Ep.3 Sweet Potato Betta Tank (Meet Kartoffel) - No filter, No CO2, NO ferts 4.5 Gallon Nano Tank
Вставка
- Опубліковано 4 жов 2024
- Kartoffel is a wild species called Mahachai betta.
Everything’s going well so far. Kartoffel’s tail did become a spade shape. He has settled in quite well. He decided that he didn’t like the shrimp anymore and partially ate all of them. He was fine with them for about 3 weeks, then all of sudden, it happened all within a day or two. I’m curious about how long the sweet potatoes will last in this tank, too.
I trained my betta by showing his food before feeding, every day.
I cut the roots too much at one point. It took a long time for the sweet potatoes to recover.
There were so many awesome names in the last video’s comment section!!! I’ve never heard such an amazing betta names. I think it’s the best collection of betta names in the world! Thank you all for participating.

when the leaf popped open i was absolutely delighted
Me too 😂
.-. I'm stupid so I don't understand ;-;
ericko suave t h e l e a f p o p p e d u p a n d e l l a w a s h a p p y
That was absolutely beautiful!
satisfying to watch
I am emotionally invested in this fish
GUY EPING one you name it, you start getting attached to it! Now put that thing back where it came from, or so help me!
So help me! The musical!
Haha oooooh you guys made my day with those comments 😂🤗😍
go watch his new video now, Kartoffel is 2 years and 9 months old now
What's happen to Dante the red Betta?
Anyone else crack a small smile when that leaf opened after being gently sprayed? These videos are so relaxing to watch.
I did
They really are relaxing aren't they ?
this guy is a genus. he should be banned from youtube . youtube became shit hole for toxic and sexuell content. he shouldnt be here .
mhmd abou I hope you’re trolling, UA-cam is a platform where creators can share whatever content they want as long as it abides with UA-cam’s rules. Banning this great dude would make no sense.
@@k_benicool you didnt get it then . I mean such a nice person should be preserved due to intoxicated channels . I mean the opposite of ban that all the chanels showed be like this chanel
"Air was too dry so a leaf didn't open."
Meh okay.
*spritz
*leaf opens
😲😲😲
I'm completely sucked in to these videos. 😅
RIGHT?
There's a guy who pays attention. 😊
How does this channel make even a house spider a charming visitor?
That was a charming little jumping spider. They’re quite cute really.
House spiders can be a treat. They get rid of so many pests and often stay out of sight
He was cute. What is moving on the top of his head under the skin?
House spiders are harmless. They are also great pests catcher. Unless you live in Australia
Bro if you think that’s cute you’re insane.
you can feel the love this person has for aquatic life and how much they care for it. I'm so glad these cuties have an owner like them.
Yeah.. can you tell me wtf he doing, does? Love the video but got no clue wtf all this is
Im your 666th like
@@imdone8243 it's aquascaping as well as making a sustainable ecosystem. i might not be exactly right here
@I'm done, the creator said in another comment that the purpose of the potato is that the roots help filter the water so that’s one thing. Plenty of stuff I didn’t really get either but it’s cool to watch!
Mono's Subs their camera real good too which is sooooo good
Imagine being a beta fish in PetSmart and this guy adopts you.
OMG I will lov that
After being abused>:( peeps need more respect like him
I got a free beta from Petco cause they were gonna throw it out he was all messed up. He lived 4 more years his name was Nemo cause he lost most of his right fin some of his left and some tail but he was a trooper
@@DollsSolver as a rule I dont buy Betts from pet store because they are so badly mistreated if people stop buying them they'll stop selling them. There is a breeder near me that takes very good care of them and I've seen his setup but I didnt wanna let them throw it out when he was still alive
@@brandondirocco9816 but also you can treat them back to health
Friendly Cats omg i died with ur comment
i was feeling anxious, depressed and overall down resignated on life, then i stumbled upon your videos... and im still kinda depressed but, now its much more bearable, i love your videos
Toto Takto hi I hope your happy 🙂
I had just had a conversation about my father's last few days and then I opened this video. I feel better now.

I want a setup like this but as soon as i read “weekly water change” i got over it.
BORN IN SALT it’s possible to have set ups that don’t require water changes. you just have to have the right balance of fish, plants, and detritus eaters. I’ve been running a 5gal planted tank for three years and no water changes.
You don't have to do weekly water changes. If your tank has a balanced ecosystem, you can do monthly or less water changes. This can, of course, take a while as your tank slowly establishes what it needs. Just check your ammonia, nitrite, and nitrate weekly. If the parameters are good, no need to do a water change.
