Ep.3 Sweet Potato Betta Tank (Meet Kartoffel) - No filter, No CO2, NO ferts 4.5 Gallon Nano Tank

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.

the amount of love you give to kartoffel is ASTOUNDING

Oh 💕 Clair de lune in the end made my heart smile.

[@selinibrahimovic7331]

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.

[@leftythat5833]

When the song that's playing has the Nokia ringtone you know it's good

[@PalJoey-rm2yh]

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.

[@yustinedudney]

watching this makes me cry :'). you captured beautiful lifes inside your room. even the spider looks so cute and mesmerizing.

[@Kenney9120]

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.

[@Vilemo82]

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.

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.

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

[@Tempestni02]

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.
