How to Set Up a New Betta Fish Tank (Episode 3)

Setting up a Betta fish tank. For this Betta fish tank we chose the 5.5 gallon tank from the thrift store. We've added Fluval stratum as substrate and some basic live plants. These live plants need low light for them to thrive.

I’ve used Fluval Stratum for my tank also but I’m having a problem. Every time I move any of the substrate or squeeze out my sponge filter the tank fills up with black clouds from the fluval stratum. I rinsed it the same way as in this video.
Lifewithpets
Lifewithpets - 7 years ago
The filters shouldn't be squeezed out into the aquarium. Take a separate just to clean the filter. The stratum will cause cloudiness if moved but it usually settle quickly.

Does it have to be a red check valve? I have one that says In;Out but not the red one. I also have NO clue how things connect and have no clue if I'm missing something. (I don't have the sponge filter yet but I tried to see if I could connect everything and I can't connect the airline tubing to the check valve I have nor the air pump.) The airline tubing could be too small but I got the small air pump and tubing. So shouldn't it fit?

After adding the water in, how long did it take for it to clear up?

Not long, an hour maybe.

Hi! I've come from watching your diy sponge filter and it didn't mention anything about a check valve. Does it not apply to the homemade one or is it something that the air pump comes with? It also didn't mention a flow valve
Lifewithpets
Lifewithpets - 7 years ago
Thank for watching! Yes, a check valve is needed so the water can't flow back into the air pump. The lever is only needed if you are adding two filters to an air pump or to adjust the flow if it's too strong.

Hi Sheila! Thank you so much for making this series. I've wanted to add a betta to my family, but wanted to make sure I knew exactly how to care for them optimally. For the plants, would you add a root tab when you're setting up the tank or would you do this once the tank was cycled? Thank you!
Lifewithpets
Lifewithpets - 7 years ago
Thank you. Yes you can add root tabs for the plants while it’s cycling.

I have pretty much the exact same filter kit you guys use (bought it from the life with pets website :D). So my questions are, is there such a thing as too low flow through the sponge filter (it does seem to make some weird gurgling sounds if I close the valve after a certain point)? If so, is there a way to know when I have "enough"? Should I be worried about it creating too much disturbance on the surface of water and stressin out my betta?

Thanks again for this awesome series. I wish I'd seen it before buying my betta and tank but I make sure to link it to any of my friends that are thinkin of starting a betta tank (which I may have nudged them in the direction of doing haha).

Edit: I should probably specify that I have a lightly planted 2.5 gallon tank and he's the only fish in there.
Lifewithpets
Lifewithpets - 7 years ago
Thank you! I don't think you can go too low but you do need to make sure it's filtering. I don't think the water movement stresses them as long as it's not too strong.

Please read this! My betta's tail is black with fin rot. He barely has any tail left. He doesn't eat and hardly moves. He dwells in a 2.5 gallon tank, but I was gonna transfer him to a spare ten gallon until he got sick. It is cycled. His current tank is at 77 degrees. I feed him a variety of bloodworms, pellets, dalphina, and mysis shrimp. He has silk plants and a Filter run on an air pump. He has an Indian almond lead in there as well. I've treated him with aquarium salt, medicine all fish keepers swear it will help, and dipped his tail in hydrogen peroxide. He has not shown any sign of improvement! Please help!

I saw this video and decided to try the LED light you show in it.

WOW! I bought the Nicrew LED Aquarium light you have here in this video for my 20 gallon planted tank. I have to say it is so much better than the Aqueon florescent light I originally bought for the tank. This LED is at least 30% brighter. My tank now has a white look to it, a natural look. The Aqueon gave my tank a yellowish tint to the water. So happy with this LED light!

I also must say that the price is very cheap in my opinion compare to others I saw on Amazon. I highly recommend this LED light.

Awesome tutorial!

So when are you guys going to sell aquarium lids for standard 2.5 gallon rectangular tanks?

Most standard 2.5 gallon tanks just come with one solid piece of glass with a handle, no hinge.

