Many of you asked for a low-budget aquarium video. I’ve been waiting for a betta tank long time ago so I it was a great opportunity to combine the two. I was trying to use the most budget friendly things available but there are some parts where you should not go for the cheap. It’s kinda hard to make it cheaper really. Maybe you can collect the wood and the stones from outdoors but I trust more in the ones you can buy in aquarium specific stores.
This tank is optimal to keep a betta in it. It doesn’t like too much light and too strong flow. Since the light isn’t that strong, you should choose low-demand plants, (maybe you can ask your friends for some) Also don’t forget about the water heater, water temperature needs to be 26 degrees (C) at least.
I suggest 30% water changing in every week. The plants will need a bit of fertilizer. Also you can put snails in it, but I don’t suggest shrimps since betta eats them.
The darker soil would be better for the betta, but I could have bought only active soil that time and I didn't want it, so I chose this one. Since the light isn't strong and there are plenty shady areas in there, I hope it won't be a problem.
This is really a budget-friendly and easy aquarium, ideal for beginners and such a comfy place for the betta.

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS! It's sad how betta is the most mistreated fish in the entire aquarium hobby, people just dump them in bowls, jars and vases and be done with it. Bettas are a very active swimming fish , instead of a stationery floating fish which is one of the excuse why people keep them in small spaces.. Because they don't think bettas are active swimmer. They might not be as fast as neon tetras, but healthy bettas ARE , indeed, very active when kept in larger spaces instead of jars. Bettas are absolutely my favourite fish, and I REALLY appreciate that you shattered the dreaded, cursed Marina betta cube at the end , LOL!
BTW can't wait to see what kind of super lucky betta ends up in that gorgeous tank :D
Yeah absoulutly and Goldfisch are just as mistreated as Betta. Everybody thinks they are boring but in fact they are great, if u Keep them right. (I wont even Start with the carneval Thing where you can win a goldfish, which dies within a few days bcuz of the Stress... Poor things)
@@selT02 Where I live, it's usually goldfish that you win at carnivals
@@jackievarughese3945 oh, i meant Goldfisch '^^
@@selT02 Ooh😂😂
To those who kept messaging me and deleted their comment after: I hope you learnt your lesson NOT to comment/make a negative assumption before finishing a video.
SPOILER ALERT : This tank does HAVE a lid, nobody is gonna be jumping out and die
Shocked by how much cheaper everything is where you live. One bunch of anubias petite goes for $13 at all five of my local fish stores... and you got all your plants for $19.
I bought some plant from my friends. In little local shops low tech plants are cheaper than big stores.
right! I was saying thats 100 bucks in plants alone !
@@routtookc8064, my thoughts exactly unfortunately. buying cuttings from friends is probably the only realistic way to save money.. but alas, none of my friends are aquarium hobbyists :( beautiful tank and i love the low budget suggestions though!
Check forums and fb groups. I never buy plants from stores
Allright!
the music along with the production quality of this video has probably made me the most relaxed i've been in a long time, keep doing what you're doing
Actually the first one is the Japan's national anthem :)
Thanks mate! :)
I second this^ really great camera work!
Hahaha this might have cost you 96 bucks but I have never seen a piece of Driftwood that big sold for 15. More like 45. Cool setup though!
Ikr
Facts
Yeah, this is really misleading. Even at wholesale that shit would cost more than $100
In Europe they sell this kinde of stuff in little expos and you pay half the price you pay in normal pet stores.
all depends on where you live lol. You gotta remember in most places a peice of driftwood is considered litter that the city actually pays to get rid of.
dude, you need to link these products!!! i have never seen an adjustable heater under 30$, driftwood under 40$, sand under 10$, a cheap rimless aquarium, etc etc etc!!!
You can DIY a rimless tank with any rimmed tank under 20gal, there are plenty of guides. Anything above that and you'll need to implement custom glass bracing.
Ashlyn Wanderer you have never seen sand under $10!? Ever heard of home depot! It's $3 there!
Corrin Jessen not where I live. Home Depot is insane.
Exactly and where’d he get the lamp???
They have inexpensive heaters on chewy.com i bought a marineland adjustable one 150 watts for 15 bucks!
Officially now my favourite fish related UA-camr for smashing that betta cube!
andrewcul facts lol
Stunning production again. Love the hammer at the end :) Great work Máté!
