Great aquarium! just make sure to use the master test kit properly. There’s two bottles for ammonia and you only used one, which is why it didn’t show properly. Also, you can put a prefilter sponge on both the input and output of the filter to baffle the flow. Like you said, the fish were getting bullied by the filter. It will also prevent the fish’s fins or other debris from getting sucked up into the filter. If you do that be sure to add multiple air stones for surface agitation (it replaces oxygen in the tank.) You should also move the filter output to the other side of the tank. It will help distribute the heater’s heat and will create a current in the tank. For a first tank, or any tank- it’s an AMAZING aquarium. I wish I had the room for a 75 gallon. You could get a 30 gallon tank, put your current fish into that tank, then get angelfish or another big fish for the big tank. Or you could add more fish to the tank after it’s more established. Anyway, great tank, and thanks for reading this long comment! EDIT: I also appreciate that you did a lot of research before you setup the tank. Lots of people just put bettas into bowls!
@@flaming547 I had a half moon betta and he was very chill 😂. Sadly, he had a disease and died. He might be better off now because his tail was massive and it weighed him down so much he bit parts of it off and didn’t eat. He was completely fine with other fish and very special to me. I hope he’s in a better place now. I know I sound like that vegan teacher, but always feel so bad for bettas because they are very commonly mistreated and abused and some types are bred to have big tails but those types of tails often make it difficult for them to swim.
As an aquarium hobbyist I cannot tell you how excited and happy I am that you actually did research and went the natural way (real plants, and deco). And it looks soo good 👍
It does look good but as an expert, I noticed that he put guppies and a Betta together and the Betta are normally slightly aggressive fish and will harm fish with long tails like themselves.
@@OGfrog_eco yeah I noticed that too and tbh I cringed a bit 😬 but I don’t think it’s the worst stocking choice I’ve seen, the betta has tons of space and also Uhm well “enrichment” 😄
@@OGfrog_eco i think it really depends on the betta too 😅 i had a 25 gal community tank filled with mostly guppy's and i bought sorority Betta's they were like 6 or 7 all females (i think males are more aggressive tho) they were doing great, i just turned the water flow down a bit cause i dont think the Betta's like too much flow😅 anyways i think they might work together depending on the Betta's attitude 😂, feel free to correct me😁 im still relatively new to the hobby about only a year now. 😅
So I keep fish myself and here are some tips for you, Luke. 1. It's best to put the thermometer at the bottom of the tank. 2. When filling up your tank, you can use plastic wrap (by putting it in front of the siphon) to prevent the sand from shifting. 3. Also a bubbler will be significant, so your fish will get plenty of oxygen. Hope your fishies will live a good life!
i have fish too😊 i dont really know much about keeping fish in a tank, cuz i keep my koi fish in a pond, but we were thinking about getting a tank for small fish thanks!👍
The oxygen exchange appears at the surface, a (bubbler) do not make a significant different and does rather work against Co2 building up and plants will then suffer, many and healthy plants equals healthy and ecosphere aquarium!
Well, he has plants in his tank. And those will help with the oxygen. The air pump or "bubblers" won't provide oxygen to the fishes. It's the movement in water that creates tiny oxygen particles in water. Bubbles just create a movement + I can also see the water moving from his filter, so it will be fine :)
I've had fish for 7 years, and for a beginner tank you did a really good job! If your interested I have a few suggestions: 1. Quick start helps, but you should wait a few weeks still. Its mostly just a booster. 2. You can rinse the sand outside to help. 3. A UV light should help with cloudy water and algae. (Although some algae can actually be beneficial). 4. Snails are great, I would add a few besides ones you already have from the plants. 5. I like your stocking choices! With the guppies, add a 3 to 1 ratio of females if you want babies. (Currently you just have males). Of course, just males can be great too although eventually you'll have to replace them. The betta fish is SUPER risky though, especially because its a male. They are okay with some species in large tanks, but these guppies have flowy fins so watch out for nipping and remove immediately if you see that. 6. When putting fish into your tank use a net to so dirty water won't go into the tank. 7. Mollies, Platies, and Neon Tetras are also great beginner fish to add in the future.
