do you guys only ship them or is this going to be a store open to the public??

Nice

Looks amazing 👏 I wish I had that just as a part of my house without selling them, but hope you have great success!

[@RiZaLBaDoKsOnBoDoKsOn]

Hi can you ship it out of America..

[@martinh2783]

It's nice to see a business handling live animals actually making a system for the fish and not for cheap. You also got some really amazing bettas there.

I know everyone says "Happy Wife, Happy Life", but I've always heard "Happy Spouse, Happy House", and "Teamwork Makes the Dream Work" and I think y'all both do a wonderful job, of supporting each other, and running a great business, while still having fun, and it shows! Also, I know the fishies appreciate it too! Keep up the great work, guys!

[@marypaigeflynn4512]

Right on Zen🙌💥♥️

[@briangaliote4509]

Phenomenal set-up John!!!! Exceeding both the expectations of the fish and the customer. Well done! This is why we all support you and Lisa.

[@reggie2803]

I’m so glad you listened to Lisa. That setup turned out very well. The end result is something to behold. You two are truly amazing.

[@flonkas]

They really are, I hope to find a fish wife someday like Lisa. She’s so cool.

[@aqhan]

It's so refreshing to see a fish suplier who actually cares about their fish. If it wouldn't be for the fact that I live on the other side of the world, I'd be getting all my fish from you!

[@tjautocross]

John, I’m not sure I’m qualified to say if this is the best system, but I do think I can say that it’s a work of art. I marvel at your talent in design and building of so many things. Thanks for sharing!

[@CJBlack265]

Awesome setup! It's beautiful, love the natural, stained wood shelves - I do believe you've designed and built THE BEST betta system on KZbin 💕👍

[@fishypetkeeping]

Lisa was adorable walking around everytime she picked up a tank! Anyway, I'm so glad that it works so well. I'm impressed that it runs as smooth that it does!

[@lynnbonica4342]

WOW! That setup turned out fantastic. Very professional looking. You should be really proud of what you built for Lisa, it shows how much you love her. She's a lucky lady... 😀

[@miles2455]

that high speed grooming the kitty is doing at 1:32 when you say "get this thing full speed ahead" is entertaining me entirely too much lol

[@deezee1951]

It's incredible! I love you both. Learned so much from you. Thank you, David from Israel.

[@bambimccluskey]

"I should not have told you that" Haha! Perfect! It has to be hard not to share your ideas/plans ♡ What a room! It IS the best betta system!! Thank you for sharing/showing everything and every-fin! Yes, sometimes we do have to make a deal with the devil! Please do the rant! Still so many don't know or don't understand how it is all connected. I'm a broken record, but not a cool one like you guys!! People will listen ♡ The replays of your process and Lisa, your exercise dance, hehe awesome! How did I forget about thise moves! Biding my time until I can order from you guys!! The bettas! Have 3....OK 4 picked out, always have a few picked out! You can see how they are thriving and healthy, absolutely loved. It makes my heart smile! Thank you!!! 💌

[@dewaynemoretta8941]

This is fabulous, John. The level of care that you guys put into your business is inspiring.

[@scottlewis2029]

You guys are awesome, I've been a "fan" of the hobby for a long time and have a tank but I love turning on you guys channel and just watching/listening to videos all day! keep up the awesome info! Thank you so much!

[@mk_cichlids]

I love DIY setups like this! It may have cost a lot for a regular hobbyist, but the beauty of systems like this is that they are completely modular. They can be made to fit any space, at any scale. You did it for 300 tanks but the same setup could be used just as easily for 30 tanks, or even 3 tanks, bringing that cost way down if it were just a hobbyist with a handful of tanks. Great job!

[@markmurray3193]

Awesome job! It's nice to see businesspeople who care about their product to this extent. Thank you for sharing your caring with us!

[@cherylmartin9994]

Wow! Awesome system! Great job John and Lisa. The commitment shown in the care of your bettas is wonderful to see.

[@djsuss552]

Amazing system!! Q- What if you notice one of the fish is sick? Would you have to medicate the whole system?

