@@Catglittercrafts you shouldn't bury it, but you could put the rhizome (which is where the leaves come from) on top of the substrate, but never covered by substrate.
The Tank is beautiful but needs filtration or at least an air stone to keep the water moving + too small for a betta and a pleco! I wouldn't add anything with a betta in less than 5 gallon.
Do you think the tank shape is an issue because oxygen cant flow well because its round? Or is it perfectly fine (as in shape) because it doesnt have a top?
@@amantinamunoz2043 small bowls aren’t good but if it was a BIG BOWL (3-5gallon) then thats ok.. and if u dont want to add filter then lots of plants are the key (fast growing plants + floating plants) to help absorbing ammonia, nitrite and nitrate and oxygynate the tank. Plus a heater should be placed which is hard to find for bowl.

Agree, 90% of these plants and the fish are going to die. I think the pleco will kill the betta, as the tank is too small and theres no algae so the pleco will suck onto the betta who doesn't move a lot at night and injure it and stress it and the ammonia will eventually kill them both because theres too little water and nutrients those plants will die before they can work.

5 gallon is a good tank size for a beta but the 3 gallon will do ok, your gonna want a nutrient substrate maybe try Seachem Flourish, and I would try an otocinlus catfish instead of the pleco if you have to have a sucker in there, the tank looks awesome

@@michaelrasmussen9630 Thas has got nothing to do with it... Anubias and Java Fern are not supposed to be put in any substrate. You should attach them to hardscape but the roots (or rhizomes) should not be covered
Amazing video and tank as usual but this is only a temporary tank right? Because Long Fin Bettas need 10 gallons and that pleco will eventually need an upgrade fosho!! Love the vids!
Why do long fin bettas need a 10 gallon if they are terrible swimmers? Which is worse as they get older?? I have mine in a 5 gallon and I can’t afford an upgrade with filter and stuff rn, but I’m just curious
Paul first of all a pleco is an absolutely mistake for that small tank plecos get huge in one year it grew 1ft and 6inches I had to give it to a fish store so for a little bit it's good but you will have to move it is eventually and second yes plants are a biological filter but you still need an actual filter to help and assist those plants
Can’t help but be a tad disappointed that you don’t have filtration. Beta’s deserve filtration. Would you put one of your platinum red tails in a big pond with only plants as filtration? PLEASE- put root tabs at least in the sand so the plants have something to grow with. Sand in inert (as you know) and plants need something alive to live in. Anubis etc would be ok, but these guys needs nutrients!!!!! Common Paul 🤦🏻♀️
He lives in Florida so the climate is warm so no need for a heater and also if you want to put your betta in a tank with other fish (not another betta) than I recommend buying some ghost shrimp to test how aggressive your betta is if your betta is chasing the shrimp it means that your betta is aggressive and can not be kept in a tank with other fish if it doesn’t your betta is fine with other fish
@@collint5103 They have air conditioning though, to keep the tank about 80f then the room would need to be about 84f theres no way they keep their house that warm, thats unbarable heat.
Not necessarily. If he did everything right he won’t even have to do water changes and the plants will act as the filter. betta fishes breathe on top of the surface so they don’t need any surface agitation. Idk about the pleco tho, he should just move it because the tank is too small.
Just get a piece of driftwood and tie the Java fern and Anubias to it with fishing line! Probably no need for a heater in Florida but could use a little sponge filter. Also would be cool to have some pothos growing out the top and that will help filter out some of the nitrates. Without some surface agitation though, you will probably have a pretty thick protein film buildup with that pleco.
Dart frogs are such awesome pets you should definitely get some in the future you can make amazing enclosures for them as well would be awesome in the fish room

