cabinet is great, especially for us who are not diy people. we need more projects that those all thumbs folks, or with no time, can do.

P. Gibbons - 6 years ago

Hey! By any chance will you give me some ideas for fish names! It’s a 10 gallon planted aquarium with some dragon stone and spider wood. I’m putting a male twin tale Betta (blue) and 3 guppies and a snail! I also really like themes! (My 20 gal natural aquarium is Dr Sues Themed!) please give me ideas on names and a theme!

TurboChris90 - 6 years ago

rebecca durbin - 6 years ago

Airsoft Gaming - 6 years ago

AQUAPROS Get another table to put by the one, and get some Betta's please!!!

Heavy_B Diesel - 6 years ago

Homedepot sells stands on line.. But yeah.. Id get another cabinet for the other tank... I like uniformity.. Less cords with a single light instead of 2..

Fede Almeida - 6 years ago

Do you ever have a water dissaster on your carpet? If so, how do you solve that? (I have wooden floor, but want to make an aquarium room)

AQUAPROS - 6 years ago

Room is kept at 77F

Kayla DeVault - 6 years ago

Definatly matching stands, it's less to look at plus it'll let the tanks do the talking. Maybe stain them a really pretty color as well.

Dan D - 6 years ago

Soon i will be selling baby koi betta fish if you want to buy some on ebay they will be for sale in about 2 months

All Things Ray - 6 years ago

That cabinet does not have good bracing =\ I'd be afraid of it bowing, and eventually collapsing. WIth a 40b anyway...

Emily L - 6 years ago

Poor Jeff. Even fish enthusiasts neglect poor bettas. They're too hardy for their own good :(

JsAquaStuff - 6 years ago

Yet another great video! <3

Alex Profke - 6 years ago

Get a betta in there! I'm thinking a nice koi plakat?

Bumpy - 6 years ago

Jeff would look so good in that Monte Carlo! I like the light for both thanks, do it!

Reina Lorem - 6 years ago

woah man Jeff is looking seriously bloated! is he okay? you may want to get a heater in there he could be having constipation issues without one

Reina Lorem - 6 years ago

yeah I just hope maybe he will do something about it

Emily L - 6 years ago

Reina Lorem his gf probably doesn't like the way it looks and he seems to not give a fuck but whatever that's me interjecting more than I should

Lauren Tateyama - 6 years ago

Jeff looks bloated. You may want to lay off the feeding, as bettas have a tendency to pig out and get constipated.

Lou10 Gaming - 6 years ago

Can I have that empty tank please I want to do a aquascape

Tyler Sherwood - 6 years ago

Can you make a dwarf gourami tank? I think they are very pretty fish.

Ben Donaldson - 6 years ago

Nice Jordan Spizikes

sKmO Hamm - 6 years ago

Why is he so fat?

Reina Lorem - 6 years ago

something's really wrong with him, betta's shouldn't be like this but will be known to eat themselves to death and have to be limited on their food intake

Olli exton - 6 years ago

Good video but what about the tank next to the jungle tank

Ruben - 6 years ago

I lay a kitchen tissue on the surface of the tank and remove it right away to remove the oily film.

WakeupGrandOwl - 6 years ago

Unfortunately, Jeff is sick... do you see his belly bloat? feed him a green pea or add some epsom salt to the water, it might help him.
Might need to be fed less.

Reina Lorem - 6 years ago

WakeupGrandOwl mike commented further down that it’s been taken care of

WakeupGrandOwl - 6 years ago

Right.

Reina Lorem - 6 years ago

Teejrocks83 that much bloat could not possibly be from just one feeding

Reina Lorem - 6 years ago

WakeupGrandOwl to be clear I’m agreeing and backing you up not arguing

Reina Lorem - 6 years ago

WakeupGrandOwl I frequent the bettafish reddit and I’ve seen more then a few bettas get this big off of over eating, I’ve seen ones eat until they litterally explode. The lack of heater could also be agitating it without a heater his digestive system would be slow/ shutting down. There is also the possibility depending on where he is from and what his genetics are that it could be an internal tumour or cancer.

WakeupGrandOwl - 6 years ago

He might not have a serious illness, but he is not in optimal health. A betta who has pigged out a little too much doesn't normally swell up so badly - that happens when things are not moving or he is getting fluid retention (from something more serious). Just pointing out he is not 'doing absolutely fine' right now.

Teejrocks83 - 6 years ago

He did say that the betta was just fed bloodworms... belly bloat is likely due to overeating as opposed to an illness

Emily L - 6 years ago

Reina Lorem agree especially heated BC you know he has them available rn

Reina Lorem - 6 years ago

not a green pea, bettas are carnivorous and peas actually do more harm then good, a heater, fasting and frozen daphnia are what would be best.

But I absolutly second that something needs to be done before his stomach explodes

LoofForwards - 6 years ago

RIP Jeff's Jordan

Ben T.G. - 6 years ago

I beg you, pls get a Betta, I got a crown tail Betta! Because my other Betta just died R.I.P., but they are great!

Jordan Montgomery - 6 years ago

Love that idea of the matching stands!

SomethingReallyStrange - 6 years ago

the dino ahhaahahah

Darryl Moore - 6 years ago

I love the idea of the single 36 over the two tanks.

Rosie McLeod - 6 years ago

Can I have neon tetras and guppies my mom thinks they will fight but I don’t think they will it’s a 3.3 gallon

Chico the Human - 6 years ago

Rosie McLeod That is too small for either fish, even a single guppy needs 5 to 10 gallons and neons need around 20 gallons. It’s even a bit small for a Betta, but one could work.

