I Have Soooooooo Much Respect To People That Actually Maintain More Than 1-2 Fish Tanks. Especially The People Who Genuinely Care For Fishies
Me too
Bitch I eat fish itz so yummy
I have 5 tanks and one balcony pond
This is exactly what I was planning on doing! I guess it’s not as original as I once thought lmao, looks amazing btw!:)
Hi there! Had a lot of fun making this lucky bamboo tank. If you have any questions leave them below and I'll be sure to answer :)
Hi... How bout the filtration or you just do constant water change? Nice vid!
Which cheaper filter will you recommend for this tank?
And I love so I am planning to do this tank design in future.
NAMMO BUDDHAY 💙🙏😘
Hi I'm a big fan can you please tell me all about the products name you used in the video
Is this a form of art? Because i'm loving it. 1000/10
imo, yes absolutely 🌿
I want to use bamboo in my betas tank but he has a lid tank and a heater can I still add bamboo???
This was awesome! Can you do a video on the basics of making a DIY tank? E.g. what kind of glass, silicone, substrate, filters/pumps, and the other basics of making a tank water tight and suitable for fish? Thanks!!
For sure! I think making a tank should be more common as it’s not as difficult as it looks (at least for smaller tanks 😅). If you check out the desktop tank I use silicone and glass to construct that. You can build whatever your imagination can think up. I will say that doing the measurements ahead of time and having someone else cut the glass for you is the best route. Cutting your own glass by hand is very difficult and takes a lot of time and patience. Most hardware/glass shops will do it for free if you have the dimensions!
I will try to link all the materials for these tanks soon. Thanks for the comment Simon! 😊
Bamboo is the best low maintenance plant for everything 🥰
Such a fun, neat tank! Thank you for sharing!!
Thanks Ash, hoping to bring more awesome projects to you in the future!
These videos are so calming to watch
This is my favorite one
Love your videos!
Bro what i was looking for,finally a person who cares for betta❤❤❤❤ also can u give tips on big setup tanks for cleaning ty
I’m thinking of setting up a tank like this once I’ve finished setting up my 275 litre tank.
Could I ask; how many litres is your bamboo betta tank? Also, what model heater did you use? I saw in a comment you said it’s aqueon but I would like something uninvasive and was curious which one you used.
Great question it is 24x24x10" so around 25 gallons. The filter is in fact aqueon, I really like the 78F preset temperature. I've measured it using a thermometer and it holds true! I rarely need to change the temperature and having the dials adds bulk and length to the heater. Highly recommend!
Very peaceful, love it
Very artistic. Just curious I don't see a leaf pad for resting since bettas need that with their heavy fins.
Can you make a tank that looks like a mangrove forest ? It would look pretty cool I think !
Lucky bamboo is India's home luck plant it is used for giving luck
Hi! I love the minimalistic look of this tank and would love to recreate it as my very first fish tank. A couple quick questions though (please excuse my inexperience):
1. I've read about "adding CO2 in my research. Would this tank require that?
2. Would I be able to add a few tank mates so my betta doesn't get lonely and would I need to change anything in this design to reflect the additions? For example, if I add a couple snails/shrimp I would need to add more plants, etc.
Thanks in advance and I love watching your videos!
Having tank mates depends on the betta's personality also yes co2 is necessary yes you need to add plants when keeping shrimp,shrimpy usually eat brown alage(produced from plants) i hope this helped you! Also don't keep duckweed with shrimp
The comment above is wrong.
The plants that are inside the water in the video, are slow growers. They don't need CO2 at all, and neither does the lucky bamboo because it gets co2 and oxygen from outside the tank. Also plants don't need co2 injection. It just speed things up but it's not a must to have planted tanks at all.
About tank mates, depends on your aquarium size, if its a 5 gallon id say some snails and shrimp if you have lots of cover for them, if its a 10 gallon you could add pigmy corydoras or some chilli rasboras, never put another betta in there because they'll kill each other or hurt each other very badly.
Cherry shrimp LOVE floating plants, that includes duckweed, they'll graze on the duckweed and hang there, I just don't recommend getting duckweed in general because it reproduces too fast, which means you'll have to do much more maintenance taking out the excess duckweed
I would live in this tank. 😆 Perfect “lil Bali”. 🎋🎋🎋🎋🎍🎍🎍🎍🥰
I’d give this 100 👍🏽s up if I could.
