Just a tip, the live plants may start to look like there dying for a while but give them a chance and they come back. Plants go through a phase when you first plant them because there transitioning from being out of water to fully submerged👍

You are definitely not abusing your animals and the people that think that are insane. My one bit of advice is that you actually don’t even need the carbon cartridges. They are nice for removing water meds but can actually leach stuff back into the water once they are full. And never replace the bio media, just rinse it in a bucket of tank water once it gets too gunky. I have goldfish and cichlids but your videos make me want to get into bettas again

Agreed I didn’t know how addicting it is now I have to 10 gallons and 1 7. it’s better to just start off with a 20 to 29 gallon tank and set it up yourself save a lot of money and space in the long run.

Here’s some constructive criticism for you that I wish someone would’ve given me when I started fishkeeping :) also sorry if any of it is already of knowledge. 1) Cycled water isn’t cycled water, it’s just water. It doesn’t absolutely nothing except in your case it would’ve stressed the betta out cause they can sense the “smell” of the other fish that was using the water, it’s how they sense rival bettas basically. 2) I use a type of stretchy string and poke holes in a sponge I bought from petsmart and tie it around the back of my filters, I don’t know the same/brand of either thing I mentioned, sorry :( 3) All five of my tanks are heavily planted with java ferns and anubias and I’ve never ever used co2 or tabs. They’re doing great, and the reason I don’t use additives is because they can harm your fish if overdosed at all. 4) For the amazon swords I think they’re low or medium light. I’d research if I were you and see if they’re lowlight, cause if so they’ll be fine with that lighting. 5) Javas and anubias are SO easy to care for and will go great in any lowlight tank. And you can propagate them easily. 6) Seachem prime is the BEST water conditioner you could ever use, trust me. It detoxifies ammonia and nitrite up to 1ppm for 24-48 hours and you can dose it 5x in emergency situations (for example if your cycle crashed) Seachem products are what the vast majority of experienced fish keepers use. And to avoid overdosing it on accident, buy an eyedropper from walmart and put two drops per gallon. 7) Finally the most helpful thing is becoming a member of a site like “myaquariumclub.com” you can post any question you have about a sick fish or water quality issues on this forum and experienced members can help you out a lot! I’ve learned so much I would’ve never known before joining, and people have helped me and instructed me on saving two already sick parasite infested bettas :) Anyway you’re doing really great taking care of them! I don’t know why anyone would hate on you for your setup. I’ve seen famous pet-tubers on here put bettas in an uncycled 2.5 gallon with a ton of shrimp or other tank mates and get praised for it sadly. Keep doing what you’re doing because you’re helping inform people of what a healthy betta environment looks like!

@robogreifer

Exactly this, especially #1! Bacteria doesn’t live in the water, it lives mostly on your filter media and a bit on decor, gravel, etc., so the best way to cycle a tank is with established media from another tank. It’s a process that takes anywhere from 2-8 weeks, and in the meantime, if a fish is in there, you really need to be doing frequent water tests, water changes, and dosing with a detoxifying conditioner, like Prime. Also, I recommend ditching the cartridges completely. You don’t really need chemical filtration if you’re not trying to filter out medication, so plain old filter foam will do, and you only have to throw it out if it’s falling apart (mine’s been going good for months, with good cleanings in tank water when it needs it, so you never lose any of the good bacteria).

2.5 is bare minimum for a single betta.

I had the patience to watch all of it because I like watching people set up fish tanks. I have a ten gallon tank and one of my fish had fry and this is the second time I have had fry in my tank. I'm pretty sure fish tank owners biggest pet peeve is when the algae get everywhere. It's very relaxing to watch fish.

I don't think you'll see this but it's worth a shot- First of all, I don't understand why you get hate since it seems you actually do know what you're doing and have done research in the past. What I think would be really cool is if you took the fake plants off the hut and super glued on some java moss. You could also glue some on different parts off the hut and give it that aged and natural look?

The pump has a setting to put it slower. It's like a lil circled in the back of the pump. There are some videos around here that explain it. "Look for How to adjust the flow Top Fin". Beautiful decor btw😊🤗

Your betta fish tanks are AWESOME! I have a betta fish that was originally in a 1 gallon tank, but since watching some videos like yours i upgraded it to a 10 gallon. Now he is so much happier now. I love your vids because they demonstrate what a good tank looks like.

