Poor fish, the filter takes up half the tank. It's round so it will affect its vision and she didn't acclamate

pandu gita - 6 years ago

You're pretty, i like you ^^

I like how your bata fish looks cute

That Horse Girl 02 - 6 years ago

I know this video was made awhile ago and not trying to be mean because I know we all start somewhere just some constructive criticism, but some bits and pieces of this video were incorrect. 1. You never want to use a rounded/circular tank because it makes it hard for the fish to swim and ruins their eye sight. 2. With the thing she said about the sand, whether you put the sand in before or after the water it's going to be cloudy no matter what. You have to let your filter run until the water is clear. 3. Also from what I saw you didn't acclimate your betta for at least an hour so he could get used to the temperature.

I have this exact same tank

Hi there! I will be getting a betta fish soon, I’m also getting the same heater as you. Do I put the heater underneath the gravel?

Creatures 'n Creations - 6 years ago

Megan G it depends on what kind of heater you buy, usually the box shows how to install it

I live in tropical climate (7°S and 400 M above sea level ) the air temp here is range from 16°C ( 60°F) - 30°C ( 86°F ) but i think the water is way colder than the air temp should i put on a heater on my betta tank ?? (Srry for bad english )

Nikkita Maxwell - 6 years ago

I think you should get a heater just in case anyway. I live in Australia it’s summer here and even when I had no heater it was too cold. Lucky I had no fish in the tank yet :D

Creatures 'n Creations - 6 years ago

Max Krisna I would get a thermometer for your tank and if it's too cold I would recommend getting a heater that has a built in temperature gauge

Where did you get your heater?:)

Creatures 'n Creations - 6 years ago

I got mine from either petco or petsmart but I would recommend getting one that shows you if it is working or not (I changed mine shortly after this video because it stopped working)

Ava Midgley - 6 years ago

So do neon tetras need the same conditions??

cheesytoast93 Gaming - 6 years ago

Just suggesting you remove that sharp plastic lotus, maybe pick up some silk plants which are much easier on their fins or even some real plants like water lettuce or anubius(sp?). Also be careful with that salt, dont wanna burn the little guy.

The heater should not be under the gravel

Lunar lens that kind of aquarium salt is different than the kind you use in saltwater tanks. If you read the box it specifically says to use in freshwater, it helps with keeping down harmful bacteria

I have a betta in 5.5 Gallon tank and the filter is too fast any filter recommendations

Fishing Tv - 6 years ago

Creatures 'n Creations thank you so much I will do that

Creatures 'n Creations - 6 years ago

Fins and Gills you can put a bio media sponge over the filter outtake you'll have to wash it from time to time but it will disperse the water more

I know this is wrong,but My friends had their betta in about a half -0.7 gallon jar with a big thing of bamboo in it and it wasn't heated or filtered and the betta lived for 8 or 9 years!!!

I Might be getting a 50 gallon fish tank, how many betta fish should I get? And what gender? I really want a male but the females are pretty to..ugh I'm so confused.. tips are welcomed to for caring for a tank

Creatures 'n Creations - 6 years ago

Morgan Monnolly if you're getting a 50G I wouldn't get Betta fish, I would get some community fish that work together like angles, some danios, etc, I have a 65G and those are some of the fish I have in there

Creative Rocket Studios - 6 years ago

I remember my only betta, he was named Nemo and had red, blue, and fiusha colors, he last three years, yes, I should have take care of him more, but pet stores here gave us terrible tips and wrong facts about the fish, that's why we should get information before buying any thing.

Jolo Grande - 6 years ago

ok please dont just get a betta because you watched this video, this video is full of false facts and some of them can be lethal to your betta so please just do the reaserch. i am not hating on the youruber she seems sweet and shes trying her best

Creatures 'n Creations - 6 years ago

1. There is no sufficient evidence to prove that round tanks are bad for them. Most of these 'facts' are from people who anthropomorphize their fish. 2. Yes, you should always cycle your tank, although if you have the resources and tests kits it is okay to place a fish into water that they have been properly acclimated too and that has the correct water parameters (thus the reason why I put warnings at the end of the video). 3. I waited for the salt to completely dissolve before I put him in (although I should have been more clear about that in the video)~ Thank you for the feed back! And don't worry I know you're not trying to hate, I get it :) ~sorry for the long message!~

