Oops I meant tank tour

Motchi and Stella - 7 years ago

Great care and your betta fish look very heathy and they have a bunch of room

Kip Count - 7 years ago

Thanks for all these divided 10g videos. I'm working on preparing a divided 10g for my daughters. Would you say that this setup will work fine with only one corner filter on one side? Is there enough flow through the divider holes to makes sure both sides are filtered properly? Same question on a heater. Is one ok?

Lifewithpets - 7 years ago

Ok, I'll do it now:)

Kip Count - 7 years ago

That would be terrific. Go ahead and do that if you can, and I'll place the order again and include the extra items. Much appreciated!

Lifewithpets - 7 years ago

I can cancel the order and you can reorder if you'd like?

Kip Count - 7 years ago

Hi, when placing the order for the divider, I didn't realize you also sold those filters. I sent a reply email to my order confirmation email. I'd like to add 2 of those mini sponge filters to the order. Let me know if that's possible. Thanks.

Lifewithpets - 7 years ago

Thank you! Yes they're the ones we sell and recommend. We sell the complete filter kits or the whole package including sponge filters, tubing, levers and pump.

Kip Count - 7 years ago

Thank you for the quick reply! yes, I see that you are selling those dividers. I just ordered one. Fantastic! Would one of these sponge filter on each side do the trick?: https://www.amazon.com/XINYOU-XY-2835-Aquarium-Cylinder-Sponge/dp/B005LMQCW2/ref=sr_1_6?ie=UTF8&qid=1501689321&sr=8-6&keywords=aquarium+sponge+filter

Also, I have a years-long established 29 gallon tank. Can I just run the sponge filters in my established tank to establish the bacteria so I don't have to artificially cycle the new 10g betta tank? If so, how long would you suggest running them for before moving them to the betta tank?

Lifewithpets - 7 years ago

We now sell these dividers. We've found filtration on one side does work well however I think it's better to have a small sponge filter on both sides. The heater as long as it is put in the middle of the tank on one side works just fine. http://www.lifewithpetsgci.com/store.html

Do the bettas stay at the divider freaking out> Ive got a fluval that had a divider, and my boys wouldn't even eat because they wanted to fight constantly. I didn't like their set up so I separated them into a couple of community tanks but I would like to have a show Betta tank with four separate areas? Any suggestions?

Lifewithpets - 7 years ago

No, not with our dividers. The bettas rarely see each other and we also sell them without holes. Our dividers will be going on sale at the weekend. http://www.lifewithpetsgci.com/store.html

Hi kids! - 7 years ago

Lifewithpets - 7 years ago

Do you have them in a one gallon together, is the tank divided?

everything and everything - 7 years ago

oh ok few cause. i almost did that i didint want to put my bettas in danher thankyou for your help

everything and everything - 7 years ago

oh ok thankyou im glad i know now well can i atleast put three in a 10 gallen tank or two in a 5 gallen

Lifewithpets - 7 years ago

No, females with fight and possibly kill each other if they are not in larger groups. The fewer you have the higher the aggression level.

everything and everything - 7 years ago

yes your welcome i have a question I have a 5.5 gallon tank I wanted to put two baby female bettas and I want to know if I could also put a couple glow fish in them or like 1 or something

Lifewithpets - 7 years ago

Female bettas need to be in groups of 5 or more and need a minimum of 20 gallons. The tank also needs to be very heavily planted. A 5.5 gallon would be good for a betta and some snails but it's a little too small to add more fish with a betta. Glow fish can also get a little nippy so they're not really suitable for betta fish.

everything and everything - 7 years ago

aww your betta fish are so gorgeous gorgeous

Lifewithpets - 7 years ago

Thank you.

N. Calhoun - 7 years ago

What brand is that sand substrate love? I didn't see it listed in the description. Thanks!!

Lifewithpets - 7 years ago

It's National Geographic sand from Petsmart .

yamaha is daaa best - 8 years ago

i LOVE that tank! my sweet boy lives in a 5.5 gallon tank and the heater and in his tank works suprisingly well! i was wondering if using a fish safe blue light would hurt a betta? its meant for glow fish and its small but i was wondering if it would maybe hurt my betta eyes?

yamaha is daaa best - 8 years ago

+Lifewithpets ok thanks!