@@DaWaffleDogHair algae? Im dont keep reef tanks but generally the best way to get rid of algae is snails, and shrimp. I heard shrimp get hair algae while snails mostly get the stuff on the glass. I know i tried snails and they cleaned a 20 gallon like it was nothing. ( only like 3 ramshorn snails)
wow i cant believ its already been over a year that you've moved in! I've been with you for a while Luke and every video that I walk over just gives me so much joy and entertainment and i could never find any other positive, loving, and caring youtuber than you Luke, keep the excellent work up Luke, Im so proud of you!
Hey luke. Just letting you know that the plants will be fine, you should also try to reduce the output of the filter until the fish dont look like they’re struggling to swim. Bettas and guppys is 50/50 as you know but endler guppys and bettas are completely fine endlers are alot smaller but they look great i had 7 with my betta and they were fine.
As someone who owns two tanks, I do believe that bettas and guppies are a risky match as bettas can get aggressive often against coloured long finned fish. But my second tank has mixed bettas with other fish so if the tank is big enough you should be fine. Edit: If you are going to get other fish I reccomend Cory catfish as since they are bottom dwellers they won’t interact with the bettas as much so less Vance of them fighting.
Lukes creativity makes everyone's face smile. I love his vids so much, and whenever I am bored or sad, I watch his vids. Amazing Video, Luke. Say Hi to your fish for me :)
Tips: don’t use the water that comes from the fish store (could be nasty) the filter does not clean the tank itself, it provide water flow and is a housing spot for bacteria that is actually cleaning the tank. Insta start bacteria should still be given some time before you put fish in. You could put something to hinder the flow from the filter because beta fish like soft flow. Also ph is only a concern for the fish, some fish like high ph (hard water) some like low ph (soft water).
this is just a suggestion, i know its been a year, but have you tried going out in nature and grabbing pure black soil and thats below the sand cap, has bacteria already in the soil, also river water thats spring fed, (no polluants) is amazing, no cloudy water its crazy how nature works, but yeah anyways i got this idea from father fish. happy fish keeping man! :)
Luke I’ve kept guppies and I have a few tips 1 for every 1 male try to have 3 females to stop males fighting 2 for every inch of fish = gallon of water except beta wich = 10 through 20 Gallons to stop fish dying 3 to even out feeding use some tablets and flakes so every fish gets food 4 guppies breed a lot so if you want there young to survive buy some floating plants for them 5 you can tell a male from a female by how bright there colors are If any of these help you Love the fish ❤
1 inch per gallon rule is just plain not true, a 10 inch koi could not live in a 10 gallon, also like apathetic squid said, plecos will only make your water quality worse because they produce a lot of waste and only eat algae. (I have a planted 20 gallon community tank)
Luke, I started watching your tiktok videos around 2 years ago and then I started watching on your channel. I love your videos and I appreciate how much effort and time you probably put into it. (Also the editors, you guys probably work really hard, so thank you)
I am so happy to see a UA-camr that is finally doing fish keeping right. I have been keeping fish for years and while he might not have explained his research the best I am just happy to see that he did any research at all. Keep up the good work Luke.
hey luke! big fan, have been watching u for ages! just wanted u to know that i hope everything is well for you and all of ur fans care for u. Love you bro.
I love people like him and I was shocked because his betta is a wild and for all y’all not believing me look at a wild betta it has vibrant spots like his betta
You didn’t put the drops from ammonia Bottle number two In and even though you had a quick start you still have to cycle your tank for a month even though Bettas are really hardy it will eventually get really sick from the ammonia nitrate and nitrite in the tank please do more research on properly cycling a fish tank
If you would like having more fishes, don't buy more male guppies or other sorts of fish, simply buy 10 to 12 female guppies, they will have guppy fries in a month or so. Just keep in mind, I am not forcing you to keep guppies 😂 just giving an advice. By the way that message was sent by a guppy keeper which is also an experienced fish keeper😅. By the way I forgot to tell you that if the fishes are staying at the top of the tank, that means that there is a lack of oxygen in the water. Put a bubbler in the tank. My brother is a great fan of you and loves your memes on tiktok.
