Wow an animal content youtuber actually listening to suggestions and making improvements...? I'm impressed. Mad props bro. My only suggestion is maybe get a background for the tank? It makes it look cleaner and cozier. You could get one with plants on it or even just black! Floating plants would be great too!

Hi Griffin, glad you switched out the plastic for real plants. I noticed you planted the Java Fern into the substrate. That will kill your plant. They get their neutrients from the water column actually, not the roots. A popular way to 'plant' them is to glue them onto a rock or piece of wood. Most people use Gorilla super glue JELL. Put a bit of glue on your rock or wood, then hold the plants rhyzome in the glue for a few seconds or so, and it will stick. Then place back into the tank wherever you want it. This type of glue is perfectly safe for your fish. Anyhow, thanks for sharing. Love watching your new ventures in fish keeping! You're doing great! Keep up the good work!

Bobby Blue is an amazing name! I love all the natural stuff. One of my favorate things is to suction cup a leaf up near the top of the tank. this provides a resting spot on more levels.

THE WAY HE EATS IS SO CUTE OMG

Bobby blue looks so happy! Kudos to you for giving him his upgrade, he will appreciate the slow flow and the live plants! Floating plants are always a good addition

You are doing such a great job with your channel Griffin! Cant wait for what's to come.

Hey Griffin, Thanks for the update. "Bobby Blue" is actually the perfect name. Love the new real plants, etc. Looks much better and a more natural setting for him. You obviously listened to the suggestions and did a great job. Thank You, as always Griffin, for sharing and look forward to your next video & "Bobby Blu" update. Take Care.

He looks happier! 🐟

Looks great

HE SO LOVES IT

New setup is 🔥 Loving the videos!!

Love the live plants!!

well griffin another amazing job on your tank upgrade and bobby blue is looking amazing your like a proud father looking out for your boy

Love the look of the redecorated tank. Live plants are great. I have Java Fern planted in my gravel too and it is huge now and doing well.

He’s so cute I love him😭

BOBBY BLUE!!!! i look forward to the days you upload man. keep up the grind. i’m proud of you 🔥

I know that beta fish do like to jump so I would recommend trying to find a lid or using some floating plants to discourage jumping out. Also noticed he spit the food out a couple times at the end that might be a sign that the food is a bit too big for his little mouth. Great job overall can tell that you really care about your little buddy

What a fun video that really cheered me up tonight, Griffin...You did a great job explaining everything and the tank does look much better and natural now...the black gravel looks beautiful...I did get nervous seeing how that tank is right on the edge of that surface...I have been thinking of getting a 5 gal tank and a Betta, after seeing this I know I will get one when I am ready for it. Thank you so much for this video, so glad I saw it and saved it and subscribed too.

Hi griffin glad to see you still posting 😂

Hi griffin I’m so happy you switched to live plants they are much better for betta fish. Love how the tank looks it’s beautiful!!! Keep the good work 😊

This is great! I love that you spent the time and money to upgrade the tank for your betta!!!! Someone else already said to glue your java fern to some small rocks with the super blue gorilla gel. The only other thing that I might recommend would be a few floating plants. That will also help reduce a little bit of the light for him if you want to have your tank light on more often. Bravo to you! 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

Damn, definitely a good upgrade! Good to know the sponge is working, also smart taking out the sharp plants, they didn’t look to sharp but bettas are dumb . I’d suggest getting a kit to measure water parameters especially gh and kh. Can dial in the water for those plants, also will help you know when you have to many minerals from the spring water. If you always use spring water you’ll eventually have to many minerals since those don’t get sucked up as easily during water changes, learned that the hard way. Distilled or ro water is good to use when you think your tank dosent need the spring water. Good to start with spring water, just not needed for every water change.

Won’t kill him or anything, just can make water to hardy for plants.

I’m happy I found your videos just subscribed looking to start a beta tank just like this

Was planning to get a betta fish, this helped so much bro!!! Thanks, great video as usual. Ik you like reptiles/lizards as well, definitely look into Uromastyx lizards, I just have a feeling you gonna love them 🔥

Griffin by far has the best channel, I’ve seen in a long time.

Bobby Blew......because he needed the money . LOL Andrew Dice Clay

That is such a cute name. Love the tank setup now, but one more thing that your fish would love is a leaf hammock, as they do breath air he would love somewhere to relax but still be close to the surface of the water.

get some red floaters (plants) they have long roots they love to hide in a weave through. plus will help keep algae down and it darker when you do have the lights on. looks good tho.

He is still Jamarcus to me 😂

Mr. Bobby Blue is beautiful!!😊

Yes live plants, freckles woulda been a great name tho maybe next time? 😗

Good improvement bro, You should take your java ferns out of the gravel as the roots will rot. The plants can be glued with an aquarium glue or tied with cotton onto a rock or piece of wood until it attaches itself. I think doing some lava rock would be best as it wont effect your water parameters. Heaps of videos on making plant substrates if that interests you so you and bobby have a beautiful tank in your home. Have a good one

I think the only thing else you should add is beta leaves, they float and they can use those to rest on and itll bring a little pop to the top of the tank

great job. Now we can see the progress of your tank. Your betta looks happier. Java fern can be glued on rocks. I shoud add more live platns you have space for it. Bettas love floating plants like salvinia natans and water letuce :) Your tank looks more natural, keep up your work tc

Much better

Very nice, what about the bubble curtain? Can you use it without the LEDs? They like bubbles.

