Very nice. I got the same dumbo as yours

Mark Cena - 7 years ago

I have the submersible thermometer too, but the suction cup on mine got a lot of slimy white stuff on it after a few days. Did this happen to you too? What should i do? (i currently have the thermometer floating around the tank and not in the suction cup.)

Greets! I was hoping you could clarify something about the Marina Betta Heater -
I've been reading reviews online and most are indicating that this heater does not have an auto shutoff and some have had their tanks overheating above 80F. Have you had any issues with this? What would you recommend doing to ensure a small 1 gallon cube (it's temporary) doesn't get too warm?
Thanks in advance!!

Lifewithpets - 7 years ago

The tanks I keep them in are 2.5 gallons. It may make a difference in a much smaller tank. If you're not comfortable using it I wouldn't risk it.

Svartr - 7 years ago

Lifewithpets Thanks for the response! I'm just concerned about some reviews claiming temps going up to 90°+. But if you've not experienced anything like that, then I feel more comfortable considering it as a temp emergency heater (ambient temperature is just not keeping my betta warm enough now). Thanks again!

Lifewithpets - 7 years ago

The heater doesn't have an auto shut off but is preset to 78f. Bettas like temperatures from 78-84F.

Altzercrast - 7 years ago

I have the Zacro Heater is Works great. Mine tends to heat up more than it is set at so like 78 it warms to 82 So I usually set it at 76.

Stephanie Oh - 7 years ago

hello, would you recommend those heaters in plastic tanks? I want to get a heater for my 3.5 gallon tank but I'm not sure if I could use those heaters in plastic tanks.

Christopher Garcia Venegas - 7 years ago

Stephanie I have the marina betta fish heater in my 1.5 gallon tank and it's plastic and it's doing very well

Lifewithpets - 7 years ago

I'm not sure as I've never had a plastic aquarium.

eduardo HIdalgo - 7 years ago

What are the floating plants in the "Disaster tank" called?

Lifewithpets - 7 years ago

It's water lettuce.

Khatera Naibi - 7 years ago

I have a 3 gallon tank..which heater do you suggest?

Ella V - 7 years ago

Khatera Naibi did you figure out which one your going to use? I'm still unsure

Lifewithpets - 7 years ago

We use the marina Betta heater for our 2.5 gallons but I'm not sure whether it would be enough for 3 gallon.

Hello! So, I just got my 2.5 gallon betta tank all set up, but I still have a few questions. One, I currently have a zebra nerite snail and my crowntail betta. I was wondering if I could put anything else in with the snail and betta? Two, After my last water change, my tank has become a bit cloudy. I did a bit of research, and it said that this could be a poor rinse job of the gravel. Lastly, I was a little worried about my betta because he kept sitting in my plants, and on top of my heater. Is this normal? Thanks.

Lifewithpets - 7 years ago

Congratulations on your new tank and betta. A 2.5 gallon is great for a betta and snail but too small to add any other fish etc. It could be not having rinsed the tank well or it could be new tank syndrome either way it will clear over time. Bettas should be fairly active but it is normal for them to rest on items in the tank. As long as he's not bottom sitting and is eating well it may just be the change to his new tank.

DebTim A CANADIAN Girl - 7 years ago

Hi ... I really like the Marina cubes... good products!

DebTim A CANADIAN Girl - 7 years ago

I agree. Somethings work well for some but not others.. and they fish even though they are the same are different too. I appreciate you view point! It's unfortunate when people have to get aggressive about it. Such is life. Thanks for the encouragement and support.

Lifewithpets - 7 years ago

As you say opinions are diverse and that's whats so good about this hobby. We can respect each others view points whilst not necessarily agreeing.

Lifewithpets - 7 years ago

Marina do have some good products but I'd have to agree to disagree with you on the cubes. I think they're way to small for any fish. People often use these for bettas because they're under the misconception that they live in small puddles but this is just not true. Their water ways are actually quite large. There's no room for a filter or heater and at the very least they need a heater unless like me you live somewhere hot and can hold a constant temperature of 78-80f. For the price of them in the USA you can buy a full 10 gallon tank set up. Anyway I didn't set out to write an essay and of course this is just my opinion .....lol!

Miikmik - 7 years ago

My Betta have a white lump on its side, do you happen to know what that is?

Lifewithpets - 7 years ago

It's possibly a tumor but it's difficult to say. If you have Instagram DM me a picture.

