This has always been my dream style betta tank lol so damn beautiful, I really should get one of mine set like this ✨

Dryhunter WeloveSONY - 7 years ago

buddha statue cant to be relieve except decoration your home.

KC Teo - 7 years ago

where to buy this buddha statue?

Marcelo - 7 years ago

Hi! I've LOVED this tank setup for YEARS now! I now have a new apartment that this setup would look amazing in. Now, i'm ready to FINALLY try this out myself but i have a question. I've read so much on threads and blogs about how its unsafe to put dried bamboo in an aquarium. Toxins, Bacteria, Rot etc. What did you do to the bamboo to seal it or make it safe for the aquarium? I've read about marine epoxy, silicone sealer, kryon fusion, etc but i still cant find an EXACT answer. Also, where did you get the bamboo sticks from? Home Depot, Craft Store, etc. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE help me! Thank you so much for your time, I really appreciate it.

Merideth Paskel - 7 years ago

The baby's tears at the top. I'm wanting to add some at in my aquarium but how do you get it at the top of your tank? Everything I'm seeing says you have to plan it in your substrate. I don't really wanted at the bottom I would just like to have it across the top to baffle the flow of my pump. Do tell!

WakeupGrandOwl - 8 years ago

I will always want this tank, and never accomplish it. I set one up in inspiration of this one with a stature of Ganesh, as my very fisrt tankls but it always ended up degenerating from lack of patience and improper plant choice. Eventually I took the statue out as the paint was peeling. I may have discarded it but I hope not. I should try again with more patience and proper plant selection.
All of my current tanks have a natural appearance sans statues ect. but I'd love one like this.

Masterjedi688 - 8 years ago

Your tank is absolutely beautiful. Very zen and the music compliments the mood that tank represents. Love it and I love bettas.

Hanibaltherogue - 8 years ago

one of the m,ost beautiful tank ive seen so far (at that size)

Vanessa Owens - 8 years ago

You mentioned on your website you used weights to hold the bamboo down. Could you please tell me what kind of weights you used? Thank you and beautiful tank.

Vu-Down - 8 years ago

Nice set up.. But in respect buddha must be kept clean is not allowed to be submerged underwater, on the ground (unless in a shrine), facing the toilet or behind when your inside the house... They must sit high.. And face the front door entrance.. Protect your from intruders

Bang Bang - 8 years ago

Awesome tank. What kind of fish tank is that? I would love to get one.

Shelby Hansen - 7 years ago

Bang Bang it looks like a veiltale betta.

Silvina p - 9 years ago

Beautiful! Just one question: did you buy the Buddah in an ordinary store? did you have to boil it before putting it into the tank? I would like to put one too but I am scared the paint might intoxicate my fish... thanks!!!

Aquatic squid - 8 years ago

fishkillernomore - 13 years ago

@Imabadspeller trying to but my work is holding me hostage these days...

fishkillernomore - 13 years ago

@BastRulez It just does that by itself. Dose the water with liquid fertilizers so it can get some nutrients to feed off on.

fishkillernomore - 13 years ago

@SpadedJuggalo87 Not really, but he can fake it by just screaming "waaaataaaaaaaaahhhh!!!" ("water") ala Bruce Lee. hee hee hee.

Carson Bowen - 13 years ago

Does your fish know Kung Fu?

Holacarri - 13 years ago

buccaneerbrawler - 13 years ago

Beautiful tank!

Rosy Lee - 13 years ago

i bet that Betta is saying, I'm in Heaven....

JatoWhitz - 13 years ago

Quick question for you betta experts, is $30 a lot for a betta? There's a black short-tail halfmoon (plakat?) and somef red halfmoons at my local fish store selling for $30. The black one's jet black with just a smudge of white on the ends of the front fins (or whatever they're called, sorry I'm still new to this) and the reds are well... red. There's also a blue halfmoon but its fins are kinda torn and there was barely enough water in there... Well anyway, are they worth it? Thanx in advance :3

Stevie654321sc - 13 years ago

Prince Kehy - 13 years ago

this tank is so great, it's what inspired me to put work into my own betta tank. If you don't mind, would you take a look at it?

Prince Kehy - 13 years ago

ZSW Royals - 13 years ago

Wow Thats fantastic! Great work, did you take bamboo and cut it into strips?

