Clément Mahé - 7 years ago

The most basic thing if you care about the fish is to put lives plants and to repect the 3 week ( at least ) tank cycling. Plastic plants don't do shit in the water cycle and can be harmfull for the fish, especially for bettas.

Really u guys use gravel??? U guys sure just use a sand

I had buy that heater but I don't think it worked cause the water still felt the same to me so I throw it away and didn't bother buying a other one I got mad that I waste that money that

Mark - 7 years ago

Tirsa Perez no your dumb that's why, you probably felt the tank only after 10 minutes.. it takes at least 30-1 hour.. Mine didn't feel like it was. Until a few hours

Tirsa Perez - 7 years ago

+Brianna Harter (star and fox) cause of all this crazy thoughts that had went threw our mind that took us long to know nests that it just wasn't working it was our first time buying that n didn't know where the receipt was so we was like fuck it n throw it away

why didn't you return it to get your money back?

XxGamerProxX56 - 7 years ago

that's to big Bettas like smaller places go for like a one gallon like I have for my female Betta

Clorox Bleach - 7 years ago

dude im not mad at you but thats not ok thank you for bigger tank

Hayden Cooper V - 7 years ago

are you kidding? LOL

Andrew Yong - 7 years ago

you have to stop being defensive. betta don't like smaller containers. they can survive in it, and if you do water changes once a day/once every two days to keep the ammonia down, they can be happy. however, they do a lot better in bigger tanks, and I've seen the happiest betta in 10G planted tanks.

Haley Lampost - 7 years ago

XxGamerProxX56 Bertas DO not like small Tanks. Bigger THE better

scotty hood - 7 years ago

completely false. yes bettas originally come from small streams but they swim miles every day. they need swimming space so if your fish is even still alive get it a bigger tank

XxGamerProxX56 - 7 years ago

It's a 1/2 gallon tank and she's happy

XxGamerProxX56 - 7 years ago

Also your welcome for the 3 gallon thing

XxGamerProxX56 - 7 years ago

Don't tell me what to do she's happy in where she is for god's sake I'm tired of this crap just stop replying and a I will do what my betta likes and I know that just because it's a female it doesn't mean it needs a shorter space some other guy said my betta is a boy so for god's sake just STOP!!!

Alexis Wilson - 7 years ago

that's a myth!!! they live in rice patties miles long!!!!

Ana Puiu - 7 years ago

+XxGamerProxX56 just coz it's a female doesn't mean it needs a smaller space. But thank you for getting a 3 gallon. Your betta will be very happy with the extra space.

Brianna Harter - 7 years ago

the only thing they don't like about big tanks is when it's to deep or they aren't given enough cover.bettas like to have things to hide in since they come from warm shallow waters which normally has dense cover.

+Abe G. How

Thanos - 7 years ago

ur mest up

Freshwater tanks - 7 years ago

It kind of is but its fine I think 3 gallon for every betta

Ana Puiu - 7 years ago

+XxGamerProxX56 it is recommended to keep bettas in a 2.5 MINIMUM. 1 gal is good for temporary but you need to clean it every two days or it could become toxic. He might be SURVIVING but he is not THRIVING. In the wild they live in rice paddies and their territory is up to three feet square and pretty deep for a fish its size. I'm telling you this so your betta can live as long as possible and stay happy. I'm NOT blaming you, I've seen so many ppl do this because of pet store misinformation. Hope you and your betta have a happy time together!

WARNING TO ANYONE WATCHING THIS VIDEO. Do NOT buy any of the Tetra heaters, especially the HT10 as there have been multiple failures where it ended up cooking and killing peoples fish. The manufacturer even admitted the defect. They claimed its been fixed, but we have people as recently as 2015 still having the issue. You can find the complaints on Amazon, there are hundreds of people who had their fish killed by these heaters. There are other brands that are cheaper and more effective.

Sugar KittyCat - 8 years ago

This Is Maybe 2 dumb question but I am trying to learn. I just got my first 10g fish tank. Does all fish need a heater or specific fish need a heater ? How do you choose the right heater for your tank?

Kaelee McCoy - 7 years ago

Don't forget to cycle it

Scott E Jackson - 8 years ago

+Sugar KittyCat Gold fish and other cold water fish don't need a heater. Bettas in this size of a tank would need a heater as most "Tropical" fish would.