Hello, nice setup.. However using real bamboo (Bambusoideae) instead of lucky bamboo might be more suitable. Real bamboo would be closer to the Betta’s natural habitat, which could help your fish feel more comfortable. Keep up the good work
Wow your an amazing scaper!!!
🥰🥰🥰
Thumbs up for acclimateing fish ❤️❤️
beautiful period..........
Hi!! I want to make this tank so I have a few questions
What type of water filter do you use... and would you recommend a heater for betta in this tank?
Would duckweed overmultiply?
How would you suggest cleaning this tank?
Where do you buy your tanks?
Also is there any tips on how to control algae accumulation?
Thanks so much :))
So many great questions!
- I used an internal Aqueon filter for this as I liked the sleek design, but you could use a small canister or hang on if you preferred
-Definitely would always recommend a heater for a Betta tank, I like the Aqueon compact due to their size and preset 78F temperature
- I like using Giant Duckweed as it is easier to remove from the tank, but yes duckweed will eventually cover the surface but I love the look of it! It’s a personal preference. This tank has low light plants so it won’t affect them with the top completely covered and the betta loves it!
- I use a siphon and do 30% weekly water change it’s very simple. A magnet for the algae on the glass and secret is to buy a turkey Bastet to remove debris on the sand when it shows up, keeping it super white!
- this one was made locally but I would suggest buying local if you can and it’s cheaper otherwise finding none online you like and having it shipped! I love the rimless look and it may be harder to find locally
- floating plants like duckweed will suck almost all of the nitrates from the water and you’ll have little to no algae, they also reduce light into the tank so less algae. If you have algae issues the fastest way to reduce it is lower light strength, less light hours and more frequent water changes to reduce nitrates!
hey !! if you’re looking into betta lucky bamboo tanks i’ve fallen in love with the one by ‘ Regis Aquatics ‘ he made a video not too long ago titled “ Building a Lucky Bamboo Betta Aquarium “ and i’d recommend that one more but it’s all personal preference. even so i think you should check it out and i think you’d love it !! good luck with your future tank !!
That is freaking gorgeous
Well made video. This fish is luckier than the bamboos
Im curious about the bamboo. Was it turning yellow overtime because of the light? Or it will just do fine ?
Wow
❤
I know this video is 3 years old, but I was wondering. Did you use artificial sand or actual sand from the beach? I live on an island and I can easily get actual sand but I'm unsure if it will be safe for freshwater fish and the lucky bamboo. I plan on washing the sand with fresh water thoroughly and let it soak for a day to get the salt out maybe? But I don't want to risk hurting my fish babies. Any advice if I can go ahead with this please?
sooo cuteee
How do you keep the tank clean? I’d imagine that it would take alot of work to take everything back out lol.
nice i am still wondering about the bubbler for my betta i live in a hot country i am scared that there would be a lack of oxygen
Love this ❤️❤️❤️👆🏻
This is simple to make for any fishes
I didn't know that there was a bamboo named "lucky bamboo" so when I saw the title I thought like the bamboo was lucky to be in the tank,I mean the bamboo was lucky to be in a beautiful tank
super cool, how long will you keep your each tank creation? as you have many of them
Wow it 's so pritty
How have i not subscribed to u yet???
I set up a dwarf frog tank and put some lucky bamboo in it. I set the tank up about a month ago and I’m having severe melt problems with the bamboo and I really don’t know what the issue is. The tank was set up with the following: a gravel bottom layer, root tabs on top of the gravel, capped off with black sand. Bamboo was planted right into the sand, with the roots in contact with that root tab layer. Some tank ornaments are included as well. The tank is 3gal and has a 50W heater to keep the tank around 75 deg F, and a small hang on back filter. I do 25-50% water changes weekly.
The bamboo looked fine for the first two weeks or so, but started to show signs of melt soon after. After leaving the tank for the weekend, the bamboo is severely melting now. I know bamboo can be planted either partially or fully submerged. Some of the stalks and leaves are fully submerged, some have the leaves partially poking out of the water. Both are melting, so it could be a chemical imbalance - my water here in Pennsylvania is quite hard so maybe that’s a factor. The one thing my tank is missing is an overhead light. I put the tank by an east facing window figuring it was getting enough natural light, but I’ve never heard of lack of sufficient light causing melt.
