Hey Alexandra, could you tell me a little bit more about those 2 filters? Where did you get them and how do they work? Thanks :)

Will G - 7 years ago

How did you make the dividers?

Will G - 7 years ago

if I get 3 females will they fight I don't want to divide

SohiHien - 7 years ago

You need more then three. You need at least five to make a proper sorority and they should have a 10 gallon or larger tank. Less then five will likely make one of them being picked on so much it could die. You need 5 or more bettas to spread out the aggression.

Alexandras Pets - 7 years ago

monizk - no, the females usually dont fight as long as you keep them in a pretty big space! :)

Giovanni Perri - 7 years ago

could I put my school of 8 great whites in there would they fit I think so like if you agree

Aldrine Cantrell - 7 years ago

Kenneth Reyes - 8 years ago

Im gonna be using screen tank divider and not sponge dividers like the one your using is because just think of it. What kind of harmful bacteria can thrive in there

Alexandras Pets - 7 years ago

Kenneth Reyes - actually, filter cartridges is made with good bacteria so there is nothing in it who can harm the water =)

Katrine A - 8 years ago

This is beautiful! Do you use CO2 systems to keep your plants alive?

Abigail - 8 years ago

Do those dividers work? I was thinking of this as a divider and was wondering if it works to keep them from fighting

Tropical_Papi - 8 years ago

Ok great tank but can you answer the common question that a lot of comments seem to have? Where did you get this tank? and how did you set up the dividers? We aspiring betta enthusiasts want to have a good set up too!! help us!

Tropical_Papi - 8 years ago

+Alexandras Pets thank you for the generous reply. best of luck in the horseworld!

Alexandras Pets - 8 years ago

hi there! im not very active on this channel anymore so thats why i dont answer comments. i dont do fish-keeping anymore as well, unfortunately. i stepped into the horseworld instead :P but to answer your questions: the tank i got in this video was handmade and ordered by my own wished size. the background and the lanp that seems to fit the aquarium is baught in a petshop online so they didnt come with the aquarium. to divide the aquarium i used black filter cartridgepads that you can buy in most aquariumshops or any show that holds pond-care. they come in large sizes pads, you usually order them in different sizes and thickness. i recommend 1.5 or 2 cm in thickness to stabilize the pad. the good thing about using this material as dividers is that you dont need glue or anything else. just cut out the size you want att press it to place between the front and the back wall of the tank! bury the bottom in the sand for extra stabilizing. im sure you guys can find this material on ebay! try search for "filter cartridge pad" or something like that. thank you all for your amazingly kind comments! :D <3

What do you use as a divider?

anfearspuinse - 8 years ago

Where did you find a tank with these dimensions? I've wanted to do a divided tank like this but can't find one the right size :(

Alexandras Pets - 7 years ago

anfearspuinse - hi! i ordered this tank from a glass master here in sweden! :D

ShadowKittyKat Thesmolbean - 8 years ago

custom tank, I think

Sylvia Bond - 8 years ago

where did you get this aquarium is 100 cm long, 30 cm high and 25 cm deep.

Ryan Duminiet - 8 years ago

She got it custom made.

maéré slater - 8 years ago

pretty good idea, easy way to divide a tank price less ;-) ;-)

Alexandras Pets - 7 years ago

Thashka Ranasinghe - 8 years ago

I love your wall paper..
Its beautiful.. The set up of the tank just compliment that corner so well. & the colour contrast, really brings out n brighten that area space.

Alexandras Pets - 7 years ago

Jenna Padrta - hi, and thanks! i got it in a petshop. im sure you can find it on some website as well! :D

Oscar Hernandez - 8 years ago

What filters did you use. I'm planning on getting a 10 gallon tank and dividing it into 4 section. I wanted to know if I needed 2 filters and 2 heaters like you.

Thashka Ranasinghe - 8 years ago

+The Diabetic's Journal
I too have 2bettas that i have kept in a bowl thats 1g which blew bubble nest the 1st day he was in there.. Of cos bigger is better, with any fish. Bubble nest can b they r "comfortable" in the tank to breed/not.
Dnt compare to dogs wag their tail bc they happy..
Like the tank, but.. Does any1 find her voice annoying?

