Where is the drift wood from in the divided tank?

Bury Me in Black - 7 years ago

What's the names of the floating plants you have in the divided betta tank? I'm new to aqua-scaping and they look really nice

Bettas don't do well in tanks with filters that have a strong flow. Not sure why but they do better and prefer very slow water. I think it is too tiring for them.

What you used for the algae my planted tank has the same problem

sorry for your loss
I know what it feels like to lose a fish

jjsinner - 7 years ago

Yay guppies! Such beautiful and gentle little fish. I also have a male betta, he's crimson red. I'm so excited to finally own one, they have great character but recently found he has ich from the pet shop so i'm currently treating him which is a pain :/

T-Zay - 7 years ago

Try getting Indian Amond leaves, I read those are super healthy for betta since they are from environments with wood and dead leaves in the water. They provide all kinds of major and trace nutrients along with immunity support. That's probably why some betta illnesses are so common. It makes sense to replicate the betta's natural environment as much as possible for healthier betta.

I had my betta in a 5 gal with divider like yours but they could still see each other all day and it stressed them out so I have to split them up. I don't think bettas should see each other too often. It takes years off their life.

hi i've recently bought a 22 liter aquarium for my betta fish.
i want to ask you about the filter. i've got a small internal filter but it seems to create too much of a current, even on the lowest setting.
what filter should i use?
thanks!

Watching your fish is very relaxing :)

Also maybe go for a sorority tank :D

Warren Chan - 8 years ago

question how did u get ur bettas to hold still for u to trim their fins?

Creative Pet Keeping - 8 years ago

I used clove oil to anesthetize my fish. Thee dosage is tricky because to much can kill your fish so that has been deterring me from making tutorials on it.

The Inflatable Sea Lion - 8 years ago

I imagine that she slowed down their metabolism with a little bit of clove oil. I could be wrong though.

Gameing Potplaysmc - 8 years ago

Please answer does a male Betta and female Betta have to be the same type to be in the same tank

Creative Pet Keeping - 8 years ago

it's very likely that they will fight. I've pulled it off once but it was a lot of luck. it's best to keep males and females seperate

Reaver1342 - 8 years ago

Bruh, male and female Bettas can't live together for long periods of time, they'll only get together when they want to mate and even then sometimes the two might fight to the death

I'd never heard of trimming damaged fins before, that's interesting!

What do you use to separate your betta tank? I've been planning to do the same with my 10 gallon but I have no clue what to use.
Thank you!

How did you manage to cut there fins.

Tania R. - 8 years ago

I have a question, i have a betta and his tank is a 2.5 with heater and filter, how often do i have to change the water?

Ellen Jarrard - 7 years ago

I'd recommend no more than a 25%-50% water change each week.

Nicole Hitt - 8 years ago

jadyn jones 25 gallons is so wrong 2.5 is the minimum

jadyn jones - 8 years ago

A 2.5 gallon is too small. Betta come from areas where they live in very long streams that go for miles and miles. Maybe you should get a 25 gallon tank

Jack smith - 8 years ago

+Jazmine ThePuppy Yes that is true and I already know this infomation, although what i really meant was that large changes are not so good as they create alot of stress on the fish for a few reasons. The water chemistry will be different enough to stress the fish, which obviously isn't good. When changing such a large amout of water the temperature will change also stressing the fish and swimming in 10% water is also stressful. Doing the water change over several days is better, so really you aren't doing doing 90% changes if they are spread out over several days a week. Although I think a 90% change of water per week is overkill, unless your tank is really overstocked. As you say everyone has their own methods. When i said cycle I didn't mean the nitrogen cycle, I meant fast changes, i just didn't word it very well.

Jazmine ThePuppy - 8 years ago

That is incorrect. There is little to no bacteria free floating in the water; it's only present in the filters and in lower numbers on substrate, decorations, and glass. Doing a large water change is absolutely harmless and is actually good and helps keep the water parameters more even, so the nitrates don't build up to 20 PPM or higher and drop to 0. Instead it never goes much above 10 PPM. it's better for your fishs' health and growth to do more water changes. Everyone has different methods of doing things but saying that it will disrupt the nitrogen cycle is incorrect.

Solid Gold on YouTube aims for 90% water changes every 5 days. I personally aim for 90% total (meaning I do smaller water changes every few days) a week.

