I’d like to use one of these for a betta, preferably with live plants. Is that possible in this tank?

I just set up mine as a fishless water feature also. How long does your nan usually go before she has to do any real maintenance such as water changes, or new filters and such? Is algae a huge problem? Or odor? I used distilled water in mine to hopefully deter some of that.

Hello, do you remember me from the other week when i was filming your Ranchu? I came across you because i was looking at the Biorbs, can you get the biggest 105 bowls and how much if you can? Cheers mate!

Hi I have a few questions but not sure if i should post as this video is 3yrs old i had a bio orb before over (5yrs) but the acrylic broke as my friend wasn’t as careful as me as i disabled but i can still look after a tank but as i live alone with two cats one is a Maine Coon (4 months) & Minnie is a moggy but she is 15yrs old she used to love watching them & would curl up & like me enjoy them Angelous & Angelic so this might sound stupid by i miss the calming effects & my two used to know when it was food time Angelous (a black with a beautiful large tail with bits of sliver) & Angelic was all sliver with same large tail they still come up when i visit & still take food from the long plastic tweezers as i used pellets But they had to go to my friends tank after another friend didn’t do as i told him to while he was handling the tank & he cracked then tank while he was cleaning it But a lot has changed with the bio orb so i am hoping you will see this & help me with some advice & also hopefully be able to answer my questions as there a lot more options now before there was only the original bio orb & that was it even the store were not great as they admitted it was a new product it appealed to me due to maintenance as i put i am disabled also i have some questions on decorations it will be for 2 maybe 3 max goldfish as i hope you will see this & help me to pick the right tank my last was large so maybe something in between your nan’s one (which was beautiful i hope she enjoyed it) i loved the slate i wanted something similar but in wood & then some small green plants to put around You can tell mine was old as you had to buy a special light that enabled it to turn blue only one colour lol so wanted a wooden or maybe the slate to go over the tube & then just a few small green “plants” or other idea am not sure if i could do this add maybe a mix of a couple of green “plants” & two pink would love purple it’s my favourite colour so any ideas on what combination i could do as the slate looks beautiful then maybe a mix of tall & small green & purple “plants & the one thing i struggled with was hiding the filter as used most of the air stones to go around the base of the two plants before i had a “plant” that covered the “bubble tube” it’s what i always called it then two others that i trimmed as there wasn’t much choice then as we are talking over 8yrs so i liked that style but not sure if it would be big enough to have the decorations & most importantly 2-3 goldfish i would really appreciate any advice on the best bio sphere size to get etc i hope you can help.Marie-Clare

Too much work if you put a lot of decorations in it. I gave up on mine because too much work to clean monthly and gets dirty quickly

So you have to break down the tank once a month everytime you want to change the filter.

Why

These are actually illegal in several countries and very bad for fish (and shrimp). This isnt something they tell you at the pet store, because a lot ot them are trying to sell you a product but there are problems with fish swimming i to the filter, and the round orb distorts their vision and makes them paranoid because they feel like they can't hide anywhere. Im not trying to attack, its a mistake a lot of people make, and theres a lot of info people take for granted.
