Ep.6 Sweet Potato Betta Tank (NEW Plants & Favorite Kartoffel Food) No filter, No CO2, NO ferts Nano
Вставка
- Опубліковано 23 кві 2019
- Kartoffel is a wild betta species called Mahachai betta. These are his favorite foods.
Undoubtedly, the over trimming caused the sweet potatoes to not do well.
B/c there’re no more sweet potatoes, I’m gonna do more frequent water changes.
Around 2 times a week. 25~50% with 3 day old water. I didn’t trim the hornwort b/c I wanted it to grow big and help filter the water.
I’m not sure how the spinach will turn out.
I’ll keep you posted.

3 day old water:
1. Tap water in a bucket
2. Add water conditioner and stir vigorously, kinda like making a lemonade.
3. Leave the water 2~3 days alone. You can cover it with something, too, if you want to avoid dust.
4. 1~2 hours before the water change, I add a heater in the bucket and match the temperature to the tank’s temperature. Kartoffel’s tank is 26°C or 79°F.
5. Optional almond leaf water: Boil dechlorinated water; I use the bucket water. Pour the boiling water in a glass container. Add crushed almond leaf in the container. Stir. Leave it alone for an hour or two. I add just a little bit of this almond water during the water change.
You don’t have to do water changes like this. However, this is the safest way I know for a betta.
Favorite Kartoffel food:
Freeze dried blood worms amzn.to/2ISrbek
Frozen blood worms
Frozen brine shrimp
Frozen mysis shrimp
Live brine shrimp (eggs) amzn.to/2L0Y4rG
INDOBETTA Pellet Monster #2 - This might be difficult to find. Very few stores import this I think. I bought this at a LFS. Every betta is a little different with different pellets. I feed Kartoffel with several different kinds of pellets and this is his favorite.
Other easy to find pellets for betta:
Hikari Betta Bio-Gold amzn.to/2ByRG3h

(If your house is warm enough, you don’t have to put the container in the aquarium. You can just leave it out and the brine shrimp will hatch fine.)

Kartoffel has a better meal plan than I do
facts
Fed him some Top Gourmet course
Think if the square inchage of his house! I, personally, am jealous.
Yeah i think about it too 😅😅
Stranger: So what do you do in your spare time?
Me: ...
😅
I'm currently on episode six of the life of a betta fish named Potato.
Youre not alone...
What kind of show are you binge watching?
Others : Witcher, Mando...
Me: well...
Me tooooooo
It’s actually kartsoffel, but yes
@@RtrGrd Potato unless your german ofc :)
Just binge watched Kartoffel's whole life so far. I'm hooked and I need more
Me too. LOL
Same i love him
Me too and I have no clue how I found this! 01:26
@@robertwells3797 Same!!!
Hooked? Is that a fish pun?
Pewdiepie? James Charles? Jake Paul?
Nah... Kartoffel
And Pewdiepie
You right
Seriously. Seeing a Trisha Paytas suggested video after this one really puts my sanity in perspective.
Kartoffel is dang cute !
@@KingBarney they should colab.
If I am reincarnated as a betta, I hope you're the one who adopts me 😂
"A few minutes of exercise" *shows Kartoffel his reflection* hahaha
basically kartoffel thought it was another betta and he started displaying his colorful fins to scare the betta (his reflection) off as bettas are very territorial.
they spread their gills to make them look bigger as well, which allows them to use muscles not usually active
Yeah when they flare, it helps them be more active but when they over flaring, it can get it’s fins hurt and becomes a problem having it not tucked in. That’s what I’m thinking I could be wrong
@@Kimchi.3 nah it doesnt hurt them, if u didn’t know which u probably do know, fish open their gills like that to look more scary to other fish so they run off. So when u see fish fight they usually have their gills and mouth wide open. 💀
@@iconic818 yeah, but too much flaring can cause them to stress is what I was going after about and saying small amounts of flaring won’t hurt them, but it helps them with good exercise.
What a cliffhanger for season 2!
Who are these new characters? Can Spinach do the trick and be as interesting to follow as their predecessors? Will they bloom on air? What will happen to the good Sweet Potato? Shall Kartoffel keep its name? Are nests in next season? (I've heard there's been some conflicts between them and the production on stage once) Will there be another cameo of the Hollywood star that divided the audience last season, Shelly the Spider?
So many questions to be answered in season 2, stay tuned!
Thank you! I didn't know I needed this😂
My fav anime tbh
Thank you so much for your comment it's PERFECT ⭐⭐⭐
The best UA-cam a comment I’ve read.
You forgot the intrigue of who did the giant feline ear and snout belong to? Is this the feline god making an appearance as it watches it's own tiny world?
No matter what I’m doing , I always stop to watch these video :)
I have exams tmrow
Same here
True that
Me as well.
Same love foos videos
Nuke No0dle dead ass I pause my alegra 2 lesson to watch this video.....worth it!
Whole shrimp 1-2 times per week and exercise too. That betta is loved! Also with the plants, you sir are a bit of a genius.
Bettas arent very well suited fo aquaponics. Usually want something more hardy and with a varied diet. Goldfish and koi are useful since they're technically omnivores. Tilapia is usually what is used though because they can also be sold for food.
He takes better care of fish than you do with humans HAL