[@ComancheWarrior63]

Yes, but you can put the medication in the sump so it's evenly distributed to every tank. It's also a great way to prevent an outbreak that could potentially destroy the entire inventory

[@DabbleDont]

Amazing job, guys! It looks fantastic and I know it was a massive job. I also like Carl's high speed bath 1:20 while you were fast forwarding 😁

[@jimcarter8676]

Thank you. I have been following the journey on the build. This overview helped me with some design changes of the system I am getting ready to start soon. Thank you again for all the effort you both put into your videos and taking care of the bettas.

[@shuanaroden5226]

You should both be proud of what you have achieved it's great 👍

[@tree.65]

WOW! This is a huge, enormous, incredible and efficient betta system! I'm blown away that Lisa will have something like this that she can care for by herself. You guys did an amazing job! I would say that one floater plant in each betta cube would really add to their quality of life. But I know that is a lot of plants. It is beautiful. The rich mahogany shelves really make it look so beautiful.

[@RockulousRift]

Love it, you two are a great team, good partners, and a amazing business. The Bettas are lucky and it’s 1000000% better than any lfs I’ve seen

[@Maskawolf]

WOW, what a beautiful setup! You have done a great job. Stunning fish, they are very fortunate to be with wonderful people who care so much for their well-being.

I wish all box stores had this system for bettas great job john this is great inspiration for local fish stores to do, and maybe if enough local fish stores do this maybe big box stores will do this great job again john

[@nabokovfan87]

I can appreciate the "it holds a lot of fish" and it relatively isn't taking up a ton of the room. it makes things easy because it's a flow through design. My biggest concern is what on earth does QT look like for this? one fish comes in with fin rot and that can spread given what type of gram negative bacteria shows up. As someone who might get a Betta from you, that's the question I have seeing the setup.

[@dewaynemoretta8941]

They don't receive shipments of bettas. Lisa drives to the supplier and handpicks all their bettas from a source that they trust.

[@jesusm9385]

[@jeffhester1443]

Your betta room and system is brilliant, and just beautiful. I love the removable cards and the idea to exercise the fish. I can only offer two things from living and working in older structures most of my life. Be constantly mindful and inspect all things electrical, and two, have several fire extinguishers strategically placed so you always have one close. Great video and great job on the best betta system, o yeah, in the world!

[@dazzac2708]

John, i am so amazed at what you created from literally nothing! I love it. It's even given me ideas for just having one or two bettas on a shelf, so thank you for that.

Hi guys 👋🏼 I’ve been a dedicated aquarist for little over a year now and you were the main source of knowledge when I started, so thank you, you saved the life of my first fish 🙌🏼 Having said that, I want to congratulate you on this project, it’s absolutely amazing 👏🏼 I have a question: do the 296 bettas share water?, I mean, water recirculates or do they get new water every time?… if it recirculates, what happens when a fish gets sick?

[@sevastipternitis5814]

I absolutely love your Betta room, I would love to build one of those too. Great job, how much do your Betta cost. Thank you for showing us this video

BRAVO, you two did an excellent job, and fish can enjoy their lives until they go on to their forever homes. That is the way to sell bettas and you can see each one so clearly. Now you can really enjoy selling your Bettas out of your farm home. Wonderful set up for sure a lot of thought and labor you both should be proud of yourselves on setting that up.

[@chrissyosborne3879]

You have achieved greatness with your betta system! It is beautiful to look at and extremely functional. I am so happy for you both. Btw I would really enjoy a rant video about Amazon.😡

[@adamking2557]

I’m sure you have gotten this suggestion before but you should try putting live cams on each section for prospective customers to view potential purchases. Since you have each of them numbered it would easy for someone to pick out their exact fish. I assume you take pictures of each fish for sale and with a live stream you wouldn’t have to any longer. Just a thought! Great work!

[@Dmitriy.0]

Question about the system. If there's no filtration going on, if one fish gets sick wouldn't that spread to all others fairly quickly?

[@Chick-In-Of-TheSea]

It doesn't seem like they are recycling the water back into the tanks. Seems like they are draining it all out together but then topping off with dechlorinated tap water.

