :D
