The Newest Most Popular Tank at Aquarium Co-Op

[@jimmygimbal]

You can find the tank here, although it is out of stock you can add it to your list and have Amazon notify you in the future : amzn.to/2FglaW9

[@PurpleRose8725]

My newly discovered LFS carries them!

[@PurpleRose8725]

They are even better in person too. It's clear why they are taking off. You should see the larger tanks by the same company, just as gorgeous on a grander scale.

[@TheCaphits]

Such a beautiful tank! Thanks for sharing. Please post more videos with Caitlyn ! She is great.

[@aljanecko]

Katlyn has so much knowledge, she’s awesome, great video Jimmy.

[@nakedreptiles]

Love Caitlyn! Hope when you move back home someone continues to feature the wonderful staff at the co op ❤️

[@JeremyGoneWildPets]

I wish the employees at my local fish stores were this knowledgeable. I’m blown away.

[@dalcon555]

Not gonna lie, I was in the store a few days ago and that tank is FANTASTIC also I love this store so much and the staff are amazing. totally worth the 45 minute drive I take each time I need to go to the store to get there.

[@opgaquatics5609]

Honestly, I love your videos man! Keep up the great work!

[@Northwestscapes]

I saw that tank a while ago in the store, really neat to see how much you were able to do with such a small tank!

[@veedebee]

Amazing Betta and beautiful tank. Caitlin is great, definitely need to see more of her, very knowledgeable and a natural on camera

[@Nepo35]

Just FYI, horizontal stripes just mean stress in both male and female. Females however show vertical bars which are not present in males. Keep in mind this is for species in the splendens complex. When you go into other complexes, male may have vertical bars too depending on the species.

[@mollysdomain5761]

She’s so knowledgeable! Loved this video

[@jebuscruz6480]

Awesome video and great fish, I love how Caitlyn turns into Robert at 7:29 lol

[@jimmygimbal]

Hahahah

[@WorldAquariumSingapore]

I love the blue wall background as it blends into the aquariums, cool and cool video resolutions as well awesome

[@WorldAquariumSingapore]

and v detail info on the alien betta

[@britneyw.8441]

I've seen videos of people going out and catching them in Thailand and this is pretty much exactly what they look like ! So cool to see what breeding can do!

[@nomdeplume7671]

I appreciate the quality camerawork man. thank you.

[@sunshine467sun]

Jimmy we all love you!

[@bengalghost5403]

Hi, Jimmy. I have the smaller 3gallon tank. The pet shop offered to cut a triangle corner off for me using a glass cutter. I didn't think it was a good idea, I just let the electrical line to the internal filter prop up the glass. I have the smallest eheim airpump and dial the power to the lowest setting to power a small sponge filter to augment an internal power filter by Tom's. It's very quiet in my bedroom. I keep cherry shrimps in my tank.

[@lyrieth8833]

I really enjoyed this video as I do all the ones you put out! She did a wonderful job telling us about this tank and it's fishies!

[@rey9325]

That chick knew her betta stuff!

[@boboAndTheChindians]

Hoping to get into betta fishkeeping. People always say a 5g is minimum for a beta and bigger than 10g if you want to keep it with other fish. Which is why my jaw dropped watching this video. First of all, the tank and scape looks amazing and very spacious. It seems like there isn't a ton of hiding spots for the fish but everyone's just doing their thing peacefully. how is this even possible? Any tips and tricks for a new keeper who wants to attempt this in a smaller 3 to 5 g tank?

[@KGcichlids]

That flaring action is awesome!

[@kevinc9741]

Put a small command hook on the lid for a handle. They make clear ones.

[@jimmygimbal]

We broke it a couple of days before this video was made. Hahah

[@twincitiesguppies]

Saw that fish in person and man it looks AWESOME!

[@jimmygimbal]

❤️😘

[@markhunter2244]

Great video, stunning Betta, stunning Caitlyn, stunning tank what more could you ask for 🤓

[@TimsBitsnPieces]

Wow what a great looking fish. I'm not a fan of small tanks like that one, but it looks great.

