Setting up my new betta fish tank
Вставка

- 1) Heater (Optional)
Is not necessary if you live in a tropical countries.
(I am living in Malaysia and the water temperature is around 25°-28°). If you live in a countries with four seasons, you will be needed a heater.
2) Air pump (Optional)
Is not necessary to have an air pump. Betta fish can survive without an air pump because they have a special respiratory organ called a labyrinth. Therefore, they just need very small amounts of oyxgen. If you are keeping betta fish with other types of fish, then you will be needed an air pump.
3) Aquarium filter (Optional)
I don't install a filter because I do changes the water regularly. (Twice a week, 50% of the water every time). If you install a filter, please make sure the water flow is not too strong because they like calmer waters.
NOTE:
Acclimate your fish before placing it into the tank.
Bad water condition, stress or hungry will lead to Betta fish jump out from the tank.
Healthy Fish: Swimming around.
Unhealthy Fish: Sinking at the bottom or hiding always. - Домашні улюбленці та дикі тварини
Please read description for more information. Thanks.
Can I known big stone name and what type of soil i wank to make it for my room
Ok
You should do an update of your betta.
@@waiyanvlog987 just pls get a tank 5 times that size .That is minimum for a betta fish
ThinFrog ur tank is 5 times smaller than the minimum tank size for a betta . Not to mention u dont have a filter, enough plants and hides . Hv u thought abt where its gonna sleep, where it will hide if it gets spooked or will it jump ?
I advise people watching this and the person that made this to add a filtration system with that small of a tank with hardly any plants.
appreciate that this man is putting a nice decently environment for it and is atleast trying and not just having him in a jar
Although the tank is a little small, the tank overall is beautiful and has the supplies for the fish to live a thriving life! That’s a really gorgeous Plakat btw. I’ve never seen so many colors on one before!
Very nice koi betta 👌 for 15 months that's a strong and active fish. I like the simple setup too
Me too
gorgeous Betta..and nice little setup👍
Your betta is stunning !
To bad it can’t be put in the right environment.
That betta is beautiful.
your bettas are absolutely amazing, came here from video 2 betta jumping🙂
Your tank is beautiful I like simple designs like this
I personally try to offer my fish a good life. This means, specially with bettas, lots of real plants and some companions they don’t attack (Nerite, shrimps). They get bored easily. I would not want to spend my life in an empty prison where I would have no privacy, nor would I wish this life for someone else. Fish do have emotions, they are just more instinct-driven and their feelings are not as complex as human feelings.
You sound like a good fish keeper who won't put his fish in a bowl
Brilliant comment. It’s so refreshing to see someone who genuinely cares about the welfare of their fish!
Thank you oh my god. I swear you’re the only sensible one here.
Great to see your comment, i also felt the same way whenever i see bettas kept in those small cups at the stores
blah blah and blah you sound like people who buy an apartement for your betta fish, i'm kidding, i agree with you too anyway
What a lovely betta:)
I also like simple decorating! Love it!!!
Not good, dont love it. They need way more plants and hides to thrive. Not to mention, this is too small!
easilyoffended vegan I can see that your easily offended 😂
@@AlijahLeexZooGang yes
It's beautiful but lacks of plants, especially surface plants, bettas don't love intense light :^)
Who cares you idiot just set up your own betta tank loser noob

Thats true, maybe he should add frogbit or floating plants else
@@PROgaming-rt5ul woooww easy boy 😄
It might be a bit smaller for such a beautiful koi betta, the guy could be happier on 5 gallon size tank, it certainly will give the guy a better movements and more longer lifespan, just a friendly reminder
Not neccessary to have 5 gallons please.
