Im still a rookie, Is it ok to do water changes when cycling a tank? I've heard not to do that because you remove ammonia and slow down the build up of bennificial bacteria. Therefore never completing th cycling process. I've been waiting for my ammonia and nitrites to drop to 0ppm before doing a water change.

But it’s kinda true in the way that most women like super bright not natural colors in their tank and men usually like a natural one ( all but most )

Funny enough, my ex friend (male) actually teased me (female) for having fish tanks because he thought of it as a manly hobby 😂😂 Because men go fishing, build tanks, build stands, etc so he found it weird for me, a girl, to build my own tank, build my stand, have natural stuff inside like driftwood, live plants and rocks. He considered it manly because “Women don’t like getting their hands dirty” 😅 no longer friends with him after that. Plus he had a 1gal tank with no heater for his betta with no hides, blue gravel, fake neon plants and has a pirate ship that was way too big for the tank so it took up half of it. He also said that cycling didn’t matter (it very much does). Another reason I’m not friends with him anymore.

Thanks for the inspiring video. After watching this video, I went to Petsmart and purchased a male Rose Petal Betta. He is Royal blue with bright yellow fins. When setting up his new home, I used what I had on hand at home. I set up a 10 gallon tank with a heater, pea gravel from Lowe’s, some fake plants I already had and driftwood. For filtration I used a Top Fin Silent Stream 40 HOB filter. That filter is a bit big for a 10 gallon tank but the flow can be adjusted . I’ve turned it to the lowest setting. There is very little flow and the betta likes that. I keep the heat set to around 80 degrees. My new Betta (I haven’t decided on a name yet) is very active and loves his new home. I also keep 6 feeder goldfish rescues in a 75 gallon aquarium. I started with 2 feeders about six months ago and they are now about 4 inches in length. Last month I rescued 3 more feeders. After being quarantined for a month, they are now enjoying their new 75 gallon home. Thanks again to you and your wife for all the great videos. I learn something new each time I watch you guys.

I think the tank looks nice. Scott is gorgeous! I have fake plants in two of my tanks - my Oscar tank and my Goldfish tank. All the others have live plants. They make some really nice looking fake plants now. I've used that internal filter before and it is quiet. I look forward to seeing what Lisa does.

Love the "manly" tank. I like these types of set ups. I do think live plants are more beneficial to maintaining a healthy ecosystem for fish, but I understand your reasoning for the silk options. I have used silk and still recommend them to people who are unable for whatever reason to make the jump to live. I love Scott 😍💗💗 (the fish not the man, idk him)! He seems very interactive. I can't wait to see your updates on him and Lisa's video for a "girly" tank next week.

Very manly. Scott is a great betta. I also like silk plants. Easy to maintain. For algae control I like a nice sized moss or algae ball. Great job.

I've never even thought of a masculine or feminine fish tank, but I do bond with some fish. (Shout out to Allen and Steve, my two fav cory cats!) Thanks for bringing up this topic. We can always talk about a fish or a water parameter, but we don't often discuss the emotional and social issues of fish keeping. I'm glad to say that if I saw any man with any fish tank on his desk, I would have thought it was cool and never would have thought to question his manhood. I get that some people feel differently.

I have a55g that I’m slowly stocking. I have fancy guppies and orange laser Cory cats in there now, with ember tetra’s quarantined in a20g before I add them to the 55g. My ultimate goal is getting 6-7 female bettas. My LFS raises his female bettas in the same tank, which I think is a plus for peaceful living. My tank is heavily planted, has rock caves, driftwood, and plenty of hiding places. I have a 15g with a divider that’s cycling now, also heavily planted, has driftwood caves, and will be the home of 2 male bettas and some otocinclus. I think my tank looks masculine because how does a tank look feminine with rocks, driftwood and jungle plants and 2 boy bettas?! Setting up the tank was fun. Now the hard part - picking 2 bettas. My LFS has a very sophisticated system for his bettas which includes filtration and heat for each betta - and they don’t live in little cups. Consequently, he has the most gorgeous bettas in the most gorgeous colors, and they are extremely active. So different from Petsmart and Petco. I can’t wait until the beta tank is finished cycling!

A longer (rather than taller) tank is more suitable for bettas so that they can reach the water surface more easily to breathe air. A longer tank also provides more longitudinal swimming space.

My main tank is planted, with a hardscape of natural rock and driftwood. I can't see how it *isn't* manly! It's a handsome tank and the fish are very happy with it too.

JOHN! HOW DARE YOU?! HOW DARE YOU CALL ME LAZY?! IF IT WASN'T FOR THE FACT THAT IM RELAXING ON THE COUCH DOING ABSURDITY NOTHING I WOULD TELL YOU OFF. MAYBE LATER OR NOT. 😎👍

You named your betta after Scott of King and Queen Cichlids. Your betta is adorable. Love the fact you did a manly betta tank love the videos.