Jolo Grande - 6 years ago

Creatures 'n Creations 1. you used a round tank which will effect the fishs vision, and you didn't let the tank cycle which takes about 3 weeks and you didn't let the salt dissolve which can burn the fish. but overall you seem very sweet and i am not hating on you at all <3 (but the facts you put on the screen were all fine)

Creatures 'n Creations - 6 years ago

Can you tell me what facts are wrong? Because I fact checked them multiple times. Thanks :)

you have to buy a water testing kit, I have a video that talks about them a little bit its called 'How to reduce Ammonia & Nitrite in a Fish tank,' in the video it shows the test kit I use :)

Horse Lover - 6 years ago

Is it bad I don't have a heater in my tank? I have had my fish for 2 months and he seems to be fine.

Creatures 'n Creations - 6 years ago

Those are pretty cool too :)

Horse Lover - 6 years ago

Also I was just at pet smart and I almost bought that rock decoration

Horse Lover - 6 years ago

Creatures 'n Creations yes he is a beta... I will probably soon get him one now that I have really watched a lot of videos and they all say they should have a heater. But also, my cousins have a beta as well and they had always had their beta for years without a heater. Thanks for the advice. I will listen to the pro's now.

Creatures 'n Creations - 6 years ago

First, Is he a betta? (just checking), if he is check his water temperature and it should never be below 77, if it is I would get a heater because it can be hard on their bodies

You shouldn't put neons with a betta they will pick at it's fins

Camille L - 6 years ago

For everyone saying it's too small, this tank is 2.65 gallons. The minimum for a betta is 2.5gal. It's fine, it's not optimal, but it's fine.

Beboping Bettas - 6 years ago

There's no room for him to swim, with all the decor, and filter

Creatures 'n Creations - 6 years ago

Camille L he now has a 4 gallon tank! Thank you for knowing the facts :)x

Necy Banks - 6 years ago

That's the same fish I have I was always trying to figure out the breed of it but now I do

WoLfGlam - 6 years ago

Nooo don't even try putting water first and then sand bad bad idea you can put a plate and pour the water slowly onto the plate that way the water won't disturb the substrate

Sofia Misty - 6 years ago

I wouldn't recommend anything smaller than one gallon. My mother has had a betta in a one gallon fish tank with no decorations to crowd its' swimming space, and the fish lived for 4 years with no heater, just water changes with our well water (at room temp.), and he was perfectly happy and healthy.

Now, I can completely understand using necessary dechlorinator, ammonia reducer, ect., depending on your water source and if it's necessary for your fish, But my Mom's betta was clear proof that not all betta need all these chemicals.. And let's not forget: you put too much of these chemicals in your water and that alone with KILL your fish.

erik perez - 6 years ago

thanks for the answer. I needed it really helped

Ella Mirandilla - 6 years ago

hey is there any chance you remember where you got your tank?

Creatures 'n Creations - 6 years ago

Ella Mirandilla I bought the tank from Petco! But I don't think they sell it online, I'm pretty sure it's only in certain stores

Zoë - 6 years ago

Tip-You don't always need a heater

Erik Perez - 6 years ago

After it but it isn't attacking and and it's just running away help plz

Creatures 'n Creations - 6 years ago

If their fins are long like Nova's, you likely have a male. Females are typically smaller and with shorter fins. You really shouldn't keep other fish with a male betta unless you're experienced. Especially not another betta

Erik Perez - 6 years ago

Can someone tell me if this is a female or maley blue Betta keeps going after i

Camille L - 6 years ago

That tank is 2.65 gallons, which is fine for a betta. Anything smaller and it's not good

Thirupathi priyadharshan U - 6 years ago

kyle wuvswubs - 7 years ago

ok i hate to be "that guy but i just want to point out 3 or so things being that round tanks are bad for a fishes vision and your flow on your filter is to much, you really need a sponge filter bettas are weak swimmers and last of all you didn't acclimate him

Georgia Conte - 6 years ago

Random May acclimating is basically getting your fish used to the temperature of the tank first can do this by sitting the bag in the water

Random May - 6 years ago

kyle wuvswubs what does acclimate mean thank you

Iris Gladeborn - 6 years ago

Creatures 'n Creations it's also the water conditions

kyle wuvswubs - 7 years ago

ok cool thanks for the reply.