Del James - 13 years ago

wow that looks amazing!!!

batlady2 - 13 years ago

@fishkillernomore OMG! That dragon is WICKED! I have two like that but they are in different poses than yours. I LIKE YOURS BETTER! I think this tank would be an excellent Betta one. You say there at your blog that you are going to add more branches and plants. For a Betta tank thats best and it looks better even though you like the more minimalist look the best. I swear Dude, someone could give you a plastic box, clump of weeds, and a couple of rocks and you'd make it look like a piece of art!

iamjin1 - 13 years ago

fishkillernomore - 13 years ago

@batlady2 Hi Batlady! Currently working on a new nano tank, actually. There's some pics on my blog (tankscapeDOTcom). You think a betta would look good there? (if I swap out the bloodfins, that is)

fishkillernomore - 13 years ago

@patchofmoth haha thanks! Maaan they've got tough critics over there haha

patchofmoth - 13 years ago

LOL, I just rated this on ratemyfishtank!

batlady2 - 13 years ago

Hey FKNM! How about putting together another betta tank? This one was fantastic and the most popular one on YT. Lets see another one! Another over the top one that every one will want to copy after they see it. We want to see if you can top this one.

@atreyuexsandohs they're called baby's tears

fishkillernomore - 14 years ago

@Smeagol1359 thank you! No, the tank has been in storage since my betta passed away a few years ago. Thinking of setting up the tank again either for a betta or a dwarf puffer. we'll see...

fishkillernomore - 14 years ago

@1977pscs haha thanks. lemme know when u have ur tank vid up! i wanna see

fishkillernomore - 14 years ago

@animalmastermtd thank you!!

fishkillernomore - 14 years ago

@piggylord32 it rotted eventually (around 6 months). Everything organic rots if exposed to water long enough, including driftwood (though driftwood rots /erodes reaaaaaallly slowly). The bamboo sticks i had were already dried/dead when I cut them off the mother plant. Then I cut them to smaller pieces and sun dried them for an additional 3 weeks or so.

fishkillernomore - 14 years ago

@LGITdude1 uhh yes and no. A fully submerged lucky bamboo won't last long underwater. BUT, you can keep them alive and healthy if you get ones that are tall enough where only the stems are underwater and all the leaves are above the water line. That said, you won't be able to put a top on your tank. I dont know of any other bamboo plants that can live on water.

MrBettafishy - 14 years ago

hey can i use your video in one of mine to show some of the best betta fish tanks on youtube???

phil ste - 14 years ago

It's nice to see someone taking so much time and effort to put together such a gorgeous tank for your betta...way too many people on here showing off their fish in pretty dismal conditions that It's fairly depressing!I just got my betta a week ago and the little guy is part of my family now,they are great fish!I have his five gallon set up right next to the computer so he has something to look at and doesnt feel alone...Its funny how socialable and friendly they are

fishkillernomore - 14 years ago

@blomse87 thanks! yes, the bamboo is real (dried bamboo though, not live).

fishkillernomore - 14 years ago

@atreyuexsandohs thanks. and yes, dried bamboo cane

fishkillernomore - 14 years ago

@animallover201013 yessir/yesma'am. his favorite spot was by the filter. the water flow pushes the baby's tears away from it, so there was plenty of space for him to get air.

fishkillernomore - 14 years ago

@tonacolorado i forgot the manufacturer's name :S I don't think they sell these anymore though. It's a 4 gallon tank.

fishkillernomore - 14 years ago

@stfumvs anything organic will rot in water eventually (driftwood, included). The bamboo lasted around 6 months before it had to be replaced. I believe proper preparation is key to long lasting bamboo: make sure it's completely dried.

fishkillernomore - 14 years ago

@coolbetta aw shucks, thanks!

Clarissa4o9 - 14 years ago

@stfumvs I really love bamboo but it made a slimy film over my tank,not all bamboos do this so give is a try.

stfumvs - 14 years ago

Great tank! I was looking up reviews about bamboo in aquarium. Since yours are not necessary live (I assume), Are they rotting and you had to replace them or are they still in great shape after all this time?

