My big non pregnant stomach also takes a lot of space 😂

For breeder purposes this is a really good option, but I don't recommend this for a long-term setu-up. Sharing water tends to stress out the fish, as they release pheremones in the water (so even if two males can't see each other, they know there's another male nearby). The other concern is that really often I see this as a way for people to collect as many bettas as possible and make as small of a compartment as possible, and this is problematic for obvious reasons. Please, if you are doing this as a long term set-up for your bettas, do a lot of extra water changes to keep those pheremone levels in the water down, and provide each long-finned male with at least 5 gallons and each short-finned male or any female with at least 10 gallons (take into account the height of the tank, a divided 20 long with two 10 gallon compartments won't give the fish as much horizontal swimming space as an individual 10 gallon would.)

I have to agree with you. While this might be better than “jars” (OMG), the poor fish are still cramped. I have a 15G tank - divided in half - black divider with holes 1 Betta on each side and a couple of Cory’s on each side as well, plenty of plants, driftwood, and caves. My fish are very happy which is what it’s all about. Would I like more bettas? Absolutely! But my reality is I don’t have the space or time for more than 2 tanks - I have a 20G community tank as well. And again, it’s all about the fish - it’s not about me.

@@deborahjeanne2141 I'm glad somebody agrees! When it comes to long-term homes (I personally believe in 5 gallons minimum per long-finned male, 10 minimum per short-finned male or female) this is obviously way too small, although considering Taylor has a lot of betta offspring I don't expect her to house each one in it's own individual 5-10 gallon tank; it's just not possible, considering how many offspring each fish has. I don't have any problems with this sort of set-up as a short-term grow-out tank, my real concern is with viewers seeing this and deciding to cram their tank full of as many bettas as possible. My other concern is with the possible stress of a divided tank. With proper water changes to keep the pheremone levels down it works, but I have a feeling a lot of people won't end up doing that and they'll just end up with a bunch of stressed out bettas in cramped compartments.

I really don't like so many spaces , because there just to small, 3 or 4 would do fine.

In the wild Bettas can live in smaller areas during drought seasons but when the rainy season comes they get to move into large bodies of water. I’ve had them in both small spaces and other ones. However, the ones in larger tanks tended to thrive better. It would kinda be like a human living in a small bedroom that functions as living, sleeping, eating and bathroom all in one. I’m by far not a keyboard warrior or troll but I do think they would probably thrive in larger environments.

Yes, Cory does have a great system. What she has here is not a great system and is in no way comparable to what Cory has. Her system is no better than petco or petsmart. The poor betta on the opposite end of the filter and heater gets no benefit from either because of the dividers - even with holes. And the fish with the heater and filter is being overwhelmed with a too-strong water flow. She has too many dividers. I have a 15G with 1 divider, I just got a 20 long and 3 dividers. Each section in the 20G will have a small sponge filter, and each end will have a low wattage heater. 5 gallons is the minimum for a betta. 2G is not enough and she’s doing a disservice by promoting this. By the time you add substrate, it’s less than 2G per fish.

@cockatoode705

4 years ago, 1 Gallon with a filter and heater was the minimum. The canister filter intake is by the last section so the water *has* to flow through every section, pulling the heat with it. A any other filter, and you’d be right. I keep my bettas in 5 gallon tanks but I don’t try to claim 2 gallons isn’t enough for a betta. I will add that that adding substrate to a five gallon will also reduce the size.

Will a HOB filter work in this type of setup? Thinking of doing a 10 G for 2 bettas or a 20 G for 3 with 1-2 HOB filters

Settle down, dear folks! These are small spaces but safe. This will ensure the safety of some of my growing-out fish and project fish while I struggle through the first few months of crazy sleepless exhaustion that comes with having a baby.

You have to take more into account than tank size. Could the movement of tanks have caused stress initially? Were there tankmates? Was the tank open with few hiding spaces? Was the tank in a high-traffic area? Was the filter output too strong? Were there temperature fluctuations? In my experience, people who say their fish preferred a small tank just didn't set up the larger tank properly. Not saying you necessarily did, but it's very unlikely just having space to swim would cause bettas any stress. In the wild, they have miles and miles of water to swim, and they've got no problem doing that.