AmazonessCabbage - 6 years ago

That's too small of a tank, get a betta fish

twistertc - 6 years ago

hey man, been following your chanel since november and so far ive been lovin it, i got a question, do you a good place where i can order blood worms and some nice seeds? where im from is really hard for me to get those.

Reina Lorem - 6 years ago

blood worms are frozen so you can't really order them online! highly recommend checking your LFS

Spidy Duz It - 6 years ago

what plants can I use for a low tech betta tank

C K - 6 years ago

Anubias

Emily L - 6 years ago

Spidy Duz It javamoss is hardy so are the moss balls he has, java fern if you have a substrate

the bearded fish keeper - 6 years ago

Plant-Based Experiment - 6 years ago

I would like to see a tank with some blue grey and green river rock that's been smoothed and you can have lilies in it, and a bunch of really cool plants like a carpet in various spots but other spots it's just rock, and have guppies in it

Linus Börjesson - 6 years ago

Buy one more and paint them both black :)

Brackon - 6 years ago

I would do a middle support of that cabinet as the particle board probably would just break with about 400 pounds on it. That is of course if you wanted to do a 40 breeder

loop 323 - 6 years ago

hey. I'm setting up a planted tank soon but I need some help. its gonna be cold water and pretty close to a window. So I was wondering if there are any plants that I can put in cold water and that will do well? thanks.

Broncos 18 - 6 years ago

loop 323 nice

loop 323 - 6 years ago

thanks for saying but I already new all of this lol. don't worry about the fish as they have grouped up 2gether so they are fine and doing well in my tank I have them in atm. and I am planning on buying abunch of plants and doing water changers every 2-3 days so the tank will be fine. I just need to know what plants will live in cold water that's all lol.

Reina Lorem - 6 years ago

you also need a ridiculous amount of plants to absorb the biproducts of fish without a cycle. without the beneficial bacteria to convert the ammonia biproduct of a fish into Nitrates youre left with high levels of ammonia. Plants will only absorb small amounts of Ammonia without dying, where as they absorb a far higher amount of nitrates easier. You have to take that into account when making it. A small amount of money wont work for that.

Reina Lorem - 6 years ago

Cory catfish need atleast groups of 6 because they're schooling fish. White cloud mountain minnows need atleast groups of 10. Zebra Danio need groups of 8-10.

loop 323 - 6 years ago

3 white cloud mountain ninnnows 3 zebra danios and soon to have 3 very small cold water cory dora fish.

loop 323 - 6 years ago

I'm trying to make one of those tanks were nothing is in it just plants and fish. Pluss I only have a small amount of money left for some more fish any way.

Reina Lorem - 6 years ago

you could get a good heater and then it wouldn't really matter :)

Chico the Human - 6 years ago

loop 323 anacharis and java moss have low light requirements and do well in low temps.

Dec Staley - 6 years ago

Why would you cabinet come with no top on?

Reina Lorem - 6 years ago

it's the kind you put in the kitchen, so you would put whatever counter you were putting on all your cabinets in your kitchen

Fishy Fish - 6 years ago

Why didn't you get scarlet badis for the dragon stone moss ball aquarium. You said it was a good idea and you would do it in the comments. Anyway, if you didn't put them there, put them in one of these new tanks.

Clément Pigot - 6 years ago

I love that tank Mike!! I wonder what fish will you choose. Why not adding some marsilea and eleocharis here and there? That would make the aquarium look more natural.

Clément Pigot - 6 years ago

Reina Lorem - 6 years ago

I have a delta named Kvothe the Finless in a 5 gal with salvinia, wisteria, christmas moss a baby mystery snail that came in on my plants I need to get rid of, he was he had absolutly no cadual fin when I got him. And I have m baby hawke in a 10gal Hawke is a very sick veiltail who should have been culled when he was a baby hes a little deformed and more prone to illness then most but I love him and I will till he passes which I fear might sadly be soon as I think his swimmers bladder may be failing. Hawke's tank has silk plants as his apple snail buddies eat any plants that go in.

Reina Lorem - 6 years ago

As you probably guessed from my comments I keep bettafish lol I also can diagnose most betta illness (betta get sick a lot) and while I've been taking a short break I am on the Bettafish reddit too often, a great place to get advice on sick betta

Katheryn Karn - 6 years ago

I have 7 bettas. 4 females, three males. My females are Mirage (turquoise veiltail in a 5.5 gal), Hathor (blue dragonscale delta in a community 29 gal), Pearl (white doubletail in a 29 gal community), and Nephythys (black halfmoon female, she is in a large mesh breeder in Pearl's tank while I wait to get another tank. She's also in there due to a tumor on her side - I don't want to strain her with a huge space). My males are Drago (marble plakat in a 5.5 gal), Spooky (black crowntail with orange fins in a 5 gal), and Charlie (white super delta with a black mustache in a 5 gal. He's marbling and developing more blackish-blue on his sides and tail). And I still want more :D

Lua - 6 years ago

I have 8 males. 3 crown tails, 1 HMPK, 1 half moon, one round tail, and 2 veil tail. All in their own 10 or 5 gallon tanks. My bedroom has become over run.

TheAussies BeforeTime - 6 years ago

AQUAPROS
I have 2 bettas. A baby betta named cooper and a male veil tail named Baymax. Baymax is in a 10 gal with some guppies and a heater and a filter, and one moss ball. Cooper has a 5 gal with 3 live plants and sand and a heater filter, and 6 marimo moss balls

JordyGirl - 6 years ago

AQUAPROS I have a betta sorority!!! You should make one!

Ali Als - 6 years ago

AQUAPROS I would move the 38g, buy another stand like the one you got make them match and add 2 other tanks on it. So you'll have 4 tanks instead of the 2 and the 38g
