I'm curious how it sounds . Loud motor noise? Or soothing water bubbling sound ?? It's pretty

mynameisntJJ - 8 years ago

I was thinking of getting a betta fish and I'm unsure of what tank size to get, I've been searching online and it says to get between 1-5 gallon tanks but I'm still unsure do you have any suggestions?

Darcie Marryatt - 8 years ago

mynameisntJJ a 2.5 gallon would be great but you can get whatever you can afford. Basically, as long as it's not a fishbowl

Ally Hummel - 8 years ago

What is the brand of the theremomter

Anna Ritchey - 8 years ago

what kind of heater do you use?

Anna Ritchey - 8 years ago

thank you so much!

BetterBetta - 8 years ago

+Anna Ritchey I use the National Geographic 10w Submersible heater. I got it for around $20 CAD from PetSmart, and I personally love it :)

That pineapple was expensive $14.31

Mr.Rookie Aquarist - 8 years ago

and please tell me what software u are using for video because i have benn waiting for months to release my videos on youtube but couldn't found a suitble software

Mr.Rookie Aquarist - 8 years ago

thanks, will be releasing this or upcoming weekend

BetterBetta - 8 years ago

I use Sony Vegas to edit my videos :) I actually really like this software, once you get the hang of it is really easy and straightforward, I think. Good luck with your videos!

Mr.Rookie Aquarist - 8 years ago

have you ever experimented by putting one female and one male betta fish together, i know that they will fight but by looking at our tank u should try it out

Mr.Rookie Aquarist - 8 years ago

:)

BetterBetta - 8 years ago

The fact you quoted Harry Potter makes me very happy. Maybe I should take some advise from Dumbledore every once and a while :)

Mr.Rookie Aquarist - 8 years ago

curosity is not a sin, but excerise precaution to prevent it -Albus Dumbledore
PS:last is not exact the same as he said

BetterBetta - 8 years ago

No, I've never tried putting them together..I would love to breed bettas but it's a big commitment I'm not sure I'll ever be able to handle! :) When I first bought her, though, she was in the pet store right next to the males and had some breeding stripes & was full of eggs because she was eyeing up the handsome males for too long! ;)

arkimsilence5854242 - 8 years ago

Can you do a cleaning video on this tank?

arkimsilence5854242 - 8 years ago

+BetterBetta thank you!!

BetterBetta - 8 years ago

Absolutely! I'll try to have it up within a week or two :)

ReviewCam - 8 years ago

I would love that tank

BetterBetta - 8 years ago

It definitely makes her happy ! :)

Do you find the 10 watt heater sufficient for this size tank? Is the temperature steady? Do you think it would be enough in a colder ambient temperature (not sure where you're located)? I'm trying to decide between the 10 watt and the 25 watt.

Jean X - 8 years ago

+BetterBetta Perfect, thank you!

BetterBetta - 8 years ago

+Jean X My 10 W works great in my opinion. It is technically made for tanks 2.5 gallons and under, but heats this three gallon (and even my 5's) up to 80F and keeps it steady there. Pretty much whenever I check my tank's temperature, no matter the time of day, its at 80F. I'd suggest a 10W would work great for this tank, but to be safe make sure it is one that shuts off automatically when it reaches 80F so it doesn't overheat. In a small amount of water, I wouldn't want to worry about having to plug it in and out. :) I'd assume that if the water/room were colder, it would simply heat the water more before its auto shut off. But I'd think a 10W would work just fine. Hope this answers your question! :)

Nate's Pet Mates - 8 years ago

That's not a female...

