love the tank!!! i find that bettas in community tanks tend to eat too much though so i started housing my bettas individually

Seriously Curious - 7 years ago

awesome, the key is huge tank, is enough space and great plants, great set up

Aldo Fernandes Azevedo - 7 years ago

Is not too hight for them?

Max Krisna - 7 years ago

Once i put my betta on my 200 gallons pond after 2 month i lost it cuz the color of my pond's floor is too dark

Chris Holt - 7 years ago

Had my betta in a bigger tank, he had problems competing for food . The other fishes were to fast and gobbled up all the food.

Nadjie Bekir - 7 years ago

Amazing tank! Thank you for sharing this beauty with us!

Shah Sen - 7 years ago

WOW 300 GALLON NICE ONE...
PLEASE LIKE MY BETTA FISH
THANK YOU

Buzsaw Bowser - 7 years ago

Thanks for myth busting. I hate how people just accept what they're told without testing for themselves!

Shawnlyq - 7 years ago

300 Gallon would require me to pay my water bills 3 months in advance... @_@

Absolutely gorgeous tank! I want one like yours in the future

Joni Solis - 7 years ago

any update videos on this aquarium with the three Betta fish? Thanks!

Joni Solis - 7 years ago

Thank You!

LostMexicanFilms - 7 years ago

Yeah it's called Automatic feeder and 500gallon tank update. You will find it in my Channel. Thanks for the comment

Rainy - 7 years ago

That's an awesome tank.

Marty Lynchian - 7 years ago

That is 100 gallons per betta.

David Wilson - 7 years ago

you should add a dozen females. they will start breeding. With any tank you should have more females than males. They could fight over the female.

Anthony Pashkov - 7 years ago

This is the best use for a 300 gallon tank! Awesome!

Clement Papa - 7 years ago

do your bettas eat the fry? please tell me so that i can put my halfmoon betta into my 3feet tank with mollies and guppies, and does the guppies or mollies and swordtail nip my halfmoon betta because he have wide tail

Jaden Huang - 7 years ago

Man your so lucky to have such a big tank.I wished i could have a 300 galloon tank for my betta,my betta lives in a 2.5 galloon tank.He has a small life in a small tank.

TheMachomaniac - 7 years ago

Anyone think you could keep 2 in a 75 gallon?

XOXO Loveya - 7 years ago

this is very interesting, yet again betta splendens would just keep to their own territory is given enough tank space. Wild bettas can normally live together in a 40 gallon, which is what I keep them in, but I normally keep my 75-500 gallon tanks for my bigger fish ;)

Forever and ever I swear! - 7 years ago

I love large aquariums..

Mostlyharmless1985 - 7 years ago

Wow! Here i am thinking i'm giving my lovely boy a palace with a ten gallon planted setup, and you go and give 3 of them 100 gallons a piece, with a woman to boot! with 300+ guppies though, how do you handle the natural aggression bettas have against fluttery fish? Do the guppies just learn to avoid betta territory or do you get losses from nips and squabbles?

LostMexicanFilms - 7 years ago

Watch the other videos on this tank. they go into better detail about the setup

LostMexicanFilms - 7 years ago

Guppies are smart! and Bettas will actually not bother them. Its kinda cool just to watch all the stereotypes fall to pieces.

Kaltrina Demiri - 7 years ago

I love this tank.. this is what I want.. a big tank filled with guppies, platies, mollies, and all those pretty fish.

Benson Su - 7 years ago

Damn, what a nice tank and environment for your fish, I only have a 1 gallon tank with plastic plants and blue pebbles

djmocok - 7 years ago

Man that blue one is hands down one of the nicest looking bettas I've seen

Shokara2 - 7 years ago

i had 8 males and 6 females in a heavily planted 100 gal tank with a variety of guppies, mollies, platies and bottom fish. They fought the first couple of days then did fibe for the next 4 yearsm

Will G - 7 years ago

I had the same questions but like I wanted to do more shallow but longer/wider

Lizzie Rings - 7 years ago

Have you noticed the males pestering the female to breed?