Congrats on the new tank Luke! As someone who has owned guppies for close to 8 years now, I wanted to say that it’s totally normal for them to hang around the top of the fish tank.. it seems that is where they like to hang around most of the time
Hello i have been looking to get guppies for a long time now but still confused what i need to buy for the fish to live. I used to have some fish after they all died i gave up but now wiling to give another try. Feel free to give me tips what to buy and things I definitely need to keel them alive❤😂
@@nomzy_twitchthey have to have a 10 or more gallon aquarium and you should always buy more females than males to avoid fighting 2 females for every 1 male (Females are larger and aren't that colorful) also provide them plenty of hiding space with plants and thats pretty much all you need
The filter makes enough surface tension for the oxexsen to be dissolved so he doesn't really need it , I have one and only use it for emergency porpuses, it's weird that they are at the top so maybe they do need one
As an aquarium hobby enthusiast, you should remove as many snails as you can. Most likley they are ramshorn snails and these snails reproduce so bad they will take over your tank within months.
This is by far and i mean farrr the best aquarium ive ever seen a influencer set up. Not some bowl with no heater or filter but a 75 gal with great aquascape, great stock, amazing filter, and a great owner
Nice tank! I wish I Could have a 75 gallon. I have a smaller tank, but fish tanks is still one of my hobbies. I mostly have “tetras” in my tank, because they are small, friendly, and cool.
Just a tip for the future skip the glue and just boil the wood. It will waterlog it and they won't float. That way you can move it around when cleaning or if you want to change it up. Also if you do use glue original super glue work perfectly and half the price. I love that you did research before starting its the first step to being a master aquarist. 👍 O and the fluval 407 has a spray bar attachment that you can order and use instead of the return jet and it would make the return flow easier for the type of fish you have.
This is up to you, but if you want something cool that always stays at the bottom you should get a bristlenose pleco, they only get around 5 inches. They eat some algae but do produce quite a bit waste (the bristlenose plecos have hard scales almost like armor)
A really well done tank but there are a couple things that need a change. 1. The filter needs to be less aggressive. 2. Reduce the amount of plants-Guppies are very active swimmers that need space. 3. 1 or 2 caves should be added since Bettas are cave lovers and it would also reduce the risk of him attacking a Guppy.
Hey man if you have too many snails you can get some assassin snails which eat other snails. Ones the assassin snails eat all the other snails you need to give them algae wafers stuff like that to eat. You can also breed the assassin snails and sell them to local fish shops but not all Fish shops accept them. (I am from England don’t know if that makes a difference also do research of your own) Good luck 👍🏻
Luke wow first time keeping fish and good husbandry you do have a verry low mainenence tank cause its understocked i think you should maybe consider buying a group of maybe corydoras and neon tetras maybe cause the fish that you have live in the top layer these fish live in the middle and bottom layer 👍🐠
Great video. I found it super relatable since me myself made my first planted aquarium with stem plants recently. I recognise your struggles with planting the the roots into the soil and I admire your patience with everything. I really do envy your patience. Btw really love your tank and hope your fish do well :)
Luke u have to make sure the filter is cycle because that plant will melt.The filter you need to put some bio media . Put some ketappa leaf in the tank to lower the ph.Put some algea eater for rid of the some algea.slow the filter and put a lot of floater plants.but your tank is so good to watch
1:They may be swimming at the top due to low oxygen levels in the water. The top of the tank generally has the most oxygen so they will crowd there trying to breathe. 2:Tone down the filter because it looks like some of the fish are trying really hard to swim against the current even on the other side of the tank 3: You should be fine with your selection of fish because bettas have been seen to do fine in community tanks as long as they have a place to get away