Griffin, I haven’t added fish to my tank in years and was considering selling it all. I was down to nothing but 5 cories and a few snails. Then I watched your last video, and I went out and bought some new plants and two female bettas for my 30 gallon. Yeah, it’s a lot of tank for 7 fish!

@@bimiup1 no but that’s the minimum size needed for those fish in general, it’s not all about bioload. Corys are very active and need room to move. Two bettas (even females) shouldn’t be together because that’s not even a proper sorority but I suppose a heavily planted 30 gal would be sufficient room for them to get away from eachother when needed.

Is it okay to put the plants in while he’s in there? Like will it scare them too much

in my experience it's less stressful if you do it in stages like Griffin did rather than remove the fish.

congrats on your new baby snails in a couple weeks lol

A good plant that is very similar to anubis is rubin sword, and it will fill the entire entire tank

I didn't know my moss covered ball could be worth money, are the worth more if they come with crabs? LOL

Bobby BLEW!!!! Fuck yeah man 🤙🏼

Bobby Blues looks so much like my fish!

Just subscribed and man are you gorgeous!

#RoadTo10KSubs 📈What Up G $quad ?!🤙Let's Goo0OOO00ooo !! 💪😁

Add some driftwood Mr.Bobby blue will love it

nice additions. 🤙your pump may have a little adjustment on it at the base to lower the flow

Try getting a few panda cory which will help clean the bottom of the tank.

Cory cats are schooling species so they need to be in groups of at least 6 in 20 gallons minimum. Not a good suggestion for his 5 gal betta tank.

you should get a flouting log for the top of the tank

Grif. Buy plants displayed in tanks. Better foliage. Way better....great job!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!+

I just recently got a new beta fish named angel he’s a male halfmoon.my oldest beta fish magby just recently died from old age I was really sad.so I went back to the pet store to get one .also magby was a dragon scale beta fish.more rare species.also angel is the same colors as spider man.he is also number 43 out of 42 other animals on my small farm

I love the new Griffin Johnson ❤️ keep on uploading awesome videos. Collect more awesome fish Griffin. Make a big fish tank with exotic fish

i recommend a couple mates like 3 cory catfish or around 4 neon tetra

id def take the java fern out of the substrat, cuz their roots dont like to be covered :) i would tie them to a rock or something. or, the same with the anubias, thats tied to the log. but it looks great! I also did the same thing with my filter :) maybe get a nice bushy plant for the middle? other than that its amazing!!

I think some top floating plants like red root floater or dwarf water lettuce but not duckweed thats just messy and takes over fast. The other floaters grow quickly too BUT they're bigger clumps and nice roots.

Background for the tank. Any update any Bobby Blue?😊

Hey griffin I’m not an expert on betas but I know a few things. Good job on switching out the fake bad plants for real ones, a recommendation I have is if you could add some spider wood or wood in the middle section. If you do add that you can weave moss ferns and other plants around the wood. A personal favorite plant of mine that grows really well and bettas and other small fish like is money wart so maybe you could add some money wart

U might wanna kick thr light time up a bit for the live plants but a great idea to switch to real plants very beneficial of bettas and other fish

One quick thing thatis over feeding the tank betta fish have a stomach the size of there is so over feeding can kill them so 2 of those would be more than enough and feed every 2 days

Bobby blue dr zodiaks 💨

I need me a new tank🔥

Can we add some tetras or guppies along with Bobby blue??

SO BLESSED

What's the size of the aquarium in millimeters?

I would like to try real plants but i actually have silk plants’ these plants are just as soft as real plants and work the same. If you don’t want to deal with keeping real plants alive i definitely recommend silk plants.

Add duck weed

I would suggest blacking out the back of the tank I use black construction paper from the dollar store

So are living plants actually healthier for the fish? Other than not having sharp edges, I mean? 😅 It seems like they’d be very hard to keep alive?

those moss balls prefer colder water i had them in a 70+ temp tank and they just slowly died

Just so you know there stomach is the size of there eye so it’s recommended 2 pellets a day

😬❤❤❤❤❤❤☮

My betta is a blue veiltail named bobby lmao

Betta! Goddamnit, BETTA, as in you'd betta not pronounce this breed of fish as some kind of lesser or weak male species. It's a Siamese fighter, and will destroy you to the death! They are not BETA, they are much BETTA than that! That being said, I love your video and what you did with the plants. Lovely overall setup.

Nice video man. Get Bobby Blue a girlfriend now. Name her Whoraanna White

You're over feeding! 2 or 3 in the morning and the same at night.

From SEA, always amazed by the cost. I spent 20 bucks and got more plants than you

You can put tape over the LEDs to reduce the light intensity!!!

Too much food only need 2-4 pellets a day!

Geez, I'm embarrassed to say what I have in my tank with my Betta. I'll be going to the store today and we'll act like I never put all those sharp objects and fake plants in.

Great video. You can also look into getting him some floating plants bettas in addition to having gills like other fish they also have a labyrinth organ and can take in a breath of air and the organ is kind of like a lung . They love to sleep in plants close to the surface and occasionally taking in some surface air . Especially the big fin males need the rest . Looking good