LostMexicanFilms - 7 years ago

Watch the update video. they laid eggs and had Fry.

Abby c - 7 years ago

I know female betta's can be put together. I have three together, though it completely depends on the individuals personality. Like most males can't be put together, but sometimes you can have the exception.

dan kachiros - 7 years ago

very interesting nice tank

Something Fishy Juno - 7 years ago

How are the frys not sucked up in the filter.

LostMexicanFilms - 7 years ago

Watch the Update video. they are laying eggs

Jose Copernicus - 7 years ago

About how many guppies did you start off with?

LostMexicanFilms - 7 years ago

50 i believe. I traded Salmon for guppies.
ha ha

Jay Ballz - 7 years ago

Like your tank man you did a really nice setup I have one veiltail betta in a 20 gal tank and I'm hoping to start a little community with him once I add more live plants and maybe a little driftwood

Adrian Khor - 7 years ago

Try more female bettas. It's fun to see them interact as well

Yoga Pradenta - 7 years ago

Good size aquarium for betta fish

Rob Gungan - 7 years ago

I have a 5gal with two fancy goldfish lol

Howl Hailstorm - 7 years ago

Iv been wondering this fir years, but i cant have my own 500gl tank, do you think a similar 200 or even 100 gal. planted tank could have 2 male? whats a good gal to beta ratio?

LostMexicanFilms - 7 years ago

Plants is the key. you could have a 20 or 30 gallon tank fully planted and have 2 betters in there. if they can see each other they don't know they exist.

Y.P.A V - 7 years ago

good advice man

Dianya Luo - 7 years ago

GOALS

Abusivesquirrel - 7 years ago

sadly tank only guppies and beta's / I like the beta's but guppies in this awesome tank meh

LostMexicanFilms - 7 years ago

I like Ironies. Thats why i did it. Having a 500 Gallon set up with the smallest live bearing fish is an Irony. Most would put big fish in there making the tank smaller

DisconapCompany - 7 years ago

damn this is amazing. youre so lucky.

Majestic Muffin - 7 years ago

your Bettas look a lot cooler than mine, mines pure red

zioro1235 - 7 years ago

Guppies are bad for beta's they can nip their fins witch makes them more aggressive

WWE DX Fan - 6 years ago

Not true mine guppies are just fine with betta

Talmari Turner - 7 years ago

They have enough space to where they don't need to fight but nice tank

Lynne Bass - 7 years ago

Females should be in groups of 5+

Kayla Brearley - 7 years ago

What I meant by that is some female are extremely aggressive just like most males to the point where no matter how many females are in that sorority she will still attack, harm, and in some cases even kill other females she is put in with.

Lynne Bass - 7 years ago

Kayla Brearley
Non "group up"
The point of large groups is so that non are picked on
Larger number the less likely chance of fightd

Kayla Brearley - 7 years ago

they don't have to be and some even can't group up Edit: (be in a sorority)

Bob J-M Gervais - 8 years ago

your tank is probably one of my favorite becose it is so big! the aquascape is also very nice, very natural... i juste love this tank. it prouve that space do difference for the fish...
I hope one day i will have a tank that big. the best part is that you actually have another huge aquarium just under this one XD. you are prouving that a betta can live with other males, guppys and angel fish... trully amaising, I hope you will do updates of this tank :)

LostMexicanFilms - 7 years ago

Well betta's do live together in the wild both male and female

Brandyn Peterson - 8 years ago

I would hate to clean that thing man

Matrix Berzins - 7 years ago

Larger tank you have - less problems you get :)

Roddy Yang - 7 years ago

W......T.......F? Watching now.

LostMexicanFilms - 7 years ago

Its a self sustained tank. I never clean it. Watch the other video. 2 Years of NO MAINTENANCE.