[@smorc65]

Nice to see them keep such a small tank heavily stocked like that without having much trouble with chemistry! I wonder what the temperature is

[@jimmygimbal]

Store temp stay around 78-83 and it being near the top shelf it stays on the hotter end.

[@CherryBlossomCandles]

Great job Caitlyn! Such a professional :)

[@aquascaping1013]

Wow you make a great Nano scape with that tank!

[@driinun8433]

That's such an interesting betta I've never heard of before, great video!

Genuinely the best looking betta ive ever seen. What a weird and vibrant variant.

[@darrendzirasa-payne4614]

Great presentation Caitlyn! Looking forward to more!!

[@catfishcave379]

A star is born! (or did I say that about her last video??) Me need that tank for my desk at work! I'm thinking shrimp, java moss and pothos roots.

[@jimmygimbal]

Hahahah ya I think you did say that. Caitlyn’s great.

[@BlackenedMelody]

Great video! Always cool to hear Caitlyn's knowledge on bettas!

great video! Corey you've been blessed with great staff!!

[@thaviratpiriyothaisakul6784]

Hello from Thailand. awesome job saying the word Mahachai right! Betta is known in SE Asia region as Plakat or especially in Thailand they are called "Siamese fighting fish" and the flaring is their habit since it is their mean to show aggression.

[@arrow2589]

Thanks! I tried to practice on getting the word right. :)

[@gourabsarkar837]

Making this tank for my 6-8 Scarlet Badis. Just love with the tank , how small but still have space, Perfect for nano fish like Badis i think.

Thanks Candi!

[@sbenson-miles762]

I keep Bettas , mine are in community tanks and it's interesting what this lady has to say . I'm open minded with new ideas .

[@karenwolfsen]

I picked up a bag of that substrate on Chewy. Com while looking for stuff for my dogs. It sounded really good and was very reasonable. It’s been a few months and it’s working very well! I like it better than the dirt I had in there. Problem is I most definitely should have gotten 2 bags in order to plant a bit deeper. Gorgeous fish and great educational information. And another great video 😁

[@hookedonprjonrojas2314]

Reminds me of the teal colored one I had 😍

[@spitz-mv6zb]

that looks amazing! i might just copy it for my 20 gallon tank. Do all your bettas get along with shrimps? i heard cherry shrimps are basically live food for bettas

[@jimmygimbal]

Depends on the betta. They’re really 50/50. Having said that most will eat baby shrimp

[@vb2377]

What a nice informative video.

[@MaxCastles]

What exactly is this 3 gallon tank? I neeeed one.

[@tanngke]

Mighty Max I remember seeing one at my lfs and the brand was “Aquarium Masters” but I’m not 100% sure.

[@logankim9625]

After some searching on the web I found it! It shows it on aquariumindustrial.com however you can’t order it online.

[@logankim9625]

You have to click on products, click Betta aquariums, then scroll down just a little.

[@jimmygimbal]

It’s definitely from Aquarium Masters :)

[@logankim9625]

I did more browsing and you can buy this on amazon.... However.... it’s out of stock. *sigh*

[@wandaoshiro2014]

🌺Mahalo or thank you for sharing this video with us. Couldn't quite catch the name of that new substrate Caitlyn was holding up & could you go into a little more detail about that new substrate?

[@jimmygimbal]

Dang it I forgot the name.. I think FloraActive? Dang I forgot sorry I’ll let you know when I remember

[@wandaoshiro2014]

@@jimmygimbal🌺 it's ok, looked at your video over & over, found the name of it, mahalo. But just wondering how good is it? Saw online & people were saying that it had copper & aluminum? 🤔

Definitely!

[@peculiarone339]

That is suuuuch a beautiful Betta!! 😍

[@nikkonikkoshite]

i've got an insane colored betta. he's bronzy/gold looking when he's got his side facing you, if it's more head on, he looks more green-blue, and when he's facing more away from you, he looks a lot more rose gold. he is just BEAUTIFUL, he's rooming with 3 green corys. should i try posting a video of him on my channel? never really used it for much of anything than viewing and commenting... XD if enough people ask, i'll do it.