I have live plants in that same substrate. Works fine for most of them.

A few months ago my mom took me and my brother to petco to get him a new betta fish. We went in the store and I saw a literaly my dream betta fish which coincidentally was a king beta. My mom saw how much I wanted the fish and bought it for me. Then I got home and set up a tank which so happened to be on my desk. One of the reasons I wanted it was becaues it was a manly betta fish. Its amazing how we did the same thing.

I just love how this little betta peaks under the driftwood and then comes out. So cute! The betta that is. And yes perhaps you too.

No one: Litterally no one: The youtube algorithm: WANNA SEE A MANLY BETTA FISH TANK!!! Me: Why not.

My betta become a truck driver and grills for me every Sunday ! Thanks John

The MANLY tank is very cool! Having raised 5 sons I can affirm, the easier the better as far as loving lazy goes for most males of the human sort.

Nice video, coincidentally I started a Betta tank in January. Found a nice used Tetra half moon 10 gallon tank that came with led light heater and filter. First thing was paint the back black added a couple of white stones and a ceramic tower my Daughter brought back from Thailand a few years ago, planted the tank and waited a week for cycling. The little heater works great and keeps the tank at a steady 75-82, I decided not to use the little filter as I had an older Eheim 2213 laying around, plenty of power for this little tank and filter cleaning every 4 months now :). First occupants were a trio of Platies an Apple snail for the glass and a Trumpet snail for the substrate. Big Al's had a sale on Neon Tetras - 10 Neons were perfect for the 10 gallon, a few days later I spotted a nice male Red Crowntail Betta. With his red exterior and blue undertones he fits right in with the Neons, Being livebearers I might have to rethink having the Platies - sure I could feed them to the Cichlids in the 75 - maybe I'll just keep the males.... Manly or not my Grand Daughters loves the little fish in the little tank as well as the big fish in the big tank

All of my bettas have fake plants, except for the moss balls and occasional java ferns. I've not mastered growing live plants yet. Also, I can 200% confirm that sand substrate shows ALL the dirt. Even with a clean up crew, it gets gross. I'm going to be switching to either gravel or plant substrate the next time I redo my tanks.

ANd its no longoer swollen, can't wait for further healing

I've had family fish for years but never had my own so I decided this year to start my own up I got my first tank and set it up got water in and started treating with api quick start and all water conditioning I needed 4 days later I got my first few fish. And nearly 6 months later my tank is doing amazing I've put my fish in a new tank this week a 4ft long and I love it so much but still alot to learn and FYI yes I lost 3 fish in total over 6 months 😁

Honestly, I'm a female but I really prefer easier and more natural looking tanks. They relax me a lot more. When I first got into the hobby I went big and extra but then I was like " Just because I like this, does not mean my fish will." I've found my fish live a lot longer and happier in my simpler tanks.

The name Betta (or betta) is pronounced /ˈbɛtə/ the first part is the same as the English word bet. The name is often pronounced /ˈbeɪtə/ in American English, and may be spelled with one 't'. The name of the genus is derived from the Malay word ikan betah ("persistent fish").

Yes calling them “baytas” annoys me. That’s the second letter of the Greek alphabet. It’s not a huge deal but at least betta enthusiasts should say it right...

Another great video, thanks again.

Even though I'm female, my manly tank features natural gravel, a (Bichar) rope fish, and a wooden barrel. I allow my pathos vine to naturally hang into the water to give him something to prop on to "breath"...no jumping.

14:51 John, how dare you call me lazy. I believe you meant efficient. 😆🍻

I’m setting up a 27G tank. Black sand on one side and black sand w/ black river stone on the other. Fake roots and getting ready to put plants in there. White betta put in yesterday. Looks good so far

You guys should show all the bettas you have in a video or do like a viewer entry video where you make a top ten of the prettiest bettas that viewers have

That’s a manly goldfish tank behind you! Lol

I have been a betta mom since the beginning of the year and have been struggling with algae for the last month or so. If you have a video talking about how to deal with algae can you point me in the right direction. If not, I would love to see one!

the fluval and aquaion products can leach voltage into the tank. both of these filters did this with the 55g gallon fluval hang on back and the internal 10gallon filter aquaion. the fish werent harmed but i could feel the static charge on the water surface every time i put my hand in the water.

I have a 60 gallon community tank with 7 bettas, 3 Gourami,6 glo, 8 barb’s,2 clown loches ,2 rainbow sharks an 2 redlines an a white crawfish with some tetras harmonizing with the monkey king!!

Scott seems to be very happy!

I love the fake plant idea! Going to check out the Aqueon filter. Newer filter? I'm a woman and my tank is manly with wood and plants!😁💙🌱

Really liked this video. Thank you.

Awesome Betta tank man. Thanks for sharing!!