BetterBetta - 8 years ago

+Nate's Pet Mates Although she has long-ish fins that definitely cause people to mistake her gender, I can assure you she is a female :) She has a very visible ovipositor, thin ventrals opposed to the males' blade shaped ventrals, she does not have a beard whilst flaring, is calm in nature, and has never blown a bubble nest in the year I have had her. All these traits can not be determining factors when on their own, but when they are so many combined, it's safe to say she is a female. You certainly aren't the first to think she isn't though, I even thought the store had mistaken her gender when I brought her home - however I did a lot of research and was able to confirm she's a girl. PS I may have found her full of eggs once. I say maybe because her belly area near her ovipositor was swollen and very white, suggesting eggs. I had just bought her at the time, and in the store she was placed very close to males, so she may have been "getting ready". I won't say I'm 100% sure on the egg part though, it's just a educated assumption. But I'm positive she is female :)

Anne Ryan - 8 years ago

very nice very well cared for

BetterBetta - 8 years ago

+Anne Ryan thanks! She really loves her new tank :)

Qwerfgh Qwerty - 9 years ago

That is not a female betta.

BetterBetta - 9 years ago

No worries! She doesn't look like the average female so it would be easy to mistake without really having her in front of you to study and research :)

Qwerfgh Qwerty - 9 years ago

Oh... >.< Oops...

Thanks! I have a sorority, so I should be able to tell the difference. facepalm

BetterBetta - 9 years ago

You're certainly not the only person that thought that! Even when I bought her I was wondering if the pet store made a mistake while selling her. However after a lot of research, I determined she WAS in fact a female. She has a very prominent ovipositor (can be seen in that beginning clip where I show my tank), her ventral fins are thin opposed to knife-shaped, she has no "beard" while flaring and she - although this is not a determining factor- has never blown a bubble nest. She is also pretty pale in colour (but again, not a determining factor). Her long fins are definitely a point that causes confusion, although they are still shorter compared to my males'. I guess she's just special :) I may have also found her with eggs once. She was very bloated despite her low diet (I had just gotten her) and her belly was very white. Other female fish owners said it sounded like she was eggy. So, long story short, she is definitely female, but almost everyone who sees her thinks otherwise until they find her egg spot :)

Qwerfgh Qwerty - 9 years ago

Egg spots have nothing to do with anything. Ovaries are not visable.

quixoticmantis - 9 years ago

Beautiful little setup! I just got this very tank...hopefully I'll get it set up for my little Tyrion in a day or so :) Can't wait for more videos

BetterBetta - 9 years ago

Thanks! It's a pretty nice tank, she loves it too :)

Paris Jean - 9 years ago

BetterBetta - 9 years ago

Brooky-Lynn - 9 years ago

I really like her tank! I really like the little pink pineapple! I think that's my favorite! Great video as always!!

BetterBetta - 9 years ago

Thank you! I think that's my favourite part, too :)

JC Fish Family - 9 years ago

awesome video. journey is so gorgeous and her home is as well!

BetterBetta - 9 years ago

Thank you!

Bella and Bettas - 9 years ago

OH MY GOODNESS!!! Journey is so pretty! This whole time i thought she was male until i saw her gravid spot:D:D Anyways, I love your tank:)

Bella and Bettas - 9 years ago

+BetterBetta wow! Yeah, I don't blame you for looking twice!

BetterBetta - 9 years ago

Thank you! Honestly when I got her home I had begun questioning if she was actually female - but after a closer look I noticed all the characteristics of a female so I knew she was in fact a girl :)

Blazing Bettas - 9 years ago

her fins are so long!! She is truly gorgeous though! Congrats on 60 subs! This was such a great video! Journey is a lucky girl

BetterBetta - 9 years ago

Thank you so much ! :)

I love the clam in her tank! I was going to get that for my male betta but decided to go with something more manly haha!!! great video

Kate V - 9 years ago

One question.. Do you use aquarium salt for your betta's tanks? Or did you ever use it when you had them in one gallon bowls?

BetterBetta - 9 years ago

Thanks, I love it too! I also wanted to get it for my males at one point, but also always ended up getting the shipwrecks and stuff like that for them. So when I got my female I went pink crazy :)

BusyBettas - 9 years ago

Wow! That's the longest tail i've seen on a female betta! I had to look twice, but she definitely has an egg spot, lol. Awesome video!

BetterBetta - 9 years ago

Yep, lots of people see her fins and are confused :) But yes, her ovipositor is VERY noticeable !