FeatherBelly - 8 years ago

+Sugar KittyCat
depends on the fish.
do research on what type of fish you want.
just to name a few, bettas, guppies, mollies, angel fish, neon tetras and tiger barbs are all types of fish that need a heater.
gold fish however dont, but you could only house one goldfish in a 10 gallon. 20 gallons is recommended though.

Julie Williams - 8 years ago

Pretty good

Scott E Jackson - 8 years ago

+Julie Williams Thanks Julie!

CrestFallenMoon - 8 years ago

male betas can live together as long as the tank is large enough (55 gallon) in small tanks two male betas can't live because they don't have enough space for territories. Also try not to pick aggressive betas and use more peaceful ones (they might still fight but since they have their space, they can retreat and claim a territory

Scott E Jackson - 8 years ago

+CrestFallenMoon Thanks for the information. I hope it helps someone. I personally have not had good luck with bettas in that large of a tank.

2.5 gallons is the minimum tank size to keep a betta happy
Pristene water conditions , 76 to 82 degree F temperature and a gentle flowing but effective filter . No tankmates in a tank that size!
But lots of human attention
The betta will quickly learn to trust it's caretaker and provide hours of enjoyment for both pet and fishkeeper

I put my betta in a 2.5 gallon tank that I bought from goodwill for $7. Not all tanks you'll buy from goodwill will be good, I was pretty lucky. I went to pet smart and bought gravel, 2 fake plants, water conditioner, food pellets and a moss ball. My fish couldn't be any happier. Should I buy some real plants?

YungHo - 8 years ago

+Shiki Nozomu Dont fill up the tank full of decorations.. You also have gravel which also takes up swimming space. I personally would never put a fish in a tank smaller than 5 gallons but meh.
Live plants are better over all for the tank rather than fake ones, also the plastic ones might rip the bettas tails so..

مريوم كشخه - 8 years ago

baieligh Keane - 8 years ago

And kitten she clearly cares about her fish since she's asking questions and got him a appropriate sized tank with plants etc. there is no reason to be mean to her.

baieligh Keane - 8 years ago

You're a good fish mom! A moss ball is great for betas, provides healthy bacteria for them, adds more air in the water, and also is a great snack! It's not necessary for anymore plants but would add more bacteria for them and more of a variety of snacks for your beta. If you do you should probably take out a plastic plant so it's not to crowded in your tank. Also to prevent infected fish bladder you should add a heater. Stay rad.

+Kittenbumble I'm just starting out and you're telling me I should be arrested? I understand my betta needs more space, but you don't have to be a complete bitch about it. Go fuck yourself.

Kittenbumble - 8 years ago

+Shiki Nozomu In my country you would be arrested. A fish needs to be able to swim ten times the length of it's adult body length as a minimum and the tank width shouldn't be less than half of the length. The minimum standard for welfare here is 54 liters for a Betta. And all tanks need a filter.
If you buy a fish to use as an ornament then shrug your shoulders when they die in under 2 years when it should live to 7 and go " oh well it's only a fish" you would be banned from owning any pet here. If you give a shit at all please buy a bigger tank and a filter, and google ammonia poisoning in fish while you are at it.

Get some Java Fern easy to grow no special lights and you attach it to rocks, wood or decorations. Also fish don't like to eat it.

emilhoov06 aj - 9 years ago

Guys... The people saying that bettas don't need a lot of room... Lol. How would you like living in a bowl?? They should have 2.5 gallons... Not "20cm". If you think bettas want to live in a tiny space, your wrong. I bought a 2.5 gallon tank for $45 brand new, came with a filter, water conditioner, rocks and food. I also bought a heater separately, it was so inexpensive. You don't need to go buy a brand new 10 gallon. Also bettas don't need real plants, they actually don't even need any. I gave my betta a few decorations to hide in, but the people saying "get them real plants".... In real life bettas live in mud puddles. I'm not even joking. They do. And when the mud puddles dry up, so do they. It's the way it works. Also this person didn't even put a heater in.. These are tropical fish. Seriously. They need a heater especially if your house is cold.