Ugh, okay, so this is so so wrong and I say it the nicest way possible. 1) Those plants need some sort of fertilizer, and no, fish poop doesn't cut it. (Get something like volcanic substrate.) 2) Java fern rhizomes cannot be buried or else the plant will rot from the bottom up. 3) Betta fish are tropical and need heaters that provide a constant temperature of 75-80 degrees Fahrenheit. 4) Can't tell if that's a dwarf pleco, but even dwarfs need an absolute minimum tank size of 10-15 gallons of water as well as a filter and wafer pellets because algae is not a constant source of food. 5) Your tank isn't cycled which can cause new tank syndrome where the nitrates suddenly spike killing all your fish. 6) Your tank is way too over stocked with that pleco who's going to cause your bioload to shoot through the roof. Replace him with some ghost shrimp instead. Edit: Completely forgot to say this but 7) plecos have been known to eat sleeping betta fish. Separate them asap.
@@connorsparks2593 Yeah, my sock video was for an amateur college film class and I actually got an A+ on it because the puppets were hand made. They had articulated fingers and could actually grab onto things. Quit dismissing someone's knowledge about something by bringing up an unrelated fact. (I also didn't know that posting a silly school project negates what someone knows about animal rights, but wow, you're a genius! Guess I could learn a lot from you!) If you actually care about this guy and what he does call him out for animal abuse.
You definitely need to add a little floating ring at the surface so that betta can surface to the water for air. Bettas need it. Also, the java ferns roots will rot and die when it’s dug into the substrate like that. Let it sit on the bottom. You should name that beautiful betta Griffin!! It looks like a male judging by the fans, and he also seems to have quite a bit of fan damage. I can’t wait to see his transformation in this amazing new tank!!💞👍
not sure about amazing... this tank does look a little nice but its not a good home for a betta at all, for starters it doesent have a heater or a filter, bettas like a higher temp of 78-82F, and without a filter the ammonia in that tank is going to be through the roof especially with the bioload of a betta and a pleco. Betta need a minimum tank of 5 gallons and this thing is not any bigger than 2. He didint cycle the tank at all or add any sort of beneficial bacteria so any of the waste that is produced by the betta and pleco will just kill the fish. Honestly ill be surprised if they last more then 2 weeks in that tank, the betta will probably jump out within a couple of days.
@@crid7391 it is a big deal which is why everyone is coming in to comment. New fishkeepers might just emulate paul and then fail because they don't have all the correct information.

Some of those plants need a nutrient based substrate for plants, smh. Also allot of those plants are gonna grow too big for that small tank. Another no no is you're putting fish in a tank that hasn't been properly cycled, smh.
@@kingGaming-ml3cn you don't need to have a filter to grow beneficial bacteria. Beneficial bacteria grows on everything within the tank, substrate, plants, wood etc.
I kept a beta in a large vase with a plant for almost 2-3yrs, he was given to us already spending almost a year with them. You would trim the roots a lot, but he liked to lie on the roots. He had no heat, other then in the kitchen window, and no filtration other then water changes. They do not swim around a lot, they sell leaves for them to rest on because they lie around a lot. That was the way you did it back then. The plant would put o2 in the water, but betas breathe through gills and can also breathe from the surface, they like to do both. Betas don’t like overly stirred water, and air stones can stress them out, so not a necessity either.
very cool fish tank Paul really nice with live plants in not plastic , and when you set up your fish room all of the tanks should have live plants that would make it look really good
would highly reccomend a lid for that tank. bettas can be a bit jumpy, so this would be a good idea. also, bristlenose plecos for a 3 gallon might not be a good idea......., but tank looks great!
The thumbnail literally shows a colorful blue and red full moon betta but it turned out to be a platinum. Anyways the bettas's cool and I enjoyed the vid.
Came back just to watch the old video back in the good old days when we still had the yeeeeeet and Suzanne was still alive and we had a cow!!!!!!! Man but we have came a long way
the set up wasnt that bad! I just recommend a bigger tank 5 gal minimum. make sure the duckweed is not covering the whole top surface of the water since bettas need to take breaths from the top. make sure to not put rhizome plnats like anubias or like your java fern into the substrate since the roots could rot with the plant. This wasn't as bad but there is always room for improvement:) ALSO for tankmates the tank should be a bit bigger or just without a tank mate at all. also get a filter and heater! bettas are tropical fish so water around 76-86 is optimal:)
Theres no water movement either, which is fine for the betta as a betta can breathe air from the surface or live in very low oxygenated water but the pleco needs water with decent oxygen especially a young one as they grow quick as although they can also breathe air they evolved to do it because they sometimes get stranded on land in the wild and need to wriggle to other areas of water they can't stick their heads out the top like a betta to gulp air they only breathe air when they are outside of water.
"... and my mom obviously doesn't know how to scape it " Obviously neither do you. Over four years of fish keeping and you still don't know the basics. Tragic
@@jacobwiseman1107 idk what your problem is either. Paul is making money of the video, he is not doing it just for fun. Don't like me commenting, well just shut up and accept it.