Thank you guys! :)
What you create is brilliant. Aqua scape, which looks very good, is one thing, but video processing and background music that complete the whole thing to create a real art.
I can't wait to see more. Greetings from Poland.
Thanks! 😍
Gorgeous home for a betta. I've kept them in the past in a 10g tank and tell people they need 5g or more. Love the ending. Smash it and get rid of it for betta's.
ugh last week i went to get some bird food at petco and i overheard a employee talking to a customer saying that having a beta in 10 gallon will stress it out , and that 2-3 gallons were best for betas... terrible
@@leche2905 😞. Hopefully the customer will/has done a lot of research and realize that more water volume is much better for the betta and will not be stressed out.
I really love that the lamp is part of the wood, such a elegant design.

Beautiful betta tank! My Mahachai just laid eggs so excited for the fry! I’ll keep updates on babies! New to breeding bettas and just started a channel 🙏
I love this style of video-simple and to the point and gives me a great step by step of how to set up a space for our betta.
When I saw your other video for this tank it literally blew me away, thank you for giving all of the steps, I’m very new to this hobby and need all the info I can get!
And here I've been looking at ADA setups that cost $$$. This inspired me to take a second look at lower cost options.
Awesome video. I'm so glad that you took the time to let people know that those small tanks aren't good for Bettas!
You do come up with some really original design. You make it look so simple. Inspiring.
All the best.
Aengus
The last scene 🤣🤣 very inspirational video
This tank is so cool. Is definitely a piece of art ❤️
I don't know why I feel so satisfied you smash the tiny little aquarium that people use to keep betta! happy..
And that's proper way to setup amateur aquarium,thanks for giving people knowledge
Awesome betta tank! I just switched to live plants and Crusoe's colours have never been brighter and my Cories haven't been this happy since i switched from gravel to sand. Im going to try to get more variety since i just have Hornwort, and i'm going to make the 20 gallon a blackwater aquarium since i've heard the tannins can strengthen a betta's scales, Crusoe keeps rubbing his off on everything.
My fish are basically my babies and i will do anything to keep them happy because they're so stinkin adorable and spastic.
Duuuuuude, I've been looking for exactly this! I want a betta this year and I cant wait but I also wanna do it right and I've been watching videos and reading up on what the tank should look like, what to avoid etc for 5 days now and finally found your video! Really good job, it looks amazing!!! I dropped the idea of buying a tank kit bcuz I think its best to build it together yourself so u can make sure everything is the right setup for the betta fish. Guess its time to save up some coin and soon I will be able to give a betta (I had to) life to one of these poor souls in the pet store. #nocupsforbettas
Wow....... love it.. i am with this hobby for many years. I know it is not cheap nor low tech. It is small viable and durable ... this tanks will last for years without much major maintenance.
I love it. A small beautiful aquarium- perfect for busy adults. A piece of beautiful vivid and live furniture for modern lifestyle.
Amazing!
Love you man ! Love @07:11 😘😂 low tech tank is the must for betta, my low tech tank has not filter, just for température 25 degrés ! Quality and simplicity... Kiss from France man 👍🇫🇷
In my country to make a setup like this we need to spend 400R$ , with free plants , those pet things are very expensive , to mount a 40 liters aquarium i spend 350R$ and i buyed all the things used , lot of months saving , i dont have a good job , but aquarium is my passion
If do not have a lot of money and there is no good used marked you can access, try building most yourself. Building a tank is actually not that hard. Get the cut pieces from a glass store (you can even get it to your specification) and glue them together with silicon. There is a lot of videos and tutorials that show how to do it right. Plant you can also get from other people who keep aquariums if they have good growth. The only things you really need to buy, and should buy new, are filter and lamp.
This will b my first attempt at aquascaping and I've chosen a blackwater betta tank to be it because of how good this video is. The Info is 2nd to none for a beginner. Only problem...here in Australia this whole set up will unfortunately not be cheap...i bought some mango driftwood today for it n it cost....wait for it....$80. I can get 3 plants for $16. So u guys are lucky with how readily available n cheap stock is. Amazing cinematography yet again. Thank you
That going to be much more then 100$ in Australia ..i say more then 3 times of that ;)
Ouch :(
Ughhh sad but true, that driftwood alone would set you back nearly that much in aus!