This person seems to do 50% weekly, but when my tank was newly cycled, I only did 10-25% and that's not a lot of work, especially since it's just a nano tank.
@@justsomenuts I'd love to do exactly what you've described! How did you learn this skill set, and do you have any learning resources you could suggest based upon firsthand experience?
@@busyrand Just do lots of research before you get started and especially before you buy anything. There are lots of products out there that are designed to be cheap, and won't actually be a good home for your fish. I'd recommend looking into the Walstad method, and really planning out what you need before you spend money, because it's really easy to make stray purchases that you won't use/don't need, and it's important to be completely prepared before you start an aquarium.
That said, the aquarium hobby is super fun, relaxing, and fulfilling and I highly recommend it. A local fish store is a great place to start if you can find one near you - otherwise there are tons of great online resources!
@@starwarslego12 Thank you for your recommendations! I took notes and will look into the Walstad method you mentioned and also take notes. I've got a degree in Biology with a background in Lab Research and would absolutely love to dive into this as a hobby that synthesizes creations of all the things I've learned over the years with a new school of thought. Thanks!
My favorite part is when kartoffel goes: “...” cracks me up every time 😂
i wish i cared about anything as much as this person cares about their aquariums
so true
Not even your parents
It’s 3am and I’m eating half a tub of ice cream watching these videos
Aren't they amazing? On top of being beautiful and relaxing they're really well done, and the yt cares about his little fish friends.
Haha me too
sometimes i do this, too
One of usss
BnG Darkish I wish I did eat ice cream instead of icing ooo the craving was to much for this one
Those fish close-ups are incredible beautiful!
You can see every pigment on its body... Very good camera. :o
Thanks for using my recording of gran vals (Nokia Tune). It worked well if I do say so myself lol. It makes me happy to see that your channel is doing well and that you have an awesome guitar solos video! Cheers!

I've never been happier. Thank you, algorithm.
“Yeah I cut too much”
Snips one more time 😅
He must have realised he cut too much, while editing the video.
@@abhaysurya1892 i like to think that he was like, well i cut too much but the ugly part is still there and theres no going back now so i might as well
Me when I try cutting my own hair
I want to start one of these.
Lucas the spider making an appearance at the end haha
Lol
You have the most relaxing yet captivating videos on UA-cam!
"A bubble nest"
I was instantly happy.
What is it?
@@eknathgawade6726 In this case, the bubble nest indicates a healthy, happy fish. These nests are also used to safeguard eggs.
Eknath Gawade
I found someone named Alex H. quote this from an article in another comment:
“It is all to do with the breeding process. In the wild, male bettas cluster small bubbles on the water surface, or underneath floating debris and leaves to build their nests.
The male betta will guard its nest and will wait for (or find) a female to spawn with. Soon after spawning the female betta fish releases eggs. It is the male betta fish’s job to swiftly capture the eggs in its mouth and place the eggs securely into the bubble nest.”

can you make a tutorial on like nano tanks for beginners? like how you choose everything? and decision/thinking processes for setup
The spider was so cute
*pooping spider you mean ;) 6:39
That's called a cute nope also know as less nopedy nope
*SPORODOR*
I thought he was gonna feed his beta fish the spider
oh yeah it actually looked so much alike with Lucas!! wowowow
Hold up, do I hear the Nokia phone ringtone?
DANNYdaMENACE yes! I remember learning one time that it came from this song.
Yes, you do. It came from this song.
Literally me
at first I was spooked by the spider
and then I remembered Lucas
love that Lil guy
I thought about Lucas too! 😁 ❤️
I immediately shouted "LUCAS!"
House spider is good, get rid of mosquito. Practically harmless too.
Love you too
@@lucasas8002 😂
This dude is vacuuming gravel out of his custom hand crafted tank, and I cant even vacuum my room...
I hope when I die I’m reincarnated into a fish and this man adopts me
What a joy this channel is, have loved every video of it :)
Same, it's such eye and even ear candy ❤️ I love the background music
This simple but quality content is what always gives me that genuine happy feeling. I love it and keep it up!
Yesssss!! I love this whole Betta series😁😁😁
Hi this is ur first reply on this vid
me too :)
Me too
Or u can say jobless person series....nothing to do so mch
@@dewkc6421 you assume he doesn't have a job because he owns a fish?? You're special aren't you?
When the song that's playing has the Nokia ringtone you know it's good
It’s just absolutely mesmerizing to me how he’s actually quite literally creating life out of two potatoes, some rocks, some sand thing and water. It’s pure bliss to see how things that are so basic like an actual potato to come to life, BREATH and grow. Life is amazing. This person is amazing.
