Unboxing *NEW* BETTA FISH TANK AQUARIUM SETUP!!

Unboxing NEW BETTA FISH TANK AQUARIUM SETUP!!
In this video I unbox and begin setting up my new betta fish tank aquarium. Although betta fish are often mistreated, betta fish require a minimum of 5 gallons, a filter, heater, a diet with a variety of foods and enrichment. This Hygger tank has been on my wishlist for awhile now becasue of it's unique design and I am so excited to get this tank setup and ready for a new betta fish. Comment below what fish you think I should put in here and if you've ever owned this tank! Thank you all for watching!

Hi. I just came across your videos. I am 62 now and have enjoyed aquariums since I was a very young kid. I'm now putting one together for my granddaughter. I'm glad I found your videos and I hope you keep them coming. It's nice to see that young people are more into aquariums/animals more than they are into cellphones!! Take care and I appreciate your expertise on aquariums!

[@skratchisrandom5596]

Just got two new bettas. I've had tanks cycling for months and im so excited to have them! I have a Koi female and she looks like funfety ice cream! Then I got a galaxy Koi male and bes red and orange with bright blue speckles. They're both gorgeous and im so glad I got them 💕

[@planetfishness]

Congrats on your new bettas! They sound like really beautiful patterns! 😊

[@Jorocks82]

i work at a big brand pet store and we have customers come in EVERY year around carnival season looking for setups for fair goldfish/bettas/hermit crabs and i genuinely HATE it because they’re not usually invested enough to take my advice to get proper care for them

[@planetfishness]

Oh no! I’m glad I haven’t seen it happen near me but I didn’t realize this was such a large problem :(

[@DeborahRose2885]

Really nice tank😍the brand is a very good brand they have aquarium heaters they are very good. Get some neon tetras🤗

Yes, they have a wide variety of products and I’ve only heard good things! Thanks for watching! 😊

Awh that's terrible :(

[@alexandraredden5909]

I have a 5 gallon for my Betta and I'm going to transform it into a natural tank with wood and live plants! My Betta is beautiful, he is a shimmering blue the back of his body is our white, his find are also blue and the outer part of his fins are transparent. He also has a very cute black face! I love him so much, I wish I could have a 10 or 15 gallon for him though he looks happy and even made a large bubble nest!

[@tlorenz1987]

My high school did goldfish prizes for the school carnival. My sister brought home 3, and they lived fooooorrrrever! Now that same sister ended up with 2 goldfish from her oldest child's school carnival.

[@katiebailly5751]

I’d be careful of small gaps with the lid! I had a tank with the same shape and lid style & my veil tail female jumped right out.

[@planetfishness]

Thank you! Yeah I plan on closing it because they love to find any hole to escape lol

[@latinalace01]

That is such a cool aquarium! Have you done a freshwater nano aquarium before including dwarf shrimp, snails, and live plants? With the betta or Neon Tetras and a Hillstream Loach would be so awesome! Love your vids!

The fair that comes to my town would give out gold fish as prizes. I don't know if they do now, I haven't really looked for them

Hi! Love your videos by the way and I love aquatic animals too! I am looking forward to posting more videos on my channel and it would also be really cool to see Betta's inside of that tank a well as some algae hope you have a very great weekend!

[@tree.65]

I think a little betta would be very happy in there. Is there a place to put the heater so it's inside the pump and filter area? Those oieces of wood wouod !ook great with some live plants. Or you could do a shrimp tank.

[@anisamehmeti3958]

My roommate won a betta at the fair and stuck it in a 1gal bowl and I was the one who ended up caring for it and now how’s he’s been mine for 3 years in his 10gal palace hehe

Lol it felt like I was never going to get to the actual item

[@jennytherose]

Like the tank think should do a cherry shrimp tank with that tank

[@planetfishness]

Thank you for the suggestion! 😊

[@IndigoTaylor]

Next time you need drift wood go to your nearest creek, river, or lake to get some! It’s so much nicer and lots have wonderful shapes . Just take them home and bake and/or boil them like any other kind and you’ll be good! They look so much better and it’s FREE!!!

[@nadiazharkikh5881]

My brother won a goldfish!! At the carnival one time and I guess it was being bullied by the other fish and I was a bit surprised because my brother wanted to keep them in that little tank once and I said Danny you know our fish is more mellow than those other ones so we put them into my 20 gallon of an aquarium and he did really good

[@iheartalice3255]

Yes! I saw the bettas at la county fair the other day they also had goldfish

[@therazzmatazzkaty6862]

My local fair used to do bunnies, goldfish, bettas, hermit crabs, and sometimes small lizards as prizes 😬

[@vincetheimposter4840]

I think u should put cherry shrimp or betta fish in there.

