New 55 gallon tank. It's kept at my fiance's house. Its about four feet long. I moved all the fish from my previous videos to this tank and man are they happy with their new home. Its not planted too nicely now, but it will grow into a jungle in the a few months when the plants take over. Aquascape objective was to make keeping it clean easy. Shaky camera and glare... sorry. Just wanted to do a quick video because I was happy to see the fish so happy. More to come soon. Questions welcome. Fish list: Dragonscale Female Betta x1 Rasbora x4 Cardinal Tetras x 6 (plus 2 neon tetras) Otocinclus x 1 Albino Cory Catfish x2 Cobra/Fancy guppies - a bunch. *adding a two otocinclus and one more cory this weekend, also taking out all but four male guppies (the rest go back into their own 20 gallon). Plant list: Amazon sword Compacta sword Dwarf Sag Elodea Driftwood with two types of java fern, and some java moss. Some plastic plants to add variety (also didn't know what else to do with them). *will diy CO2 every now and then just to kept the plants happy. Tank Specs: 55 gallon (4ft) 5-15 gallon filter (x2)... 100 gal/hr water flow per filter BioMax filter media (each filter has one rated to 100 gallon) Heater Eco Complete substrate

Flake food is not good for a Betta.

Video is great... but the music dubbing is just too loud. Even with my speakers and youtube's volume control on low the music is just too distorted.

She sure is. Have her in a personal 5 gallon tank now. Will post a vid soon.

Hi Angel, I feed mine regular flake food (can't remember the brand) in the mornings. I crush it a little in my fingers for her to eat easier. Then to spoil her every few days I give her VERY LITTLE chicken liver. Sometimes I may even get her some banana worms. The chicken liver is easy, just freeze some raw liver and slice off tiny pieces when time to feed. I feed using a toothpick. Good luck. Oh, and make sure he eats they don't usually like eating off the bottom. Don't feed too much.

Hello KyLoG7!!! How do you feed your Betta? I have one in a 55G tank and I think he can't see the food floating. I'm using the Topfin bits, but he can't see it. He's been in the tank for 4 days now, it looks like he's jus fine. Maybe he is eating during the night from the bottom.

It's certainly getting there now. I have live plants, and a few were having trouble. I got in some root tabs about two weeks ago or so, and after a week they really started shooting up! So my tank is looking great now. =)

Thank you! Your tanks look pretty cool, especially those fish.

Thank you, I'm sure your tank will be better! What I've learnt recently is to not mess with the tank as much lol (I'm a serial changer when it come to the tanks)

sylverclaws - 11 years ago

Beautiful tank! And you have lovely fish too. My 55 gallon is still being worked on a bit, it doesn't look nearly as nice as yours. lol

KyLoG7 - 12 years ago

Thanks. Pretty much all the details are in the description and I answer questions. If I tried to talk I'd gaff half the time.
