Divided Betta Tank - Step by step setup!

[@jesselox3470]

My big non pregnant stomach also takes a lot of space 😂

[@driinun8433]

For breeder purposes this is a really good option, but I don't recommend this for a long-term setu-up. Sharing water tends to stress out the fish, as they release pheremones in the water (so even if two males can't see each other, they know there's another male nearby). The other concern is that really often I see this as a way for people to collect as many bettas as possible and make as small of a compartment as possible, and this is problematic for obvious reasons. Please, if you are doing this as a long term set-up for your bettas, do a lot of extra water changes to keep those pheremone levels in the water down, and provide each long-finned male with at least 5 gallons and each short-finned male or any female with at least 10 gallons (take into account the height of the tank, a divided 20 long with two 10 gallon compartments won't give the fish as much horizontal swimming space as an individual 10 gallon would.)

@@Adrianefan68259 exactly... these tanks are shit for bettas

[@deborahjeanne2141]

I have to agree with you. While this might be better than “jars” (OMG), the poor fish are still cramped. I have a 15G tank - divided in half - black divider with holes 1 Betta on each side and a couple of Cory’s on each side as well, plenty of plants, driftwood, and caves. My fish are very happy which is what it’s all about. Would I like more bettas? Absolutely! But my reality is I don’t have the space or time for more than 2 tanks - I have a 20G community tank as well. And again, it’s all about the fish - it’s not about me.

[@RavenRaven]

@@deborahjeanne2141 exactly

[@driinun8433]

@@deborahjeanne2141 I'm glad somebody agrees! When it comes to long-term homes (I personally believe in 5 gallons minimum per long-finned male, 10 minimum per short-finned male or female) this is obviously way too small, although considering Taylor has a lot of betta offspring I don't expect her to house each one in it's own individual 5-10 gallon tank; it's just not possible, considering how many offspring each fish has. I don't have any problems with this sort of set-up as a short-term grow-out tank, my real concern is with viewers seeing this and deciding to cram their tank full of as many bettas as possible. My other concern is with the possible stress of a divided tank. With proper water changes to keep the pheremone levels down it works, but I have a feeling a lot of people won't end up doing that and they'll just end up with a bunch of stressed out bettas in cramped compartments.

In the wild Bettas can live in smaller areas during drought seasons but when the rainy season comes they get to move into large bodies of water. I’ve had them in both small spaces and other ones. However, the ones in larger tanks tended to thrive better. It would kinda be like a human living in a small bedroom that functions as living, sleeping, eating and bathroom all in one. I’m by far not a keyboard warrior or troll but I do think they would probably thrive in larger environments.

I use a paludarium internal filter for my betta divided tank believe it or not with a turnover rate of 80 gph. You can adjust the flow too. I like that when I adjust the flow to its lowest, the spray bar creates a trickling effect and there's a lot of surface agitation providing the bettas and live plants more oxygen.

[@adamm457]

I did this with a 20L as well but I wanted them to be isolated from each other (for qt purposes). I bought a sheet of cast acrylic (opaque black) and cut it into three pieces. Next I siliconed the dividers in, dividing the tank into 4 5ish gallon tanks. I put a 10 gallon heater at each end, undergravel filters in each section, and a large Java Fern on wood in each, as well. I have a betta in each section. They are thriving and loving life with their sassy little selves and I like it as well. The coolest thing is I only have to change water every 2-3 weeks, but I do it every week because I am already changing other overstocked tanks anyway.

[@SimplyBetta]

That sounds great! I'm not an experienced tank maker, does silicone hold onto acrylic well?

[@adamm457]

@@SimplyBetta It is holding up very good for the dividers no yellowing or cracking. I have read that building an acrylic tank with silicone instead of solvent based adhesive is a bad idea.

[@driinun8433]

You have to take more into account than tank size. Could the movement of tanks have caused stress initially? Were there tankmates? Was the tank open with few hiding spaces? Was the tank in a high-traffic area? Was the filter output too strong? Were there temperature fluctuations? In my experience, people who say their fish preferred a small tank just didn't set up the larger tank properly. Not saying you necessarily did, but it's very unlikely just having space to swim would cause bettas any stress. In the wild, they have miles and miles of water to swim, and they've got no problem doing that.

I have a question, I have a 20 gallon tall aquarium tank and want to get a second one for my male betta fish which I have 3 I want to put in a 20 gallon tall tank and I also have 4 female betta fish that I was trying to do a society but one or two of them are biting at each other’s fins so at the moment I only have 1 in the 20 gallon tall tank atm. But how many dividers can fit in a 20 gallon tall fish tank. I see videos on 20 gallon long but not 20 gallon tall. I’m sure I can fit two dividers in the current 20 gallon tall I have to place 3 of the four females if I was to do it that way but I am going to see if I can at least get two of them to get along after a week but idk. Kind of nervous since two of them have their fins bitten at by one of my other females, and then these two were chasing each other etc. I am still new to keep bettas long term and stuff so looking for advice and stuff. I have 5 tanks currently and I want to knock it down to 3. One for all my male bettas can be but divided, one where either all my female bettas get along and live openly in a 20 gallon tall tank or if absolutely needed a divided tank. My other tank is a 5 gallon with my other male betta with some tetras and a snail. Can you or anyone help me please?!?!?