16:28 So that's where you get that from :)
Congratulations on 2 million!!!
I literally just turned on my iPad and the notification popped up! Best day ever!
The UA-cam gods have fallen upon me!
BRUH, same
You are such a kind hearted person. I love the channel keep it up
Thank you!
@@paulcuffaro respect on getting some live plants, but the plants wont live long especially since they're is no filter with no beneficial bacteria. And I recommend getting some otocinclis catfish since they produce less poop than plecos. I dont want the rotting plants and the amount of pleco poop poison the betta fish yfm? Gotta get some aqua soil for the plants and I recommend a 5 gallon for the betta but respect on the plants!
@@vsalt707 if there are rocks and other places like that where there is a large surface area it ok because the beneficial bacteria will live there too
@@vsalt707 he shouldnt even get fish for that tank its too small for basically any fish ! it looks like a 3g
@@oxdg827 true but tbh the aquarium shop I go to is an aquascape place but they have 3 gallons with guppies and they're breeding. I feel like it really just boils down to the maintenance yk? Not saying to shove a bunch of goldfish in a 3g just saying pick the right nano fish and do high maintenance
Maybe too much duck weed, either take some out or give her a feeding ring for it.
Lmao he acts like he knows everything but puts Anubias and Java fern in soil
No no no, I believe he has done plenty of research. This is clearly his simplified and perfected version of the Walstad method.
@@michaelrasmussen9630 Thas has got nothing to do with it... Anubias and Java Fern are not supposed to be put in any substrate. You should attach them to hardscape but the roots (or rhizomes) should not be covered
@@michaeldepaepe Sarcasm is really wasted on some people.
@@michaelrasmussen9630 sorry, wasn't sure if it was sarcasm or not ;)
@@michaeldepaepe It's ok, my sarcasm isn't always that transparent. :)
Yess let's go almost 2 million subs. Keep it up Paul. Love from South Africa.
pause, zoom in, taylor’s got a wedgie confirmed 2:43 btw my boys
Amazing video and tank as usual but this is only a temporary tank right? Because Long Fin Bettas need 10 gallons and that pleco will eventually need an upgrade fosho!! Love the vids!
thankyou. not enough people commenting this. very irresponsible of him to upload or even make this.
Why do long fin bettas need a 10 gallon if they are terrible swimmers? Which is worse as they get older?? I have mine in a 5 gallon and I can’t afford an upgrade with filter and stuff rn, but I’m just curious
Curved/round tanks are not good either. This video is upsetting 😢
The tank also have no filter and he never did the water cycle perfectly
@@thenameless7810 youll soon come to learn Paul basically knows nothing about fish lol
Paul first of all a pleco is an absolutely mistake for that small tank plecos get huge in one year it grew 1ft and 6inches I had to give it to a fish store so for a little bit it's good but you will have to move it is eventually and second yes plants are a biological filter but you still need an actual filter to help and assist those plants
But he has a pond....
He has a 9000g tank and 3 ponds chill they don’t grow in a instant
@@rashawnthegamingmaster8620 I know and I was just warning him that eventually you'll have to move it
@@goatieforever1013 you chill out I was only warning him Dupaco that grew foot-and-a-half a little over a year that's pretty quick
@@goatieforever1013 Naruto if you read my previous comment I mention that is good in there for a while but eventually he has to move it
So close to 2 mil!
Dude the betta are beautiful
Can’t help but be a tad disappointed that you don’t have filtration. Beta’s deserve filtration. Would you put one of your platinum red tails in a big pond with only plants as filtration?
PLEASE- put root tabs at least in the sand so the plants have something to grow with. Sand in inert (as you know) and plants need something alive to live in.
Anubis etc would be ok, but these guys needs nutrients!!!!! Common Paul 🤦🏻♀️
If they don't need it why buy it worry about your own tank
I’m more disappointed with the tank size 🤦🏽♂️
@@CDE. they do need it lol
❤We all gotta love our moms ❤
ANGEL is perfect name for that beta. It looks like ANGEL 👼. Rocky is my beta fish name 🐟
Me goes on Vacation and Paul Caffaro uploads 4 times.
u do realise that a majority of those plants need a nutrient rich substrate right?
You should call the beta fish ‘Lil P’ then it’s a baby Paul so you’re always with ur mum 😂
🙌Yes🙌
Betta
It won't survive long enough for a name
Make sure your mom knows to remove the some duckweed once it covers the entire tank, it will do that in like a week
I thought the beta fish need at least 25°C and a filtration and I'm not really sure if they can have another fish with them in the same tank.
Bettas need heat, and can do fine in a community tank, but there has to be enough room in the tank to handle the bio load from all the fish.
He lives in Florida so the climate is warm so no need for a heater and also if you want to put your betta in a tank with other fish (not another betta) than I recommend buying some ghost shrimp to test how aggressive your betta is if your betta is chasing the shrimp it means that your betta is aggressive and can not be kept in a tank with other fish if it doesn’t your betta is fine with other fish
@@collint5103 They have air conditioning though, to keep the tank about 80f then the room would need to be about 84f theres no way they keep their house that warm, thats unbarable heat.
They can’t be in a community tank because they are extremely territorial and are known to kill community fish..
@@senoc0926 of course they can be in a community tank. But the tank has to be large enough to easily accommodate the fish.
I can't stand the fact that this tank is CIRCULAR and so SMALL. Never get a betta if your tank is this small, circular or a bowl this is not safe.
cry
Forget about the Betta for a second and think about the pleco, lol.
NO ITS NOT ITS FINEE
Road to 2 million❤❤❤
The tank looks cool, but might need a bubbler for more aeration, and will need more water changes due to the filtration options, but it does look cool
Not necessarily. If he did everything right he won’t even have to do water changes and the plants will act as the filter. betta fishes breathe on top of the surface so they don’t need any surface agitation. Idk about the pleco tho, he should just move it because the tank is too small.
@@DG-cb5ft While they can breath on the surface, it's not entirely the best thing for the fish.
@@DG-cb5ft filters are important for water quality. Shape is important for fishes quality of life.😢
@@mandypdx i know that, but heavily planted tanks don’t need it. Plants absorb the toxic stuff
@@AzraelThanatos true. He can put a mini air pump because to much can stress Betta fishes
Bro Paul does 0 research when he makes his tanks lmao. Those plants are gunna die
Every youtubers: It's father's day surprise video
Meanwhile Paul : Let's surprise Mom ❤️
Love your videos man.
There gonna be siprised for sure when the plants died an the betta and pleco to
Ye
He should do more research on the fish and plants before he just buys them.
“Pleco likes to suck on wood constantly” 😂
Just get a piece of driftwood and tie the Java fern and Anubias to it with fishing line! Probably no need for a heater in Florida but could use a little sponge filter. Also would be cool to have some pothos growing out the top and that will help filter out some of the nitrates. Without some surface agitation though, you will probably have a pretty thick protein film buildup with that pleco.
Still supporting from 2years from now🇵🇭❤️❤️❤️❤️
Dart frogs are such awesome pets you should definitely get some in the future you can make amazing enclosures for them as well would be awesome in the fish room