@@bensontan7409 really
@@bensontan7409 5 gallons is a must...people say 2.5 is enough but 5 gallon is better and a must for betta
@@bensontan7409 Yes it is, a beta can survive in a 2.5 gallon, but keyword is SURVIVE. If you want a happy, healthy, THRIVING fish, you'll need at least a 5-6 gallon tank
@@JoyDJoyDjoy Nah. Is not a must to have 5 gallons. We in southeast asia kept them in 1 or 2 gallons tank and it striving. I kept them nearly 3 years already. Please watch the betta competition that are held in thailand, malaysia or singapore to have a bettter understanding of it. Thank you.
Thats a nice simple idea thx for the advice
Nice decorations and healthy Betta fish I like both....
Hii Malaysian here. It's glad to see people not keeping bettas in cups since they are just sold in them in pasar malam and all sorts of places. I don't have a heater and filter too.
Because my betta is a gift (ridiculous) I didn't have big budgets so I just got a food storage container that was about 2 gallons. Not vry nice but big enough for the betta.
Malaysian here too, woot!
Thank god i saw this betta video i was sick for 2 days straight and my brain was not working right thanks to this video i remembered to feed my betta
BS
Beautiful Betta fish there. I got one the other day. They are some of the most easy fish to maintain.
I’m boutta get one tomorrow!
@Victory Tom silk plants? Betta leaf? You can give them some anubias or amazon swords, the betta leaf can kill him if it’s to sharp or it can put a lot of toxic paint in the water. Much more? They are the easiest fish to take care of. They at least need 2.5 gallon, you give them some wood and they could use it as a place to hide. Also is better to give them real plants like the anubia in the vid or the amazon swords it also works as a bed for them. You miss a lot of things, like the water cycle, the anti chlorine.
Btw if u put real plants make sure to give them a rich substrate with vitamins and if u could give them a fertilizer
Very cool I like your vids I’m going to try some of your decorations
what decorations - there's only an 'orrible great big (as the betta sees it) rock stuck in the middle
I like your betta fish
Wooow koi betta is georgeous fish
Your betta koi is stunning
I love ur tank & ur Betta fish
I have a koi betta just like this but he’s yellow instead of orange. I’d love this orange one
Galaxy Koi Betta??
I had a metallic white one with metallic blue fins. He also had a saphire coloured coating on his eyes.
Your betta its beautiful
How Pretty!💚
That’s a beautiful batta oml
I like Plakat bettas 💜
Ur koi Betta is very lucky.... 👌🏻👍🏻❤👏🏻🤘🏻
manjula naik he’s not the tank is too small the water is not cycled long enough and the fish can’t be just dumped into the aquarium like this
@@showjjumper thanks for opening my eyes...but I would change its water 💧every week and the tank also looks good 😇
*Stunning Betta Fish*
This video is oddly satisfying
This kind of tank would be a much better set up for bettas in stores compared to the little cups they're kept in but as permanent housing I'd go with smth larger, especially something longer for more horizontal swimming space and more decor/plants and places to hide or explore
Too much space needed for so many bettas. The reason why you buy your betta is to make them healthier and better. The cups are used to sell them in a massive scale, if you use this much space foe each betta, you're actually wasting plenty of opportunitiest to sell other fishes
@@SorianoK16 what about the walls filled with tanks and fish already in pet stores?? They already clearly have enough space, plus females can be kept in sororities which will save space given they can be kept multiple to a tank
@@kirbykinnie3691 They can't be kept together in a tank. The stores would have to keep 1 single betta in each tank, so it'd take up the space for other species. (The 1 tank they'd use for 1 betta could've housed 6 tetras or 8 guppies).
@@izzywasabi I have a female bettas sorority in my own house and I've done a lot of research on them. Most females can be kept together in large groups but males and females and more than one male together won't work and I'm aware of that.
