Eric Mezenberg - 7 years ago

BetterBetta - 7 years ago

+Eric Mezenberg That's an excellent tank for your betta :)

Too many decorations for my taste

Dingo von Doggington - 7 years ago

I got this but the heater doesn't tell me what temperature it is heating the water too. Help!

Dingo von Doggington - 7 years ago

Ok I just realised that it doesn't light up. I dunno why but the design made me think it lights up. So yaaay there is now no more risk of me setting it way too hot! Now my fish tank can be bootiful and not be a fish deathtrap! Good thing I didn't get the fish yet

BetterBetta - 7 years ago

I find having the red dial in the center is 80F, at least in my experience with two of these heaters/tanks. I also have a thermometer that I use to ensure that it works correctly. You pretty much have to rely on a thermometer to tell you what it's heating the water to, and then adjust the knob accordingly to get it to the ideal temperature. But, long story short, I find having the arrow in the center is 80F. Hope this helps :)

Kevin Keener - 7 years ago

How is that heater holding up?

BetterBetta - 7 years ago

It's still working great! Stays at a stable 80F.

I actually just bought the 29 gallon version, but they're essentially the same. I dislike how the LED power cord goes under and out, so I drilled a hole for it to run straight through the lid. Yours definitely looks better than mine!

MasterOfSteam - 7 years ago

i just got the same tank. im creating a community tank. what temperature would you recomend to set the heater to?

my filter won't work..

Lola Rew - 7 years ago

+gabrlelle elias You may have to run water on the impeller for it to unlock.

Lola Rew - 7 years ago

+gabrlelle elias Hey, do you still have your manual? You'll have to troubleshoot it, might be the impeller.

gabrlelle elias - 7 years ago

Lola Rew mine won't work either, did you find out why It wasn't working?

Do you have a snapchat

BetterBetta - 7 years ago

Nope, I have an Instagram though, but that's it. :)

Ashley Garcia - 7 years ago

How long should you wait before you add fish to a new tank ?? Thank you !

TheBSideDJ - 7 years ago

it's called "maturing" your tank... it depends on the filter you use... 7 to 14 days filtering will do the job, just with one little fish. One fish in clear water will make some ammonia (in little amounts) which will active the biological filter in that tie. Take a biological filter that can handle the stock of fish you want to keep... Change enough water the first 2 weeks to keep ammonia level low. After that period, add more fish. If you want to play safe : quarantaine your fish first in a seperate (matured) tank for observation on health and possible parasites or infections.

Ashley Garcia - 7 years ago

BetterBetta ok thank you so much ❤️

BetterBetta - 7 years ago

It depends whether you choose to do a fish-in cycle or fishless cycle. As I choose fish-in, I can add my fish in the tank after 24 hours of having it running. You just have to be careful of ammonia spikes if you choose fish-in. :)

Ashley Garcia - 7 years ago

Where did you purchase the yellow turtle decoration

Ashley Garcia - 7 years ago

BetterBetta thank you I will be purchasing it . I will be starting my fish tank soon too

BetterBetta - 7 years ago

PetSmart! :)

Daniella Michelle - 7 years ago

I'm super excited because I'm going to get a 20gal. Currently, I have a 20 long tank that my hamster is, but I'm going to get a detolf cabinet to put him and my other hamster in and clean the 20g out to use as a community fish tank. I think I want to get some guppies, but I'm still thinking about it, as I will have to put one of my Bettas into the tank.

BetterBetta - 7 years ago

Definitely sounds like a great- and exciting- plan! :)

Aussie_bassen08 - 7 years ago

Nice tank wow u talk fast

BetterBetta - 7 years ago

+REPTILES101 Thanks! Not usually haha. I film the entire video and edit the clips together before doing my voiceover, so I try to fit in whatever I have to say into the assigned clips- and sometimes I have to talk quite fast to get it all in! I don't normally talk this fast though :)

Robert Kowalke - 7 years ago

Another good video ;)

BetterBetta - 7 years ago

Thank you :)

Adrian Lastname - 7 years ago

Great guide. Very well explained.

Adrian Lastname - 7 years ago

BetterBetta I have the 5.5 Gallon tank. Everything is pretty much the same but the filter. How far up should I fill the water? I see that you filled your water and submerging most of your filter in the water. Is the water going to leak into the motor of the filter and damage it? Or should water level be below the two clips?

BetterBetta - 7 years ago

+Adrian Lastname Thank you! :)

roy marquez - 7 years ago

Can't you put a betta fish in the tank.

BetterBetta - 7 years ago

I can, but I'm choosing not to :)

Lovebetta - 7 years ago

Very nice. I wonder how you clean your decor, I am having hard time to remove the algae in artificial plants that's why I use live plants more. Ty

BetterBetta - 7 years ago

+Lovebetta Thanks! I like to soak my ornaments in really hot water for a short time, and it helps loosed up the algae. I haven't been able to get it completely off some ornaments, it works great for plants. :)

Your Missing Sock - 7 years ago

So I apologize for asking something that doesn't really have anything to do with the video, but I'm quite worried for my Betta. So I've had him for about a week now and his eating patterns have been really weird. He doesn't completely eat his pellets (I would say "nibbles" on them) and if he does manage to eat it completely, he ends up regurgitating it a little later. He also frequently goes to the top to 'get air', but other than that he SEEMS normal. He moves around a lot/is active, his fins are beautiful, scales aren't spiky, doesn't seem to breathe hard, and sleeps a lot too. Any help would be appreciated (:

BetterBetta - 7 years ago

+Your Missing Sock Not a bother at all! If he's relatively new and wasn't eating before, it could just be some stress from moving. If he's not eating and was eating done before, it could be something else. He seems otherwise healthy. If his rubbing ornaments is quite frantic, it could be because something is irritating him- but if he just brushes against them a lot, that's fine. I hope your betta starts to eat soon!

Your Missing Sock - 7 years ago

Oh and another thing I recently noticed is that he seems to "rub" against the wall and just swim realllyyy close to it. Sorry for the bother

Alexis Pomponio - 7 years ago

can i completely change my betta's decor and ornaments?

Alexis Pomponio - 7 years ago

thanks

BetterBetta - 7 years ago

+Alexis_L_32_ P I personally have in my 5 gallon (and under) betta tanks, but I haven't done that in my 20. I did purchase a bacteria supplement, though, so if you are worried, you can get one too to replace the bacteria that may have been removed from changing the ornaments. :)