SOO CLOSE TO 2 MILL OMG!!
Aaw. Thats so awesome! Love your mom..she has a great spirit.😊❤️👍
Ugh, okay, so this is so so wrong and I say it the nicest way possible. 1) Those plants need some sort of fertilizer, and no, fish poop doesn't cut it. (Get something like volcanic substrate.) 2) Java fern rhizomes cannot be buried or else the plant will rot from the bottom up. 3) Betta fish are tropical and need heaters that provide a constant temperature of 75-80 degrees Fahrenheit. 4) Can't tell if that's a dwarf pleco, but even dwarfs need an absolute minimum tank size of 10-15 gallons of water as well as a filter and wafer pellets because algae is not a constant source of food. 5) Your tank isn't cycled which can cause new tank syndrome where the nitrates suddenly spike killing all your fish. 6) Your tank is way too over stocked with that pleco who's going to cause your bioload to shoot through the roof. Replace him with some ghost shrimp instead.
Edit: Completely forgot to say this but 7) plecos have been known to eat sleeping betta fish. Separate them asap.
Blah blah blah
Sorry fish tank guru
Dude the fishes life is in danger and this guy does this a lot with aquatic animals.
Bro mister fish guru here has 2 vids , one on socks
@@connorsparks2593 Yeah, my sock video was for an amateur college film class and I actually got an A+ on it because the puppets were hand made. They had articulated fingers and could actually grab onto things. Quit dismissing someone's knowledge about something by bringing up an unrelated fact. (I also didn't know that posting a silly school project negates what someone knows about animal rights, but wow, you're a genius! Guess I could learn a lot from you!) If you actually care about this guy and what he does call him out for animal abuse.
For all we know he could of moved the fish out after the video
You definitely need to add a little floating ring at the surface so that betta can surface to the water for air. Bettas need it. Also, the java ferns roots will rot and die when it’s dug into the substrate like that. Let it sit on the bottom. You should name that beautiful betta Griffin!! It looks like a male judging by the fans, and he also seems to have quite a bit of fan damage. I can’t wait to see his transformation in this amazing new tank!!💞👍
not sure about amazing... this tank does look a little nice but its not a good home for a betta at all, for starters it doesent have a heater or a filter, bettas like a higher temp of 78-82F, and without a filter the ammonia in that tank is going to be through the roof especially with the bioload of a betta and a pleco. Betta need a minimum tank of 5 gallons and this thing is not any bigger than 2. He didint cycle the tank at all or add any sort of beneficial bacteria so any of the waste that is produced by the betta and pleco will just kill the fish. Honestly ill be surprised if they last more then 2 weeks in that tank, the betta will probably jump out within a couple of days.
@@Gmte bruh everyone comes and criticizes Paul Why don’t you just leave him alone it’s not a big deal
@@crid7391 it is a big deal which is why everyone is coming in to comment. New fishkeepers might just emulate paul and then fail because they don't have all the correct information.
@@blammer I agree I think he should of left more room for the fish I followed what he said and all my fish but 3 died I felt horrible after that I think that at the beginning of the video he should explain that it’s not the best idea and that you should add a filter for filtration and a top so the betta can’t jump out
I love how thankful she is
Lots to be thankful for, dead fishes and a bad tank,lots to thank for