Yup and usually stores sell more males than females because people prefer pretty fins and tails
get rid of Mount Everest and put some plants in. You've got a beautiful fish - give it something interesting to do all day, every day for the rest of it's life. You can get some quality plastic plants and your betta will be so much happier. A couple of plant pots with the bottom knocked out and you'll see how curious and smart (for a fish) they are. And without the rock your tank could be just big enough. See comments from Analogue below
Couldnt agree more
fish in general are actually pretty smart. last year in japan a small fish passed the mirror test, wich many scientists judge to be the "gold standard"for testing animal self awarness. before he passed it only large primates, dolphins, elephants, and magpies had passed the test
Mount Everest...savage😂😂
EXCELLENT JOB I LOVE BETTA FISH TANK GREETING FROM ARGENTINA
Betta looking great
He needs to add filter/heater and also he didn’t let the betta acclimatise to the water
Maybe no heater since it's an aquarium in a hot country, but WTF he just dumped him in there like a sardine?! Could they not lower the glass into the water so he might swim out? Also, whats up with not cycling the tank? (ESPECIALLY since there is no filter) Looks a lot like style took priorty over the bettas needs here...
Ik, there are to many things wrong with this
What is the filter name plzz
That's the most beautiful beta I've ever seen! Looks like a koy pattern, color.
They r called plakat
Ikr
suka banget lihat lampu nya . aquarium ikan cupang yang simple tapi keren
Wonderfull betta!!!
I also keep Koi Bettas, and I think they are the most beautiful to look at and adore. Along with their curious and interactive natures, they're(bettas in general) the best!
Just a tip: more plants will make it more beautiful, especially when Betta's don't love direct light :) (beautiful Betta by the way)
great set up
Your betta tank is beautiful 😁👌
yes in malysia you dont need heater but i would add a filter and more plants
This tank is way to small for that fish, plus it doesn't have any hideouts
Kuba K No it’s not actually
@@Ummmmmkay88 betta fish need at least 5 gallons of water to live a long and happy life
Squirrelflight the Warrior No they don’t, I breed and keep all my betta In 2.5 gallon tanks with sponge filters and they are very happy. Please take your betta police BS somewhere else.
this tank size is enough for them.
@@Ummmmmkay88 I was just trying to say the bigger the better. While your bettas might be able to live in 2.5 gallons, I can assure you that they'd thrive in a larger tank, as would any fish you can own
Wow this is amazing😃
when i saw your betta i was like OOO THICKKKK
This looks very nice however you should get a heater and filter for this tank. Also, the minimum recommended tank size for any betta is 5 gallons. So I highly recommend upgrading to a larger size especially since you have a king betta!!!
Did you not read the description😩
@@littledoopsie the tank still isn’t big enough
@@maryurigonzalez397 i was talking about the heater and filter but idk about you, this person's betta look so healthy in other videos im sure it’s well taken care of even tho the aquarium is small?
@@littledoopsie I mean I guess so but it needs a bigger tank just cause it’s small doesn’t mean it’s supposed to be in a small tank
@@maryurigonzalez397 yeah i do agree..
Also you might like simple decoration but bettas don't. Bettas love to have a lot of *live* plants to hide in. Plastic plants can cut their fins if you do use fake plants get silk plants
Thank you. Finally someone who KNOWS about betta and is not only about " oh ot looks so beautiful "
It's the bettas home for a lifetime so it HAS to fit their conditions. We are responsible for giving our fish a suitable happy and healthy home
You’re right Arline
That koi betta is so beautiful
It really is and it kinda looks like a king betta because it looks a little bigger
Your betta is very beautiful 😍
Fish tank too~👍👍👍
HES SO CUTE
@Pulak Sinha he
@Pulak Sinha he
He should add a sponge filter
Wow... A big thumbs up for a neat and clean finished glass tank.
Me too love simple deco.
Betta fish tank 👍
heyy your tank is great! but a betta needs more hiding places :)
Beautiful Betta 😍😍😍
Nice betta fish
Actually to be honest my bait is prefer it when I don't use the filter and so I stopped using them all together.
I'm an American living in Taiwan and the only thing that occasionally they might need is a heater but even my fish were able to adapt.
They basically just need clean water and plants and a good amount of gravel or aquarium soil.
I have some red and green stem plants and mostly a newbius I have Driftwood and hardscape and it seems fine.