The Diabetic's Journal - 8 years ago

+TheAmazingNicke That's not accurate. Bettas will build bubble nests when they want to spawn. It has nothing to do with them being happy or not. I have one betta who has a 5 gallon tank and he will build maybe 5 or 6 bubble nests a year and then I have another betta in a 3 gallon who will build one or two a month. It depends on the bettas age and personality. The whole "bubble nest means they're happy" thing is a myth.

TheAmazingNicke - 8 years ago

+Oscar Hernandez you can use craft mesh or the same material as alexandra:)

Oscar Hernandez - 8 years ago

+TheAmazingNicke I've been looking for some dividers as I already have my extra 10 gallon tank but have not filled it up yet. Do you know any dividers that I can use that would be good for by bettas?

TheAmazingNicke - 8 years ago

+Oscar Hernandez sounds good! :)

Oscar Hernandez - 8 years ago

+TheAmazingNicke I have some extra live plants that are not too big, like you said I don't want to add too many plants so they have a lot of space to swim.

TheAmazingNicke - 8 years ago

+Oscar Hernandez you could, but if your going to have decorations the swim space will automatically get smaller. If your betta does a bubble nest he's happy, but if he don't do any he's not happy. And I would recommend live plants :)

Oscar Hernandez - 8 years ago

+TheAmazingNicke could I get 3 sections instead of 4?

TheAmazingNicke - 8 years ago

You shouldn't divide it in 4 sections, I would recommend 2 sections. If you're going to have bettas they will be happier with more space. I promise :) I got 2 bettas in my divided 10 gallon :) they always do bubble nests! :D

the tank's set up looks awesome but think deeply if one of the betta fish gets sick then the virus could spread around then the others betta fish will get affected

No difference with a community tank. If one gets sick, put in a quarantine tank

Did you use glue for stick black filtercartridges to the glass?

Hollis Brown - 8 years ago

You can add an African Dwarf Frog to each tank. They do really well with each other, and they're sooo cute. They leave each other alone. Just a thought.

Hi 2 - 8 years ago

My African frog killed my two fish the fish aren't betas but they ripped the fish apart I don't recommend them

Hollis Brown - 8 years ago

I love it! Great job! You've inspired me. Lol

Was did you use as dividers??

Rhythm F. - 8 years ago

carbon filters?

Thashka Ranasinghe - 8 years ago

+moselc.09
Try (ithink)52x52cm filter form/filter form. Then continue to scroll dwn till u come cross the bigger sheets;its easy to find(comes in yellow, blue, black&white;long/thin/thick ect..)
They come in 2-3cm thick the last time i had a look. They ship fr china somewhere(not lik its a prob or anything)

moselc.09 - 8 years ago

+AlexandrasPets I looked up filter carpets and filter cartridges and im not seeing anything. Can you provide a link?

AlexandrasPets - 8 years ago

I used black filtercartridges! Search for it on petshops or on ebay :)

NEB Barnes - 8 years ago

Is that an under gravel filter system? I had one that came with my tank from Walmart but I ended up taking it out because my beta got stuck to it twice. I thought he was dead.

Thashka Ranasinghe - 8 years ago

Your gravel was not deep enough thats the only reason i can think of.
I keep shrimps in mine and they are fine.
So its clearly something is wrong with ur set up.

Elena Sefo - 8 years ago

does it still work? is it safe for the fish?

GunndaBallong - 8 years ago

what do you use to let the water get oxygen ? :)

Thashka Ranasinghe - 8 years ago

get rid of the gravel, it looks awful, its just cause i hate gravel use white sand instead its easy and cleaner for your fish

??Simeon Curtis - 8 years ago

I think the gravel looks cool

savannah rose handel - 8 years ago

gravel is essential for a good bacteria to thrive and allow your tank to cycle. That really is just your opinion. I don't like having sand in my betta tanks. No need to be rude.

Havens Animals - 8 years ago

+Lexi Kent woah..easy there. It's gravel, and for the record, gravel is easier to clean

Silverstreek x. - 9 years ago

What about halfing the tank? You could then add more natural decor and plants.
You would have more room to build some different structures and make it more unique.
I think it's a huge upgrade from the previous tank but yes, if you're looking to continue improving it, that is how I'd personally go about it. I feel like the more space they have, the more interesting/happy they are.

Also, if you were to do that, you could probably purchase a female for the two or a tank mate for each of them.
Bristle noses are supposed to go well with them, or any type of cat fish. I know people like to have many males because of their beautiful looks but I don't know, I think two would be perfect with some other fish.