[@timrussell89]

Amazing system. Carl doesn't mess with the open top betta tanks? lol, my cat will forever try to get our betta, secure lid is key lol.

Great system John, the cost and time to build it so worthwhile. Living in Canada makes it tough to get fish from you , but I watch your videos faithfully.

I would love to see the spreadsheet she's built to go along with those number tags on all the tanks 😍

[@BenOchart]

Great job John and Lisa! A lot of work up front but the long term rewards are well worth it. Many fish stores need to copy this design! Now I think I need to get a Koi Betta from Lisa😉😀👍🏻

[@WahidahCherazade]

It looks really good! We do have a similar system in the store where I work, and most of the pet stores here do, where I live I don't think it's even legal to have Bettas in tiny cups like what I've seen from the US. So I really hope that you're starting up a new trend for how Bettas are treated all over your country. I'm sure your fish are happy!

[@CBales2006]

End result looks fabulous. Great job and dream come true.

[@barryweisfeld628]

Great video and awesome setup, I will be setting up a 120 gallon tank soon, would love some help in setting it up, 😀

[@GoldenEmu1]

Looks amazing, it's really impressive! I love how open you've been about the whole process. Hopefully you've already considered this, but do you have a few water sensors along your floor & walls? I don't think I heard you mention it in these videos. If anything clogs (cat fur) and the drip line overflows some tanks and keeps running, or if the pump stops working and the sump overflows? The sensors are battery operated and super cheap from that company we won't mention. Or maybe there isn't enough much extra water in the whole system where it isn't even necessary. Still, anytime I see moving water I know what kind of damage it can cause.

[@ATGaric]

The sump won't over flow. The tanks don't have much if any water above the over over flow. If one tank over flow gets clogged he said it takes a hour or two to fill a tank so half a gallon flow rate for one tank. That's only 12 gallons of they don't go in for a full 24 hours. Now if a pvc end blows you'd drain your sump on the ground which looks like 29 gallon tanks. So approx 20 gallons to 30 gallons of water. They put concrete in so realistically even worst case 30 gallons of water on concrete is not to big of an issue.

[@supastihl89]

It's so cool to see all those tanks. Great work. Keeping Fish Simple just released his similar system

[@adkgaladkgal1799]

You are right . It is the best Betta systm I have seen! Congratulations to both of you!

[@pennyhoward6708]

Good morning and Happy Labor Day to y’all. Im a novice fish keeper, I started this hobby 18 months ago. I have a Lifegard 7.5 and a 15 gal. Now I would love to have a Betta tank or two😊. Im looking for a certain color Betta (purple and gold) do you ever get any Bettas close to these colors? Don’t have to be exact. I know im crazy🙃

[@erindense2099]

I’ve enjoyed this series of build videos! Only addition I would make is a wee live plant in each of the betta tanks 😄👍

[@cheeseballs3825]

That's gorgeous! Looks very high end. Looks weird without a tank on the corner though.

[@Whips_World]

My fish room consists of 6, fairly large for a hobbiest, tanks and I struggle mightily with keeping the algae at bay. How do you and/or Lisa cope with cleaning 296 glass boxes? Does the fact that the walls and inserts are black help? Perhaps the lighting? Or do you just get in there on a regular basis and "clean those windows. They got filth muck on them?"

[@PapaShrimpTX33]

Great setup Lisa!! (And John ... lol) .... looks amazing and well designed! Thanks for sharing!

[@Lynnekotr]

Great job John. I enjoyed watching the process and seeing the final results.

[@johncheetham7789]

Would like to break the myth as regards guppies eating their babies. Have a second brood in the same tank with Corrie's. It's cuteness overload 🤣

[@andibandi1190]

Great idea to implement recirculation👍 This helps one as much as as the invention of the washing machine🤡 And it opens a whole range of new options: a UV-C at the return will also be usefull, if there is not already one. There is a Sera canister filter with UV-C, and many others including heaters🦊 On the return you could also have a cooler for aquariums🌊 And somehow you could even fit a roller filter🐠