hi luke i been keeping fish for a long time now and i just wana recomend you some spiecies that can work in your tank 1. shrimp they are benificial to a fish tank with your current fish and how the tank is set up i think you can have some cherry shrimp but if you are scared that they will be eaten i would recomend amino shrimp they are a little bit bigger 2. bambo shrimp with your filter they will be a good adition to a tank you will see them on loogs tryng to filter any food in the tank 3. Neon Tetras they like moving water so you can add sum i recomend 5 of them so they are happy 4. assasin snail they will eat the small baby snails those small baby snails you found are invasive they will breed and take over the whole tank they will eat all the plants 5. a mexican dwarf craw fish they are small and can work well because of the rocks 6.cory catfish are cool little fish who are gonna eat uneaten food 7. pleco plecos are a fish that grow big so i personaly only keep one 8. Kuhli loach The true Kuhli loach, occasionally referred to as eel loach, is a small eel-like freshwater fish belonging to the loach family. They originate from the island of Java in Indonesia. This snake-like creature is very slender and nocturnal 9.Bala shark The bala shark also known as the tricolor shark, tricolor sharkminnow, silver shark, or shark minnow, is a fish of the family Cyprinidae, and is one of the two species in the genus Balantiocheilos. This species is not a true shark, but is commonly so called because of its torpedo-shaped body and large fins
For live plants you'd need like 3 more bass of sand for the roots. Plants need 2-4 inches unless they are floaters or something like Java fern or anubias
I've been in the fish keeping hobby for 2 and a half years now. I noticed that the colour of the water was a little bit brown and that is because of the wood a way to prevent that is boil the wood in a pot for 15-30 minutes if it does not fit in your pot use a tub or a bucket and put hot water in that. if the colour comes back jus do the same thing again
The aquascape is great, and the fish you chose benefit you, as they don't make much pollution, which means the less often you have to do a water change!
Great job with everything else but I had beta and guppies in the same tank and the beta bit there tails off but Mabey because your tanks so big it will be fine Great video though and your right it probably will be fine he look like he had a peaceful personality.
i have a fish tank about that size two but mine has different fish, btw luke betta can really live with other fish in the same home because betta fish are territorial and could attack the other fish but there is no problem because the tank is big enough for the betta and all the other fish so they wont really see each other, btw my tank has platys mollys guppies and cory those fish make good tank mates

Luke I’ve kept guppies and I have a few tips
1 for every 1 male try to have 3 females to stop males fighting
2 for every inch of fish = gallon of water except beta wich = 10 through 20 Gallons to stop fish dying
3 to even out feeding use some tablets and flakes so every fish gets food
4 guppies breed a lot so if you want there young to survive buy some floating plants for them
5 you can tell a male from a female by how bright there colors are
If any of these help you
Love the fish ❤
I missed one plecos are a great way to clean out your water because the filter won’t do all of it
Only buy dwarf though because a advertised small pleco will actually get to two feet
@brotherbros9395 plecos will not clean your water
They create a lot of waste ie a lot of ammonia. They just eat some surface algae.
1 inch per gallon rule is just plain not true, a 10 inch koi could not live in a 10 gallon, also like apathetic squid said, plecos will only make your water quality worse because they produce a lot of waste and only eat algae. (I have a planted 20 gallon community tank)

Just keep in mind, I am not forcing you to keep guppies 😂 just giving an advice. By the way that message was sent by a guppy keeper which is also an experienced fish keeper😅. By the way I forgot to tell you that if the fishes are staying at the top of the tank, that means that there is a lack of oxygen in the water. Put a bubbler in the tank. My brother is a great fan of you and loves your memes on tiktok.
Year I have about 50 guppies I started with 10 they breed quic
Bro that tank is gonna get infested💀
Wayyy to much work but Luke spends his week doing this for us so let’s appreciate the work he puts into his videos!
This is how much work is necessary for proper care of an aquarium, maybe you are just too lazy to think about that
Don't forget that you have wash out ever 2 weeks. Love your vids!
Great job luke! Love to see more people promoting the fishkeeping hobby, especially from non fishtubers. Good luck! Not bad for your first tank. 😉
Love u Luke!