Lifewithpets - 8 years ago

Thank you, no it shouldn't be a problem. Most lights now come with a moonlight to mimick the moon. Check out the later video if you'd like. This tank has changed a lot.

Fred Ra, MT-BC - 8 years ago

are you using two pumps (the one you posted in the descriptions) for the sponge filter AND the air-stone?

Lifewithpets - 8 years ago

If you don't need a 4 way valve they also sell 2 way valves.

Lifewithpets - 8 years ago

Ok, I will add them to the description box.

fred ra - 8 years ago

Oooo can you post the links of the supplies too?

Lifewithpets - 8 years ago

We're using one pump for both of them. We use a 4 way outlet so we can run several sponge filters or air stones from the one pump.

marielephant1 - 8 years ago

I watched your DIY tank divider and I loved it! I have three betta fish, and I will be traveling for a month so I am going to have my mom watch my boys. My rose petal (or rose tail) lives in a 10 gallon, so I would love to divide it and add my veil tail to the tank; this will help my mom so she only has to clean two tanks rather than 3 :)

Lifewithpets - 8 years ago

Thanks for watching! I'm glad the video was helpful. I hope it all works out for you.

Lovebetta - 8 years ago

What kind of plants is that the one in the left side. Ty

Lovebetta - 8 years ago

+Lifewithpets ok. Ty I will. I thought it Nubia when it mature. Ty

Lifewithpets - 8 years ago

It's a fake plant and all my Bettas absolutely love it. I've just had a lady today tell me she bought several of these on my recommendation and her Bettas love them. If you want to take a look at it the link to the plant is in the description box.

Javier Frausto - 8 years ago

Hello! I have a question how do you prepair the flowerpots for the water?

Lifewithpets - 8 years ago

I didn't do anything. I planted them and added them to the tank. I also use them as hideaways. My Bettas love them.

Young Tank - 8 years ago

Nice video

Lifewithpets - 8 years ago

Thanks:)

Kathleen S - 8 years ago

Thank you so much for the info. I pick up the tank and supplies tomorrow morning so will add the small sponge filters to the list. Your instructions and videos will make it so much easier. You (and your tanks) are truly inspirational!

Lifewithpets - 8 years ago

Thank you for your kind words:) If you're on Instagram I'd love to see a picture when it's all finished. The link to my Instagram is in the description box.

Kathleen S - 8 years ago

Hello...Will two filters (like yours) on each end of a 20 gallon long tank be sufficient? The tank will be divided into 4 sections. Thank you so much for the video and links. I will be using your design for the dividers. They are the nicest I've seen. Beautiful tank and bettas!

Lifewithpets - 8 years ago

Thank you for watching. You're going to be giving your Bettas a wonderful home. Yes two corner filters one at each end should be sufficient. I would also add two mini sponge filters in the middle sections. They all run on air pumps so it would be easy to set up. The corner filters are good because they have the bio balls, carbon, sponge and a polish pad in them and you can adjust the water flow. The mini sponge filters will add some water movement to the middle sections. For the bio load of 4 Bettas these filters are perfect. If it was for a full 20 gallon tropical set up they're only good for secondary filtration. If you want to take a look at the mini sponges the link to them is in the description box of my latest divided tank video.

Katie Mac Arts - 8 years ago

my betas love their heavily planted 10 gal, my elodea gives them places to rest and helps discourage fin biting. niether of my boys bite and they're both longfinned ♡

Katie Mac Arts - 8 years ago

+Lifewithpets Yeah, nothing's worse than a recurring biter lol

Lifewithpets - 8 years ago

That's great! I have one who still occasionally fin bites. He's the only Betta out of many who's does it. I did find putting that big plant in made a difference but every now and again he will still do it. Thankfully it heals very quickly.

Purplesnowball 13 - 8 years ago

Lifewithpets - 8 years ago

Lol....thank you!

Purplesnowball 13 - 8 years ago

+Lifewithpets It does make you appreciate what other people do for our own entertainment! So thank you for spending so much time on a video! You do a fantastic job!