The stones to lessen the flow is such a great idea! Looks amazing and get the job done. Also that is one beautiful fish!

This is so adorable! The tree house and all the plants around it. This reminds me of the tree house and the jungle around it from Tarzan.

Hey, I have the same tank for my betta. What I did to ease the flow was use a cut water bottle (cut the top and bottom off then cut it in half long ways) and the little command strip hooks on the lid to hold it right under the waterfall. It catches the water and stops most of the current. It took me a couple tries to get it right, but it works pretty well. I hope this helps :)

Thank you for all of your videos, your love for Bettas got me back into the hobby, now I have several tanks of fish and three new tanks with bettas, so thank you so much for everything you do

I love the decor you chose for your tank, I am trying to decide between the Fluval Chi, Fluval Spec and now this tank as well! I think you are doing great taking care of your fish, and if it is a passion of yours, don't let any haters stop you!

Be careful with seachem prime in small tanks! It's very concentrated and it's easy to over-treat the water (which can make the fish sick). Also, you are taking excellent care of your fish, most people dont even give their betta 5 gallon tanks. 😁

I've always been told to not use carbon in a planted tank because the carbon supposedly removes all the fertilizers that the plants use to grow. But... Having said that, Amazon Swords are supposed to be heavy root feeders and since you added root tabs the carbon may not bother them. Again... I'd like to see an update video if you can. I may actually try putting some carbon in one of my tanks that I have with Swords just to see if makes any difference. I really like the way you set up the tank. It's so pretty.

Your plants should be fine in that light because they don’t need much light. I also have live plants in my tank and I kept the top fin light in there and they are doing really well. Just make sure to keep up with the ammonia and nitrate/nitrite levels in your water.

I’m so glad you got that tank because it’s the one I’ve been looking into getting it AND I love and trust your reviews/hauls ❤️

I watched your video and had a few comments to maybe explain what was put rudely before. I'm not an expert by any means, but I did notice some things that might truly impact this fish, and I will try to explain rather than tell you off. First off, the major thing I noticed was that you did a good job looking for a silk plant back up in case the live plants didn't work out. That is a good idea and you noticed that the betta would need soft leaves so its fins wouldn't be damaged while resting. I also noticed that while you were setting up the tank that the hardscape you used, which is beautiful and I'm jealous of it btw, has very pointy looking leaves. When placing it, you bumped them and it seems like they were a ridged plastic kind of leaf. I am not sure if its plastic or silk, but I wanted to bring that up for you to consider. Those looked like prime resting places, and I would hate for a male betta to have this fins shredded by those leaf pokies. If they are silk, good freaking job, that hardscape is amazing. Second, initially, it seems like a good idea to use the tank water from a cycled tank, with it being cycled and in an already healthy tank, but I would point out that the water from the other tank "smells" like another fish, the fish living in the tank it came from. As other fish lived in its water it put out hormones to signal this is my area. It doesn't matter too much because he is in the tank by himself. But introducing those hormones to another fish is like... Let's say that your sitting at home, minding your own business, and then suddenly, you smell another person in your house. You live alone.... or... you thought you did... so you look around to find where the other person is that you can smell, but you can't find them. That would not be a fun experience. Other than that, I enjoyed your video. Keep on going and doing what you love. You enjoy this and are making videos, that's awesome. I want to make videos one day but I know I might face the same issue as you. I just hope someone will explain rather than just attacking someone for not knowing, use the teachable moment for what it is and move on.

I agree with you. My betta is in a 2.5 gal, heated and fully cycled (sponge filter) tank and people would not shut up about how I needed a minimum of 5 gal and then they kept going on about how I needed live plants, well guess what I don’t wanna deal with live plants! My dad has been an aquarium hobbyist since I was born and has had everything from cichlids and piranhas that he would hand feed live food to, to a goldfish community tank. So it’s not like I don’t know what I’m doing, I’ve had over 10 years experience (and I’m only 22). I know exactly how cycling works and I use a test kit frequently to check water parameters. Like yeah 5 gals is better but for almost everywhere including fishlore 2.5 gals is the minimum and absolutely fine.