Who else

The amount of times luke got mad got me dying
Like this if he should do more videos on his aquarium.
Congrats on the new tank Luke! As someone who has owned guppies for close to 8 years now, I wanted to say that it’s totally normal for them to hang around the top of the fish tank.. it seems that is where they like to hang around most of the time
Hello i have been looking to get guppies for a long time now but still confused what i need to buy for the fish to live. I used to have some fish after they all died i gave up but now wiling to give another try. Feel free to give me tips what to buy and things I definitely need to keel them alive❤😂
@@nomzy_twitchthey have to have a 10 or more gallon aquarium and you should always buy more females than males to avoid fighting 2 females for every 1 male (Females are larger and aren't that colorful) also provide them plenty of hiding space with plants and thats pretty much all you need
@@nomzy_twitchif you live in a hot place you don't need a filter but if you don't I suggest getting one because they are tropical fish
Its amazing you did all the research before doing it. Kudos And it looks amazing for a first time tank!
1 like = 1 fishy
Bro 6fishh
your tank is missing an air pump, that's what makes them breath
The filter makes enough surface tension for the oxexsen to be dissolved so he doesn't really need it , I have one and only use it for emergency porpuses, it's weird that they are at the top so maybe they do need one
@@AdamGolding-t1kyes this air pumps aren’t necessary till they are needed
As an aquarium hobby enthusiast, you should remove as many snails as you can. Most likley they are ramshorn snails and these snails reproduce so bad they will take over your tank within months.
How cool you are having a pet fish!!!!!
And also it’s very easy have a fish but when you clean it isint
This is by far and i mean farrr the best aquarium ive ever seen a influencer set up. Not some bowl with no heater or filter but a 75 gal with great aquascape, great stock, amazing filter, and a great owner
Bro you bought all male guppies
I have 5 male guppies in my fish tank
❤ woah first!!! Love your videos :)
Your the real first
Real first nice
The video says 30 min ago but you're comment says 31 min ago 💀
Nice tank! I wish I Could have a 75 gallon. I have a smaller tank, but fish tanks is still one of my hobbies. I mostly have “tetras” in my tank, because they are small, friendly, and cool.
Just a tip for the future skip the glue and just boil the wood. It will waterlog it and they won't float. That way you can move it around when cleaning or if you want to change it up. Also if you do use glue original super glue work perfectly and half the price. I love that you did research before starting its the first step to being a master aquarist. 👍 O and the fluval 407 has a spray bar attachment that you can order and use instead of the return jet and it would make the return flow easier for the type of fish you have.
As a fish owner this actually help me out
This is up to you, but if you want something cool that always stays at the bottom you should get a bristlenose pleco, they only get around 5 inches. They eat some algae but do produce quite a bit waste (the bristlenose plecos have hard scales almost like armor)
Is it a coincidence that you are my favourite UA-camr and we’ve got the exact same fish😮
Good job for always being kind and making great content for everybody🎉
A really well done tank but there are a couple things that need a change.
1. The filter needs to be less aggressive.
2. Reduce the amount of plants-Guppies are very active swimmers that need space.
3. 1 or 2 caves should be added since Bettas are cave lovers and it would also reduce the risk of him attacking a Guppy.
Hey man if you have too many snails you can get some assassin snails which eat other snails. Ones the assassin snails eat all the other snails you need to give them algae wafers stuff like that to eat. You can also breed the assassin snails and sell them to local fish shops but not all Fish shops accept them.
(I am from England don’t know if that makes a difference also do research of your own)
Good luck 👍🏻
You should get a Plato it will help clean your tank people say they get big but there are deferred ones
Luke wow first time keeping fish and good husbandry you do have a verry low mainenence tank cause its understocked i think you should maybe consider buying a group of maybe corydoras and neon tetras maybe cause the fish that you have live in the top layer these fish live in the middle and bottom layer 👍🐠
I feel so happy I had fish for two years. I love the fish hobby, and I hope you can get in it to the fish, hobby to.