Emily Derkatz Cool but i got mine for free

FishFish - 6 years ago

I got a used 10 gallon for $5 at a garage sale.. Bought a heater for $45 bucks, a bag of natural gravel for $20 and got some substrate from my uncle and some plants and a log from him, he then bought a nice L.E.D light for me from PetSmart, added it all with a thermometer that I got for $5, and then I bought a Fluval filter that was $25 bucks on sale.. Got some guppies (2 died, they were about 3 years old, I have 2 males left and 2 females) , a ghost shrimp and 2 snails (one is dead now, it was old..) from my school for free and bam.. Done.
Now that I realize how much I spent, I think it's crazy that I am not broke..
(if I added up all the things not including the fish/snails/shrimp and plants I got for free, I would have spent $175 Canadian.)

Dalton Gregory - 6 years ago

the bare minimum for any type of betta is a 2.5 gallon tank, nothing smaller.

FishFish - 6 years ago

I'm not saying that they'll die in a 2.5/5 gallon, but its not fair, and not humane for them.. Especially without a filter and water conditioner and proper betta food.. Those betta cubes they sell aren't a good idea, since they usually don't have a filter or a heater.. Betta fish are tropical fish and need water around 75F..

FishFish - 6 years ago

Lmao bettas can't live in a 2.5 gallon, they need at least 5 gallons for one female or one male alone! Nothing can or should live in anything under 5 gallons! A 10 gallon should be the only "small" tank that exists.. Bettas need at least a 5 gallon alone with a heater, filter, gravel or sand, plants, and water conditioner! A thermomter too. I suggest watching Taylor Nicole Dean's videos about Betta care..

actually shes not bettas live longer healthier lives with heaters and filters then in bowls.in bowls it's a few months to 2 years maybe 3 but with space,a heater and a filter they can live 4 to 9 years.I had a betta that lived in a 3.5 gallon with heater and filter and it lived to be 7 years old.

Navjot Singh - 9 years ago

I was reading an article few days back which described filters are not suitable for betta fish. Regular water change is what is required. Betta can easily be stressed out and eventually die if water has current, produced by the filter. Please suggest how far is this true. I have a 60 liters Marina tropical tank. The tank not being very big, I can not keep gold fish. I may keep a betta or fish which like to be in groups like guppies, tetra and mollies..

Brianna Harter - 9 years ago

strong filters are bad it's best to use a above the gravel system that is low flow.every fish has a flow rate and filter system that works best for the fish.fish that are found in rivers need a high flow (basically a gushing water)and fish that are found in pounds or streams need medium(regular) and fish that are found in pools like bettas need a low flow (trickling system).the filter does more then oxygenate it also keeps the beneficial bacteria that eat fish waste and keeps the water quietly.

JERRYR708 - 9 years ago

10 gallon tank divided for 5 gallons each. Gravel and river rock drops it down to 4 1/2 gallons each. Bridge, trees, plastic plants, filter tubes, heater etc brings it to about 4 gallons each. Still better than living in a cup of water.

PurdyBear1 - 9 years ago

Thanks for this tutorial. I was looking for a tank size that was a lot easier to keep then our current ones ( 2ft x 2ft x 3ft and a 5ft x 2ft x 2 ft (yep as big as a bath)). At least now I know what size to get, I just need to decided on the fish.

Girmies27 - 9 years ago

It's a 10 gallon split in two

Juliana Garber - 9 years ago

You have a nice set-up for your split tank, however note that plastic plants can snag and tear betta fish tails. I would suggest silk plants that are large so they have a hiding and sleeping place and won´t damage their delicate fins. Also for the right half i would add either a decor that has a hiding place or cluster more of the plants together to create one. Rather than that I betyour new bettas will be very happy :)

Shu - 9 years ago

Plastic plants bad bad bad yep yep very bad

FishFish - 6 years ago

Plastic plants should only be used in goldfish tanks, since goldfish eat live plants. For bettas, live plants are recommended since they don't usually eat them, and they won't tear their fins on plastic plants. Silk ones can be used I suppose. I have plastic plants in my goldfish aquarium only because live plants won't survive in there..