I’m probably gonna have to toss this set of bamboo because I don’t think it can be salvaged. Any advice would be appreciated.
Thanks.
You had to add a substrate in that
Im so late but lucky bamboo can't be fully submerged because the leaves rot!
it is beautiful.am going to try making one...do i need to add any fertilizer?
Hi I love the idea of lucky bamboo in the aquarium. I heard betas have a tendancy to jump though... what do you think of the risk of such an open tank?
I’ve tried this tank before when I tried the betta rarely jumped and when it did the bamboo didn’t let it so o would say it’s not that bad and the risk is minimal
Where did you get the Buddha, I’ve only seen smaller Buddha’s.
But how do you clean the sand from fish poo and uneaten food?
The sand is quite fine so the debris stays on top and I just use a siphon to remove! Great question
Hi there so beautiful, what is the filter u use for this tank dear?
What is the size of the tank in cm
It doesn't require any kind of filter
wow Beautiful.I have a doubt,do we need co2 for the plant mainly for bamboo,pls clarify me.Thanks
I don't think you need CO2 for the lucky bamboo. The leaves are not fully submerged so they can get the CO2 directly from the air
Coral dust or normal sand ??
Great👍
Any update on this tank a month later?? Always a set up but never an update to see if it last.
Which cheaper filter will you recommend for this tank?
And I love so I am planning to do this tank design in future
That tank looks so cool -where did you get your bamboo bc I’m planning on doing this
What’s the best soil for fish tanks? What does she use here? I want to try soil and sand. My plants keep dying
How do you clean it????? I really want this in my home but I don't wanna kill my future Betta or bamboos...
It's honestly very easy to clean! I use a siphon for weekly water changes and lightly suck detritus off the sand. I use a turkey baster for day-to-day removal of any waste on the sand. Use a small magnetic cleaner to remove glass algae. That's it!
Hi, question what is the substrate for? Love it though
Substrate is used to help plants root and also to hide any visible fish waste. Plus it looks good
Yes exactly! The substrate is full of nutrients for the plants (in this case the bamboo) and helps them root and grow healthy. You can alternatively use root tabs but I've had varying success!
@@AquariumInfo thank you for the tip for us noobies 🤘😊
How many gallons? Size please. Thank you
Could you please inform me about how should i use white sand? I went to an aquarium shop and they told me to not to use white sand for beta tanks :(((
Hi! I’m looking to recreate this tank, how many gallons is the fish tank? I saw you put the website of where to purchase.
Do you have a link from the tank?
But. I. Have a doubt does this will able to survive or will die
The only plant that is available to me is the lucky bamboo. Should I go ahead and built a tank like this with just bamboo or not?
Definitely! Send me a picture once you're done
@@AquariumInfo Sure, I will
What kind of fertilizer do you use?
Can you mention the size of the tank
where did you buy the fish tank or was it a DIY?
Which substrate you have used ? Please Tell
What is this "white sand" you mention in the video? It's not like regular sand you can find at the beach.
Just white aquarium sand
what size tank did you use? and where from?
How many days you've wait to put the betta fish after setting up the tank ?
You have to wait a few weeks till the tank it finish cycling
How to clean ? Just remove all when cleaning ?

Is the light suspended from the ceiling?
This light is just a simple desk lamp! It was $30 on amazon but works great for the bamboo, floating plants and java fern. It also looks classy ☺
@@AquariumInfo stunning tank. I've got to try this. Thank you!
A Beata needs a heater n filter
At the very end she has both in the corner of the tank.

BamBuddha
Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooowwwwwwwwww😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
What kind of water do I need I used bottle water but don't know how to cure it any help please??
Great question, this is simply tap water! I would always recommend to buy a test kit and check your water is suitable parameters for the type of fish you're keeping. It generally is but sometimes you can have very hard/soft water or an unusual pH. It is then always important to add a conditioner to the water to make sure you remove any chlorines/chloramines in the water. If you're using bottled water that is probably OK if it's spring water. I would avoid RO/Distilled water as it has almost no mineral content (very low TDS) and isn't great for fish
I am actually Vietnamese and that is Buddha that is in that tank. buddha says do not kill anything. some people kill animals and do not kill anything