@fishkillernomore haha i got my budda from ebay too, all my friends think i'm buddhist n im like NO, i just saw this tank on youtube, check this out. lol. but EVERYONE loves it.

enigmaE5 - 14 years ago

@fishkillernomore man, i commented on this like a yr ago so i'm not sure what i said but my tank now replicates yours a bit. I wanna send u a pic so you can see what u inspired let me know... n i will send u a pic.

fishkillernomore - 14 years ago

@AsianburnsForlife hi! the floating plant is called baby's tears. But if have a 200 litre tank, you may want to consider something with slightly larger leaves to float. Maybe guppy grass. Or golden creeping jenny (it's actually a stem plant but you can float them).

fishkillernomore - 14 years ago

@fredfredburgeriscool ebay, sir! :)

fishkillernomore - 14 years ago

@BerkoKaitlin baby's tears

fishkillernomore - 14 years ago

@enigmaE5 mmm no, i think they treat the bamboo with chemicals to keep the bugs from chewing it up.

fishkillernomore - 14 years ago

@bstaznboimke go ahead! Please post the video on youtube when you're done, I like to see how other people interpret the design in their tank :)

fishkillernomore - 14 years ago

@doggyhog123 baby's tears

fishkillernomore - 14 years ago

@CharlotteX0o thanks! there is a filter, but it's set to really low to not disturb the betta too much

fishkillernomore - 14 years ago

@martinnis lucky bamboo won't live underwater at all...

fishkillernomore - 14 years ago

@azureheavens90 oh geez. let's see. Tank = $80 (including shipping), buddha= $12?, betta = $3, sand = $5, plants = $30ish, heater = $35 (it was very fancy!). Plus lots of blood sweat and tears, you can't put a price on those haha.

fishkillernomore - 14 years ago

@azza910 yar. Well hidden in the back, the smallest heater I could find. Oddly enough, it also was one of the most expensive hahaha.

fishkillernomore - 14 years ago

@hillareeeee but it is reallllll O__o

fishkillernomore - 14 years ago

@KillerKikyo5 i have worms in my tummy, but none in the tank. hahaha jk. i think you're looking at a leaf that looks like it's swimming...

fishkillernomore - 14 years ago

@EmTheNinja42 thanks! I got anubias in the back, creeping jenny by the bamboo (planted) and baby's tears as floating plants.

fishkillernomore - 14 years ago

@YoutwixMe ebay :) hey, cool nickname haha!

fishkillernomore - 14 years ago

@XXBigJunetownXX ebay! and thanks! :)

fishkillernomore - 14 years ago

@hellraiserdarkloid you do realize that there's a lot of people who have either mary, jesus or any saints in their mini grottos/shrine (you know, the kind with the waterfall and a mini pond) in their backyard, right? Puttinng religious objects by a water feature is nothing new...

fishkillernomore - 14 years ago

@Colbs378 it's just a leaf :)

fishkillernomore - 14 years ago

@pacman820 Noted :) There was actually some pockets of plant-free surfaces at the back. Most of the floaters were on the front since the water flow pushes them there.

fishkillernomore - 14 years ago

@runescapesteven they're just from my backyard...

fishkillernomore - 14 years ago

@PirateSmoothie sorry to disappoint!

fishkillernomore - 14 years ago

@TheHeether lol it's not a kit :) Buddha was from ebay, bamboo was from the backyard

fishkillernomore - 14 years ago

@TheHeether natural bamboo, but must be thoroughly dried. Otherwise it's gonna go funky in a matter of days.

fishkillernomore - 14 years ago

@MrJack12483 not a fern. It's actually a stem plant called baby's tears.

fishkillernomore - 14 years ago

@soynicholas gracias!

fishkillernomore - 14 years ago

@keeweez2234 aww sorry bout ur dog. Hope Ozzy keeps you entertained for hours!

fishkillernomore - 14 years ago

@mortaza193 why thank you!

fishkillernomore - 14 years ago

@Lazrsquadbig10 Baby's tears. Make sure to get the right one, there's another plant called giant baby's tears but it's a totally different plant.

@PirateSmoothie i think what he means is peace, as in bamboo and the peacefullness collided with the betta which was a fighting machine, but yea it kinda was misleading....

hmmmm........ By the begging title intro i thought this was going to be a video of multiple betas in the same tank. Your intro is kinda misleading....o__O

Samuel Lee - 14 years ago

be careful with the plant/ vines sitting on the top of the tank. usually betta fish get stuck up there and die from the lack of oxygen.

