Hey he doesn't look healthy, i think you need to turn up the filter, i mean the water is barley moving, it needs more movement, not lots but more. And is his water 82 degrees Fahrenheit? No movement or very little, he looks sad, something is wrong, maybe its cause its so boring! Change it up some, more plant definitely.
CosmeticFanatic
CosmeticFanatic - 8 years ago
Please read up more on Betta fish if you intend to get one. Fast water movement will stress out Betta fish, they live in water puddles/rice fields.

nice tank  ,   plants looks  very healthy   ,   but i would put more plants  so the cherry has places to hide  and also  is good idea to reduce the flow of the  filter  ,  bettas like   quiet  waters

Really cool. Love the minimal set up. Did you have to "cycle" the tank before putting the animals in there?
CosmeticFanatic
CosmeticFanatic - 8 years ago
+SantaMonicaHelp Assistant This tank is quite old but I believe I did, and if I remember correctly it's usually necessary to cycle fish tanks? I added filter medium from an already cycled tank, so that helped with the cycling

That snail is going to multiply like crazy. Happened to me once already. They make little slime bags with eggs and before you know it you have 100 snail babies crawling around. They keep your glass clean though.

@shanelle450 Hi, I think it's 2 gallons if I remember correctly. The bigger the tank the better. Yay congrats on your new betta! :) Show us a video :P Probably the most important things you'll need are a filter, water conditioner to make your tap water safe, thermometer and finally a heater or fan depending on the temperature of your betta's room. Feel free to ask more questions if you're unsure :)

Hey there, I'm really not sure about the name of the tank; all the equipment including the tank are local brands so I don't think you would be able to find them. The filter was made for very small tanks so maybe that's why it's not too powerful. However I'm sure your local fish shop will have all the items I used in this video. Thank you very much for the wonderful compliments!! :)

Most fake plants have sharp edges so it's very easy to tear a betta's fins, if you run the plant across some stockings and it catches then it will scratch your betta. Not advisable I think, hope this helps.

That is correct. Unless you remove or change your filter, in which case you'd need to cycle your tank again.
lugia492
lugia492 - 12 years ago
once a tank is cycled, you don't need to cycle it again as long as it's running, correct?
Regan Brooke
Regan Brooke - 12 years ago
make sure you have a good temperature you also need to wait a week before adding fish to let your tank cycle. Next time before you add your fish buy a PF testing kit, it will test the nitrate, nitrite, ph and other important chemicals. Also remember to add your fish to your tank properly DONT just toss them in there add them the right way.

what kind of filter are you using? I'm currently cleaning my betta's 5 gal tank by hand (1/4 change every 4 days, and full change every week thanks to his water getting nasty). I was hoping that a filter might cut some of the frequency in water changes down a tad. (beautiful betta by the way)

Sarah Cosman
Sarah Cosman - 13 years ago
@CosmeticFanatic Yes, you can! It looks like a 5g tank, right? Well I'm sure you can go in and ask for a 5g tank lid, or get the measurements and simply go to a hardware store and get a sheet of glass that you could place on top of the tank as a makeshift lid. Make sure that the glass either has holes in it, you can drill them in yourself, or place it slightly off to the side so there's about 1" of space so air can get through, otherwise your fish will suffocate! The temperature seems fine. :)
Microcosmical
Microcosmical - 13 years ago
@CosmeticFanatic Yeah, you can buy a cover separately, but I don't know how well it would work because your tank is rimless. Also, the plant is definitely anubias, but I think anubias nana is smaller (I too am not totally certain).
CosmeticFanatic
CosmeticFanatic - 13 years ago
@lHleart Thanks for your suggestions. I found this tank in the storage with no lid; do pet shops sell lids alone? Also, the tank temp is usually at 80 and sometimes even climbs to 82 so I thought I could skip on the heater.
Sarah Cosman
Sarah Cosman - 13 years ago
Betta's are known to jump out of their tanks, so I would highly recommend you get a tank lid. I also don't see a heater anywhere in your tank, a heater is a must for tropical fish.