[@SimplyBetta]

Hi! SOrry your females aren't getting along, that happens a lot. Do you have plenty of cover in the tank? I would make it heavily planted, or maybe have a *lot* or decorations in there to break up lines of sight and give the females places to hide if they have to. If they're just too dang aggressive then separating them is a good idea. You can get dividers for 20g high tanks, lifewithpets makes them. 2 dividers can give you 3 nice big spaces for your males. Another 3 dividers in the other tank will give you 4 nice spaces too, they will be tall and narrow but it's a nice space, about 5g per female

[@parrotbill9072]

If you have sand without subsand filter you have to break it down and wash it out sooner or later. I made my ow subsand filter because you can't back flush with the store bought ones. I use egg crate lighting plastic like you 40 gallon jar setup. I cut it to fit the tank bottom, then cut out little squares out of scrap for legs to hold the egg crate off the bottom. This leave a pretty wide open space under the substrate to create a flow. Normally you use an airstone in each riser to pull stuff down through the substrate to feed the bio, making it a huge bio filter. About once or twice a month you vaccume the gravel running it through a DIY 3" PVC pipe canister filter about 2ft long. Stuffed with pre-filter gause, next bio sponge filters, leaving space for more gause. A screw on cap for the intake with a bulkhead fitting on both ends for the hose to attach to. Now take out the airstones from both risers and put a powerhead on one of the risers, with a hose from the power head to the intake of the canister filter. And the return line to the other riset. So you have water pulled out from under the subsand filter at the first riser, and clean water pushed down the other riser, creating a current pushing dirt to the intake riser to be filtered. Let the fish poop fertilize the plants. Now you have a cleanable substrate giant bio filter. After you back flush for a few hrs, run the return line to a 5 gallon bucket or 2 for a water change. 2 buckets for a 20 gallon tank, 3 for a 30. Then use a Reverse Osmosis filter to return the water to the tank. You just did a 50% water change without throwing away any of your dirty water, turning it into super clean 7.0 PH neutral water without expensive chemicals.

[@SimplyBetta]

I like your method! I saw your comments a while back about it, too, but I think I haven't made it around to replying to a bunch of comments yet though. Have you seen the video from Aquarium Co-op about the Goliad farms tour in Texas? They re-use 100% of their water by filtering it through plants and then back into the system, it is a fascinating watch. They only need to replace water from evaporation! Re-using water is such a good goal, I would love to have a system in my future fish room where I do it via plants/aquaponics or an RO method like yours. I hate being so strapped for space in my little bathroom fish room :)

[@parrotbill9072]

@@SimplyBetta You have a lot of good ideas and very inventive. Plants are great if you have a lot of room. I am sure you can expand on my idea and make a system that will work for you to reuse water. On the 40 gallon full of jugs...I think you should cut the top off so you can get a ladle in it, and burn holes throughout the bottoms to let the poop out. If you have a scoop, you don't need to pull the jug out to catch the fish. Also put a drip system on them so stail water will always be leaving the jug for better circulation.

I would suggest a little sponge filter! With an air valve you can adjust the flow to be whatever you want. For low light plants, look at anubias and java fern :)

[@deborahjeanne2141]

Yes, Cory does have a great system. What she has here is not a great system and is in no way comparable to what Cory has. Her system is no better than petco or petsmart. The poor betta on the opposite end of the filter and heater gets no benefit from either because of the dividers - even with holes. And the fish with the heater and filter is being overwhelmed with a too-strong water flow. She has too many dividers. I have a 15G with 1 divider, I just got a 20 long and 3 dividers. Each section in the 20G will have a small sponge filter, and each end will have a low wattage heater. 5 gallons is the minimum for a betta. 2G is not enough and she’s doing a disservice by promoting this. By the time you add substrate, it’s less than 2G per fish.

[@cockatoode705]

4 years ago, 1 Gallon with a filter and heater was the minimum. The canister filter intake is by the last section so the water *has* to flow through every section, pulling the heat with it. A any other filter, and you’d be right. I keep my bettas in 5 gallon tanks but I don’t try to claim 2 gallons isn’t enough for a betta. I will add that that adding substrate to a five gallon will also reduce the size.

Great video, Taylor! I have the same dividers in my tanks and love them. However, I was hoping you could share: 1) has the canister filter worked for you? I've always assumed the outflow would be too strong for a Betta in the first compartment so I stuck with small sponge filters in each compartment instead, but would love to improve filtration with a canister or even an AquaClear HOB if functional. 2) how do you heat your divided tank? Placement and wattage of the heaters in your 20 gallons? Another reason I would like to try a canister filter is the possibility of using an inline heater. Lastly, 3) what kind of lids/tops do you use on your divided tanks to prevent your bettas from jumping out? Thank you!

[@SimplyBetta]

Hello! I do like the canister filter, I got a really little one just to test. It was the smallest sunsun cansiter filter and I think I just got it from amazon, rated for a 10g or so. Although it is so gentle after going through all the dividers that I have some biofilm developing on the top of the water in the compartments, so I'm also going to add a few small sponge filters.