[@planetfishness]

Thank you for the suggestion! 😊

[@girlfriendnichrose1263]

Probably an unpopular opinion but I think tetras would be absolutely adorable. I got some a few days ago and fell in love

Live plant and betta fish look good in it

[@gabrielladossantossousa9940]

Very cool aquarium, unfortunately in Brazil it's really difficult to find aquariums like that and when you found they are so expensive, like for real here a 10 liters (that would be around 2,5 gallon) basic aquarium is like 80 bucks, at least where I live is that price. 😭

[@adrianaowens2385]

Yes, fairs do give away fish as a prize. It’s been happening for decades. When I was a kid , they gave them away as prizes at my school. This was a school in Los Angeles, California.

[@ChantalsCritters]

Great video

[@planetfishness]

Thank you for watching!😊

[@maureenhiggins9618]

I have a suggestion if you put a betta do a long fin because my betta jumpers have always Ben short-finned and you don't have a a tight lid

[@Missspookylinda]

Nano fish like the clown killi (Banded panchax) with some awesome looking shrimps. Like crystal reds or Sulawesi shrimps

[@zoeytruthwave7185]

You should put a sea horse in your new tank

[@calebwatson3023]

Nice aquarium. Get a Koi or dragon betta for this set up.

[@mariahpowers40]

At a festival in my town they do cup pong and put goldfish in the glasses and they sell fish flakes and carriers along with it if you win. I won once and I set up a actual tank not a bowl or carrier and it lived a long good life. A school Cherry barb and some zebra nerite snails would look cool in that tank tho.

[@PhoenixTheCat.]

That's a really nice fish tank! I might buy one in thr future.

I’ve seen them as prizes in those temporary plastic tanks at carnivals

I have similar aquarium and as time goes i realized that the pump not strong enough to suck all the poops as i put less than 10 nano fish so perhaps its only good for one betta 😘😘😘

[@kingdemolition6681]

Cherry Shrimp, perfect for 5 gallons or higher

[@aprilrose2781]

id say do some colorful shrimp!

[@nataliabirchall9093]

I’m in U.K. when we have fairs (think your call them carnivals) round me you can still win gold fish, my cousin won one when she was little was a grate little fish had tuns of personality called rolly, we got him a proper set up, this was about 7 years ago, unfortunately he did die he we had him around 5 years wasn’t sure why he died but they arnt the healthiest

Normally I seen gold fish (feeder fish) at fairs

[@cathyhendrix7552]

I've never seen beta fish as a prize, but our county fair has goldfish and guppies.

[@planetfishness]

Ugh that sucks! :(

[@cathyhendrix7552]

@@planetfishness Yep. It does. They've done it ever since I was a little kid. We always won a fish at the fair. And surprisingly they lived quite a while to. I will give them credit though. Because now they keep them in 20 gallon tanks that are aerated. When I was a kid they were kept in bowls. And we would keep them in bigger bowls. And just change the water. That's just how it was done. Fish keeping sure has come a long way. For the better to. I have 3 tanks. I've always loved fish. ☺️

[@mackenziej6553]

it’s illegal in most states for fairs and carnivals to give away fish. you have to go through the process of owning a permit to do so, which i’m sure most pop up fairs wouldn’t do. speaking from experience, pet store employees are supposed to ask the buyer what their intentions are with the fish they purchase.

[@zacharyrossi904]

you should get some african clawed or dwarf frogs

[@juliec1257]

I have won several fish from a Fair. However I have not been in years so not sure if they still do this

[@critter_collector6738]

I used to work for a traveling carnival and my game was the goldfish game and yes some states it is iligal to give them as prizes depending on the state we couldn't set up for goldfish but could have them as stock but not give them away others we couldn't have them at all I remember one spot B4 we whent to one state we couldn't have them at all my boss gave bags full like 5+ each just to get rid of them. I saw a pond down the road from the carnival lot had some huge goldfish and sunfish

[@fulcrum8108]

I literally just went to the Strawberry Festival this weekend and one of the games was a huuuuge round pool filled with water, and then it had hundreds of those little fishbowls floating in the water. If you could throw a ping pong ball into one of the bowls, you got a goldfish in a bag as a prize. And if you made more than one in, they’d give you multiple fish. They had sooo many goldfish in a big plastic tub filled with dirty water and they just stuck a cup in the water and scooped them up, nasty water and all. It was awful.

[@RemedialRook775]

id get some celestial pearl danios

[@planetfishness]

Thank you for the suggestion! Those are pretty great fish 😊

Thank you so much for all of the awesome info! We have reptiles and my 9 year old has been so interested in fish. Also, I'm originally from the south and sadly all kinds of animals are used as prizes in fairs, especially rabbits.

[@mylash1220]

i’ve gotten a gold fish from a carnival when i was about 5. we had no idea how to care for it and we just put it in a bowl. i’m suprised it lasted 2 years…

[@storm5893]

Yeah I won a goldfish at the fair when I was in kindergarten and it lived for like 7 years

[@kevinutzig7652]

Yes.