I'm PRETTY stoked to see how the spinach does! I just adore this series, well done, you!
excited to relax :)
me too
hopefully the spinach does well.
Ah spoiler alert man!
@@donc734 hahaha....I don't get it.
"The sweet potatoes were not doing so well"
*Shows picture of sweet potatoes doing very well*
Love this channel, great video as always! A small suggestion, when feeding with the pointy tweezers hold them upside down so if he gets a bit enthusiastic and lunges at the food he only hits the flat part. My betta Ghost jumped at a piece of food once and jabbed himself in the eye with my planting tongs, he was fine but now I use blunt plastic tweezers :)
This man has put more love, care and passion for this fish than I can muster for anything in life
These videos really help me out, I have depression and anxiety so when I feel stressed I always turn to this channel❤️ pls tell kartoffell that I love him
Your videos are super relaxing!! Keep up the good the good work
The music too
I know right? I watch them to fall asleep to.
I can't believe I'm now waiting for the next episode. I've become invested in Kartoffel.
One of my favorite things to do is get baked and watch your videos keep up the good work.
Cant wait to see how the spinach seeds turn outtt
I have severe GAD, panic disorder and depression and these videos seriously help! I have my own betta and I love him so much! The aquarium with my betta in it and houseplants I keep are my hobbies and they bring me so much joy and relaxation. I’d recommend either to anyone with mental health issues. You get so much joy from seeing your aquarium and fish flourish and I get so so happy when my plants grow a new leaf or stem. The whole “need to be needed” thing. I do have a dog too and she helps, but she isn’t a hobby, she’s my life lol
When in doubt go with a pothos plant, they can grow on water too. However, the good thing about spinach, you can feed the leaves to your shrimp.
Scilė what’s a good substitute for pothos that is cat-friendly?
watching this video is full peace and harmony
I agree with the council's decision to remove the aging and problematic sweet potato monoliths, no good! Get em out!
I love Kartoffels sassy expression when he’s flared up! XD Beautiful lil guy. I love this channel so much!
I don't even know how I got here, but glad I did! 😂❤👍🏽
People were crazy about GOT or End Game,
And there's me.... Who's waiting for your latest video.
I always learn something new each time I watch you, and your videos are super relaxing and beautiful. I also really appreciate the links to other videos and to products you use. I plan to get some of these things for my own tanks! You are one of my top favorite fish related channels to watch by far!

The best vids on UA-cam I like how he doesn't upload to much because his videos are rare and something to look forward to

Thank you. ^^
This it literally the only channel I have notifications for. Love this series so much, really makes me want to get a Betta again.
I found your videos while fighting a stomachache, but now that I'm all caught up with the Many Adventures of Kartoffel, I don't know what else I'll watch to keep tranquil! Lol
Ive never seen someone take such good care of a fish before, and it makes me so happy.

I have my NCLEX test tomorrow and I’m glad this was in my recommendation!! It’s removing my stress rn!! Thank you for this 💕

Oh god that Chopin piece was what I played for my level 8 CM test. After level 10 the grind kinda extinguished the spark in me, and I kinda stopped playing piano.
This piece really helped show me that music is beautiful, because I became desensitized to how lovely this piece is. Thanks for inspiring me to start playing again.
I really enjoy everything in this channel. The music the quality