Dimas Fish Diary - 7 years ago

I thank to God that I life in the tropic. But I do buy heater for the other in my room. If you in Indonesia, Amaria product is better for cheaper price.

veiltailed - 7 years ago

Thanks.

Cit Laly - 7 years ago

3:17 he looks just like mine

Lifewithpets - 7 years ago

He was in the divided tank but since moving him he seems to have stopped and his fins are healing.

Cit Laly - 7 years ago

Oh I just noticed his tail. Has he been nipping?

CharmingBettas - 7 years ago

My absolute favorite heater is the Hydor Submersible heater. It is so reliable and efficient, as well as adjustable! I have it in both of my betta tanks. Great video by the way!

EmberInWonderland - 7 years ago

What are the mushrooms made of ? Is that poly?

Lifewithpets - 7 years ago

Polyform sculpery 3.

Pink Bettas - 7 years ago

Yes! I also watch Solid Gold and her channel is just amazing! I really recommend her channel if anyone is starting to consider to keep goldfish or Bettas. :)

Puppypop 101 - 7 years ago

Loved the video! And I did see the video from solid gold about the seed shrimps, they are really fascinating!!

Lifewithpets - 7 years ago

I loved the fact she put them under the microscope, so cool to see them.

Stephanie Nelson - 7 years ago

Lifewithpets - 7 years ago

Yes, this is a very common misconception which we and many other fish channels are trying to change one video at a time! Thanks!

Purplesnowball 13 - 7 years ago

My absolute favorite heater is the Tetra HT Submersible Aquarium Heater. It is preset to 78 degrees, and it has a green light to show its on, and when its actually heating the water, the light is red. It is very cheap (like almost $9 on Amazon), but amazing quality I think. My friend has the Great Choice Mini Aquarium heater from PetSmart, and its horrible in her 2.5. It can get down to 70 degrees in there even when the heater is on. All that to say, if any of you guys are looking for a good heater, I totally recommend the Tetra HT Submersible Aquarium Heater. Also, I live in a climate that gets very cold in the winter. Works amazingly :)

Lifewithpets - 7 years ago

I didn't want to say it in the video but this is the brand we got that was terrible for us. We got 3 of them and I returned all 3. Our house doesn't get cold and it couldn't even get the temperature to 74f it was awful. The ones I got are not expensive at all, $9 I think with the added bonus of the temperature can be changed and is not preset. Yes, Theo is very happy with all the space! He's so active.

Purplesnowball 13 - 7 years ago

Theo seems to be liking his extra space! What a handsome boy! :)

My female betta, Mandy has been tail bitting, and the fins aren't healing on there own!!! IF you an get back to me, please do!!! Thanks!!!

Donna - 7 years ago

Honeysimmer Really depends on your bettas character and the type of tank you have set up with what and how many you can accommodate for. Most times it's a learning curve with finding suitable tank mates, I'm lucky enough to have many tanks with an array of different fish species to try out, and if it doesn't work then I've got another tank I can put those fish in instead. But like I said, some bettas won't tolerate other fish while some do. Since my last comment I've got another Betta who does share his tank with 3 platies, the 3 guppies, a male sailfin Molly and a WCMM that was being bullied by his group, haven't had any problems with this one whereas my other Betta was scared to death and hid in the corner.

Honeysimmer - 7 years ago

Donna what type of fish do you think would be best then?

Donna - 7 years ago

Greetje Buijert-Nijdam Guppies are listed as suitable tank mates (females as males are brightly coloured) BUT really it does depend on the character of the Betta if I'm honest. I tried 3 female guppies and my Betta hid in the corner for 4 days till I took the guppies out. I then tried with Lampeye which he wanted to eat so they got quickly removed. He shares his 10g tank with 5 Amano shrimps now, mine will always be a loner.

Another thing about guppies is, they are known to nip long flowing find/tails though so just be aware, it's the same with Neon tetras although they are also listed as suitable tank mates too if given the correct sized tank.

Greetje Buijert-Nijdam - 7 years ago

Can a betta with guppys?

emz saturdays - 7 years ago

Tyla's Tank Center omg I watch your videos I love them ❤️

Lifewithpets - 7 years ago

I agree with Donna, almond leaves are ideal, however are you sure it's fin biting. Females fins are short so it's almost impossible for them to reach them to bite them. Could it be fin rot?

Donna - 7 years ago

Tyla's Tank Center Get some Indian Almond Leaves, many health benefits for fish to healing wounds, antiseptic properties, good bacteria etc etc, Google them. You can buy them cheap on Amazon. Must have for every aquarist.
