Looks great except for the mist maker. For me it takes away some of the prettier features of your tank. I like seeing the floating plants and the wood piece breaking thru the water and I think it looks like the only "un-natural" part of the whole setup. Other than that I really like it. The wood piece has so much character

[@TX_DASHGRIND]

This is one of the best betta tanks i have ever seen. Makes me get back to fish keeping again. 👍👍

[@steffifewkes2087]

#Nice Video

[@Jessica_Crease87]

How is the fish breathing air with the mist on top!?!?

[@Tanish7817]

Hiii. Can I use vermicompost and cap it with sand in an aquarium? 😀😁

[@adriellebraga8778]

Olá Regis tudo bem estou com o projeto de montar um aquário de 25 litros plantado pro meu beta gostaria de saber se consegue fazer um vídeo ensinando a fazer montanhas com carpete para aquário

[@jnp.k3929]

Do you change the water during 1 month before put the betta in tank Thank you ✨✨🙏

[@javeduve]

What are the minimum dimensions of the aquarium or how many liters to have a betta fish.

[@akvasvet]

👍👍👍 👍👍👍

[@georgemorgan8325]

Tank looks great :) is the mist okay with the Betta? I only wonder as they have labyrinth organs and need to breath from the top occasionally, does the mist hinder this?

[@van-derverdugo4741]

Where i can buy they mist?

[@hnt_galaxy7157]

Hey Regis aquatic will the tannins kill a fighter fish or a Betta fish I'm just too scared to put driftwood b cuz it adds tannins

[@hornedrabbit666]

Bettas absolutely love tannins

[@keepingbusy847]

When you spray the glass do you just use water or is it something else?

[@BioTechproject27]

destilled water, what also helps is a drop of soap with isopropyl alcohol to break the surface tension of the water, thus it's easier to get more of the smaller bubbles out

[@diegoramirez1679]

What you used for tannis?(Black water)

[@RegisAquatics]

I used the dark water extract made by Glosso Factory

[@Andrey-Zhuravlev]

😀

[@navedahmad3155]

Hi, can we plant without any soil..using just sand???

[@samellis2705]

No (depending on the plant) plants need nutrients, Aquasoil is best to use

[@sshaikh6293]

Does mist maker harm fish or not

[@BioTechproject27]

It can, the fish should not swim over it. Also the vibrations created by it are often unpleasent for fish, so I'd rather have it seperate from the tank.