Anthony Zaradich - 7 years ago

You don't really need to. Live plants counteract a lot of the bioload of your fish.

Robert. - 8 years ago

It's very obvious they can live together. The average males territory is about 3 feet. But it's best to buy only one beta. Unless your a experienced breeder.

should be able to get another male in the tank in the wild there Territory is about 70 gallons in a well planted environment.

Janae_nae_nae - 8 years ago

this is insanely awesome!

CalculusVariations99 - 8 years ago

hug and beautiful tank

The Diabetic's Journal - 8 years ago

I'm not surprised at all that they don't fight. If they have enough of their own territory they usually won't. I don't believe they fight very often in their natural environment. I think they flare and maybe chase and maybe an occasional gill butt or two, but for the most part I don't think they want to fight with each other. People think they enjoy that and were bred to do that, and that's simply not true. It's just their nature. When backed against a wall they'll fight. If there is room enough to avoid a fight they will. Beautiful tank BTW.

Fenu S - 7 years ago

The Diabetic's Journal until they have baby's then they kill...

Carlos Amaral - 7 years ago

I keep 3 males and 6 females in a 30 gallon - heavy planted - with ease. Choosing males with smaller fins is the way to go. They might fight once in a while, but they will suffer less damage and recover very fast.

NME NME - 8 years ago

LOVE THE COLORS!!! Please tell me how you got those beautiful male bettas????? I want one. Locally, they are pretty plain...one color..maybe two....regular tails, etc.

NME NME - 8 years ago

Well..although I adore my local fish store, I think he is very firm on what he will or will not add to his shop. They have this perfect large fish. She always follows me around and coos at me when I visit her, but he wont sell her for any amount of money. Now, the staff there say that fish is vicious to them and they hate her. To each his own. You should sell some of those beautiful bettas. I bet you would have a crowd for those colors and looks.

LostMexicanFilms - 8 years ago

A good friend of mine owns the local pet store. We figured out a long time ago that the fish wholesaler sells... Common betas $X.00 dollars.... And mix variety betas $X.09 dollars...
So he just orders the mix variety cause they are cooler and they bring in more customers. Talk to your fish store they might not know it's worth the extra pennies for better fish.

Fishhunter2014 - 8 years ago

Well, this is pretty much what would happen in the wild. If a male comes across another male, one will inevitably retreat. When they're stuck in 5 gallon bowls it becomes a problem.

Mr Penguin - 7 years ago

i put a shark in a 20 gallon and it didnt go well

Fenu S - 7 years ago

Fishhunter2014 IK he did it right! huge TANK no problem

Candy Lanes - 7 years ago

just because you can keep them in a 5 gallon bowl doesn't mean you should. A 20 gallon is the smallest I would recommend for ANY fish.

Majestic Wolf Girls - 7 years ago

whosoever I have a 10 gallon tank for my one male betta.

whosoever - 8 years ago

Man, you think 5 gal tank is a bowl? Just curious how you keep your betta? I use 5 gal bowl for 1 fish.......;)

Animals4life - 8 years ago

Wild bettas have about a square meter of territory each, so in a large enough tank, it is possible. However, you must have an extremely heavily planted tank, like this awesome tank does. It's like Russian roulette. Some work, others do not.

Daisy Robinson - 8 years ago

Your male betta are especially gorgeous!

bubbabouyi - 8 years ago

Awesome, what. Kind of wood is in tank

LostMexicanFilms - 7 years ago

Dogwood i believe. A tree that got struck by lightning. Then it rotted standing up!

Rosso The'Crimson - 8 years ago

I kept 2 Male Bettas in a 30-37 gal before with no problem. IMO their temperament is just like African Cichlids, except Bettas will lose their gorgeous fins duking it out for space if not enough is provided.

Killuminati Warriors of truth - 8 years ago

That Is Fucking Sick! Love The Setup!

