BETTA FISH TANK SETUP - NON-CO2 AQUASCAPE WITH BUILT-IN FILTER

[@KenzakiShirokawa]

"people say Betta fish do not need filtration but they do" hearing this made my day. Amazing work!

[@zoar5968]

Everything is better with a filter but they can live without one as long as it’s got plenty of plants infact they have a special way of breathing that makes them better without a filter than other fish

[@bradsimpson8724]

I like the scape. A few observations overall: 1) You're the only aquascaper I've seen that uses adhesive. You mention it making maintenance easier; how so? 2) The music seems an odd choice to me. Is there a reason you didn't go the typical way of something more calming and relaxing? 3) I do like the tutorial-style video, and I like that you don't get too pretentious and take yourself too seriously. 4) Thank you for showing how an actual proper betta environment - heated, gently filtered, and properly-sized.

[@GreenAquaShop]

1) Easier to clean the rocks with brushes, they won't move around, they won't disturb the soil, won't damage the plants. 2) Music is of personal taste, I don't comment on that. We use differenty styles for the different videos. 3) LOL, I never take myself too seriously. I would have an anxiety attack if I would. 4) Cheers, glad you like the setup. It is ideal for that fish.

[@Fsuholley]

[@sangarios]

beautiful tank, good job. really love the stones. I'm surprised about the amount of media in the filter, that's more than my 150 litre tank.

[@GreenAquaShop]

The more you use the safer you are. This has no CO2 and the temperature is really high - hence the organic decomposition is faster and stronger - so you need an efficient filtration.

[@budoyrush7144]

@@GreenAquaShop Agree. My filter is for 20G tank and im using it for my 6G..removed all the sponges and replaced with filter wool and pumice stones which is around 90% of the total canister.. Works perfectly and i never do water change only tap up. Always crystal clear and never loss a single fish/shrimp 😁

[@GreenAquaShop]

You are right. I forgot to put the bio filter media in filter bags. I will correct that mistake with the next big filter maintenance. After that, it will be easy to take everything out. Bio media can be cleaned in aquarium water, the sponges can go to the tap...

[@dallasaddis6408]

Beautiful tank (as usual)! I believe you stated on one of your other videos that you run the tanks for several weeks before introducing fish, is that correct? I love the idea of filling the filter chambers directly with the filter media. Would one be safe assuming it does not need to be changed during the life of the fish? Thank you for the work your team does at Green Aqua, you produce fantastic videos and it looks like you all enjoy working together.

[@GreenAquaShop]

Actually, the setup was shot 3 weeks ago, and we introduced the fish only the day before releasing the video and shooting the final b-roll. I forgot to put the Seachem Matrix into filter bags, will correct that mistake with the next big maintenance. I'll need to take that out for rinsing at times...

Right now I have my betta fish in a jar. Not a small one, a massive one. It's only been a day since I bought him home, so my dad said we'd buy a tank after a day or two, after seeing how well he's doing. He was in extremely poor conditions. I cant argue with him for that since we're tight on money rn. So I'm trying to provide him as much as care I can. He does look much happier than when he came, and I hope he survives as he was in extremely poor conditions. A betta fish next to his had died already being in those little bottles. I felt like I needed to take at least one home with me. I hope the little guy survives, then I can get him better food and a tank

[@goodgravy3047]

It's a pity that with all your knowledge you chose to purposely omit any space of refuge or retreat for the Betta fish and also blasted the poor fish with glaring bright light on top of it. As you know, Bettas need a low filtered light that mimics their natural habitat and places to hide to avoid bright lights and provide hiding places for security.

[@NamNguyen-ji1dq]

I love this channel so much, i learn a lot of things for free, thank you, but as a betta owner, i would like to share you some experience about betta fish. First of all, betta fish love soft water, i usually put dry catappa or banana leaf on his tank, he love dark water so much, also i do agree that betta fish tank need filter but he love a quite water surface so try to avoid affect to the surface. And last but not least that you should play with him 5 to 10 minutes by let he see himself in the mirror, betta fish and especially halfmoon betta need it, it make his tail stronger and avoid fin rot, and if you see his bubbles nest on the surface that prove he in his best condition.