Great video. I found it super relatable since me myself made my first planted aquarium with stem plants recently. I recognise your struggles with planting the the roots into the soil and I admire your patience with everything. I really do envy your patience. Btw really love your tank and hope your fish do well :)
You should make a fish channel and every day other day you do a vlog showing us what happens to them every other day
when he was talking about going away for a couple days and finding a place for it to stay, it reminded me of that tiktok he made XD
never seen a youtuber do research before. good job
this is my first time seeing Luke Davidson mad before but mad RESPECT for him he puts the time in his videos and also i love fish so win win
Luke u have to make sure the filter is cycle because that plant will melt.The filter you need to put some bio media . Put some ketappa leaf in the tank to lower the ph.Put some algea eater for rid of the some algea.slow the filter and put a lot of floater plants.but your tank is so good to watch
We would LOVE an update on the fish tank!
Yesss
Please keep making videos like this and setting up your office! 😮
1:They may be swimming at the top due to low oxygen levels in the water. The top of the tank generally has the most oxygen so they will crowd there trying to breathe.
2:Tone down the filter because it looks like some of the fish are trying really hard to swim against the current even on the other side of the tank
3: You should be fine with your selection of fish because bettas have been seen to do fine in community tanks as long as they have a place to get away
hi luke i been keeping fish for a long time now and i just wana recomend you some spiecies that can work in your tank
1. shrimp they are benificial to a fish tank with your current fish and how the tank is set up i think you can have some cherry shrimp but if you are scared that they will be eaten i would recomend amino shrimp they are a little bit bigger
2. bambo shrimp with your filter they will be a good adition to a tank you will see them on loogs tryng to filter any food in the tank
3. Neon Tetras they like moving water so you can add sum i recomend 5 of them so they are happy
4. assasin snail they will eat the small baby snails those small baby snails you found are invasive they will breed and take over the whole tank they will eat all the plants
5. a mexican dwarf craw fish they are small and can work well because of the rocks
6.cory catfish are cool little fish who are gonna eat uneaten food
7. pleco plecos are a fish that grow big so i personaly only keep one
8. Kuhli loach The true Kuhli loach, occasionally referred to as eel loach, is a small eel-like freshwater fish belonging to the loach family. They originate from the island of Java in Indonesia. This snake-like creature is very slender and nocturnal
9.Bala shark The bala shark also known as the tricolor shark, tricolor sharkminnow, silver shark, or shark minnow, is a fish of the family Cyprinidae, and is one of the two species in the genus Balantiocheilos. This species is not a true shark, but is commonly so called because of its torpedo-shaped body and large fins
Tank is too small to house a school of full grown bala sharks
Tip: Betta fish are actually very good tankmates with guppies!
glad to see you know what your doing
Luke you should put a baby large mouth bass that is my favorite fish
For live plants you'd need like 3 more bass of sand for the roots. Plants need 2-4 inches unless they are floaters or something like Java fern or anubias
His aquarium is beautiful. Never really seen bettas in with guppy’s but it’s a nice mixed species tank
I've been in the fish keeping hobby for 2 and a half years now.
I noticed that the colour of the water was a little bit brown and that is because of the wood a way to prevent that is boil the wood in a pot for 15-30 minutes if it does not fit in your pot use a tub or a bucket and put hot water in that.
if the colour comes back jus do the same thing again
1:41 Pro fishtanker 😂
The aquascape is great, and the fish you chose benefit you, as they don't make much pollution, which means the less often you have to do a water change!
it is nice that most of his information checks out and hopefully some of his viewers got fish tank because of him
Great job with everything else but I had beta and guppies in the same tank and the beta bit there tails off but Mabey because your tanks so big it will be fine
Great video though and your right it probably will be fine he look like he had a peaceful personality.
i have a fish tank about that size two but mine has different fish, btw luke betta can really live with other fish in the same home because betta fish are territorial and could attack the other fish but there is no problem because the tank is big enough for the betta and all the other fish so they wont really see each other, btw my tank has platys mollys guppies and cory those fish make good tank mates
You should make this a new channel!! I think lots of us would find it very interesting and you can show if your new tank!
