real betta tank not a cup

DickyT - 12 years ago

Thank you! the tank is currently down. After my son was born I lacked the time to keep it pristine. At the first algae bloom I got it sorted and gave the betta and the plants to a friend and stored the tank until my son does not require so much attention. When he is old enough to appreciate it I will set it back up with a fishless cycle with new plants so the family can enjoy a small beautiful aquascape in the living room. I will start a 250 gal reef in the man cave then too!

well done ;)

DickyT - 12 years ago

I got the light and the bulb at target. I am not using a standard tank light. It is a sunlight spectrum compact florescent that is in an architects desk lamp.

DickyT - 12 years ago

He was not a $1 fish, the tank price is close. It is not about the 1 fish, well a little, I like them to have a nice home, but it is about the aquascape and the live plants to me, and being able to have a beautiful, relaxing water feature.

DickyT - 12 years ago

no, you need to use aquatic grasses, regular grass can not live submerged.

Pure4Kicks - 12 years ago

probably Walmart fish section ;) that's where I get mine.

@techniicolours No, it is an All-Glass 5.5, tank came alone. Filter is a Marineland Penguin 100 with a homemade flow deflector made form a soda bottle. Heater is a Marineland Stealth 25.

Doing it right! A nice size aquarium for an Betta.

@GTroutman896 Thank you! The tank has a Penquin 100 with a flow deflector made from a piece of soda bottle on the outlet. the heater is a marineland stealth 25.

GTroutman896 - 13 years ago

Love the setup! What are you using for a filter and heater?

Muhnazer - 13 years ago

Gorgeous aquascape! Your betta is a lucky fellow. Thanks for sharing.

eszereme3 - 13 years ago

It's so nice to see that you are giving your Betta a good home! So many Youtube videos are of Bettas in tiny bowls :(

@MsBettabits Thanks you, please share it!

swim swim ghost shrimp

DickyT - 13 years ago

@MrSummerisHOT It will do ok. If you can find a daylight spectrum fluorescent, it will do better.

timegrrl - 13 years ago

The Betta won't bother the shrimp?

3LD3VIL - 13 years ago

Brandi Travis - 13 years ago

@Deepsand101 mine dose the same thing my mom who use to breed bettas said its just in his personality

Litameena-chan - 13 years ago

@tekstyle373 Awesome! :D I didn't know they sold daylight bulbs at Target! I'll have to go there sometime! =] Thanks! =]

DickyT - 13 years ago

Thanks! I got the bulb at Target for $2.99 =]

Litameena-chan - 13 years ago

LOL the music! XD Your tank and betta are beautiful! <3 I love the plants you chose! =] Where did you find your 10 watt Daylight bulb? I can't find any. :(

DickyT - 14 years ago

@belliniable Thank you. Plant Zone is some cheap aquatic plant fertilizer that my LFS has. I get all my plants at my LFS, one of them has a great selection.

Josh Villafuerte - 14 years ago

what substrate is that? do you use fertilizers?

Wow, nice tank. I love how well planted it is :)

DickyT - 14 years ago

@Cybersix1980 Nothing fancy, just some leaf zone with each water change, all the plants are not picky

DickyT - 14 years ago

@MsBettaFish Shrimp need to be kept in groups of 3 or more, they are to be treated like schooling fish in that regard. 5+ is best for them. I feed them flake food twice a week, the rest of the time they graze algae

I have male 2 bettas each in a 5 gallon Hex tank...I love your aquarium setups...I think this one is my favorite....I also have been looking for that japanese lantern ornament.... I checked Petsmart online but they didn't have that design...Is it made of rock or plastic? How much did it cost?

saintsinningsword - 14 years ago

this shite is gay

DickyT - 14 years ago

@nosyiam I am partial to Marineland Stealth heaters, 25 watt in your 5 gallon will be fine, the 50 is overkill. They are fully submersible, and inside a plastic casing that makes them shatter proof!

nosyiam - 14 years ago

my heater in my 5 gallon half hex betta tank messed up will I was sleeping and boilded my male betta :-( I was thinking about getting a new heater and 2 female bettas any ideas........

DickyT - 14 years ago

@Litameena4chan Thank you =]

Litameena-chan - 14 years ago

The tank and it's inhabitants are GOREGOUS! =]

DickyT - 14 years ago

@teenie331 I have been lucky in this tank, not in the other. It depends on the personality of the betta. Zeus will give chase, but only killed one baby that he ate whole. The rest have been doing well for several months now.

DickyT - 14 years ago

@3mmerz - I did not remove anything. I just did not include the extending pieces. It sits perfectly upright. The only mods I made were to the outflow. I used a 1/2 of a soda bottle as a flow diffuser.

Petsmart

DickyT - 14 years ago

Thank you! He reacted very well to the change. immediately exploring. He lays on the moss ball often now, unless he notices people paying attention to the tank, then he swims like in the video.