Creatures 'n Creations - 7 years ago

We used a black foam block that's normally used for filter media to break up the water flow. I checked the levels and conditions before placing him into the tank

Can i put a male and a fimale together

TheAilaS - 7 years ago

Luis Mario Lopez Monzon I wouldnt put male and femeae together. Females can be agressive as well. I had a male and a female together and the female was bitting his fins änd the next day he was death. Now I have a dumbo betta in my 3.7gallon tank with 2 ghost shrimps. They are friends and my aquarium is soclean. Today I just ordered a new 5g Fluvac spec aquarium for them.

nikky50000 - 7 years ago

Kackbrühwürfel Bettas can go in community tanks depending on the beta as long as they're not aggressive and have plenty of space they do fine. But never put 2 male Bettas together in rare cases it works but most of the time it doesn't.

Kackbrühwürfel - 7 years ago

Luis Mario Lopez Monzon. Yes.The only thing you should not do is putting Bettas in a community tank or 2 or more males together ^^

Angelica Marie - 7 years ago

Miranda Random - 7 years ago

Did you add the aquarium salt straight into the tank or did you mix it into the tank water on a separate cup first? Nova is so pretty and I wouldn't want him to get burns from the salt :)

Ribbonoose Hood - 6 years ago

Salt helps with the pH I believe. This isn't sea salt

Animal Journey - 6 years ago

Betta fish are fresh water, not salt. Right?

Creatures 'n Creations - 7 years ago

Miranda Random I would have to watch the video again but usually I put the salt into the filter so it's not directly into the tank but usually I dissolve it before I put it in

Marlon Quintana-Nieto - 7 years ago

How much aquarium salt should I put in my 10gallon tank?

Creatures 'n Creations - 7 years ago

Marlon Quintana 1/2 tsp per gallon :)

MAX'SDAD CHRIS - 7 years ago

where can i buy that fish tank?

Creatures 'n Creations - 7 years ago

Kay Skywalker - 7 years ago

the filter cartidge is the reason it won't cycle. When you remove the cartridge from the filter, you take away all that good bacteria with it. I'm wondering if you find just a sponge from a sponge filter, I wonder if the tank would actually cycle. I'm in the process of cycling a sponge in 3 gallons of water in a bucket and it appears to be working.

Ethan Plunkett - 7 years ago

Beta fish do not need a filter and can be changed once a week without one, they don't like a strong current because their not strong swimmers so if you have a filter at all it shouldn't be powerful

Creatures 'n Creations - 7 years ago

Ethan Plunkett Ethan Plunkett Yes they should have a filter and if they don't they should have a water change every two days at the least, but I do agree that the filter should create a low current

Don't use nets it bad for your fishes fins

Chelsea Jewel - 6 years ago

Dale Ella Erica Zapanta no it doesn't. It can rip their scales off from them flopping about. The way to minimize this would be to just soak the net for like ten minutes before use to soften the fabric. Dry nets can cause harm for real. If you want to reduce stress just use a cup or your hand to handle moving the fish.

Dale Ella Erica Zapanta - 7 years ago

Jami Carolan nets are not really that harmful for the fish,nets are actually good when your scooping the betta out in the water,it lessen the stress.

there are actually some occasions where tap water isn't unhealthy for fish, normally you can take a sample of your water to PetSmart to see they should tell you whether you need conditioner or not

Creatures 'n Creations - 7 years ago

Unironic tap water in general usually always has chlorine so it's just best to use conditioner anyway :)

BnarC COL - 7 years ago

For the sault it's 1 Tbsp per 5 gallon... When u said that it was too much, it looked just about right amount for a 2.5 (1/2 tbsp)

jolly rocks - 7 years ago

I hv a 1 gallon betta tank.... I don't hv filter so in how many days should I change water

Sorrybutitsart - 7 years ago

mahua bhattacharyya you shouldn't have a beta in less than 2.5 gallons. With no filter you should do daily water changes of 75%. This will shock your fish. In a 5 gallon weekly water changes are fine. I'd also get a water testing kit just to keep track of everything with your fish in a tank so small. They have like $30 starting ones. Strips don't work.