U HAVE A TANK THAT LOOKS LIKE THAT? mine is boring.

f937r - 14 years ago

If I were your betta, I'd think I was flying.

its a really cool tank but its not good to put Gods in general underwater its like unholy

tomcat13claws - 14 years ago

I wanted to do a tank with a budah statue in it as well. I found a cool green glass/ plastic? statue. I should get it and set up a "meditation tank." It would look good (calming) with my blue gravel. Your tanks looks great BTW!

Jamie Song - 14 years ago

whats the the plants in there, this is an awesom tank, where did you get it from?

TheNinjaTiger - 14 years ago

ooh preeeety

brandon429 - 14 years ago

agreed not duckweed. without sharp detail I can't tell, but my best guess is that is either wisteria floating or an aquatic fern

conor1148 - 14 years ago

it may be rivercane, if so, its pretty common down here in the south east. theres tons of different kinds of cane that look just like bamboo (to the average viewer) all over the place. just gotta find out what grows near you.

0bsidianBlackbird - 14 years ago

what makes you think it is sad?

kravenkorvinus - 14 years ago

more likely it's riccia fluitans..

lizza66 - 14 years ago

Gorgeous! So elegant and makes me feel like I am at yoga class. Someone gave a betta to me about five weeks ago, I never had a fish before, it would have never occured to me. I cannot believe how wonderful it is to have a fish tank, but mine came out much cheesier than this! I can't stop thinking about how much I like having this fish, and I kind of want to set up another tank for the other side of my computer now!

Jack Rey - 14 years ago

@BerkoKaitlin i think its called baby tears.

Adi Iova - 14 years ago

that is a sad beta

finalman25 - 14 years ago

i thought so thanks for that comment

finalman25 - 14 years ago

@pjm13000 it could be my beta only but i think its fish that look like them that they fight and when my beta see's his reflection in the mirror he starts getting really aggravated so i think its that..or my beta is just a pussy

brandon429 - 14 years ago

nice!

pjm13000 - 14 years ago

o well idk but i put my bro beta and mine in same tank and they were figthing hard like taking fins off so i had to hurry and seporate them

finalman25 - 14 years ago

i disagree i put ghost shrimp a gold fish and a rosared fish in with my beta and it did not do a thing i have the tape to prove it too..it might just be other betas

pjm13000 - 14 years ago

u cant those are teritorial and will kill another fish

TheMacDool - 14 years ago

will guppies and beta splendens get on in the same tank, Ive always believed that beta should be kept on they're own unless of course they are female which are much more peaceful

Josh Larrivee - 14 years ago

whoa!! that nice tank ever i seen!! and those betta should be with other small goldfish or some guppies with him! if there guppies with him its would be awesome! or buy 3 or 2 female betta

What is the song? Thank you

Dawgz15 - 14 years ago

This guy has no idea what he's talking about, dont listen to him. Ich is present in ALL tanks, it just attacks the fish when its immune system is weak. For a good ich cure, raise the temperature of the tank slowly to 80~82F...add 2 teaspoons of aquarium salt per gallon of water. Also, do a water change every day, as well as dosing the tank for the new water you just added. The ich should go away within a few days.

LOVE your tank! it's gorgeous. are there other fish in there besides the betta? thought i saw a couple tiny ones? Wondering if I can keep a few other fish in my betta tanks. I have a 6.6 gallon bookshelf tank with my poor sickly betta I rescued about 6 months ago (he is doing so much better now! but is more of a lover, not a fighter. And I just got a 10 gallon tank along with a young betta who flares at everything! very robust. lol. Any ideas for housing other fish in either or both tanks? ty:)

fishkillernomore - 15 years ago

It's coarse white sand. Not quite sand, but not quite gravel. Gravel is ok for some plants as long as you put fertilizer tablets for them. You'll have a hard time growing "grassy"/"carpet" plants on gravel though.

fishkillernomore - 15 years ago

Thank you! :)

fishkillernomore - 15 years ago

Dried bamboo from the backyard. Make sure they're clean and completely dry, otherwise they'll muck up your tank.

Casey Dobzanski - 15 years ago

its my fault i waited too long :[

Casey Dobzanski - 15 years ago

one day i noticed a white film on his eyes 2 days went by, he was acting perfectly normal and the fungus wasnt as visible as before, the the next day i woke up and a part of his back was white then later that night it kept getting worse. the next day he was laying on his side alot. i took him to the store to find out what kind of medicine i needed, when i got him home i put him in the tank with his medicine and about 30 min later he wasnt doing anything but breathing so i flushed him.

