Nice one Lisa, I’ve been watching you and Johns videos lately and I’ve learned a lot so thankyou both ...I’m 82 years old and just starting up in tropical fish (waiting patiently for the tank to cycle) I bought the Tetra 80ltr tank ..Many years ago I did have a fish tank but it’s all changed now and thanks to you two I’m learning the new ways .🇺🇸🇬🇧..Opps , I forgot to add I loved Johns manly tank lol ..Cheers both of you .

[@texasfish8382]

So the takeaway is if you want an awesome manly tank, have a woman build it.

[@PanthorPapa84]

Well I think his "manly" tank was actually the lazy tank this lady (I can't remember names very easily) is taking her time and is being detailed rather than just going rocks, fake plants, cool wood, water, lots of product placement, and done. As a person who likes fish I would go with this video but if I was an office worker who didn't have a window and didn't wanna take 3 hours to set up a tank I would make mine "manly" ya know what I mean?

You have a gift for the aesthetics. Beautiful aquascaping.

[@jamesburton7298]

Very nice, I did something similar in my 10 gallon beta tank. I did white sand and a river from the left rear to center front. I used light blue gravel for the river, lined like yours with rocks, although much smaller ones. Used a sponge filter, one sword plant one banana plant a a big bunch of cabomba. The beta has 3 neons, an octo cat and 2 blue velvet shrimp. Tried the shrimp as an experiment to match the blue River and blue betta. It has been 5 weeks and so far he has left the shrimp alone. Have a blessed day. Oh, a great video.

[@smartsoe123]

This may be a dumb question, but how do you vacuum that substrate without disturbing everything?

[@user-do3vi8lb9n]

You have to be very gentle until maybe 4 weeks when it’s rooted in and then you can vacuum the grass

[@stevecox8066]

Very nice setup for that big boy George! Especially liked the oversized smooth stones. I had a recently empty (cycled and still running) 14 gallon Aqueon cube with a full scape of plants although I'm running an anoxic filtration system. Bought a big boy King halfmoon yesterday at Petco and he is absolutely a charming fellow. I'll probably get him four or five girlfriends to strut in front of in a little while. Meanwhile, I really wanted to see more about these crazy big bettas. Thanks

[@karmenmilham5365]

Hi. I love your videos! I have a question about a king Betta I recently bought and Pet Smart...he died after one night in my tank! It was so sad. My water parameters were okay. Not only did I test and Pet Smart too, but I also put 3 Cory pandas in at same time and they are okay. The king betta, his name was Covey, was white/pale pink. He started gulping air at surface. His belly turned bright pink. He didn't swim around much while I had him but then suddenly swam around frantically as if suffering. When I saw him distressed I got him out and tried some water with a tiny bit Epsom salt bc I thought maybe constipated and didn't know what else to do. I never really saw him eat much but kept offering bits of different kinds of foods to tempt him. Maybe he ate too much when I wasn't looking? I took his little body back to pet store and worker said maybe he had a tumor that was activated in my warm, different water. I was able to exchange for a new betta and this one is doing fine after being here two nights. Do you know what could have been wrong with the king? It was so sad to see him suffer. I'd like to think I didn't do something wrong but I'd also like to know if I did so I can learn. I'm new to hobby. I've learned a lot watching your videos. Thanks and stay healthy!! :)

[@Bullitt1768]

Probably sick when bought. When you get new fish, give them a few days to adjust before you throw them in salt bathes or even feed them. They're extremely stressed from their journey and stress is the #1 killer. Also you'll probably wanna get at least 3 more cories.

[@lisav6015]

Hi LIsa! I was wondering if you use lids for your beta tanks? I thought they were sort of a must to keep stuff from getting in the tank that might hurt fish. Also, I use live plants but they keep dying! 😕 They just turn brown and some of the stems rot. Sometimes the leaves just disintegrate! Your plants always look so lush and beautiful! Maybe its the substrate you’re using. I think I’ll get some and see if that helps. If you have any other thoughts or suggestions, I’m all ears!!! Thanks for the fun video! I enjoyed watching you scape your tank! 😊

[@angelfishkeeper3027]

Amazing setup 🙂

[@michaelfox6820]

One big difference between your aquascaping approach and John's (aside from artificial vs live plants) is that John had a cave of sorts under his big branch, where a betta could retreat to. You don't have any such hideout. How important do you think it is to have a retreat like that for a betta, especially when you have other fish in with him/her? I have a Fluval Flex 15, which I aquascaped with live plants wood and rocks. My first try with a betta had a natural retreat amongst some relatively large pieces of dark wood. I tried two female bettas (sequentially) in it; both were territorial and attacked the two other fish in the aquarium (platys). I returned both females and tried a male, but only after removing those dark pieces of wood and putting in two light pieces to lighten up the aquarium. The male never seemed comfortable, and would always sit on the bottom squeezed between glass and plants. He died after a few days. He had a lesion on his back, and I don't know whether this was from abrasion against glass, rock, substrate, or whether he was sick when I got him. Could the lack of a cave-like retreat have anything to do with his discomfort?
