SETTING UP MY NEW BETTA FISH TANK! Hi Everyone! We are finally setting up my new (and first) Betta Fish Tank! We are going to have to go through the cycling process so it could take up to 4-6 weeks until it is ready:) So it will be awhile until we actually bring the betta home, it will be a long hard wait but definitely worth it haha! I am planning on getting some more plants and maybe a piece of driftwood to hold the other ones that i had put in.. I am not sure if i am completely happy with the setup atm so i will probably be changing it up soon again ..i hope you all will enjoy todays video and i love you all!

Also when cycling an aquarium I suggest running it for a few days and then buy the betta WITH A BOTTLE OF BB(beneficial bacteria). Some products are Tetra SafeSart and Seachem Stabiity. Since this is a 10 gallon and there will only be a betta, there will be enough BB in the bottle that the ammonia produce by the fish won't be toxic.

Love you ❤️ I wish you success in keeping a betta fish
1. Keep the heater fully submerged under the water. (not how it was in this video or it will shatter from the inside/break) Also, that's a great heater. I've owned several of them.
2. The anubias roots should ONLY be planted underneath the substrate, not the rhizome. Otherwise the plant will rot.

I do recommend a lid anyway, as it will keep debris out of the water and reduce evaporation. But a lid is not a requirement in this situation, and y'all need to chill a bit.
If you want to hasten the cycling process, you can add ammonia. Happy betta keeping. Looking forward to more betta vids. :)
I personally put a selection of large and small rocks, a bunch of plants and usually divide the tank into 3rd if it's 15-20 gal, and find large and small ornaments.
I hope this helps, if you even read it!
I've got my dad hooked on your video.
About a month ago, I made an impulse buy and got myself a winter white and a 20 gallon tank (sorry it's not a 40, I know). My dad was so mad 'cause we already have 3 cats. Well, he came upstairs, she hopped in his hands and he was in love, haha.
She's spoiled. I'm still figuring out a proper seed/pellet mix.
Any suggestions? I currently give her both of the oxbow hamster pellets. One is the oats, other one is veggies... She gets 3 of each a night (although she usually avoids them when seeds are added). I also went ahead and purchased plain sunflower seeds, pumpkin seeds AND flax seeds. I want her to stay healthy 'cause she already seems happy. Haha.
She gets a whimzee chew 'cause I saw you give them to yours and mine won't chew anything unless it has bark on it... And the occasional chew stick, but never the colored ones (she's picky?). OH! She also gets the ocasional milk bone, but rarely since she'll go to town on her whimzee before anything else.... even tries to pouch it and walk around (it's hysterical).
Anyways, if you have any advice or opinions, they'd be greatly appreciated. :]

Silver
I'd keep a cloooose eye on the tank with the fish flake method. It can be very unstable and hard to control, but it's possible! I personally use Tetra Safestart, especially in such a small aquarium (I have a split 10 gallon for my males). It cycled it in 2 weeks & I was able to move them into it right after adding in the supplement. Might be something to consider as well, but I'm sure you can do the fish food method way better than me! xD
1. dont add it to a freshly water-conditioned tank. Water conditioners neutralize ammonia & it'll basically kill the safestart immediately. So let it sit 24 hours before adding safestart.
2. You won't see immediate results. Give it about 3 days before testing, as ammonia & nitrites will rise, but then fall again. It's a biological process, not chemical, it takes time. (Ammonia might go to 1.5 ppm, stay there, then fall after a few days. Just keep testing daily for about 2 weeks)
3. Make sure to add the Safestart, then your fish or fish flakes within 20 minutes. The bacteria kind of needs IMMEDIATE food source.
I also say Beta, but here in Sweden, we say: "kampfisk" it means "fightfish".
I really hate that name, so beta is better.
Gosh i am rambling, guess im tired! Better be quiet and keep on watching the video!
a lot on them. i looked into saucers and there are 2x cheeper. they do the same thing and would be the same size, but since they are still different i am wondering if the two hamsters willl fight over one or another.
i am planning on getting two dwarf campbells later in fall. here are links:

Also, for two Campbell's hamsters, would 1 10 gallon tank and 1 105 qt bin put together be large enough?
Thank you!
Aponogeton grows a white flower that shoots out of the water & the banana plant grows big leave that Bettas love to sleep on
They grow extremely quickly!
And
2. Definitely think about getting a hood cuz Betas are known for jumping out and my beta aquarium evaporates like crazy even with a lid
They also love hiding spots, so try to find some stuff he can hide in. We also had a beta leaf thing that went at the top and he'd literally sit on the leaf. Was so cute!
Also, be careful getting plants online. They may be snail infested which is so stressful, but if you order them from PetSmart or Petco, you should be fine :)
For lights I suggest the Finnex Stingray, have one on my 40 breeder!
Also, I would get a lid and raise the water line to the bottom of the trim.

Duke (3rd fish but 1st white blind Betta)
(2015-present).
If you're curious about Duke, I have only 1 video on my channel of him swimming around and being curious. That's only if you're interested. I'm not trying to promote my channel .