Don’t stop making videos! I’m an expert fish keeper that’s been out of the hobby for a very long time and just recently set up a Betta tank for the first time. It’s the Fluval Flex 9g. I like your videos and how you show what you can pick up at the pet store for others. That being said, you can always modify the filters that come with the tanks you are trying out. The flow on mine was very strong and the Betta I set it up for lived in a bowl and never had heat, lights or flow. You can but large blocks of foam and cut them to shape to custom fit whatever brand/type filter you have. Filter floss works wonders to soften flow and it polishes the water to crystal clear. Also look into buying pre made sponges that go on any tube that this one and your hang on back filters have. It’s extra surface area and that’s always beneficial. I always ditch all carbon and disposable filter cartridges and just make my own. You will increase the filters potential and save yourself a ton of money between all your tanks and the foam will be reusable for many years to come. Keep spare material in another cycled tank and you will always be able to seen any new tank you set up. If you ever have a question or idea just reach out.

I was inspired and went bought one after this video! The tank is superrrr cute, I also love the water sound! Also sis, ignore the haters because we love your content.

You’re doing amazing Alyssa ! I’ve been watching you since you’ve made your first eat stretching video !! I love the dynamic of your videos and keep being you girl !!

Ofcourse people will say my tank is overstocked but my fish are thriving and everything is fine also my frogs are really small so I personally do not think it is crowded but it’s all about how the fish are doing honestly I am a beginner but I think I’m doing pretty well also !!

Pretty betta! I love the vampire diaries and the originals :)

I absolutely love these videos and I love how you use your imagination to create the looks of these tanks !!!❤❤

I'm so sorry hon that people attacked you your so sweet and caring with your pets..I just got my Betta I'm 65 and have learned alot from you Thank You

I have been keeping fish for over 40 years. A bit of advice: I don't recommend these tall tanks simply because fish don't swim up and down. They swim back and forth so they need a tank that's longer.

You guys don't know what abuse of animals look like. Accusing someone of abuse is a very serious thing that should not be taken lightly. You have to be careful what you say on the internet because you can hurt someone. You can't accuse someone of abuse just because they don't have the biggest bestest tank for their fish or whatever pet. Abuse is having an animal is unsanitary and unimaginable conditions that is harming them or/and their health. So please think before you type and be hateful towards someone.

I love how that looks

Just got my first Betta Fish and thank you for all your advice 😊👍🏼

Thank you for linking the tank in the description! I’m interested in this tank :). Lovely set up. I have a hard time getting into aquatics, but I’m going to hopefully try and give it a shot

hey girl! your tank looks so cute! just a tip, you don’t have to put all the tabs in the tank 1 or 2 would do the job and then in a month add 1 or 2 more!

Love the tank and the video keep it up!! ❤️❤️ also good to see you taking care of your fish xx

The tank is gorgeous!

It's good to see what others are doing with there fish and tanks . Not everyone is a mature keeper with years of experience . I started out November 2018 . I do lots of research . You learn by mistakes , that's the beauty of it . You keep going girl , make mistakes and see your creation shine . It's all about life experience . I've started keeping Betta fish and I love it . Good luck . 😁

You know what you are doing is right cause you love your pets, so keep going and cause your doing a good job.

I love the London Telephone Booth in the other tank, where did you get it? Also loved how you played "Under the Sea" in the background.

I’m sorry that people are being rude. I hope that it gets better. Oh and I like the flower tattoos. I’ve been doing a sleeve on my right arm and just did skull and roses! Well anyway great vids!👍🤙✌️

Omg! That is so sweet. Happy fish.

I loved watching The Originals. Wish it was still on. Your tanks look awesome.

I'm also horrible with getting new fish and other pets. Ik I need to stop but I can't 😂 also I don't see you doing anything wrong with your fish other than not cycling but that's a common mistake beginners make. Your fish look great. People are never gonna be happy, someone is always gonna find a problem with what you do. Don't get discouraged. Keep making videos, leave comments open so everyone can talk about how much we love your tanks and fish lol. Also the lighting depends on what plants you have. So just research the plants you bought and see whether they need high, low or medium lighting

You are right, there is totally no need to be nasty if you think someone is doing something wrong. 5 gallons is perfect for a betta, as are live or silk plants, betta hammocks, and low flow filters. :) I want to give you a tip about those filter cartridges, though! Carbon is not necessary in any filter unless you are specifically trying to remove something, like old medications, you're having trouble with your tap water quality or water quality in general, or you are trying to get your water extra clear. I only ever use carbon to remove old medication, though. Instead, you should buy yourself a big couple of sheets of pond filter sponge in a couple of different porosity variations - very course, medium course - and some fine filter pad or filter floss and simply cut it to size. That way you only need to change the floss/fine pad when it gets super mucky and you can simply rinse the sponges in old tank water when they get mucky as well. That will save you a tonne of money in the long run and you won't lose BB every time you replace a cartridge! Plus, you can add some more bio media as well. :) That waterfall filter has a tonne of room for extra bio media from the looks of it, not that that's a huge issue with betta, usually. :)

just stumbled on your channel this morning. love it keep up the good work Alyssa!