Emma Notman - 8 years ago

+kieras&hannahsthingsx plastic plants are not ideal for bettas.

kieras&hannahsthingsx - 8 years ago

my fish have a selection of plastic plants they love them and love to go in and out of the plants take a look on any professional goldfish site and they will recommend plastic plants ;)

Amit A - 9 years ago

Which filter did you use? I also want that kind of filter which does not create current coz bettas like still water.

CL0WN FAC3 - 9 years ago

Sponge filters.

FlamerzZz - 9 years ago

the divider is kinda bulky......my place they sells those almost transparent ones.

Sinnipop Lolligag - 9 years ago

+audrey lee No. Regardless, to give your fish the best livelihood. Get a solid, non-see through divider. They could care less if they could see each other-- they're enemies. They probably flare up enough in their own reflections. Rather be safe than sorry, they say.

audrey lee - 9 years ago

You can use transparent dividers provided that your betta are not overly aggressive, or by planting close to the divider on both sides. If your betta are constantly flaring however, or become stressed then you probably need to consider a mesh option or carding them. I used clear perspex dividers (they had holes in them for water flow) which were good with my 4 males at the time. The mesh ones are fine but not as sturdy.

Ronilo Bermudo - 9 years ago

Transparent dividers should not be used. They can still see each other through it. Or so my pet shop said.

Carbon filters are a waste of money they do nothing for the waste in your tank

Chad Fitzgerald - 9 years ago

Not true. They provide chemical filtration as well as absorbing nitrogen based materials like waste. Although, low quality carbon media will go bad pretty quickly.. roughly 3-4 weeks. However other higher quality brands provide this benefit of filtration for up to 4 months!

Sponge filters/undergravel filters provide great aeration of the tank and biofiltration, however they don't do a ~~really~~ great job at removing waste particles or large debree of any kind. For a betta though, this is the best kind of filter.

PurdyBear1 - 9 years ago

Plastic plants are fine as long as they are specialised aquarium plants. The only down side is that they have to be cleaned regularly or the algae etc turns the plants dark brown. We've kept tropical fish for a good 10 years and found no problem with glass aquariums nor aquarium plastic plants.

Ronilo Bermudo - 9 years ago

Heather - 10 years ago

bettas don't want to get away thought because they are trying to keep their territory

Heather - 10 years ago

But too much 'excitement' ie having to be territorial 24/7 is not good for it

Reinara - 10 years ago

Like Cassandra said, it's actually good for the Betta fish to have excitement. So long as the tank isn't so small that the Bettas cannot hide without seeing each other, there shouldn't be a problem. I had a Betta who wasn't very active and acted kind of...mopey. Once I got a larger tank, put a divider in and put another Betta on the other side, he was much more active. They live to "protect their territory". It's natural.

Cassandra Grace - 10 years ago

They love to flare it makes them happy and excites them, the tank is big enough they can get away if they want. I have had two bettas in a tank just like that and they are the happiest fish I know. I do however have some plants between them so can have some privacy. They LIKE to see each other.

Heather - 10 years ago

this very is true my betta gets angry and aggressive just looking at his own reflection then he gets tired and stressed even the ones in the shop get stressed and deseases because they are left flairing which takes a lot of effort.

If your house stays above 70 degrees F all the time, then you probably won't need a heater. Though I think keeping the tank between 75 and 80 degrees is the best for bettas.

Fox Ears Art - 10 years ago

All bettas fight so to keep females from fighting, you'd have to get 5 or more females for what's called a sorority then the aggression would be evened out some. However, there is a change one could still pick on another or be bullied so to speak.

crazycatlady39 - 10 years ago

They make connectors for airline tubing. It's a little valve that has a stem like the airstone, but on each side. You just insert it into each of the airline tubing ends you're trying to connect-the air goes right through it. They usually come in a baggie of several and are cheap.

I'm not sure if anyone answered your question nor if you are still wondering, but it is dangerous to have a male and female even when split because the female may become egg bound.

i've had 5 crowntail male bettas in a 55 gallon tank for 3 years. They flare at each other occasionally, but never really go at it. they swim past each other all the times, without fear. there were cardinal tetras, corydoras, and ram cichlids. there is a big piece of driftwood with lots of live plants and large stones. give them a community. better yet, give them an ecosystem. they'll be too happy to fight. just dont put them in a small tank with nothing in it. "idle mind breeds contempt."