Is it safe to use driftwood from the sea that has been sitting outside for a while?
Bianca Boman I really wouldn’t recommend that honestly, unless you want to boil it and clean it thoroughly. When in doubt leave it out
Flamingo goes for $120.
This video inspired me to get my new plakat and to build it a new home thank you for such a beautiful video..
👍🖖🤘🤙🌼😎🌮
I like this aquarium!! It’s really nice.
I did something very similar in Canada and its around $300 for a planted 3 gal vase.... Bonkers. Anyway I'm glad you have the resources because your cinematographer skills are incredible.
I priced everything you listed, it came was over $200 here. LOL! Just the driftwood was $75.
I need to move!🤣
I just stumbled across this video and HOLY MOLY, man! What a talent!! This is ART. You have a new subscriber. These are the kind of videos I'll watch at home to get a peace of mind after a long day of work!! Love it 💕
Hey! Thank you very much! :) Welcome! 😍
Beautiful thing this is for sure. No way you can do this in Canada for 92 bucks. What Utopia country do you live in. . .Lol.
Trout lol 😂 i live in canada 🇨🇦
I literally screamed when I saw this. I NEEDED THIS VIDEO. Tysm
Won't that screw rust over time? Even if galvanized, and it didn't look like medical grade or stainless steel. I just don't want people to think rusting metal is safe in their aquarium.
My thoughts eggxactly
Might have a glue or an anti rusting spray on it
@@user-me8fm5yf4n anti rusting spray LOOOOOOOOOL
MonokuroBooHokKan what
The screw isn’t underwater it’s out of the water holding the lamp up
Perfect habitat for Betta! Similar to natural one, just amazing !
Awesome job mate! I hope you inspire Betta owners all over the World!
I'll do my part of sharing and educating, to see if you can boost people's awareness to that beautiful fishs' real needs... and as you say: under 100 bucks!
Stay strong my friend!
And may all you Nano tanks become inspiration for Betta cubes to be smashed (and recycled) around the Globe!
PEACE & RESPECT >
So vintage, looks like old 90's tank.
This dude know how to make a heaven.
Gorgeous. I love when aquariums are incorporated into decor. Great choice.
'Bad for Betta good for Vabikusa I love that phrase
I can not say that i have seen a tank as beautiful as that!!!!!!!!!!
It looks so easy, but when i try it just end up not terrible, but more like meh.
Love the tank👍
t adds up fast! I did a cheap betta aquarium for my grandson (Topfin 3.5 gallon tank, filterbox, filter pads , lid with built-in lighting was 19.99 all in ( during Petsmart 50% off in Feb ). great buy for sure!!
BUT I'm $240.00+ out of pocket after buying male betta, bag of gravel, 2 small tank decorations, 2 fake plants, a Betta hammock, 1 large mossimo ball, 1 thermometer, 1 small tank heater, 1 bottle of dechlorination water Chem , 1 bottle of bacteria starter, betta food, a water VAC siphon, a fish net ... ( 8 or 12 gallons of cheap bottled spring water ... because it quickly became clear that our ammonia spike was due to the Betta NOT eating flakes or pellets ). and now we feed bloodworms. We crossed $300.00 when we purchased more moss-balls and 3 java ferns, 1 annubius, and 1 14.00 small piece of driftwood ... and new tank decoration because one started peeling it's paint.
Thank you for smashing the "Betta tank" at the end. Wow those things make me so mad
Shannell N. I agree, I hate those torture chambers
Your designs are very aesthetic
I love scape man. That betta is gonna be so happy
Very inspirational! I’m currently looking for a non high end aquarium with a Betta for my son. This definitely brings up some great ideas. It was new to me that a cover is needed for a Betta. Did they usually jump?
My next video will be more detailed on the betta side. But short story short it’s about the constant temperature. Bettas love warm water.
Bettas breathe air from the surface and if its too cold or dry they can get problems.
So the cover makes sure that the air above the tank stays at about the same temperature as the water is and that it stays humid.
Also bettas can jump and so a cover is a nice way to prevent finding a dried up fish on the floor.
Thanks mate!
They do not "usually" jump, it's a stress response to discomfort, i.e. poor water quality. The likelihood is quite minimal if you use floating plants and provide good water chemistry, at that point the lid is more of a precaution than a necessity.