I am very impressed how mature you are when it comes to rude comments.

Where did u get the ornament btw great video and stomp on the haters

3:55 I completely agree. I don't make videos myself, but I can already imagine the comments. Some people just come up with rude stuff that will likely not even be true. You literally bought a bottle requested by the people in the comments and they still find a way to complain about it. I like your videos so far, keep it up!

That light will be great for the live plants 👍 I have two Live plants in my top fin 5.5 gallon tank and they are flourishing! I just bought a specific plant gravel for them and that’s it! They might start to look brown but that’s ok they’re not dying. I recommend a moss ball to keep algae levels low.

Block all those turds that just don’t let them get to you! Your doing an AMAZING JOB! :)

The hut looks like links home in "legends of Zelda ocarina of time"

Girl, you’re doing amazing taking care of your finned babies. I’m sorry people feel the need to harass you instead of kindly telling you what you could work on. Keep up the good work🖤

Beautiful tank set-up and you have the perfect color and type of betta for this tank 😊❤... And he's just gorgeous!! 😆

Watching other fish keepers videos they have said they had to develop very thick skin because the comments can get brutal. Don’t let a relatively small group of nasties keep you from doing what you love. Every body has their own way of doing everything unfortunately, social media has given a voice to everyone and that (at least to me) has given license to bully anyone who doesn’t think like they do. Keep up the hobby, as long as you are passionate about the hobby, that will transfer to the care of your pets and they will thrive! Even the top most knowledgeable people have tanks crash, no one is exempt.

The pet store didn’t even try to box the tank correctly 😂

Love the video keep up the great work. All your pets look great and healthy

All 3 looked good and active to me. Keep up the great work

I wish I could have a fish tank 😭

I've heard bad things about tall tanks and issues with gas exhange with the lack of surface area at the top of the tank... hows this tall tank working for you? It looks cute. I've also heard horror stories about fish poop/bacteria getting stuck under sand and when it is disrupted/released it can poison/kill your fish. I currently have that same sand in my betta tank and so far so good... keep an eye on your sand and be careful when you clean it.

A betta would be fine in a tank with minimum surface tension, just because they have a labyrinth organ that allows them to take in air from the surface rather than having to solely rely on oxygen in the water! Also when it comes to sand substrate, during every water change it's good to get into the habit to disturb the sand to prevent those toxic gas pockets from forming. It can be tricky working around plant roots, but as long as you do it regularly, you shouldn't have a problem.

@GiraffeCoco

Every week you have to stir up all of the sand to nothing bad can form in it, with her tank it's going to be really hard to do that.

this looks so good!!

I’m happy your still posting because I personally really enjoy your videos.

all id say is the hut may be a problem; it takes up a bit too much swimming room since its a tall tank instead of a long and also the plants on it look a bit spikey and may damage ur bettas fins! otherwise i think it looks great :) i do think you should check out some vids to help optimize your filters/filter media bc they really arent the best (they're fine but could be better!!!!)

You know, I used to hate Betta fish. I used to think they were silly, kind of a 'fake' fish to own. When I was a kid, everybody and their dog had a Betta fish and they always kept them in the same tiny glass bowls they bought them in, and it just felt so lazy and unprofessional to me. After researching and delving further into the moral and ethical components of fish care, I find that I am liking the Betta more and more. It makes me so happy seeing people such as yourself that are willing to give so many bettas a caring and healthy environment to live in where so many would fail them, thank you for inspiring me and I'm sure others as well

Thank you for sharing! I have zero tanks and zero fish. I plan on getting one so its nice to see someone else who is just doing their thing and having a great time doing it :)

nice decoration. I loved your stuff you used for your tank. beautiful superman crowntail Betta