Izzythaemogangsta - 10 years ago

Izzythaemogangsta - 10 years ago

Yes that's exactly right, they display them in the same manner here as well. Unfortunately keeping them in this manner is highly stressful, if not downright lethal. They almost always die in a few months or less when kept in aquaria where they can see each other, get ready for one of your bettas to die soon. Please, do some research on bettas, before you decide to torture any more fish to death.

LLMyoutube - 11 years ago

Also plastic plants are known to rip fins so I advise silk plants because ripped fins encourage fin rot.

LLMyoutube - 11 years ago

It's a nice setup although the filter isn't that awesome and the heater could be a better model. I recommend a HOB (hang over back) filter or at least a sponge filter for your aquarium. The only thing an under gravel filter does is suck the excrement and detritus in the tank to the bottom and let it sit there. Also I've had that heater in the back before and mine really didn't work. :/ The temperature kept swinging. And adjustable heater is much better. I also recommend a digital thermometer.

nice set up . but i prefer natural plants cause are more benefitial to keep a good quality water , that filter i guess is Great cause doesn't create too much current , bettas comes froms quiet water likes small lakes , 5 gallons for each betta i thing is better than 2 galon bowl But , I prefer 10 gallons for one betta , you can put more plants , and the fish will be more happy , those fish likes to explore so 10 gallons are the minimun Required

The minimum gallons for a betta is 10 gallons. You're a monster. And a lot of plants is required. They are shy and aggressive creatures. -from a betta breeder

Well done girl, nice one i can see you loving doing this well done..............

Tymira Smith - 11 years ago

yes. Right now I have a ten gallon divided. right now I'm running a single power filter and I hate it. I find it doesn't effectively filver the other side of the tank, and I use the same divider. I'm actually going to go and get the filter she's using. I wouldn't want anything more powerful because the fish could get stuck to the tube of a power filter. seen it happen. so, in short, yes, two low power filters with gentle currents are necessary in a divided tank.

Thanks for the video! I have two male bettas, and have been thinking of doing a divided tank, but I had no idea where to start. So this was very informative and helpful! :)

do u need to filters?

Eternal Skyy Costumes - 11 years ago

I dont know if filtered water is good for bettas..... I use sink water with de chlorination because the minerals are needed for the fish, or at least what I read online. XD That's a good question to bring up!

I had a bubbler and I had the exact same tank but it was fine I had it for about two years I liked it I just didnt have room for it anymore so I sold it to a girl who had been saving up for one and it had the bubbler and everything gravel a pump a thing for fish to hide in I mean EVERYTHING in it.

lonewolf2545 - 11 years ago

I've always wondered if the two males would get over agitated by being able to see each other and get sick or too tired? Does anybody know the answer to this? Kinda like how a male will get too tired from looking at himself in a mirror.

Fish and Fluff - 11 years ago

sand it better for betta's and those marina lights r very bright but r really bad about going out not due to long life but short out on me oh and undergravel filters r not for new owners and I own 3 male bettas together

kingwithabrokencrown - 11 years ago

a buddy of mine works at a petstore and they sell those 2 bulb fluorescent light tank hoods and alot of ppl were complaining both bulbs being on were to bright and instead of haveing just one on,he told them as long as the bulbs stayd dry to go over the bulbs with a blue sharpie marker which added a slight blue dimmer light,everybody thats did that so far likes it.

Earthling1984 - 11 years ago

you should put on some other filter for mechanical filtration, but the under gravel filter is just great for bio-filtration.

FollowOtherness - 11 years ago

Bettas are actually pretty good fish for doing a fish in filter cycle! You definitely need to watch your parameters daily, and do regular water changes to keep the ammonia and nitrites controlled until your BB have the time to fully become established.

Uhm... SHE needs a life? She's helping people learn how to set up a tank properly, she's teaching and doing something she loves... you're a little dickhead bitching about it on facebook. Do you even have fish? Why the fuck are you watching this video? Go get a fucking life.

Idonttrustthatshit - 11 years ago

Betta's can swallow air bubbles and hurt their stomachs. But most filters use small bubblers because it helps filter the water faster.

