    As someone who currently owns betas, has owned betas, and has studied both wild and captive betas, a five gallon tank is the REQUIRED MINIMUM, in nature they live in gigantic heavily planted bodies of water(think rice fields)

    Paul no the minimum size for a betta fish is 5 gallons. Next time get that. Other than that love the idea of the video. Instead of using sharp rocks use ones that are more rounded but it would be even better if you could fluval stratum or something like that so the plants could grow better (and top it off with sand) to make it look more nicer. For example, if you are struggling or need some help. Do some more research before buying this. (FFT). And also you have to cycle your tank before putting your fish in. So the beneficial bacteria can grow and flourish in your tank. One great additive would probably be an Amano shrimp just in case some algae will grow. Those things will wipe any algae out specifically hair algae.

    Paul, the plants that you put in are Java ferns and they only grow on a piece of wood or stone. If you put them in substrate like you did then all the plants will die. Also I would recommend a little bit of a bigger tank for a betta fish. Hope that it maybe helped you a bit

    Paul, I have been watching you since you dug your first pond at your parent's house. From the good old days of mollies and platies. You have grown so much. I am happy that you are spreading happiness onto people. But every time you plant java ferns into substrate, it hurts me buddy. The java ferns, the windelov fern, the narrow leaf fern, They are epiphytes. they can't die if you tie them onto a piece of rock or a drift wood. But they will if you plant them like this... Come on man.. That aside, love what you do.
