I like having fish that are happy and healthy. And then die of old age. Just knowing they had a greatest life a fish could have makes me feel better after they die.

Lisa Ramsey - 7 years ago

This is a super cool and easily accomplished diy. Thank you for sharing. Gonna give it a try.

"It's mega expensive to cut glass" A glass cutting tool only costs like $10 dollars how is that expensive and also its silicone not "glue and stuff" but overall good video.

Jackson Harrison - 7 years ago

why is no one mentioning this tank is way to small. people think bettas can live in tiny tanks, which they can but if you want an active betta or for it to have optimal fin-colorage/plumage you need 10 gall. its not that much more monry, they sell them for 15 at walmart.

I used a plastic one now I'm in a vacation,god knows what's gonna happen,,,,,I'm goooooo worried

BirdieBronze - 7 years ago

Cristiano Ronaldo Fans aww. Are you back? Are your fishes ok? I sure hope so.

Stephanie Miller - 9 years ago

where did you get the metal pieces? what are they?

Cristiano Ronaldo Fans - 7 years ago

Stephanie Miller take a air pump tube keep one end in side the glass and with the other end suck the air out of it the water will go in it automatically

Got2LoveFish - 9 years ago

Here is a video that shows it, stat at 0:35 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2ji3HxTNhj4

+Got2LoveFish thanks, i think this is so neat!i have a 360 marina aquarium and i would love to do this.Did you ever do the video to show how you got the water inside the vase?

Got2LoveFish - 9 years ago

The metal pieces were just pieces of metal from the hardware store. They were rods of metal that I bent in order to fit the tank.

Simge d - 9 years ago

What's the use of this ?

Got2LoveFish - 9 years ago

+Simge d Basically just to look cool, so that the fish can swim above the normal water level.

irrescene - 9 years ago

can you use a steal frame and cover on silicon so the metal never makes contact with the water ???

Got2LoveFish - 9 years ago

+irrescene That might work but I would be careful that the silicon does not rub off or anything and also make sure it is cured before using it.

Kaylee Watson - 10 years ago

Have you done a video on how to fill it? I tried to look for one, but i couldn't find any. If you have not, can you PLEASE make a video? I would love to do this for my fish but i am confused on how to fill the vase up without the tank over-flowing. By the way i love your fish!

Kaylee Watson - 10 years ago

That sounds great lol thanks for at least trying!

Got2LoveFish - 10 years ago

I tried to do one for this weeks water change but it did not come out good so I will try again next week!!!

Kaylee Watson - 10 years ago

Okay! Thanks so much!

Got2LoveFish - 10 years ago

Thanks, and I have done water change videos with me filling it in it but I will do a video just on it for you, here is the most recent water change video: Doing Water Changes on all my Fish Tanks this tank starts at 0:36, but I will make a video just on it

Michael&Michael - 10 years ago

I was just wondering can you put a mystery snail with a male betta fish?

Got2LoveFish - 10 years ago

yeah, I have done that before, the snail has protection form the betta if he does want to attack but the betta should mostly just be fine with a snail

prithvi shetty - 10 years ago

U get a tank like that for 90 re or under 2 dollars

Odile Jean Pierre - 10 years ago

DIY how to build the vase

Odile Jean Pierre - 10 years ago

How many gallon is your tank. Where did you get it. How much you paid for it

Got2LoveFish - 10 years ago

The tank is 2.5 gallons from petsmart, many stores have them though, the brand is Great Value, and then the vase adds 1/2 gallon so it is 3 gallons all together. The tank cost $15 and the stuff for the tower was under $10

tye44 - 10 years ago

i love this set up and it seems your betta does too :)

Got2LoveFish - 10 years ago

He loves to sleep in the top of the tower! He is there pretty much every night.

Rene Strezenicky - 10 years ago

Is that a 5gal?

Got2LoveFish - 10 years ago

no its a 2.5 gallon but with the tower it makes it 3 gallons

Madi P - 10 years ago

Thats awesome.

spacebug30 - 10 years ago

Maybe a little advice: Betta's (like any other fish) require a filter and (like any other tropical fish) a heater
idk if you have a heat since it could be an undertank one, but i don't see a filter....

But very fun idea though!!

Madi P - 9 years ago

I moved my betta to a ten gallon with a heater and filter, soon after this. But my cat ate him...

Got2LoveFish - 10 years ago

My bettas are doing perfectly fine because of the region I live in, the tank does not get too cold and I do do water changes every week and now all the tanks have live plants for natural filtration

Madi P - 10 years ago

I have a successful Betta tank without a heater and a filter, I do water changes a lot and the tank stays the perfect temperature.

CheyPaws - 10 years ago

You are very creative

CheyPaws - 10 years ago

yeah...

Got2LoveFish - 10 years ago

oh gosh, sorry ):

CheyPaws - 10 years ago

No problem, TONS of fish died. I only have my frog and 2 goldfish

Got2LoveFish - 10 years ago

thanks

Ann Taylor - 10 years ago

Tip: Beta's are air breathers, which I'm sure you know, my tip would be to leave a little air at the top for your Beta once he gets up there.