Jack smith - 8 years ago

+Jazmine ThePuppy The advice for the betta is good, although 90% a week for goldfish? Doing more than 60% a week isnt good because it can mess with the cycle of the fishtank. I've had my 2 goldfish for 13 years and i only ever do 30% every 2/3 weeks.

Tania R. - 8 years ago

+Jazmine ThePuppy okay thank you so much! ❤️

Jazmine ThePuppy - 8 years ago

You should change the water at least once a week. My goldfish tank gets a total of 90% water changed every week but for a betta you only need to change 25-50% a week. You should aim for closer to 25% water changes twice a week as 2.5 gallons is a pretty small tank and toxins build up faster :)

Ichigo10469 - 8 years ago

And the bettas need stiller currents, especially the one in the guppy tank. Their tails are probably getting scruffy from stress.

Jessi Vietz - 8 years ago

I'm wanting to start a live plant tank soon. How can I get less expensive plants?

Creative Pet Keeping - 8 years ago

You can get plants that spread/breed very quickly like Jungle Van.. all you need is on or two clumps of plant and then they start to spread all over your tank. Duckweed also spreads quite quickly.

Moon Cat - 8 years ago

How do you keep your guppy population under control while having males and females together? I want to be able to do that too, but I know that they produce a lot of fry and I don't have anywhere to put or sell them.

Creative Pet Keeping - 8 years ago

I give some of my fish away to friends and my betta helps by eating a few as well. My tiger barbs in another tank also eat some of the fry.

I like your tank a lot, I love how your light is closer to the front of the tank to showcase your fish.

Creative Pet Keeping - 8 years ago

Ive been experimenting with the placement of aquarium lights to see what looks good. Its cool to move the lights around and how it affects how the tank looks.

alexis loves madelaine - 8 years ago

+Creative Pet Keeping Ok :) sorry to bug you
Thanks for replying

Creative Pet Keeping - 8 years ago

The one in the 20 gallon is the "Demon Betta", the red one is Drogon, the white one that died was Targaryen. I don't have a name for the blue one thats next to the red on in the 5 gal though.

Stumpy Moose - 8 years ago

I have a 1 yr old male betta and he's been sick for so long, I wanna help him but don't know how.

This website can help you identify the issue your betta has and it lists ways to treat it accordingly: http://www.bettatalk.com/betta_diseases.htm

Spencer Steffes - 8 years ago

Love to see you uploading again but I have a question. I am thinking of putting a bubble wall in my 10 gallon and was wondering if the betta be ok.

Creative Pet Keeping - 8 years ago

It might be ok as long as the bubbles are very small and don't move the water around a lot. You can get a valve for the air pump that adjusts the air flow and start it off on low and increase it from there. Take it slow and observe how your betta reacts.

Joseph Borges - 8 years ago

Yay! I love your work! I'm sorry about the betta

These are my favorite videos! could you go into detail about the fin trimming? :) so sorry about your white betta, but its great everyone else is thriving!

Creative Pet Keeping - 8 years ago

The DIYFISHKEEPER made a video about that but I think I can also cover the topic.

WinkWonk - 8 years ago

Im sorry I hope you feel better soon But I have a question, What type of betta should I get? I like bigger tails. I want something unusual too. Have a good day lady.

Creative Pet Keeping - 8 years ago

4 Gallon sounds like a good size :D

WinkWonk - 8 years ago

+Aadhira Arun Thank you so much

WinkWonk - 8 years ago

+Creative Pet Keeping Would a 4 gallon be okay? Thank you guys so much. Sounds perfect for me. ｡^‿^｡

Creative Pet Keeping - 8 years ago

Dumbo bettas are a good suggestion as they are the newest fancy betta type.

Aadhira Arun - 8 years ago

I would recommend the dumbo ear ones. They don't have as long of tails but their fins on the side are long and beautiful. Definitely what you are looking for on the uniqueness side

Ashley Fenimore - 8 years ago

+Creative Pet Keeping Great and i know what you mean. I started out in the hobby wanting just fish but now i want to create a little part or nature in my fishtank too

Creative Pet Keeping - 8 years ago

Thank you. I have always been so interested in aquascaping. There are so many beautiful tanks out there :D