I have one beta he doesn't even really like swimming so he's in probably a 2.5 gallon.
living in Taiwan all my tanks are curved and wide. Don't think there's anything wrong with a small tank as long as the fish is small for example maybe it's a baby or a female but is small
From what I found it just depends on the beta almost every short friend beta they swim all the time I'd recommend at least a 5 gallon if you can afford it if you can't at least a 3 gallon.
how do you know your fish don't like filters?
@@Shivainsan my betas and they don't swim very well normally with a filter . If it's a smaller tank and the fish is older he or she sort of gets carried around from the filter even if I put a sponge over it but if I don't use the filter they'll just swim happily
They like the filter if they lean up against it but when it's on yeah it's really not helpful for them
Even the lowest setting I can't really have them swim happily.
Guppies like the filter. I have to filter setup and I do run them but not very long.
Only thing that matters is the waters clean it doesn't smell and they have enough room to swim
THE FISH IS BEAUTIFUL😍
it is s really cool Betta
i really love your koi betta.. 😍😍😍
it could also be good for fry
You should get a filter or a heater for your tank. You can find cheap filters at petsmart, but the heaters can be pricy. It’s worth it tho. Bettas need a filter and a heater to be happy, and to keep them healthy
Not true read the description
Douglas Bray betta fish need heaters
Bella Fowers well it depends on which country you live in.
I live in a VERY hot country,and a heater would probably roast my betta
The betta looks happy. In fact I live in a tropical country. Even though my fishes have no filter, I do big water changes every fri
@@andifishgallery9400 exactly!
这是斗鱼吗？ 真是太漂亮了，布景也很厉害！ 加油UP
Cool fish 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Very simple yet so elegant.
Just because you like simple decorations doesn't mean your poor betta does. Need to get more plants in there, and some kind of shelter for him to hide out and chill.
Plus the tank is not even 5 gallons or more
@@Winnin737 yeah it’s literally 1.5
Get a job
@@procrast3800 Okay, good idea!
Woah there
This tank is perfect for small fish
But for beta
Nah if recommend neocardina shrimp
Very relaxing video
nice setup.. beautiful..
That tank needs a filter, no matter how many water changes you do, if you can't afford one then at the very least fill it to the brim with plants
This guy is right fully stock it with plants
@@hazz3853 if densely planted it would be fine right?
@@ainumairah5410 plants are hella expensive tho so you'd probably be better off just buying a filter
@@los7nanos503 yeah just realized that after buying plants.. :/ should've have setup a simple tank like this with filter 🙂
If you are not adding filter so add plants but it must cover 40% of the aquarium
wow
Nice betta
Very nice koi Bettafish
This actually frustrates me! Don't copy this person.
1. A betta fish needs MORE than a 5.5L tank.
2. It needs a lid because it can, and will, jump out. - once he does that when you're not home or asleep; dead.
3. Use a filter. Even if you clean regularly; you don't just want the fish to survive, you want the fish to enjoy his home.
4. More plants. People talk about betta fish being able to breath air from the surface, but that should be an emergency measure when there's a lack or oxygen.
Remember, these fish didn't choose to be your pet. You took it home. So you better make damn sure they have a paradise to live in or you shouldn't keep them.
My tank have no filter but I have a lot of plants inside it and I added co2 everyday plus I have Bamboo shrimp to filter feed the algae and the left over food.
My bettas never jumped. They jump because of poor water condition, if the water is clean they won’t jump
It will only jump out if it's too stressed in the environment it's in. If yours tried to, you did something very wrong.
Betta fish are naturally very playful fish, people here saying there fish have never jumped, sorry, but your fish could be depressed or bored. Try putting a small mirror in, only for ten minutes because too long and it can stress your betta, but this will encourage him to flare and provide him with something other than swimming in circles.