Allyson Marie - 8 years ago

You have a beautiful tank.

piyush kumar - 8 years ago

awesome...very beautiful tank..:p

Daniel Mayer - 8 years ago

Thanks sounds like good advice. My tap water is also 7 so would you say around PH 7 is ok for betta?

Daniel Mayer - 8 years ago

Nice tank dude! What PH is your water please? Thinking of getting a betta for my tank

Anushka Jewalikar - 7 years ago

Estranga Marl yes you always have to use a nice quality conditioner, because some of the minerals that are added for taste and stuff, is toxic for fish

Estranga Marl - 7 years ago

do you still put any water conditioner or anything in it?

LostMexicanFilms - 8 years ago

Here is the trick. Take some of your tap water, have it tested... Now only work with fish that will work with your parameters. Makes life simple. My tap water is 7 so I work with anything that can thrive in this water. The Angels were slowly adjusted to alkaline water.

MrBettafishy - 8 years ago

do you add extra c02 and nutrients for your plants? also what kind of lighting do you have?

LostMexicanFilms - 7 years ago

Not dechlorinated. But i will eventually set up a drip system on to some Activated Charcoal. that will take care of everything

André Reis - 8 years ago

+Joseph Farah "Straight tap water" So I suppose it isnt dechlorinated.
On my 350G I do 25% water changes every month also on an automated system except it comes from a deposit of tap water that I fill up every now and then, it takes about 24/48H for chlorine to go bye bye, so no need to add prime or any other chemical, never had any problems. And I've had CO2 and fertilizers before, IMO waste of money, good light and fish that poop(I guess all of them) is all it takes.

Joseph Farah - 8 years ago

+LostMexicanFilms dechlorinated tap?

LostMexicanFilms - 8 years ago

No CO2. No fertilizers, no nothing... Shop lights from lowes. 10 dollars. 30% water changes once a month. It's an automatic water change. Straight tap water.

Claire Rosa Pets - 8 years ago

Wow!! That's so weird that they get along because one person placed two male bettas together in a lake and they fought!

Natalie Liggett - 9 years ago

I'm having serious tank envy right now!! What a beautiful tank you have, I have a betta in with my guppies, but it's definitely not big enough to keep two in

Trevor Killeen - 9 years ago

300 guppies! Daaaaaaayyyyuuuuum!

Phyllis PhyllisM - 9 years ago

I commend you for your community tank, i have 25 male Bettas living so peacefully in my 55 gal tank, have you gotten dozens of haters critizing you and attacking you as I have? i had hoped i could open some hearts and minds to start treating these misunderstood boys and give them the life of fish like all other types! I love my pretty Betta boys!

Keith Kim - 8 years ago

He has 3 males in a 300 gallon... you have 25 in a 55. That's animal abuse and not even close to what a wild life scenario would look like.

Angela Geli - 9 years ago

I read that it still means a lot of stress to them if they are kept with other fish, even if they dont show it.
I guess nobody can tell right now, but I think you can tell by how old they get. 2 years or less: It was very stressful for them, and they were suffering for a lifetime (everyone knows how stress feels, imagine it being a constant situation)
5+ years: They were doing perfectly fine.
Bettas are fish with personality. If one betta does well in a community tank, it doesnt go for all bettas.

Cheryl Dahl - 9 years ago

Breeding guppies is fun, but they breed so fast! I can't afford anything bigger than a 10 gallon right now :(

Cheryl Dahl - 8 years ago

+MageTezzos Oh wow! Fish seem weaker these days too. It used to be so easy to breed fish, now they seem to get sick more often. :( I just have a male betta fish in my 10 gallon. He won't let me get him any roommates. I put in some corydoras, and he started to pick on them. I gave them to my sister. They are happy in her 40 gallon with other corydoras anyway :)

MageTezzos - 8 years ago

+Cheryl Dahl I'm down to about 6 or 7 guppies 6 males and 1 female in the 10 gallon. I swear the one female kills all other females. so I won't be restocking, unless the 10 gallon female dies, i'll put in another female from my endler tank.

