Building a Simple Betta Tank: TUTORIAL

[@lettuceforlife4827]

I take care of my betta like it’s my child. Fish keeping is like having a zen garden for me. I love to see my fish happy, and I love getting new plant and having them flourish. It’s a fun hobby that I hope more people find!

[@sultanul69]

Agreed 🐠

[@fatalsoldier1343]

I had one a few years back I had it for about 2 year a friend had it before me but it died :( what the correct way to keep one so it doesn’t die do I need to have I filter or can I just change the water every week or two? And how big does the tank need to be can I use my 3 gallon one?

[@lettuceforlife4827]

Fatal Soldier you can use a 3 gallon with a betta but if you really want it to flourish go for a five gallon. I would definitely recommend a filter as a first time fish keeper. Also take some time to learn about the nitrogen cycle in fish tanks it’s super important. I recommend a betta as a fist fish but if you want to get a different fish there are so many options.

[@fatalsoldier1343]

Ok thank you

[@tonibauer2949]

With all the videos now available and gorgeous tanks to be seen, I think interest has to grow. And so much information is available compared to when I started in about 1990. I can’t believe some of the misinformation I was given trying to start a tank.

Some bettas like a place to feel secure. I have two betta tanks. Each has a cichlid hollow rock. One betta loves to go in and out and he sleeps in it. The other doesn't seem to care too much. I would maybe try a hollow rock or cave to see if he likes it.

[@macylouwho1187]

Gwendolyn Rice I’ve got my plakat betta in a 20 gallon planted jungle. Short tail bettas do really well in bigger spaces, this is a nice set up but you really can go from this size on up if it’s a short tail betta. I have chili rasboras, mystery snails, and neocaridina shrimp in with mine because there are so many plants that they can hide or get away from the betta if necessary. So it’s possible to have a schooling style fish tank with a plakat betta instead of just one fish in a smaller tank.

[@Redheadkat99]

Do you find that your water has a film on top? Even with a filter running?

[@RegisAquatics]

The film will eventually go away once the tank establishes itself. Surface agitation helps, floating plants, bubblers, etc. If all else fails you can use a cup to remove the film every couple of days

[@nellibelya5236]

Can you use any super glue for the moss or is there a special glue you have to buy? Also gorgeous tank! :D

My betta fish keeps me going. He's so beautiful and I would go out of my way just to make him feel at his best. Right now, I believe I have a 3 gallon tank for him, but next month I'll upgrade to a 10 gallon. His current tank has an LED light, but it was a bit too bright, so I used plastic mesh over it to make it dimmer. However, I am a beginner in fish keeping, but I believe with the right advise and tutorials, I can be great at it. Can you give me any good tips? Like the nitrogen cycle or dos and don'ts?

[@thejasminedragonmerchant6843]

@@TheShar31 Sorry to interrupt, but please don't just boil your rocks! aquariumtidings.com/adding-rocks-to-aquarium/ If you're going to boil rocks from your yard to use (if it must come from your yard, or even anywhere else), please remember to make sure it's not going to negatively change your water quality and be sure to keep an eye on it while boiling, as rocks that cook at high enough temperatures can actually explode!

[@Jagadeeshpottipati]

Hi.. you can actually use any rock from ur surroundings.. but there are certain exceptions you need to avoid. Because most rocks contain metals like copper and iron. So before you select any rock just pour a couple drops of vinegar on the rock and observe for a few mins. If the vinegar drop fizzes, that rock doesn't fit in the aquarium. If it doesn't.. you are good to use it after some decent wash. Having metal traces in ur rocks can alter the alkalinity of the water which harms both the plants and fish.

[@glenncordova4027]

I used rocks from the yard one time without cleaning or sterilizing them and they must have had eggs from tadpole shrimp because they hatched in my tank. Fortunately they're very good companions to the fish.