Lifewithpets - 8 years ago

You're so right! When it comes down to it, it's all about money. Yes, it is a long time for a video...lol! Most of them only take 4-6 hours. I don't know how people do daily vlogs, I could never do that. The editing takes forever!!

Purplesnowball 13 - 8 years ago

+Lifewithpets I cant wait to see it! I am sure it will be awesome :) That is a long time to spend on a video! But I hope it helps a lot of people who may be thinking of buying on of those tanks! I always have thought it is quite interesting how people will always choose the expensive, small, but "cute" option for animal cages. It goes for a lot of animals! I have a rabbit, and the cages they sell at pet stores are NOT suitable for them. Same with hamsters... You could spend $60 on one of those small cages with all the tubes, or go buy a very large bin, and decorate it how you want for so much cheaper! There is always a better option it seems! :)

Lifewithpets - 8 years ago

That's what I hope my video is going to show. You can do a cute finding Dory theme cheaper without buying the Dory tanks! The video will have taken 8-10 hours to make but if it helps save some Bettas it will be worth it!

Purplesnowball 13 - 8 years ago

+Lifewithpets Yay! I feel like decorating a 2.5 gallon aquarium is hard to find on YouTube... So I cant wait to see it! And I know right... :( Its pretty sad. I have seen those kind of themed "tanks" for Finding Dory... But at the same time I understand it, too. When little kids see such cute tank and then they see such cute bettas... Its so tempting! Sadly, betta care is so wrong in pet stores. (like the little papers Petco and PetSmart have... Yikes!)

Lifewithpets - 8 years ago

I used mini pots in a 2.5 gallon and it looked really good. I am working on a video for next week. It's on a 2.5 gallon tank and decorating it! I was horrified by the VERY small tanks being sold for the upcoming movie Finding Dory and I got an idea to do a video on that theme. So watch this space....lol!

Purplesnowball 13 - 8 years ago

+Lifewithpets I have a 2.5 gallon right now, but I feel like my betta is always bored. I think I just need to add some things to it to make it look more realistic and things for him to interact with (like plants... We tried a snail and it didn't work it so well

Lifewithpets - 8 years ago

Thanks! I got a lot of questions about them so I did a video on how I made them, and what I used to help the plants grow. They do look very attractive in the tanks, well at least I think so.....lol!

Greetje Buijert-Nijdam - 8 years ago

nice betta's

Lifewithpets - 8 years ago

Miranda Johnson - 8 years ago

Where do you get your bettas? I have 3; a red veil tail, a blue and white half moon, and a yellow dragon scale

Lifewithpets - 8 years ago

+Miranda Johnson Thanks for watching. I get them from several different places. Petsmart, petco and from breeders.

Ernest Aquatics - 8 years ago

Chris Villa - 8 years ago

wow the plant looks so real!

VillagerSparky - 8 years ago

The red Veiltail Betta looks so vibrant and active. Loving the other one too which I think is a Dumbo Betta?. Lovely tank! More people should watch this video even it if it just for an ideal sized tank to divide.

Lifewithpets - 8 years ago

+VillagerSparky Thank you! Yes he is a dumbo halfmoon Betta.

Shihtzus Caro & Lina - 8 years ago

Sooo lovely fish! The red one is wonderful!

Lifewithpets - 8 years ago

+Fashion Dogs Thank you! He's my eldest Betta. Unfortunately he has a bad habit of chewing his fins.

Amira Quillen - 8 years ago

+Lifewithpets do you have any half moon bettas

Lifewithpets - 8 years ago

+Brooky-Lynn Thanks!

Jack smith - 8 years ago

Wow its so warm over where you are! It snowed earlier today in england although it isnt normal for this time of year. The tanks looking good, im looking forward to getting my betta soon. :) I also have neon tetra fry and platy fry in my tank at the moment.

Lifewithpets - 8 years ago

I look forward to seeing what you get!

Jack smith - 8 years ago

+Lifewithpets Thanks, im going to my lfs this weekend so ill see whats there and choose on the day :)

Lifewithpets - 8 years ago

No problem! I'm sure whatever you get will be great!