Fish and Fluff - 11 years ago

Female betta can be keep together though but you must have a group of 3 or 5 cause you can get some that will spare with each other and with 4 you would have a 1 on 1 fight but they form group you will have the occasional chase but not often bettas also do well with neon tetra just get more than 3.

Xenya Vasquez - 11 years ago

how do you clean the gravel and little toys and everything ?

cevencity - 11 years ago

i would get a walmart brand airpump and get rid of the tetra air pump. they haave never made a decent air pump or filter ever. other things tetra makes are better. trust me change the air pump and you will see what i am talking about.

Bettas really don't need a filter if you clean the tank.

Your going to want an outlet with more outlets

AcidicAngel666 - 11 years ago

You need more than 2 females or they fight. You need a minimum group of 5 to spread the aggression. Also please learn to spell... I could hardly understand that :/

AcidicAngel666 - 11 years ago

No your very wrong there, you cycle the tank for 2-3 months, 10 gallon is fine for 2 male betta's, divided of course, so that's another point your wrong on. Undergravel filter work perfectly fine thank you, I've had one myself. You don't need an air stone, none of my fish tanks have Air Stones in them.

AcidicAngel666 - 11 years ago

I've got clear perspex in mine and I've had no problems with them smacking against it. They don't even bother each other even when they do see each other.

jake huber - 11 years ago

you need to read up on beta fish you can put betta fish together. but you need at least a 20 gallon tank and their has to be lots and lots of plant decor

98CHICALINDA - 11 years ago

Thank you so much very helpful and where did you get the blue plant.

MrAceFab - 11 years ago

plants ? i only c PVC plastic .......

CatEyedFancy - 11 years ago

They actually don't have to be kept alone... you can put them in larger tanks with other fish. Just not other bettas, and no fish that are too bright and aggressive or fish that will nip at their long, beautiful fins. Mind you, each betta's temperament is slightly different. My betta is fine in a tank with some larger, passive tetras.

Jaymie Aguilera - 11 years ago

Why are all the plants boys? lol Just kidding I am a dork...sorry...as you were lol

sooo.... you just contradicted yourself. Way to go, grammarless idiot.

Avalonian Principles - 11 years ago

No shit sherlock.

PartAwesome - 11 years ago

Congratulations. But if two male betta can see each other, they are going to stress themselves out trying to get to each other.

Avalonian Principles - 11 years ago

Nope, I had so many fish and not even 1 did that.

PartAwesome - 11 years ago

actually, that's pretty accurate. But as the poster said, the screen isn't clear. However, your grammar is the stupidest I've ever seen.

Avalonian Principles - 11 years ago

Lol, that's the most stupidest thing I ever heard about fish.

Tran_MD410 - 11 years ago

you should try to use real plants next time, the plastic ones can cut your betta's tail or fins and it helps remove the waste that your betta's will be exchanging

i hear bettas are abused most of the stores like in small dirt cup and water

my.lean - 12 years ago

could you use sand instead of gravel?

Scott E Jackson - 12 years ago

The screen is not clear plastic. It is translucent enough to let light through but that is it. I have had no problems with the screen and the fish are thriving in the tank. Thanks for bringing up the thought.

No. - 12 years ago

your not suppose to have a clear screen they will smack against the screen till they die

Scott E Jackson - 12 years ago

Not a chance. The divider is very durable and the fish aren't that strong. So unless you are putting piranha or some other toothy fish - you don't have a worry.

Gambit58 - 12 years ago

Olga Amador - 12 years ago

It doesn't surprise me at all that people can be so pathetic, I enjoyed your video and found it very helpful, I have a male and a female in two separate bowls and want to buy them a larger tank, I didn't know about the underwater filter, love it. Thank you, I hope you are able to ignore the lesser beings.

TheCheese909 - 12 years ago

Nice video, though you do have to make sure the divider is in place- bettas if agressive enough can push past it.. Also, the tank isn't really planty enough, you should have silk plants, Bettas tails are very sensitive and can easily be ripped by plastic plants, they do much better with silk ones. I know all my boys (8 bettas all in separate tanks) have silk plants, they love to sit on them and in them, so it just makes it easier.. Or you can use all live plants if you know how to care for them.