Kartoffel xD I'm german and this made me smile :D
Same😂
Kartoffel -> Kartofel.
Kartofel in polish = 🥔
XD
In danish it's also kartoffel 😊
It's "kartofel" in russian 😂
it's "Cartof" in Romania. means "Potato".
Sweet potatoes look nutrient deficient. Looks like a general deficiency, the stems are super purple so adding a general nutrient 1-1-1 with some magnesium and micro should fix it... all the growth should be a light green.
If you cut too many roots, take some of the foliage off to counter balance the loss.
Eventually the fish waste would replace that in the water- I think that is supposed to be the idea. Organic balance. Although a squirt or so of vermicompost liquid would probably work as well.
Makes me wanna do a planted betta tank
Heavily planted tanks are best for bettas, if you want to quickly fill it, try hornwort and java moss. Make sure the tank is at least 10 gallons, preferably a 20 gallon long (not tall). Hope I helped!
Why not?
Joey Bekius why not tall tanks? Cus taller tanks have less water surface area
@@Oliver-ni8kr yeah I know, I meant why not start a planted tank
@@Oliver-ni8kr it's actually because bettas breath air, and too tall a tank can be dangerous
Your acquariums are a work of art. As a Child I had many acquariums. I would take at books from the library and and read about various fish. Your videos bring back good memories. I could sit for hours watching the movements of the fish. The lives of these various creatures fascinated me and thats how I feel watching your videos.
1:44-1:47
Isn't that the old Nokia tune? LOL
omg
Nokia actually stole or bought the rights to that Classical tune. It's a composition of Francisco Terrega, a classical music. The music is called "Grand Vals"
Yep I recognized it too
cherry blossoms lol I was already getting spongebob vibes with this music
i forgot the name of the song but it was somekind of a....
okay nvm completely forgot now
You can harvest the leaves and cook them! They are delicious with a little bit of olive oil and soy sauce.
Don't forget some minced garlic too.
Yes this whole time i was waiting to see a sauté pan 😂
I ate them yams leave everyday
Really? I had no idea! :)
Yes it’s very common in Asia but the leaves here looks more soft
I will actually pay to watch this on Netflix lol, I have been watching these videos the whole morning.
Hopefully if you say this, you are already one of his patreon supporters
Oh 💕 Clair de lune in the end made my heart smile.
So happy to see these fish being cared for instead of just floating in a bare bowel. This fish has plants, live food, tank mates, places to explore and hide, proper water paramaters, daily activities and a good owner. Two thumbs up.
I really like your choice of background music, very calming and nice.
The leaf opening up was so very satisfying. Your videos are amazing.
This seems like A LOT of work. But wow it’s super entertaining to watch
Deny Rodriguez
it's a labor of love ☺️
I suppose it could be a lot of work, but when we compare it to the free time we spend watching other people do it we could probably do it ourselves. :) or the time we watch television, Etc. It's just hard to force ourselves to start.
I bet this guy is the person that sees a burglary and is like “welp, that’s what happened today” and then carry’s on. So calm
I want someone to care for me as much as this guy cares for his fish and plants
Clever use of the rock anchor for the Hornwort; also I hadn't seen a sweet potato used before. I tended to favor Water Lettuce or Water Hyacinth for the 'roots in the water' angle. Obvious and ingenious.
Kartoffel is also potato in russian
kartof is potato in bulgarian
Kartoffel is potato in Armenian too
Potato is kartoshka in Russian kartoffel is probably potato in some other language
@@veravandyuk6045 officially it is kartoffel, kartoshka is not that formal. Armenians use the word kartoshka too.
@@veravandyuk6045the formal word is kartofel and don't argue with me in russian
I love your videos and how you care about those animals and plants. A truly lover that study every detail. Also you remind me the same passion that my father had too. I remember watching him changing the water of the tank and everytime splash everything out hahaha he was so clumsy and funny to watch. But in his little world, he did care about those little friends. I miss him and his goodness a lot. Keep it up! See you next video my friend!
Hornwort.... The first aquatic plant i ever know by watching your videos, and now im starting to love this plant and add it to all of my tanks
물고기, 식물, 고양이, 이제는 거미까지 ㅋㅋㅋ
완벽한 영상이네요👍
That close up of the spider was amazing. Subbed
only you can make a spider look cute

I love the leaves on the sweet potatoes and this whole concept in general. Thanks for sharing!
This person is running a nearly 500k sub channel with a cellphone, a $20 clip on lens kit, and a passion. Incredible.
Dude, your appreciation for nature and how to take care of it is amazing. Your approach to appreciating everything and even showing your demeanor through music is quite the balance and monicur of how amazingly delicate nature actually is. Thank you for your desire to show love and tender hearted shepherding. Dunno if thats a word that is comparible.