Unless you know how to cut glass or pay someone to cut it for you, The glass top really doesn't sit right on the tank. Especially if you have a heater and/or HOB filter.

Thank you. We have no plans at the moment but are looking into it for the future.

Would a hang on back filter that filters 30 gallons of water per hour stress a betta fish in a 10 gallon tank?
I am planning on buying a filter later and I found the series and got confused if I should just choose a sponge filter and an air pump instead. Any advise is very much appreciated. Thanks!
Miehos D. Silverwall

A 30 gallon filter would be too strong for a betta fish. I would go with a small hob or preferably a sponge filter.

i set up a 30 gallon shrimp breeding tank with an aqua scape for about 80 dollars (not including the shrimp which cost me about 80 dollars) which would have cost me about 450 dollars if i got a new tank and went with the rocks not on sale and with the fluval stratum not on sale and i got the tank 40 dollars when a new one cost 384 dollars.

60 liters is big enough however I'd recommend 5 females minimum. Less than 5 rarely get on. Make sure the tank is very heavily planted.

You don't have to rinse Stratum if you don't want to. It just makes the tank cloudy for a bit if you don't rinse it.
Also, you can get super glue in a gel formula. Much easier for using with plants than the liquid formula.

I have a question about the NICREW light. Do you think I'd be alright buying the 11-19 version of it for my 10gal? I know it wouldn't fit but I think I'd be able to sit it on the lid of the tank or even secure it in another way due to the shelving my tank is on. It's just that the next version up is 30 dollars and I'm on a tight budget so if I could save that money that for plants and stuff that would be nice.
SubparPanda

Super glue is best, just make sure its aquarium safe.
Grimalkin Felidae
Grimalkin Felidae - 7 years ago
Use silicone or aquarium-safe super glue. Hot glue will not hold well underwater.
radblook
radblook - 7 years ago
I'd recommend using aquarium safe super glue (there are several brands you can choose, but it's probably best to look into it on forums). It also depends on what you're going to use the glue for. Using hot glue for plants isn't recommended because heating the roots can kill the plant, and with things like corals it would take time for the glue to dry before putting them back in the water.
TheGolemHunter
TheGolemHunter - 7 years ago
Shana Batt Look at the package, if its non-toxic, it is safe. Just beware it does not hold well under water :)

Is it ok to keep a female betta and a male betta in a divided tank? Which are the problems if not?
T Buzz
T Buzz - 7 years ago
I would not keep them in a divided tank. The male and female both produce hormones that would drive each other crazy. Your female will eventually become egg bound and that could harm her health. Only keep males with males, or females with females. Never mix males and females :)
TheGolemHunter
TheGolemHunter - 7 years ago
SooNny Well it is ok but if they see each other, they would want to breed and they cant so maybe can stress them out. Make sure they also have at least 2.5 gallons to each.
EstraV
EstraV - 7 years ago
SooNny
Hi,
I've read that putting a male and female in the same tank despite being devided will put the female in a constant of having eggs which isn't healthy for her. And for the male, the hormones from being in close proximity with a female will stress him out.

They use it to kill parasites or algae.

Lifewithpets Im pretty sure my source is very safe. One of the biggest aquarium supplier or market in Canada and i have bought from them before. Thanks for the reply. I think a good wash will do me fine.

TheGolemHunter yes it's very inexpensive
Lifewithpets

Some people will hydrogen peroxide their plants if they're coming from a source they're not sure of. It kills algae on the plants and any bugs/pest that may have hitchiked.
TheGolemHunter

cynthia dameron Oh. Thanks :) so it cost just a few dollars? I live in Canada so i can only go to dollar tree or dollarama.

They are safe as long as the main ingredient is cyanoacrylate.

@lifewithpets i agree with the light! its much cheaper and works the same as the famous brand lights. i have both the expensive brand, finnex fugeray and the cheap one like you have but longer the nicrew light. both are bright and good for planted tanks.

Make sure the fake plants are soft so it won't hurt your betta fish.

just a little note but make sure to get silk plants instead of plastic especially if you want a long finned betta! They easily tear their fins on plastic plants, had my veiltail get some serious tears in his fins :(