Can you help m me with deviders for my 120 gal tank? Were can I get these

If you have sand without subsand filter you have to break it down and wash it out sooner or later. I made my ow subsand filter because you can't back flush with the store bought ones. I use egg crate lighting plastic like you 40 gallon jar setup. I cut it to fit the tank bottom, then cut out little squares out of scrap for legs to hold the egg crate off the bottom. This leave a pretty wide open space under the substrate to create a flow. Normally you use an airstone in each riser to pull stuff down through the substrate to feed the bio, making it a huge bio filter. About once or twice a month you vaccume the gravel running it through a DIY 3" PVC pipe canister filter about 2ft long. Stuffed with pre-filter gause, next bio sponge filters, leaving space for more gause. A screw on cap for the intake with a bulkhead fitting on both ends for the hose to attach to. Now take out the airstones from both risers and put a powerhead on one of the risers, with a hose from the power head to the intake of the canister filter. And the return line to the other riset. So you have water pulled out from under the subsand filter at the first riser, and clean water pushed down the other riser, creating a current pushing dirt to the intake riser to be filtered. Let the fish poop fertilize the plants. Now you have a cleanable substrate giant bio filter. After you back flush for a few hrs, run the return line to a 5 gallon bucket or 2 for a water change. 2 buckets for a 20 gallon tank, 3 for a 30. Then use a Reverse Osmosis filter to return the water to the tank. You just did a 50% water change without throwing away any of your dirty water, turning it into super clean 7.0 PH neutral water without expensive chemicals.

Have you seen the video from Aquarium Co-op about the Goliad farms tour in Texas? They re-use 100% of their water by filtering it through plants and then back into the system, it is a fascinating watch. They only need to replace water from evaporation! Re-using water is such a good goal, I would love to have a system in my future fish room where I do it via plants/aquaponics or an RO method like yours.

I did this with a 20L as well but I wanted them to be isolated from each other (for qt purposes). I bought a sheet of cast acrylic (opaque black) and cut it into three pieces. Next I siliconed the dividers in, dividing the tank into 4 5ish gallon tanks. I put a 10 gallon heater at each end, undergravel filters in each section, and a large Java Fern on wood in each, as well. I have a betta in each section. They are thriving and loving life with their sassy little selves and I like it as well. The coolest thing is I only have to change water every 2-3 weeks, but I do it every week because I am already changing other overstocked tanks anyway.

Great video, Taylor! I have the same dividers in my tanks and love them. However, I was hoping you could share: 1) has the canister filter worked for you? I've always assumed the outflow would be too strong for a Betta in the first compartment so I stuck with small sponge filters in each compartment instead, but would love to improve filtration with a canister or even an AquaClear HOB if functional. 2) how do you heat your divided tank? Placement and wattage of the heaters in your 20 gallons? Another reason I would like to try a canister filter is the possibility of using an inline heater. Lastly, 3) what kind of lids/tops do you use on your divided tanks to prevent your bettas from jumping out? Thank you!

Hi! SOrry your females aren't getting along, that happens a lot. Do you have plenty of cover in the tank? I would make it heavily planted, or maybe have a *lot* or decorations in there to break up lines of sight and give the females places to hide if they have to. If they're just too dang aggressive then separating them is a good idea. You can get dividers for 20g high tanks, lifewithpets makes them. 2 dividers can give you 3 nice big spaces for your males. Another 3 dividers in the other tank will give you 4 nice spaces too, they will be tall and narrow but it's a nice space, about 5g per female

Maybe I missed it what are you using to filter even each section?

OMG EMERGENCY!!! I’m getting a new fish from eBay! How do I properly acclimate the fish into the tank without any temp or ph shock! Please help!

I know what you mean about tendonitis I blew out my hands and wrists 20 years ago. I still have to be careful. Love your tanks

I wonder if injuring once makes you more susceptible

im running into heating problems with 3 dividers let alone as many that you have ... keep an eye on temp the flow though the dividers is piss poor

Were is the filter from?