[@AniMerci]

Very common at fairs and festivals. Goldfish, possibly the most abused animal.

[@meredithbean1414]

I have a story about carnival fish so I was at the fair with one of my friends and we were on our last ride of the night and the ride hadn't started yet and I saw someone throw something at first I thought it was a drink but when I looked closer I saw it was a goldfish I wanted to do something but I couldn't since I was already strapped into the ride. But after the ride I booked it to where I thought the fish was and at first I thought but then I noticed that it was trying to breathe so I picked it up and booked it over to where the goldfish tank was and I put it back in. It probably ended up dying two days later since those tanks are so overcrowded. But at least I saved it from a painful death

[@Yellow-fellow14]

15 minutes less go earliet ive ever been to one of yoour vids

[@lunaryjinx]

Probably unrelated, but did someone already tell you that you look like Arya from game of thrones?

[@BanthaWorship]

I won goldfish from carnivals every summer as a kid growing up in the 90's. Usually they were small common goldfish (like the feeders for turtles at the pet store) and it would have been cheaper to go buy one of those for 19 cents than to play the carnival game and win one, but... eh. I was like 8, so this isn't my fault. The first few died within a year because randomly coming home with a fish, without an employee to offer any guidance or the internet to google them, was uh... kind of doomed to failure really. Back then, especially, it was thought goldfish went in a BOWL. Yikes. The last one I won actually lived for like 7 years because by then I had gotten a book about fish from the library (even outdated as it was, it was better than going in totally blind) and had an actual aquarium set up with a filter and a heater (it dropped well below freezing where I was from in the winter). So yeah, very common carnival/fair prize when I was growing up, but began being phased out around 1998 or so, I noticed. One time the prize was LIVE BABY TURTLES. Ooof. Thank goodness I did not win that game. No way I was prepared for turtle husbandry.

[@BanthaWorship]

This was in the midwest. Maybe it was different in other parts of the country.

[@BanthaWorship]

One time we were sent to the street fair unsupervised (also pretty common back then) and all of us won a fish, but my little brother set his down to do something and FORGOT IT. Got home with 4 goldfish, 0 container for them, and the 5th fish was just sitting in a bag on a bench somewhere, hopefully someone found it. What a nightmare for everyone involved really. Woefully irresponsible to offer live animals as prizes.

[@misplacedcajun2325]

@@BanthaWorship We did the same thing in the 60s-70s. Goldfish cost hardly anything in the stores in those days. However, we thought we won something very valuable. I think we tried to toss ping pong balls into the little glass bowls where the fish were. If we won, the carnie would put the goldfish in a plastic bag. I'm glad you have those memories!!

[@mirandabalog98]

I could really use advice! I got my Betta 4 days ago from an Aquaculture store, and I waited 24 hours before putting him in his 3 gallon tank. I used a clear “bacteria ball” thing and Prime water drops. He explored the tank the first day, but on day 2-4 (currently) he has been staying at the top in the corner with his fins clamped. He won’t really eat pebbles but will eat the dried Betta worms and mysis. He only swims around when I move the water or put my hand in the tank. I checked ammonia level and it’s rated as safe, and the ph is like 7.5 with no nitrates. Do you think he is just stressed? Any advice is appreciated. In his tank I just have a little sponge filter with an artificial plant attached, a live tall plant with leaves (not real big) and another red colored faux leaf plant that has larger flat leaves so he could potentially lay on.

[@Melissa.1989]

[@baileyfisher2911]

Question for you, I’m never good at telling if my filters are too strong. Which filters do you recommend?

[@LostInWestTexas]

If it’s for bettas, look at Sponge filters. They’re perfect for bettas. You can buy whichever size fits your tank. All you need is the filter and the air pump, air hose, and the little flow valve that typically comes with the filter already.

[@sarahsimpson5161]

Hello I have been recently misdirecting into everything I will need for a Betta they sold me a 1 gallon tank which thankfully now I have changed to a five gallon and hopefully in the future a 10 gallon but I'm very worried about the cycle because I have not done one and my fish is in there and I'm worried it's not going to do well if the ammonia levels are high I recently found out about the cycle has to go through. Do you have any tips on what should I do and they also have bought a new filter but my betta looks like it's swimming against the current any idea what I should do for that? All advice is appreciated:)

[@LostInWestTexas]

Get an API test kit. It will tell you all the ammonia, Nitrite and Nitrate levels. You can do hundreds of tests with one kit. For filters, look at sponge filters. They make tons of sizes, get one for your tank size. You’ll need an air pump and hose to go with it, and a flow valve, but the valve usually comes with the sponge filter. The sponge filters are a very gentle flow for beta fish, which is perfect.