Got2LoveFish - 9 years ago

The oxygen is in the water as well as the air so the oxygen transfer between water and air should be enough for a week because oxygen is getting in the water from the surface of the tank. As long as you do water changes weekly it should be fine.

irrescene - 9 years ago

+Ann Taylor wouldn't the oxygen run out of that little gap on the tower ??
i say its better to have the tower for display and stick to your betta breathing where he does regularly

Got2LoveFish - 10 years ago

ok cool, cant wait to see, I am glad I have inspired you!

Ann Taylor - 10 years ago

I went today and found, what I think is, the perfect vase. I'll send you a pic when I get it finished. Thanks for the inspiration!

Got2LoveFish - 10 years ago

a cylinder vase is perfect, with metal rods to hold it up

Ann Taylor - 10 years ago

Yeah I love the idea, although I can't seem to get anything to work up side down.

Got2LoveFish - 10 years ago

I know bettas are air breathers and have been doing that recently, even though it is not as astatically pleasing, and he has ben spending a whole lot more time up there

Anita Lee-Yu - 11 years ago

very creative and money saving..thnx for sharing!!!

Got2LoveFish - 11 years ago

It will work for the time being, I have thought about that, but it is not coverd in water it gets splashed every once in a great wile so it will hold for some time

Got2LoveFish - 11 years ago

thx

Fish Tank Girl - 11 years ago

That is really cool!

Got2LoveFish - 11 years ago

thank you (: I like people like you

Yootoobstuff101 - 11 years ago

Zinger why do u criticize other people's vids All the free kin time she is better fish owner than ull ever be

Got2LoveFish - 11 years ago

I am not getting one, he is fine, I do a water change every week, I can care for him.

Blake Lemke - 11 years ago

You need a filter

Got2LoveFish - 11 years ago

bettas do fine with out filters if you clean the tank once a week to keep the amonia down and they dont need the surface movement either becouse they have an extra organ which makes it so they can breath air from the surface. If you know how to care for a betta with out a filter they will still live really long.

Damian Menchaca - 11 years ago

wy don't have a filter ?

Got2LoveFish - 11 years ago

As along as you have the water level abouve the opening in the vase the water will stay in the vase because it cant get air in to fill the space the water is taking up, same as if you pull a cup out of a bucket of water upside down the water stays in until the opening of the cup comes above the surface of the water so that are can replace the water.

Got2LoveFish - 11 years ago

hermesbowser11 - 11 years ago

wpuldnt the water flood into the tank?

Bbosela - 11 years ago

you guys should have a look at my fish videos you may enjoy any advice or even comments of fish youd like to see in my tank is appreciated. nice tank btw I intend to get a couple bettas,

Chris Smith - 11 years ago

Heey guys I got new vids of my bettas plzz watch and sub

Got2LoveFish - 11 years ago

I will do a video on it this weekend, but I put a syphen hose part up to the top of the vase and suck out the air while filling the tank up with water. again Video on this this weekent!

Vanessa Lopez - 11 years ago

how do you feel the vase up?

Crazyhermitcrab - 11 years ago

Need 80 F heat,80 % humidity. Tons of no painted shells. Fresh and salt water. 6 inh deep playsand tank. Etc in a 10 gallon you can have 2 crabs. They are fun and think you should have some watch my videos to learn about them. They live up to 70 years

Crazyhermitcrab - 11 years ago

Crabs need a 10 gallon tank and actually require a lot of care,they need 80 h

Got2LoveFish - 11 years ago

Lowes, really all of those kind of supplies stores should have tubing and metal rods, but you have to go some were else for the vase if you don't have one already, I think

Got2LoveFish - 11 years ago

thx

Got2LoveFish - 11 years ago

all my tanks get cleaned once a week and no there are no filter in my betta tanks.

pets101pets - 11 years ago

By the way the tower is extremely cool! I love it so amazing

pets101pets - 11 years ago

Do you have a filter for your beta? How often do you clean his tank?

pets101pets - 11 years ago

You can use any size tank you want, the question is how many crabs you want. They can live as long as bettas with proper care

Astrid Gootner - 11 years ago

Where did you get all of the supplies like lows or home depo?

Got2LoveFish - 11 years ago

ya that seems like a good decision

Tono M - 11 years ago

thx

Tono M - 11 years ago

i got 2 platies and 4 neon tetras

Got2LoveFish - 11 years ago

how big of a tank do they need? and how long do they live?

50. comment for How to: Open Bottom Fish Tank/ Betta Tower

Got2LoveFish - 11 years ago

like some sort of ring?

Got2LoveFish - 11 years ago

and what theturtleguy22 said is good to

Got2LoveFish - 11 years ago

sorry I did not reply, I was gone, I would probably recommend neon tetras or female guppies if you did not get anything yet.

sydneys dreamTV - 11 years ago

You should get a hermit crab their cute

Crazyhermitcrab - 11 years ago

Can you use shower curation things

Tono M - 11 years ago