Finally someone knows what they do
Plot twist:don’t have chlorine remover?just use mineral water
Nice fish☺️
Your channel is very good
Hey hey hey, everyone chill, yes this tank maybe isn’t the best, but it’s also 100x better than a lot of tanks and also better taken care of than a lot of tanks, so maybe he could upgrade, but plenty fish live in a lot worse
That's no excuse.
Glad someone spoke up. All these professional betta breeders just harpin on ole boy. Dang, just say something nice and keep it moving.
I can tell your new to fish because no fish should be kept in something smaller then 2 gallons!!
Ya it's for sure gonna write its congressman
Actually it's five gallons minimum.
@@cegspace5033 it's controversial
Some bettas actually get stressed out in larger tanks
But 2 gallons is ABSOLUTE minumum
i love this. very simple yet elegant. thanks for this idea.
Beautiful
You should still get a heater the water will be a lot colder than what the temp is outside. I live in an area where it gets to be 37° celsius and the water still a bit too cold. It's fine if you don't have a filter but you're just creating more work for yourself 🤷🏼♀️I really hope you did the nitrogen cycle before adding the fish.
in south east asia we don't use heater and we are living in tropical country is hot most of the day. My friend put heater that killed his betta fish that got cooked. Temp maintain 25.5° and 26.5 C also use 2 in 1 room and water thermometer. Most of us don't put filter but will do water change 2 time per week. CT and HM betta every 3 days. We prepare aged water with Ketapang aka Indian almond leaves, water conditioner and aquarium salt, Stir well apply water pump to flow the aged water to break down all the tap water chemical.
Well I did buy a heater for my Betta, I live in Malaysia, same as the channel owner, and I can tell you, my heater never turn on because the water temperature already at 29c, you can use the heater if you put your Betta in an air conditioned room.
@@nakazatotakeshi4286 for real, sometimes even WITHOUT a heater, my betta tank reach 31℃. I was like what the heck? Malaysia is really hot, especially in the summer. I always worried about the warm weather here will cook my betta alive lol
@@bettaloversingapore3715 why everyone says "In AsIA wE DO ThIS"
@@kozma9736 what you mean?
Where did you get that aquarium ?
Beautiful fish 👍
Soo simple soo cute💜💜
This tank is very small for a betta fish. They need a heater and a filter, especially with a light shining down because that will produce algae. That is a beautiful fish, pls upgrade so it can thrive 💕 50% water changes every week can be stressful on your fish so you really do need a filter. As well as a heater even if you live somewhere warm.
Makenzie Stillman they don’t need a filter or a heater, some people do but they live in slow moving waters and I think having a filter stresses them out and a heater, they are hardy fish and can live in any water temperature
Tracey Finnigan every fish needs one
Tracey Finnigan omg... you are to dumb to poop let a side taking care for a fish...
FISH NEEDS A FILTER! Filter is their source of air. It’s very important. Also they need a heater. They are tropical fishes that need a pacific temperature. Do your research before replying to someone’s comment.
@@lizziewilliams6394 I understand that betta fish are tropical fish and need a certain temperature to be maintained ( 75 to 80 degrees Fahrenheit ) but we also need to consider the temperature variables in this case. A filter is not a source of air for betta fish, they have an organ that lets them breathe air and form bubble nests all a filter does is clean the water but a very disruptive flow can stress them out hence a overflow filter with a smooth and low flow is used but is not absolutely mandatory if the water changes are consistently done.
Very nice video, but tank too small and way not enough plants for a betta.
Very beautiful fish!!!!!!!!!! Koi Betta!? Wowwww
Beta fish so beautyful
Nice but the tank looks too small for the fish
Its betta fish lmao
@@prettyflacko4509 Yeah, it needs space to swim around
May i ask what do you use as foods , vitamins for your betta?
i love your betta
39 / 5 000
it's not enough you need at least 20l
He’s pretty fish🐟
When you put that Betta . At that time she got
injury due to that rock
Bruh. He did not even put the fish on the rock. Stop trying to find mistakes in everyone
hahahahahaha