Jack smith - 8 years ago

+Lifewithpets I don't even know what im gonna get anymore

Lifewithpets - 8 years ago

+Jack smith I do, if your tank was big enough. If the store will let you try then go for it. Your neons might be an issue, but without trying it there's no way to know for sure. As you know there's never any guarantees with Bettas and especially when you're wanting to put several together. I'm hoping to add 2 more to my group, but I know it's a risk and have room for them if it doesn't work out.

Jack smith - 8 years ago

+Lifewithpets Do you think 6 neons 5 bettas and 2 platies would work then? Id rather have more than one female if I can.

Lifewithpets - 8 years ago

+Jack smith I look forward to seeing what you decide:)

Jack smith - 8 years ago

+Lifewithpets Ill ask and see what they say. My tank is pretty heavily planted, more so than your comunity tank

Lifewithpets - 8 years ago

+Jack smith I don't know if I'd risk it. My tank is 20 gallon and 30 inches long. Also Bettas don't always do too well with neons. You do have the advantage if the fish store already keeps them in a tank together, you'd need a well planted tank, just caves etc is not enough. Your filtration is more than adequate. Would your fish store let you try it and if it didn't work out return the fish?

Jack smith - 8 years ago

+Lifewithpets 15 (2ft long)

Lifewithpets - 8 years ago

+Jack smith How many gallons is your tank?

Jack smith - 8 years ago

+Lifewithpets Just had a look, you have very pretty female bettas. Thinking about it i probably have room for 5 female bettas in my tank. 5 bettas 2 platies and 6 neon tetras? I have an eheim classic 250 canister filter running which is for tanks 30-65 gallons so i could probably overstock a bit? There are lots if hiding spots in my tank too. My lfs keeps their females together in one tank so I could pick out the less agressive ones if that makes any difference. Does that sound alright?

Lifewithpets - 8 years ago

+Jack smith

Jack smith - 8 years ago

+Lifewithpets I don't, I can still view instagram so ill do that for now :) may make an account another time.

Lifewithpets - 8 years ago

Do you have Instagram? If so the link is in the description box to mine. I have videos on there of the girls.

Jack smith - 8 years ago

+Lifewithpets Ahh right, I'll be looking forward to it :)

Lifewithpets - 8 years ago

+Jack smith Yes, I do! I'm planning on doing a video on them. I've already got next weeks video planned so it will be the week after that. It's been very interesting watching their behaviour and how they have made their own territories within the tank.

Jack smith - 8 years ago

+Lifewithpets Do you have female bettas in your comunity right now? id love to see a video with that in ☺

Jack smith - 8 years ago

+Lifewithpets I'll probably just get one then.

Lifewithpets - 8 years ago

I really wouldn't recommend that. I have platies and the Bettas don't bother with them at all. I tried 5 in a 10 gallon and it failed but once I put the 5 in my 20 gallon with the community fish, all was great!

Jack smith - 8 years ago

+Lifewithpets Yeah 1 or 3, I know 5 is recommended but i think it would be fine. I don't think there would be room with my 6 neons and 2 platies. and as most sororities have no other comunity fish i reccon the platies would act as 'fillers' for the other bettas.

Lifewithpets - 8 years ago

Congratulations on going to University. 1-3 females in the same tank?

Jack smith - 8 years ago

+Lifewithpets As im planning to go to university next year i decided against getting rams :( Instead im going to get 1-3 female bettas since they will be easier for my family to look after. Should be getting them on sunday (If my lfs has some in stock)

Jack smith - 8 years ago

+Lifewithpets Yep :)

Lifewithpets - 8 years ago

+Jack smith Orlando? Enjoy!!

HLA KABO - 8 years ago

also is it normal for a small betta to have a big head lol

HLA KABO - 8 years ago

+Lifewithpets like it is a boy but it has no black beard and it has a big head

Lifewithpets - 8 years ago

+HLA KABO Not sure what you mean?

HLA KABO - 8 years ago

beautiful as always and I have a question do u like veiltails

Lifewithpets - 8 years ago

+HLA KABO I do like veil tails but I don't like the habit of them chewing their tails. This is the first veil tail I've had to do it and it drives me crazy because it always looks a mess!