Great video to show people what they can actually do. I actually do 100 betta water change and each betta live in its own container. lot of work.

Yes! It is so much work. Before I downsized my fish room and project fish, I was changing about 50+ 3L jars 3 times a week. There is no way I can do this anymore with a new baby coming, so I like this as an alternative. It was expensive but saves me a lot of time and energy

Hello! So my male betta died and I was thinking about a group of females. I have a 6.8 gallon tank. How many female can I fit? Or do you think I won’t work?

Whats the model number of that canister?!?!?! Its so tiny and compact!!!!! I want one!!!

I had no idea that you are preggers!!!! Congrats!!!

what which you choose Thailand betta or Indonesian betta ? and what of reason ?

If the holes were bigger I'm the divider could only one filter be used?

Ok very good que genial en verdad buen proyecto es difícil creer que a una belleza le guste el jobi ,de antemano buen video

hi there, i had the same idea as you couple of years back. problem was arising after a week, the furthest column from the outlet will have problem first. the fish in same column as water outlet wo't be able to sleep. i tried modifications and gave up after a while.

If your flow is gentle enough, it could be just fine! I have a very tiny canister filter with a spray bar, and the flow is very slow and gentle when I point the spray bar in a crertain direction. If you had a more powerful flow, then yeah you probably wouldn’t be able to put the fish in that first section

This tank is about five months old now and it has worked great, because my filter flow is very low but it is a very healthy tank with good plant growth. I love it, although I took a few dividers out to make more space

I love this! I dont like how small the spaces are, but dividing it with a fewer number might be fun.

It's not so bad - narrow but quite long 2 gallon partitions. It worked GREAT for keeping my fish safe and sound after I had my baby and was struggling to even move for weeks. I do recommend larger sizes, though, and have modified it already to have bigger spaces

People need to realize that the small spaces are way bigger then what most people give bettas in there little bowls I think it's a great idea .. keep the videos coming

@@stankolasa2287 I know that it is much bigger than Bettas normally get in bowls. I dont agree with the bowls and I know the partitions are bigger than they seem, but I'm also not somebody that has tons of bettas such as her. I only have one and he is kept in a 5 gallon tank, I'm just saying with the resources I have available, I personally would do them larger.

Tendonitis and carpal tunnel syndrome is super common in pregnancy. It'll get better! My wrists finally started getting better at one month postpartum, thank goodness!

Where did you get the small canister filter?

Sunsun filters. Cheap Chinese made ones you can find on Amazon or Alibaba. They are not bad for what they cost and usually last a good while

Thanks! So is this a pre-filter? Can this be used by itself? I actually have a couple of bettas that I want to house like this. I love the idea. I may invest in the dividers and canister filter 😊

If your worried about flow use a sprayer bar. Personally I’d do that and put the intake in the middle of the tank. That way, clean water is going evenly through the tank, and one fish isn’t getting the ‘poopy’ end on the water current

I did think about that! I think I would need to make my own sprayer bar then to make it 30" long and be able to control the outlet of each one. Another project to add to the list...

Simply Betta atm you have all the flow going into one bettas space and any flow issues aren’t obvious. I would imagine that a standard flow bar would be fine. Another option, is to add another divider 1” from the wall of the tank, and have the return pipe go there. Then the flow would be broken up.

Yeah the stock flow bar is working fine I think - I directed it to blow at the side of the glass tank which slows it down a bit more

I like a subsand filter, always have, but now that I figured out a way toBacco Flush all that black stuff out that always collects under the subsand filter I love it even better. Eventually all that black stuff will come back up the air risers back into the tank, tainting the water. But not if you back flush. Then if you have a portable Reverse Osmosis filter, you can move that around to recycle dirty water for water changes. Portable, means a RO filter on a stand with wheels, and wired to plug in a wall socket.

I've never used a subsand filter! Usually I rely on my little sponge filters, but good tips