@@dominic.h.3363 Bettas do, occasionally jump no matter the water quality (even if you got 0 ammonia, 0 nitrite and 0 nitrate from planting heavily). It depends on their personality and mood but bettas are indeed the most notorious jumpers in the aquarium hobby (they even jump out of water to catch food mid air). And most people who gets rimless tanks don't get floating plants.. They wanted full unblocked light for their other demanding plants. Floating plants replaces the lid, but if the tank doesn't have enough floating plants or shade, a lid is a must. The likelihood of bettas jumping out without a lid or floating plant is 50/50, it's a huge gamble. Most of the time they jump, and they ended up back in the tank, but some other time they don't...
Thank you for this video! I'm getting a betta fish soon and I'm not old enough to get a job yet, well I babysit but it isnt much money and I have a 2 birds and a hamster caswell and my parents say I I want animals I have to pay for them myself so I'm always trying to stay on a budget with the animals
I feel so bad for the betta I had when I was a kid, never making that mistake again
Just simple cheap but outstanding 😉 love it ♥️♥️♥️. BUT MY FAVORITE PART WAS THE ENDING SMASHING THAT SO CALLED BETTA TANK WAS THE MOST SATISFYING THING I EVER WITNESS!!!!! THANK YOU 😊🥰😊🥰
So, I have had this awesome idea of a native tank for my Betta with Rotala, Riccardia, Marsilea crenata etc. (strictly plants from the thailand-sumatra-indonesia triangle) ... a 14W LED light, CO2 system, ADA Amazonia Light, all that jazz. I already have all of these things except the plants and the hardscape, but seeing how good this much lower budget tank worked out, I honestly don't know how to proceed, because I like your simpler setup better than my idea of a native tank with advanced plants, and I don't know what to do with all this junk I already have. :-/
Dominic H. Hey!! You can always create something amazing, high or low tech with all kinds of materials. And if you REALLY love the low tech setup you could setup another betta or nano fish tank like this 😉
Adding additional Co2 to the tank can probably be risky with bettas because they breathe air and Co2 could accumulate above the water.
@@kiri23234 I have been using CO2 in tanks with fish that have labyrinth organs for several years, never had any issues. The surface agitation of a filter outlet is usually enough to circulate air, and since you have a partial lid anyway, there is no reason to not completely fill up the aquarium, so CO2 doesn't have a large column of air enclosed by glass to fill up. The rest is taken care of by your plants that produce enough oxygen to go around, my tanks have so many oxygen bubbles around the plants, especially the floating roots, that it looks as if I filled up the tank with soda water.
Budget $ but priceless skill, incredible.
The light is hands down the most creative aquarium idea I’ve seen, genius, plus super stylish video. ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️
P Vella Thanks a lot mate!
.... great you are showing people how to properly look after Betta fish, smash those small tanks !!
Hi there, CineScaper if you make some videos about choosing filters and blah blah, I mean a complete beginners guide in your own style it would really helpful!
Keep going on, love from Bangladesh! ❤
this is amazing
Genius vídeo, amazing cinematography and perfect message 👊

Second lol
But
More people should do this just to get rid of those dumb comments

😂😂😂😂😂

I can tell I’m sleep deprived bc it made me laugh and idk why💀 I really cannot explain why “I got it for free” is hilarious atm😂
Did you put soil or just the sand?
Great video, hugs from Brazilian aquarists!
Thank you mate! 🤝
Damn, my aquarium me la pela compared to this. 😭 good job mate
Amazing!!!! Every Betta deserves at least a setup like this!
Second I’m subbed and have notifications on luv the channel pls heart
Wow amazing video. I like how the wood is infront of the filter and slows the flow
UPDATE! ua-cam.com/video/R_Ozh6Mq8vA/v-deo.html
Unfortunate where I live all of this is very expensive 😔 that piece of driftwood you have in there would go for like $30 bucks without a doubt. Not to mention, if I bought a bundle of those plants it's would run anywhere from $20-$50 bucks and unfortunately most come with little travelers like worms and snails 🤦😔 but this is amazing and I'm glad you were able to set it up for cheap and it came out this amazing!!!♥️
wow how are all these prices so low compared to where i get them 😅
Always super stoked to see a new video! You're doing wonderful things for our hobby :)
I don't think Chamaedorea elegans likes that much water, could anyone chime in?