Casey Dobzanski - 15 years ago

haha lol. but that sucks i jus had a betta die on me yesterday from some kind of fungus :[

fishkillernomore - 15 years ago

I don't want to admit this online, but...i'm scared of frogs :S heh heh heh. Anyway, my betta passed away a long time ago so...

Casey Dobzanski - 15 years ago

he should have a frog friend :]

fishkillernomore - 15 years ago

bought the buddha on ebay. The plants on top are called baby's tears. post vids when you're done with the tank! would love to see your interpretation of it.

fishkillernomore - 15 years ago

bought the tank on ebay. I don't see it for sale anymore though... the nano cube by jalli (brand name) looks similar, but i dont like the trim too much.

fishkillernomore - 15 years ago

metal (zinc, i think...?) weights on the bottom. It's the same stuff that stores use to bunch aquatic plants together. You don't see them coz they're buried underneath the sand.

fishkillernomore - 15 years ago

thanks! and nope. it's real but it's dead/dried.

Pugsley - 15 years ago

Your tank looks fantastic btw. A nice combination

Pugsley - 15 years ago

While its true they can live in puddles it is only ever temporary until the next rain comes along and fills the river again. And they only survive due to their ability to take oxygen from the air. Im sure if the fish could relay its preference to us it would pick something like the tank in this video over a muddy puddle.

Vojak3 - 15 years ago

Every fish can live in wevery size of aquarium. But how and how long and?

Espeon02 - 15 years ago

wow your tank look beautiful!!.. better than my ugly fish bowl lmao i only have 1 plant and some marbles right now (i need more money D:)

mouse7993 - 15 years ago

Dumb question, how do you get the bamboo to stand straight up without it always falling over?

fishkillernomore - 15 years ago

I'd like to take this chance to remind visitors that while a few might have success in keeping bettas with other bettas or fishy friends, this is not, I repeat, not recommended. The only exception to this rule are the wild bettas, but only with their kind, or if you are breeding like what Spichkey mentioned above. I hate to think that one kid will come home to a mess of dead bettas and fish because he/she read somewhere that they can co-exist peacefully in his/her fish tank.

Rose Jerwell - 15 years ago

cant agree. Many say this I have no issues like this with 3 females and a male.

Adex132 - 15 years ago

well done mate :) Its nice to see a betta actually living the good life. if I was a fish I'd hate to be a beta cause of the way they are treated by almost everyone ;(

ac3b1s - 15 years ago

cool job m8 ! You are the man with this not like most vids here with betas in fish prison cells with no sones , plants or something to hide

xander hobbs vlogs - 15 years ago

you cant keep any other betta with a male betta. only exception is when breeding you intriduce the female but as soon as the job is done you take her out.

shyviolet1221 - 15 years ago

One of the greatest designs for a Betta tank I've seen. I have a question. Are the bambo-looking sticks real plants?

fishkillernomore - 16 years ago

Nope, the home made CO2 system I made failed lol! I was afraid to use the 2 liter bottles (which was working on the 10 gallon tank) on this 4 gallon tank. Thought it might be too much CO2 in such a tiny tank. The 12 ounce bottles I made did not create enough pressure to push the air through the glass bubbler. Either way, the plants were low maintenance so it didn't really need the extra co2.

No CO2 system?

Wow, great tank! It looks so peaceful. I have a 5 gallon for my betta and it's good to see someone else that has a nice big tank, too. :D

The plant floating on top looks like java moss. Great stuff, easy to find. Some of the plants on bottom look like java ferns too.

I really love your tank, so much so I tried to copy it. haha.

fishkillernomore - 16 years ago

ehehehe, sorry for the "via" overkill. Betta's like that whenever I stick my cam near the tank --- he no likey LOL!

fishkillernomore - 16 years ago

Yeah, the floating plants get pushed away by the filter on the left hand corner of the tank so there's space. Incidentally, that's also his favorite spot. I guess the soft rushing water against his tail calmed him down.

fishkillernomore - 16 years ago

Not really. There's a filter (see upper left hand corner of the vid). Water changes were done via syphoning the water out via an air tube. This was the 2nd easiest set up (read: low maintenance) I've ever had.