His scales tho deymm 👌 Absolutely stunning!
Finally!!! Gonna go home and enjoy it on a bigger screen
watching this makes me cry :'). you captured beautiful lifes inside your room. even the spider looks so cute and mesmerizing.
Good god. I was stressed about so many things and I watched your channel for half hour straight and I could physically feel the stress leaving me. God bless you man, your life's work is amazing.
Kartofell is beautiful, the spider at the end was a real cutie.
When the cat went “😐” it kinda hit different.
that moment when he sprayed the dry leaf and it opened...
ok this is my new favourite kind of videos
3:34 *I will show this to my wife. Maybe cheer her up.*
Why is this so soothing? And why is Kartoffel so cute?
Your videos make me feel so much beautiful things. You're an awesome human being and all the love and care you place on nature and tiny details of biological events make me cry of happiness.
Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.
Beautiful 😍 The spider at the end it is a salticidae SP.
Oceania Oceania I’m guessing they’re friendly?
@@historynetwork7438 they're not dangerous 😊 to me this kind of spider are so cute 😍
First time since Nemo I've ever thought a fish was cute
Thank you for making these videos. They really help me come down from panic attacks and they are beautiful to watch
I have anxiety, sometimes it’s unbearable . These videos help me more than you could ever imagine. Satie is also a favorite.
Thank you.
man jumping spiders are so amazing you can just tell by looking at them they are super smart it's on of the few spiders i don't mind walking on me
6:14 😭 That was the song for my dogs tribute video. I miss her SOOO much. RIP Pogo ❤
What is it called?
Goodjob with the dried leaf. Watching it unfold was strangely... satisfying.
The close ups of the fish and that spider at the end are stunning
you have such a beautiful relationship with your animals (and plants!) I am in love with these little natural microcosms
6:34 lucas is that you ?
Came for this
this is literally the most epic thing ever
the amount of love and peace in this video is just so charming, thank you
This is Pixar level storytelling. I swear this relaxes my brain and takes away my anxiety. Thank you so much.

Everybody Gangsta until Foo starts playing Nokia Ringtone in his video
What a cutest spider ever !!! I always love your videos ~ cool merch👍
this betta fish having a good life makes me extremely happy.
going into pet shops and seeing how they keep the betta fish makes me want to take them all home but sadly thats not possible so i’m glad you treat your baby good :)
!!! HE'S A MAGIC MAN!!!! HE OPENED THE LEAF WITH WATER!!! I!! AM!!! SO!! IMPRESSED!!!
Hope we get a house spider arch in the next season of this anime
Yaaa Kartoffel!
I would love to be a fish in this guy’s house
I was thinking the same think! Best fish life ever!
I don’t even know what I’m watching but I’ve watched three videos already because it’s so relaxing.
Maybe it’s because I’m a Pisces, lol, but these videos are the most meditative videos ever. They are so peaceful and calming.
house spider wanted to get to know Kartoffel :D
I've never found a fish cute before, until this video.
Hello
These are very interesting videos. I love the music, I studied at Juilliard.
Why the almomd water? Why the sweet potatoes? I thought that potatoes would need soil to grow.
You are very patient and meticulous. I love the water element, it's calming.
Shaun of NYC
Almond leaf slight colours the water, the roots of the sweet potatoes feed and absorb nitrogen/nitrite levels from the tank water as theres no filter plus it adds nice decor inside and outside the tank.
@@Tempestni02 what other plants could this be done with that are not potatoes?
It's crazy the difference between Kartoffel and the fish you see in a sad little bowl at the pet store. He looks so vibrant and happy.
"His tail became spade shaped"
Yeah it did... I'm crying....
I opened my merch store.
Would you create an Instagram profile in the future?
I’ll buy your merch when I get my paycheck
Hey! Roughly how much do you think it cost to make this setup overall? I would love to make one like it. It's a shame nobody is selling these.
I tried buying this but they want $15 for shipping to Australia and its $51 total. Is there any way you can use another website that isn't so expensive because I want to support you.
Those are really neat designs.
Lucas is that you??
Seriously i wanna learn this hufflepuff shiz.
Why are these videos so relaxing? Thank you for sharing them.
The healthiest hornwort I’ve ever seen! Mine crumbles apart even when it grows tall. Forever in awe of these aquatic masterpieces. 🤍
So he is basically god and he is creating a world for this plants and this beta.
You have a nice tank, and kartoffel is pretty too.
What was your inspiration for putting potatoes is your tank? Also what camera do you use?