I think it would water propagate for several months before perhaps rotting. Not sure, as I haven't kept it in water myself. If you want an alternative, something like pothos or sweet potato can live in water for a very long time and provide a similar effect.
bianca boman the thing with pathos is that it absorbs all the nitrates in the water, and doesn't leave them for the other plant. you could try in an established planted tank when all the plants are grown in but it would still be bit risky
@@aeneas1677 interesting! I didn't think pothos was such a heavy feeder. I'll keep this in mind when setting up my tank, thanks :)
I used a Golden Pothos as my only plant on my fancy goldfish tank for a while and it worked well, but I never kept any other plants in the aquarium.
That empty aquarium is so beautiful. Your betta will love it
Wow this is a Fiat 500!
Alessandro Russo i would love to find this model car. So cool.
@@Fsuholley I made tour in Aeolian Islands with this. IG @toureoliein500
i love the light and stand!!! GENIUS!!!
Amazing but isn't a 100 dls aquarium, at least here on USA, tank $90 dlls driftwood $50 dlls sand and pebels $30, filter $25, plants $25, and the betta at least $20, so could be easily around $250 dlls whotout light, stand, heater..
You already lost that argument with the first item on your list, the alleged 90 dollar tank. Petco and other chains sell them one buck a gallon and this tank doesn't look a droplet of water above 10 gallons to me.
@Andy Rodrigues nop I know about it, at least 60 or 70 not less, imposible
@@dominic.h.3363 OK send me. The picture that's not true, I'm a frequent customer of petco. And petsmart and isn't true
@abrahamhc1 I got mine at the local fish store for 35 dollars and nicer looking than in this video. However, these rimless tanks sold out pretty quickly even smallest size. My suggestion would be shopping around before u going into a "luxurious" store.
@@hoangthinguyen8836 how. Many gallons, that one on the video it's like a 10 gallon
very nice setup. loved it when you hammered the crappy little box that some like to keep bettas in!

I love the scape but unfortunately where a lot of us live it is not that cheap! This is what I've learned over time as the cheapest way to get aquarium supplies
1. Always be on the lookout for good deals! No matter if you're setting up a tank or not if there is some sort of crazy good deal on hardscape - get it! Check the rocks at the dollar store every once in a while, and tanks at goodwill or other thrift stores.
2. The best way to get cheap rocks or stones for aquariums is to find some sort of landscaping rocks at a garden center and use them.
3. For tanks get a $1 per gallon sale tank and take the rims off and redo the silicone. Otherwise, if it's a small tank you can make it yourself.
4. Make your own glass lid at lowes or home depot.
5. The light option here is awesome! You can find cheap HOB filters and heaters online in my experience.
5. Finding wood is probably the hardest part. You can find some cheap small pieces on eBay but they take a long time to ship. If you're lucky enough to live somewhere where you could find driftwood by water (and it's legal to take) that's the best option.
6. Sifting out organic soil and topping it off works well instead of an expensive planted tank substrate. Otherwise, root tabs are a good option.
7. Check locally! See what Craigslist or Facebook marketplace has to offer.
8. eBay has a lot of good deals on plants and local stores usually aren't too bad. You can check out forums for planted tanks on Reddit and see if anyone on there is willing to sell some extra plants to you.
Man that tank is gorgeous. I have a 10 gallon tank and I’ve been wanting to get a Betta for it. This totally inspired me ^^
so beautiful. wish I could give my betta a tank like yours
I adore this, so peaceful and beautiful and looks great for any little fishy!
This is the way a Betta tank should look like, good job!!!!😀
LOVE THE Smashing of that little "betta" tank.
Amazing video mate. U were top notch in every aspect..!
Good job bro ! Your tutorials is excellent for our customers 👌🏻
I usually don't like background musics but this I can't resist lol
One of the nicest videos I've ever watched!! So helpful and the tank itself was absolutely breathtaking and beautiful on a budget!! Blessings, peace, and love from Portsmouth Virginia! 💚✌️♥️🌱🌿🐠🐟

Another beautiful video! Unfortunately everything in Australia is so much more expensive, driftwoods already cost that $100.
Thanh Binh Nguyen just curious, can you import driftwood to Australia from a cheaper place or is that a heck no?
@@alexisgeorgia only if you import bulk order like a huge amount.