MageTezzos - 8 years ago

+Cheryl Dahl i've had guppies for several years now... a 14 or 15 gallon and a 10 gallon, they've never outgrown it, in fact my guppies never have more than 6-7 fry. I envy those whose guppies drop 40 fry. I really do. I'd be happy to get a 55 gallon.

hanzifaction - 9 years ago

It all depends on the individual fish personality. But like you said in a big enough tank, they can just swim away from each other instead of fighting. I don't think they wanna get hurt in a fight, it's not beneficial to either fish. So they probably avoid fighting at all costs.

XJustice Leaguex - 9 years ago

i have a huge tank like that but how and what temp is the tank

sam pollard - 9 years ago

Can you do an update on he bettas?

Spring Howell - 9 years ago

I have a 20 gal goldfish tank as soon as the goldfish die I'm gonna buy a male and female guppie and them when they breed I'll get guppies

LostMexicanFilms - 9 years ago

Interesting fact: longest living gold fish was over 50 years old. So, my advice, give it away or else you may be waiting a long time to get your guppies.

Phyllis PhyllisM - 9 years ago

I have 28 male Bettas in my 55 gal tank all peaceful!

Julie F. - 9 years ago

I have two male Siamese Fighting Fish - an older Veiltail (Putin) and a younger Double Halfmoon (Obama) - in the same 3-gallon, and they're fine. No fighting, just playing.

Julie F. - 9 years ago

+Claire McLaren i should prolly mention Obama is now named Lavrov because they like each other. Hence - Sergey Viktorovich (Lavrov).

Julie F. - 9 years ago

+Claire McLaren Nah. They enjoy it. They're buddies. I was shocked myself - but what started as an experiment morphed into (well-monitored) play dates. Vladimir Vladimirovich and Sergey Viktorovich get along very well.

Claire McLaren - 9 years ago

THE PLAYING IS FIGHTING PLEASE TAKE THEM OUT RIGHT NOW

kong nyugen - 9 years ago

wanna keep bettas together. just keep poking them with a stick until they get pussy n won't fight anymore then u can keep them together. I learn about this cuz i see lots of plakats that lost alot of fight n after losing lots of fight they don't fight anymore cuz they lost confidents.

Yen Xion - 7 years ago

That's fucking nasty

Jimmy Tu - 9 years ago

+van hohenheim You should try poking your spelling, grammar, and punctuation with a stick to see if they'll get better.

Creative Pet Keeping - 9 years ago

I have two males in a 20 gal. One spends most of his time in a medium breeding container but I occasionally let him out to be in the tank together and they get along. Zero aggression..BUT I never let them be alone together because I don't trust them... Sadly I don't think my tank is big enough to pull of what you did.

Slybunny - 9 years ago

YOU ARE LIKE ME GUPPIESSSS

AB W - 9 years ago

This is so interesting. I commend you for at least trying your experiment responsibly...in that the tank is 300 gallons, and is absolutely gorgeous!! I guess because it's so large of a space it almost mimics a portion of a natural stream or river bed, and the males just respond as if they were in the wild. They certainly have a wonderful, healthy home. Very lucky bettas ; )

LostMexicanFilms - 8 years ago

Six feet by one and a half by one and a half

gutted - 8 years ago

+LostMexicanFilms what's the dimensions on the 175? do you think the tons of guppies in there helps distract the bettas?

LostMexicanFilms - 9 years ago

+Ashley W. Thank you, I have a 175 gallon tank bellow my 300gal so i tried with another two new Bettas in there with two angels and 100 guppies... same result. No fight, just a simple flare and swim away from each other. Thank you... My Favorite Betta in the world is the Betta Macrostoma, I hope to see one in person or own one some day.

Rico Suave - 9 years ago

Wtf I think your bettas might get lost in that tank lol