Creatures 'n Creations - 7 years ago

You should do one every other day, I would really recommend getting a filter :/

Bettas should not be together other than a sorority but that should only be attempted by experienced individuals. Also a 1.5 gallon tank is too small for any fish as well, I'm assuming you mean a common or comet goldfish and they need 75+ gallons best suited for a pond. The rule for single tails is generally 40 gallons per each fish. They can with good care grow more than a foot long. You should just do a fish in cycle with your fish (do not keep the goldfish and betta together) in the 10 gallon you get and return or rehome the goldfish asap. In a ten gallon you have very few options for betta tankmates, neon tetras are not suitable at all because they need at least a 20 long and a school of at least 5!

Lexi Lou It takes around 3-6 weeks for a tank to fully cycle (sometimes longer or shorter depending on filtration & tank size) I would wait for the ten gallon tank to introduce other fish if you plan on moving your male Betta into that tank. A .5 gallon tank is too small to place any other fish besides the Betta (it's even too small for one male Betta and that might be why he killed the female because male betta's are territorial and it's just plainly not enough space). When you have your cycled ten gallon tank, get a school of Neon tetras first then after a few days place your Betta in and see how your Betta handles it, most of the time the Betta will leave the little fish alone but other times they are too territorial and may kill the little fish. It's somewhat trial and error. I hope this helps!

Could you share the technical characteristics of both your filter and heater? How many kilowatts per hour does each one consume?

Creatures 'n Creations - 7 years ago

I am not sure with this tank because the filter actually broke a week or so after I created this video so now I have a new tank for Nova actually :/

2V MSP if u can’t afford it don’t have a fish and besides it’s only like 20 Dollars

We're not all rich enough to buy a 10 gallon tank for one fish. I had a beta fish in a two gallon and he lived for 4 years and was happy! I now have another going into his 3rd year:-)

Tyler Kihut I'm sure she did her research based on how much she bought for it

2.5 gallons are the minimum for a betta.

Sorrybutitsart Yes, but they do fine in a 2.5 gallon tank and above.

Sorrybutitsart - 7 years ago

Connor Zerka beta fish are extremely territorial and thrive in larger tanks. This is a good way to get a suicide jumping Beta fish

BL E EP That tank size is fine for the size of the fish. Any less than I'd be concerned.

Julia C - 7 years ago

Did u acclimate him before you put him in?

Creatures 'n Creations - 7 years ago

Julia C Yes I did but it didn't help much because after I put him in the tank the filter broke and I had to buy a whole new tank.... it was sad lol

Mr. Purple - 7 years ago

Aside from that your betta is beautiful!! You really seem to know what you're doing :)

Creatures 'n Creations - 7 years ago

Thank You!

Mr. Purple - 7 years ago

Small tanks still go through cycles as long as they have suitable surface area or bio-media in your filter or any place of good flow, all tanks will cycle unless you are constantly washing off all the beneficial bacteria in your aquarium. You just need to be sure to do lots of frequent water changes in a tank that small to prevent build up of ammonia and nitrites and nitrates that your nitrates may not be able to handle. (I suggest getting a diff filter that can handle bio filtration better) Also I've never used aquarium salt as a routine thing because I don't really see the direct benefits but I've learned that you should completely dissolve the crystals in water because the solid crystals can burn your fish.

Chantal Kowalczyk - 6 years ago

Anyway you shouldn't buy round tank. So your explains are useless. (you can buy filter apart). By the ways you didn't want problems but you put fish in round shape aquarium. Congratulation -.-

Creatures 'n Creations - 7 years ago

Also I place the salt in the filter (I only put a tiny amount of small crystals) this helps prevent fungus & parasites

Creatures 'n Creations - 7 years ago

Mr. Purple The filter in this tank broke so I had to buy a whole new tank anyway, I got one with a really nice filter because I didn't want problems. Thank you for helping!