Some of those plants need a nutrient based substrate for plants, smh. Also allot of those plants are gonna grow too big for that small tank. Another no no is you're putting fish in a tank that hasn't been properly cycled, smh.
how are you gonna cycle that tank dosent have a filter
@@kingGaming-ml3cn you don't need to have a filter to grow beneficial bacteria. Beneficial bacteria grows on everything within the tank, substrate, plants, wood etc.

Cylinder tank looks dope!!
I kept a beta in a large vase with a plant for almost 2-3yrs, he was given to us already spending almost a year with them. You would trim the roots a lot, but he liked to lie on the roots. He had no heat, other then in the kitchen window, and no filtration other then water changes. They do not swim around a lot, they sell leaves for them to rest on because they lie around a lot. That was the way you did it back then. The plant would put o2 in the water, but betas breathe through gills and can also breathe from the surface, they like to do both. Betas don’t like overly stirred water, and air stones can stress them out, so not a necessity either.
So your saying you didn’t heat a tropical fish’s tank?
The right way to kill a fish ! Well done!
Do not be rude

very cool fish tank Paul really nice with live plants in not plastic , and when you set up your fish room all of the tanks should have live plants that would make it look really good
Doesn’t the pleco need an air stone
And space
The pleco if fed correctly will be half the length of the tank in about 1 year.
pleco needs a filter and a heater
just so you know
So does the betta lol

Wait I thought it was illegal to own it in Florida. Since it is invasive as well.
@@thenameless7810 it is
Came back just to watch the old video back in the good old days when we still had the yeeeeeet and Suzanne was still alive and we had a cow!!!!!!! Man but we have came a long way
the set up wasnt that bad! I just recommend a bigger tank 5 gal minimum. make sure the duckweed is not covering the whole top surface of the water since bettas need to take breaths from the top. make sure to not put rhizome plnats like anubias or like your java fern into the substrate since the roots could rot with the plant. This wasn't as bad but there is always room for improvement:) ALSO
for tankmates the tank should be a bit bigger or just without a tank mate at all. also get a filter and heater! bettas are tropical fish so water around 76-86 is optimal:)
Having those fish in a tank that small with no heater or filter is borderline animal abuse
Plus it’s not even cycled! He just put them in right away! Plus there no filter to help cycle it.
Theres no water movement either, which is fine for the betta as a betta can breathe air from the surface or live in very low oxygenated water but the pleco needs water with decent oxygen especially a young one as they grow quick as although they can also breathe air they evolved to do it because they sometimes get stranded on land in the wild and need to wriggle to other areas of water they can't stick their heads out the top like a betta to gulp air they only breathe air when they are outside of water.
First to put a positive comment. We want more Paul! Keep up the great work