[@evelynrose2257]

Wow I have the exact same fish in my 20 long. Except for I have a different type of betta. I got the chili restaurants I got the CPDs I got the cherry shrimp got the ammano shrimp. But I also got some endlers and peacock gudgeons.

[@annethornton9938]

You've also got a far better tank size for the number and diversity of fish. 95% of people are going to have trouble keeping anything more than a betta in a tank that small. I'm upgrading all three of our bettas from 2.5 gallon tanks to 2x 5 gallons, and mine is going into a 7.5 gallon. Only then will I have tankmates for them...

[@joshguppyfishusa]

I really enjoy your videos. Thanks for sharing. ❤

[@urbansk8r231]

I dont see a heater in the tank so what then is the temp those fish can live at?

[@jimmygimbal]

The shop stays at a fair 80 degrees especially the top right and 60-80 humidity. I would keep the betta at 78. The other fish can range groom 72-78.

[@urbansk8r231]

Thanks, Bud

[@TwinkAquatics]

Great video. Great info! Love it!!

[@thegreatalyssa]

[@pamelafox5882]

Nice fish, I'm in love with bettas. Stay informative.❤✋

[@mauricematla1215]

It looks to me there is also some Smaragdina in that guy. But here is a question. Many fish are sold as B.Splendens but at what point with all the crossing in other species from the Splendens complex do we actually stop calling it B.Splendens and start calling it something else ?

[@michaeltewell2659]

Glad I checked out this video because I was going to get a pair of alien 👽 Bettas but I don’t have a brackish tank at the moment... that’s a disappointment but an awesome fish and video thank you🙏

[@SoTypicallyMeh]

Wait, so do normal _Betta splendens_ not have scales over their heads? I don't think I've ever noticed that.

[@Matthew.E.Kelly.]

Only certain breeds get full-mask scaling. As the girl in the video said the alien hybrids are made from cross breeding. The main breeds crossed for the alien hybrids are betta mahachaiensis with betta imbellis (I'm watching at work so I might've missed this detail being shared). For more information on betta hybrids & the rarer wild types, check out Frank's Bettas on Facebook, Instagram, & here on KZbin. Frank Sriboribun posts the most relevant & concise information on betta breeds throughout the east, as well as habitat information & species preservation efforts. He is a conservationist in addition to being a breeder & seller!

[@jimmygimbal]

Thanks for helping out Matt! She does state the Mahachaiensis & Imbellis cross not sure you missed that part. Very good info and sharing what you know as well. I really appreciate you helping out in the comments.

[@Matthew.E.Kelly.]

@@jimmygimbal I'm always glad to help when I can, I'm a dictionary of betta info!

Wish you lived around here! Could use your knowledge on videos haha

[@Matthew.E.Kelly.]

@@jimmygimbal That would be a dream job for me 😭 I went from warehouse to retail warehousing to in-store inventory/retail management over the last 15 years - a long transition. But that's where I am now & while I like the work, I'm not a fan of corporate America doing the whole monopoly thing & its impact on us workers. I know you guys pay quite nicely & working in this hobby would be a dream come true. I'm always available for quick consults though, I can do that from a distance for free. Hahaha 😁

Hi guys i love your vids, may i know the plants used in the betta tank tank you.

Crypt Parva and Dwarf Hair Grass

[@1kinut800]

All the baby cherries will probably get eaten unless you put a whole lot more hiding places for them. The adult shrimp may get killed too during molting if you don't provide better hiding places where only the shrimp can get into.

[@jimmygimbal]

This is true :)

[@mazen7757]

Hi, I wonder waht the hardness actually is. If I saw it right, you have active soil in th etank which lowers the KH and you add coral to mak it higher? Wonder if that works, seems quite undefined and like a waste of soil to me...

That is a beautiful fish
