On a recent trip to the fish shop, I saw this betta and had to get it. The shop manager said he'd only seen the colours once before and considered them very rare.

can I ask you how did you get your substrate not to turn black? I rinse it several times and finally at a desperation I just took two handfuls and sprinkled a pile on top of my gravel so I could just plant the plants in into my old tanks Have this 5 gallon tank that most likely I'm just going to have to buy a bag of natural substrate that's not soil just gravel. Then I'm just going to place in some boot tabs and then put the plants in and then fill the tank because I find that aquarium soil is just a pain. I have 11 betta tanks and when I first started all they had was colored gravel so most of my tanks have a newbius I have tried other plants but they can't survive without aquarium soil or CO2 so I use a lot of Driftwood and a newbius my fish are happy. It's not the most authentic natural look so that's why I wanted to try and do a 5 gallon with a planted tank but in the end I found that gravel works the best. I'm actually thinking about rinsing the soil I have and then draining again and then just layering it with natural gravel and maybe this will prevent it from turning into a large bucket of tank ofwater

You work is always gorgeous 😍 (If you haven't already) Could you do a takedown tutorial next time you switch up one of your scapes, please? It'd be really helpful to see how you take down glued plants/hardscapes and uproot carpeting plants. 😊

He’s a fabulous Mustard Gas Betta. They may wear themselves out flaring at one another, a card that you can slip between the tanks and remove for a daily flare/exercise session would help you get footage of them really showing off.

I dont know if anyone's mention it @MD Fish Tanks but typically iwagumi is done with just a few type of plants, mainly carpeting plants, as it is the stones that are suppose to be the main focus. that being said, i think it looks gorgeous

Iwagumi is japanese one of japanese zen style where rock and sand are the composition, no plants what so ever, you can see it in their temples.
Tank looks really good! Oh yeah, and remember to put a piece of paper or something between the two tanks so that the two bettas aren’t always seeing each other and flaring 👍

trusting they won't flare at each other is not a good policy as well as not having a lid. I have had one of my bettas jump out which he never did ever for months then one day I found him dead outside his tank.
@jacksmith6460

@@heaven7360 Yes. Betta fish can jump up to 3 inches out of the water and do jump. He is taking a big risk here only leaving about 1 inch with no lid. And he has had bettas jump out and almost die before but still hasn't learned. + as Toby create said no sight block will cause longterm stress. I feel like this chanel is about aesthetics. Not good fish care. :(
After the first arrangement of rocks I was thinking "Huh, the standards for this style must be really different because that doesn't look right at all to me!" And then it turns out I'd just spotted the teaching moment early :P
MORE NANO SCAPES PLEASE! So accessible and replicable! I love to see it!
Im just set up 2nd tank with betta next to other one , seem like you. Havtu cover side glass becouse new betta get mad so keep eye one them md. Great tank btw

This is your best tank yet IMO, the spacing and rock placement is beautiful and red gives it dramatic contrast.
When I watch my betta swim vigorously in my 10 gallon then chill for a while in various places it makes me happy. Both high/med/low plants in my tank just melts my heart. A few times we have had some spikes in some parameters but I address or let it settle out and his colors are just glowing. So are the plants. I have done this 3x but from what I have seen don't neglect but don't be so much a mother hen that it also affects the balance for the tanks (specifically with live plants especially difficult ones.
Your creativeness continues to impress us MD! Who would have thought of a DIY spillway to increase surface agitation and flow.
Thank you for going a little more in-depth on your cycling procedure. I've always seen you put fish immediately in and worried about people who thought you could just do that and walk away. Starting out, I definitely didn't understand what was supposed to happen before the water would be safe for fish. It's a wonder my fish lived...
i appreciate you taking the time to explain everything out in your videos, but moreso i appreciate you take the time to list out all of your equipment...makes it so much easier for some of us just getting back into the hobby.
Artistry + Knowledge = Masterpiece Everything is SO beautiful!!!🐠
Was so busy watching your old videos i almost miss this one... Very nice set up, as always. Take care
I always do the flat bottom with a couple of plants, but you've inspired me to try different things. Keep up the great work!
MD you are absolutely the funniest aquascaper on YT. 😁 Always enjoy your video. Great personality, cool scapes!
I love the new build! So colorful, and the Betta is spectacular!
Wonderful video! Those plants look great and the betta is stunning 😍 👍🏾
Another amazing tank! I always enjoy your videos. Thank you for sharing your talents.
Niccee, happy easter MD

I use the smaller side of the "scraping tool" with my other hand to prevent the plants from coming out after planting with tweezers.

That's a good size for a betta and for you as anything much smaller will be accumulating waste so much more.
This is my inspiration video for the tank I’ll be building very soon for my cotton candy 🍭 colored betta. So psyched MD tytyty for the video quality and efforts.
Just when I’m thinking about starting a iwagumi style nano! Great videos keep it up man ^_^
you might need screen between those 2 tanks with male bettas in or they might try and fight through the glass if they see each other

What a beautiful fish tank I really look up to you since i also enjoy keeping betta and aquascaping Lots Of Love From Myanmar 🇲🇲❤️
Hey mate great videos - probably spend half my nights watching your videos. Can you do a video (for beginners) how to set up a betta tank start to finish - what to look out for i.e. water type, filtration, tank mates etc. i’ve been looking around and people seem to have different opinions but no one seems to do videos start to finish explaining whats needed, why.. would be great if you could
Mustard gas is one of my favourite betta colours.
Love the content

Very good work, beautifull.👍

Adding that little waterfall ramp was simple but genius 😎
Happy Easter! 🥚
Great success!
Living the dream MD! That scape looks beautiful! Not sure how you keep growing red stems and carpet plants without co2 with ease😂?! But it looks great! Maybe my water is to hard for non co2? Love the channel and hope you had a great Easter with the family!
I'm fan of the hairgrass.
Beautiful scape! If this guy isn't named yet, I'd like to suggest Fabio for that gorgeous blonde tail.
Merry Easter, and I’m hungry.
Really like what MD does with his tanks ETC, don’t think the fish in cycle is the right way to go though.

I haven't watched any previous videos but as he has so many tanks I assume he uses foam filters that are already matured (?) in other tanks . I always run foam filters in my main tanks so cycling new tanks is a breeze. But I don't claim to be an expert so I could well be wrong. Worked so far...