I dont agree with the bowls and I know the partitions are bigger than they seem, but I'm also not somebody that has tons of bettas such as her. I only have one and he is kept in a 5 gallon tank, I'm just saying with the resources I have available, I personally would do them larger.

Can i put my betta fish in 1.5 gallon with no heater it is ok ?

[@margarethteodoro2435]

PuBg EXE for a few weeks sure but i recommend investing in a 5 gallon tank since its the best choice for a betta. for the heater it really depends. u dont have to have one as long as the temperature in where your fish is at is around 78 degrees farenheit. a filter is a need. when keeping a betta in a 1.5 gallon you have to maybe do a water change twice a week. hope this helps!

[@MaruEva]

@@margarethteodoro2435 thanks for the reply i ordered a 10 high quality of betta and i have 8 1.5 gallon with light's

[@SimplyBetta]

Good water temperature is important, I have my smaller tanks/jars in a heated fish room to keep them at tropical temperatures

[@rahayupratiwi5475]

what which you choose Thailand betta or Indonesian betta ? and what of reason ?

This is a great idea! I like this much better than the little containers with the drip lines

[@melissas3064]

Wow looks great!!

[@SimplyBetta]

Thank you :)

[@jfdd43]

If your worried about flow use a sprayer bar. Personally I’d do that and put the intake in the middle of the tank. That way, clean water is going evenly through the tank, and one fish isn’t getting the ‘poopy’ end on the water current

[@SimplyBetta]

I did think about that! I think I would need to make my own sprayer bar then to make it 30" long and be able to control the outlet of each one. Another project to add to the list...

[@jfdd43]

Simply Betta atm you have all the flow going into one bettas space and any flow issues aren’t obvious. I would imagine that a standard flow bar would be fine. Another option, is to add another divider 1” from the wall of the tank, and have the return pipe go there. Then the flow would be broken up.

[@SimplyBetta]

Yeah the stock flow bar is working fine I think - I directed it to blow at the side of the glass tank which slows it down a bit more

[@EP-mj9ng]

What light are you using on your 20 long?

[@jongraksakhet6838]

It this fit for PetSmart 10 gallon tank?

[@SimplyBetta]

This is a 20 gallon long tank. There are also dividers for 10g tanks

[@krushirang9296]

Can you please tell me..how much space does it actually required to keep bettas happy

[@vasilisv9112]

Krushi Rang 4 gallons + with heater a filter and decoration would be 💯

[@armoredwings4182]

That's debatable. Some say 2.5 gallons is enough, some say 5 gallons. I would say start with 5, but actually it's easier to keep parameters level in a bigger tank because their's more water dilution. If you can get a 10 gallon or larger, your betta would appreciate it. And don't forget heater and filter no matter what. All fish need them.

[@memphisskallywag7683]

I think simply betta is pretty. Had to say it.

[@charlottedavis9769]

Help. I have a black orchid female betta that is full of eggs. I didn’t want to breed her to my male because I have no room for hundreds of bettas. They’re just pets. I took her out of her tank with two other females cause they would not let her eat. I put her in my other tank & it’s been weeks & still full of eggs. What do I do?

[@SimplyBetta]

She will never not have eggs if she is healthy and well-fed. You can try feeding her less if she looks enormous

[@BenBetta]

Great video to show people what they can actually do. I actually do 100 betta water change and each betta live in its own container. lot of work.

[@SimplyBetta]

Yes! It is so much work. Before I downsized my fish room and project fish, I was changing about 50+ 3L jars 3 times a week. There is no way I can do this anymore with a new baby coming, so I like this as an alternative. It was expensive but saves me a lot of time and energy

I think America is the only country that keeps Bettas in cups. Every pet shop I've been too has basically the exact same setup. Individual filters, lights and decorations for each Betta tank. The water is always clear and the fish seem healthy.

[@SimplyBetta]

You mean in pet stores? The big box stores here sell them in little cups, yeah

[@kirin1230]

@@SimplyBetta Yes, pet stores. Pet stores in Australia, at least in my area, have these individual little tanks (my guess, two gallons). They're usually on racks with several rows of them. Similar to this setup: www.google.com/amp/s/amp.reddit.com/r/bettafish/comments/al6tjy/i_was_asked_to_crosspost_my_photo_of_this_better/ Idk why American stores don't do it.

Hi Simply Betta, i hope all is well with you and - OHHHH WHOOPS!😯🙊🤦‍♀️🙈 I almost forgot, and the baby and all of ur fish-eeEEEs are all doing great....😊 I heard you say u had trouble with growing out your banana plants.... Just like you, I had trouble growing growing out my first few banana plants in some of my aquariums, but I eventually learned from watching a few KZbin videos and e- mailing Cory from Aquarium Co-Op, that u don't bury the banana shaped bottom half all the way in your substrate, u only have to bury it half way or sometimes a quarter of the way in your substrate and it will grow to perfection.... I have heard u can just let it sit on top of your substrate to and it will grow but I have never tried that.😊🍌🌱🐟🐠🐡🐚🦀 Happy Fish Keeping
